How can videolaparoscopy be used in a peritoneal dialysis programme? (1/1305)

BACKGROUND: Recently videolaparoscopy is considered to have a vaster use in surgery due to the undeniable benefits such as low operatory traumatism, quick recovery of canalization, a short stay in the hospital and minor scarring. METHODS: Forty patients were treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD); 15 videolaparoscopic procedures were performed on 13 patients before starting PD and two during the course of PD. The videolaparoscopy procedure was started by inducing pneumoperitoneum after initiation of general anaesthesia through endotracheal intubation. RESULTS: Peritoneal catheter placement was carried out in 11 ESRD patients showing abdominal scars due to previous laparotomies; their abdominal condition precluded safe PC placement using conventional non-laparoscopic procedures with local anaesthesia. Release of adhesions was performed only in two patients. Videolaparoscopy was also used in three patients for elective cholecystectomy; 2/3 underwent concomitant PC insertion. One patient was submitted to cholecystectomy during the course of CAPD; following the procedure we left the peritoneum dry overnight and then we started temporary IPD, using small volumes, avoiding haemodialysis (HD). Regular CAPD was resumed 6 days later. Finally, videolaparoscopy was also used for diagnostic purpose i.e. in one 59-year-old man patient who had a peritoneal catheter obstruction. Repeated rescue attempts using urokinase solution to irrigate the peritoneal catheter had been used in vain attempts prior to the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Videolaparoscopy proves to be a useful tool in a PD programme. Firstly, it may be used as a technique for catheter implantation, not as a routine procedure but in patients with extensive abdominal scars due to previous laparotomy, i.e. at risk for accidental viscera perforation due to the possibility of adhesions between intestinal loops and parietal peritoneum. Secondly, videolaparoscopy used for abdominal surgery allows the resumption of PD immediately after surgical procedure and thus avoiding HD. Videolaparoscopy is fundamental for diagnosis and rescue of catheter dysfunction and has an integral role in the successful management of these patients in extending catheter function and permitting safe replacement of peritoneal catheter if it becomes necessary. Along with the undeniable advantages, remains the disadvantages that it must be carried out by an expert surgeon in an operating theatre while the patient is under general anaesthesia.  (+info)

In vitro comparison of the retention capacity of new aesthetic brackets. (2/1305)

Tensile bond strength and bond failure location were evaluated in vitro for two types of aesthetic brackets (non-silanated ceramic, polycarbonate) and one stainless steel bracket, using bovine teeth as the substrate and diacrylate resin as the adhesive. The results show that metallic bracket had the highest bond strength (13.21 N) followed by the new plastic bracket (12.01 N), which does not require the use of a primer. The non-silanated ceramic bracket produced the lowest bond strength (8.88 N). Bond failures occurred mainly between bracket and cement, although a small percentage occurred between the enamel-cement interface with the metal and plastic brackets and within the cement for the plastic bracket. With the ceramic bracket all the failures occurred at the bracket-cement interface. This suggests that the problems of enamel lesions produced by this type of bracket may have been eliminated. The results also show that the enamel/adhesive bond is stronger than the adhesive/bracket bond in this in vitro study.  (+info)

Autoclaving impairs the connector-tube bond of the laryngeal mask airway but not its airtightness. (3/1305)

The general-purpose laryngeal mask airway (LMA) is re-usable when undamaged, and cleaned and autoclaved correctly. We had found weakening of the silicone adhesive that bonds the connector of the LMA to the tube. We report that repeated autoclaving damaged the adhesive such that the connector could be rotated in the tube after the 12th autoclave cycle in almost all of the LMA tested. The damage to the adhesive did not affect the airtightness of the junction, which appears to be maintained by the material properties of the connector and tube and by the shape of the join.  (+info)

The prediction of failure of the stem in THR by measurement of early migration using EBRA-FCA. Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse-femoral component analysis. (4/1305)

We report the ten-year results for three designs of stem in 240 total hip replacements, for which subsidence had been measured on plain radiographs at regular intervals. Accurate migration patterns could be determined by the method of Einzel-Bild-Roentgen-Analyse-femoral component analysis (EBRA-FCA) for 158 hips (66%). Of these, 108 stems (68%) remained stable throughout, and five (3%) started to migrate after a median of 54 months. Initial migration of at least 1 mm was seen in 45 stems (29%) during the first two years, but these then became stable. We revised 17 stems for aseptic loosening, and 12 for other reasons. Revision for aseptic loosening could be predicted by EBRA-FCA with a sensitivity of 69%, a specificity of 80%, and an accuracy of 79% by the use of a threshold of subsidence of 1.5 mm during the first two years. Similar observations over a five-year period allowed the long-term outcome to be predicted with an accuracy of 91%. We discuss the importance of four different patterns of subsidence and confirm that the early measurement of migration by a reasonably accurate method can help to predict long-term outcome. Such methods should be used to evaluate new and modified designs of prosthesis.  (+info)

Injuries caused by falling soccer goalposts in Denmark. (5/1305)

OBJECTIVE: A falling soccer goalpost is associated with the potential risk of serious injury that can sometimes even be fatal. The aim of the study was to analyse the extent of the problem in Denmark and focus on the mechanism of injury and prevention. METHODS: Data were analysed for the period 1989-1997 from the European Home and Leisure Accident Surveillance System, which is an electronic register of the injuries seen in the casualty departments of the hospitals of five selected cities in Denmark representing 14% of the Danish population; in addition, fatal accidents in the whole of Denmark since 1981 were examined. Forty two injured persons were interviewed about the circumstances of the accident. Attempts were made to estimate the proportion of goalposts secured by counterweight in the five different regions, compared with the proportion secured with ground stakes and those that were unsecured, by analysing data from the largest producers of goalposts in Denmark. RESULTS: In the period 1981-1988, two fatal accidents were recorded. In the period 1989-1997, 117 people were injured by a falling goalpost; six of the injuries required hospitalisation. Some 88% of the injured were under the age of 15. In a telephone interview with 42 of the injured, 50% stated that the goalpost fell because someone was hanging on the crossbar. Comparing the five different regions with respect to the proportion of goalposts secured by counterweight and the number of accidents, the following relation was found. Areas in which a high percentage of the goalposts were secured by a counterweight correlated inversely with a high number of accidents (r = -0.9; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION: Soccer is a widely played sport and it is important to be aware that accidents caused by falling goalposts can occur and that they presumably can be prevented by proper use of goalposts, by using secure goalposts, and by securing old goalposts with a counterweight.  (+info)

Inappropriate shocks delivered by implantable cardiac defibrillators during oversensing of activity of diaphagmatic muscle. (6/1305)

Two cases are reported (both men, one 72 and one 54 years old) of inappropriate shocks delivered by an implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) device, which oversensed the myopotentials induced by deep breathing and Valsalva manoeuvre. No damage to leads was associated with the oversensing of myopotentials. The mechanism of the inappropriate shocks was determined using real time electrograms. Modification of the duration of ventricular detection and decrease in sensitivity made it possible to avoid the oversensing of myopotentials and to deliver ICD treatment.  (+info)

Contraceptive failure rates: new estimates from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth. (7/1305)

CONTEXT: Unintended pregnancy remains a major public health concern in the United States. Information on pregnancy rates among contraceptive users is needed to guide medical professionals' recommendations and individuals' choices of contraceptive methods. METHODS: Data were taken from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) and the 1994-1995 Abortion Patient Survey (APS). Hazards models were used to estimate method-specific contraceptive failure rates during the first six months and during the first year of contraceptive use for all U.S. women. In addition, rates were corrected to take into account the underreporting of induced abortion in the NSFG. Corrected 12-month failure rates were also estimated for subgroups of women by age, union status, poverty level, race or ethnicity, and religion. RESULTS: When contraceptive methods are ranked by effectiveness over the first 12 months of use (corrected for abortion underreporting), the implant and injectables have the lowest failure rates (2-3%), followed by the pill (8%), the diaphragm and the cervical cap (12%), the male condom (14%), periodic abstinence (21%), withdrawal (24%) and spermicides (26%). In general, failure rates are highest among cohabiting and other unmarried women, among those with an annual family income below 200% of the federal poverty level, among black and Hispanic women, among adolescents and among women in their 20s. For example, adolescent women who are not married but are cohabiting experience a failure rate of about 31% in the first year of contraceptive use, while the 12-month failure rate among married women aged 30 and older is only 7%. Black women have a contraceptive failure rate of about 19%, and this rate does not vary by family income; in contrast, overall 12-month rates are lower among Hispanic women (15%) and white women (10%), but vary by income, with poorer women having substantially greater failure rates than more affluent women. CONCLUSIONS: Levels of contraceptive failure vary widely by method, as well as by personal and background characteristics. Income's strong influence on contraceptive failure suggests that access barriers and the general disadvantage associated with poverty seriously impede effective contraceptive practice in the United States.  (+info)

Contraceptive failure, method-related discontinuation and resumption of use: results from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth. (8/1305)

CONTEXT: Half of all pregnancies in the United States are unintended. Of these, half occur to women who were practicing contraception in the month they conceived, and others occur when couples stop use because they find their method difficult or inconvenient to use. METHODS: Data from the 1995 National Survey of Family Growth were used to compute life-table probabilities of contraceptive failure for reversible methods of contraception, discontinuation of use for a method-related reason and resumption of contraceptive use. RESULTS: Within one year of starting to use a reversible method of contraception, 9% of women experience a contraceptive failure--7% of those using the pill, 9% of those relying on the male condom and 19% of those practicing withdrawal. During a lifetime of use of reversible methods, the typical woman will experience 1.8 contraceptive failures. Overall, 31% of women discontinue use of a reversible contraceptive for a method-related reason within six months of starting use, and 44% do so within 12 months; however, 68% resume use of a method within one month and 76% do so within three months. Multivariate analyses show that the risk of contraceptive failure is elevated among low-income women and Hispanic women. Low-income women are also less likely than other women to resume contraceptive use after discontinuation. CONCLUSIONS: The risks of pregnancy during typical use of reversible methods of contraception are considerably higher than risks of failure during clinical trials, reflecting imperfect use of these methods rather than lack of inherent efficacy. High rates of method-related discontinuation probably reflect dissatisfaction with available methods.  (+info)

On October 15, 2007, Medtronic voluntarily suspended distribution of the Sprint Fidelis lead due to growing concerns regarding an abnormally high fracture rate with 665 lead failures and 5 potential resultant deaths (12). Initial performance reports from Medtronic did not identify a statistically significant difference in lead survival compared with other lead models such as the Sprint Quattro, although the difference was projected to reach statistical significance if the failure rate remained constant. Recommendations regarding management included routine monitoring with adjustment of impedance alarm thresholds. Medtronic and its Independent Physician Quality Panel deemed the current failure rate of 2.3% at 30 months inadequate to justify prophylactic lead replacement, citing major complication rates of extraction between 1.4% and 7.3% (8,13-15).. Since this initial report, several groups have reported observations of higher failure rates (2,3,16). Krahn et al. (16) described a 3.91% failure ...

Fracture of a transvenous high-voltage ICD lead was first observed in the original CPI Endotak model in 1988.8 Patients who had this lead suffered multiple inappropriate shocks, and it was withdrawn from clinical trial. Since then, conductor fractures and insulation disruption have challenged engineers and physicians to develop improved designs and implant techniques. Progress has been made, but not without setbacks. The Medtronic Transvene lead, a coaxial polyurethane design introduced in 1993 and implanted in ,24 000 patients, exhibited both insulation degradation and conductor fractures; these failures typically appeared ≥4 years after implant and most commonly presented as inappropriate shocks.9 A mismatch between the terminal pin of the Boston Scientific Endotak DSP and the pulse generator connector header resulted in insulation and conductor defects when the pin punctured the lead; again, inappropriate shocks were the usual consequence. Surgical methods have contributed to lead failure, ...

Neuromuscular-incapacitating devices (NID) are being used increasingly worldwide by law-enforcement authorities to restrain violent behavior.1 Electrical noise-related, inappropriate detection by implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) has been documented.2,3 Detection of NID discharge by ICD has been described,4,5 but the effects of duration of NID discharge and ICD detection and therapy have not been established. The authors hypothesized that a longer duration of NID energy might lead to shocks from the defibrillator.4. With the approval of the animal care committee of our institution, we tested this hypothesis in a pig implanted with Medtronic 7275 GEM III DR ICD. The method used for performing the experiment in a pig model has been described previously.6 In the present study, we used subcutaneous insertion of the darts. Particular attention was given to ensure that the darts were in the subcutaneous tissue and not any deeper, to avoid any possibility of direct stimulation through the ...

Leads under advisory may vary considerably with regard to their potential for failure. The clinical implications of failure and timing of failure can be variable and different among patients. As a result, the management also can vary significantly, from close surveillance to a complex reoperation involving lead extraction. Analysis of the Accufix (Teletronics) pacing lead advisory showed a 10-fold increase in complications when leads were extracted compared with leaving the recalled lead in place.15 This observation showed that careful consideration must be used in the setting of an advisory before device replacement or lead extraction. Amin et al16 proposed a Markov decision-analysis model to compare risks and benefits for elective device replacement in devices under advisory. Their findings suggested that the main factor affecting whether a device should be removed is the estimated risk of device failure. In contrast, lead advisories represent an entirely distinct problem compared with device ...

When Device Failure Translates to Therapeutic Efficacy | Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions
Implantable devices, including valves, stents, occlusion devices, pacemakers, and debrillator systems, have become widespread and indispensable tools for cardiovascular therapy. Subjected as they are to the incessantly dynamic mechanical environment of a beating heart, a fundamental component of demonstrating safety, and one of the basic regulatory challenges, is testing to ensure their physical resilience and resistance to fatigue failure. Fracture of such devices in situ has traditionally been considered a mark of failure, not simply in the material sense, and although such failures are not always catastrophic, they are still cause for concern. With the introduction of ultra-noncompliant angioplasty balloons, it is now conceivable and feasible to impose intentional overload fracture of some vascular and valvar prostheses for therapeutic rather than for detrimental effect. The report by Chhatriwalla et al1 in the current issue of Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions adds to a growing ...

ECOST, a prospective multicentre clinical trial designed to examine the safety and effectiveness of remote monitoring of implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) patients with Biotronik Home Monitoring, demonstrates for the first time that daily remote monitoring with Biotronik Home Monitoring reduces inappropriate shocks and improves battery longevity in long-term follow-up (27 months) of patients with an ICD. The results were presented by Salem Kacet, principal investigator of the trial, at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2011 on 29 August 2011 in Paris, France.. Researchers analysed 433 patients who were randomly assigned to Home Monitoring follow-up or standard in-office care. Patients in the Home Monitoring group were scheduled for in-office follow-ups at yearly intervals.

Heart Rhythm 2014: Minimally Invasive Epicardial ICD Placement | Physicians WeeklyHeart Rhythm 2014: Minimally Invasive Epicardial ICD Placement | Physicians Weekly
The Particulars: Previous studies have suggested that the rates of implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) lead fractures are high among young patients. This patient population has also been found to be at risk for venous occlusion with transvenous ICD lead placement. A minimally invasive epicardial ICD placement may provide younger patients with a more desirable treatment alternative.. Data Breakdown: Investigators reviewed the charts of 22 children who underwent ICD placement using an epicardial pace/sense lead and a separate coil that was placed laterally-posterior to the pericardial sack through a 2 cm submammary incision-and tunneled the leads to an abdominal generator. All patients in the study had successful ICD implantations, and there were no deaths at 20 months follow-up. One patient required a right ventricle lead replacement. Another patient experienced an ICD generator failure but did not have problems with the lead or coil. Two other patients required drainage of a pleural ...

Out of 200,909 implants, 3,390 patients (1.7%) developed an ICD infection. The infection rate was 1.4%, 1.5%, and 2.0% for single, dual, and biventricular ICDs, respectively (p < 0.001). Generator replacement had a higher rate compared to initial implant (1.9% vs. 1.6%, p < 0.001). The factors associated with infection were adverse event during implant requiring reintervention (odds ratio [OR], 2.692; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.304-3.145), prior valvular surgery (OR, 1.525; 95% CI, 1.375-1.692), reimplantation for device upgrade, malfunction, or manufacturer advisory (OR, 1.354; 95% CI, 1.196-1.533), renal failure on dialysis (OR, 1.342; 95% CI, 1.123-1.604), chronic lung disease (OR, 1.215; 95% CI, 1.125-1.312), cerebrovascular disease (OR, 1.172; 95% CI, 1.076-1.276), and warfarin (OR, 1.155; 95% CI, 1.060-1.257).. ...

Potential benefits of remote follow-up of ICD patients: the EVATEL trial - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.comPotential benefits of remote follow-up of ICD patients: the EVATEL trial - Healthcanal.com : Healthcanal.com
Currently, explains investigator Dr Philippe Mabo form the University Hospital of Rennes, France, regular in-clinic follow-up must be performed every three months, according to manufacturer guidelines. But there are two drawbacks to the in-clinic follow-up - theyre time-constrained for both the patient and the clinic, and theres no link between the time of the appointment and the clinical event or device malfunction. So theres a clinical need to consider new follow-up strategy.. In response, several manufacturers have developed new technologies which allow the remote transmission of information from the device and on its therapeutic effect. Critical data can be transmitted at any time on system integrity or unexpected events - for example, lead integrity, battery status or ineffectively delivered therapy. Data stored in the device are transmitted by phone from the patients home to the implant centre, with website access to the data.. In this context, said Dr Mabo, remote device ...

Brody Davis - WikipediaBrody Davis - Wikipedia
Brody Davis is a fictional character created by Jason Katims for the 1999-2002 American science fiction television series Roswell. He is portrayed by actor Desmond Askew. Davis is a millionaire who takes over ownership of the UFO Center where Max Evans works. On a number of occasions, he claims to have been abducted by aliens. He tells Maria DeLuca that, in essence, his mind would go blank and he would awaken a few days later lacking knowledge of where he had been or what he had been doing. In reality, his body was being used as a vessel by aliens to come to Earth. He later tries to develop a device that will open a part of his brain that he believes contains memories of where he had been taken. This device malfunctions and the resulting shock reveals previously unknown memories to him, which leaves him confused and afraid. After this happens, he takes Max Evans, Tess Harding, Liz Parker, Maria, her mother and her cousin hostage. Max is able to heal the damage to part of Brodys brain using ...

A system and method are provided for detecting dislodgment of a right atrial endocardial lead implanted within a heart right atrium wherein the lead includes an electrode. Atrial and ventricular activity of the heart are sensed with one other lead during a time period. Also during the time period, heart activity is sensed with the endocardial lead electrode. The sensed heart activity is stored in memory. The stored heart activity sensed with the one other lead is analyzed to establish a first time window from the sensed atrial heart activity and a second time window from the sensed ventricular activity. The heart activity sensed with the endocardial lead electrode during the first time window is then compared to the heart activity sensed with the endocardial lead electrode during the second time window.

ICD are now a major focus of DOJ investigations
HC,. Point taken. The scourge of predatory medicine is a black mark for all doctors, whether it is spinal fusions, coronary stents, or even cardiac devices. I have been a long-standing, outspoken advocate for applying clinical judgment in the use of ICDs. Even before I read this important, but infrequently cited Josephson piece, I was mindful of the limitations of ICD, and the flaws of the prophylactic ICD trials. I was on the front lines of the first recalls, and I am still living with the Sprint Fidelis debacle. My wife is a palliative care doctor, so I understand the concept of all-cause mortality versus arrhythmic-mortality. The unfairness of life though, is that swinging pendulums whack everybody-even those that apply (and have applied) critical thinking. Perhaps, the present-day intrusions into the doctor-patient relationship are getting to me. As Malcolm Gladwell writes about in his recent book What the Dog Saw, the outlier, egregious (Midei-like) cases dont follow a predictable ...
