Abstract:. Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS), is something whose mere mention implies different things to different people. It is a syndrome immersed in stereotypes by the North American society in which we live, the majority of which are sadly negative. In the paper that follows, though written from a North American perspective, I will refrain from examining the specifics of these stereotypes, for to acknowledge them would only give them attention that I do not believe that they deserve in the context of this article.. This paper is about FAS and the way we, as a North American society, educate people about its known, and possible, causes. The paper is split into six sections. It begins by looking at a history of the discovery of FAS and Fetal Alcohol Effects, (FAE) and goes on to define each to avoid confusion within the paper. Having dealt with descriptions of FAS/FAE, it briefly examines four articles that offer a contrasting view to that of the mother being soley responsible for a child with ...

An expert consensus document from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI). Numerous definitions have been proposed for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) after coronary revascularization. The universal definition for MI designates post-procedural biomarker thresholds for defining percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)‐related MI (type 4a) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)‐related MI (type 5) which are of uncertain prognostic importance. In addition, for both MI types cTn is recommended as the biomarker of choice, the prognostic significance of which is less well validated than CK‐MB. Widespread adoption of a MI definition not clearly linked to subsequent adverse events such as mortality or heart failure may have serious consequences for the appropriate assessment of devices and therapies, may affect clinical care pathways, and may result in misinterpretation of physician competence. Rather than employing an MI definition sensitive for small ...

With the growing interest of cardiovascular computed tomography around the world, international membership in the Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) has been increasing annually. As the number of SCCT members in a particular country or region grow to a certain size, it becomes feasible for those members to be able to establish an International Regional Committee (IRC) of SCCT. The Board of Directors recognizes this and actively encourages the formation of International Regional Committees for the mutual benefit for the local members in those regions and SCCT. IRCs are committees set up to promote cardiovascular CT and the objectives of SCCT in a certain region.. Australia/New Zealand (ANZ) IRC. Brazil IRC. Canada IRC. China IRC. Europe IRC. India IRC. Israel IRC. Japan IRC. Korea IRC. Latin America IRC. Middle East IRC. Taiwan IRC. UK IRC.

Is this stent necessary? Is this angioplasty inappropriate? Is this cardiologist uncertain if the procedure will help? Ever since the Appropriate Use Criteria for Coronary Revascularization were published, the three category labels of appropriate, uncertain, and inappropriate have confused the profession, press and population at large. The issue of definitions had still not been addressed in the most recent update of the AUC.. So (drumroll, please) yesterday, new categories were approved by the ACC Appropriateness Use Criteria Working Group. The new terminology will be Appropriate, May Be Appropriate(which replaces Uncertain), and Rarely Appropriate (which replaces Inappropriate).. I have written about this a number of times, most recently last December in my post, A Stent By Any Other Name, in which I called for a change:. My recommendation is that a committee be organized to rework the terminology used in the guidelines - a kind of guidelines for the guidelines committee. ...

The wide-spread use of drug-eluting stents (DES) has evolved as standard of care in de novo lesions. The PROMUS Element Plus Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System is indicated for improving luminal diameter in patients with symptomatic heart disease or documented silent ischemia due to de novo lesions in native coronary arteries ≥2.25 mm to ≤4.00 mm in diameter in lesions ≤34 mm in length. The proposed study will compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the PROMUS Element Plus Everolimus-Eluting Platinum Chromium Coronary Stent System in routine clinical practice.. Patients enrolled in this study are expected to follow antiplatelet therapy recommendations per American College of Cardiology (ACC)/American Heart Association (AHA)/Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) guidelines for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Recommended medications include aspirin, which should be taken for 3 days prior to the procedure or as a ...

At first, the US governments plan to bundle Medicare payments related to MI care and bypass surgery was met with what seemed like lukewarm curiosity. But now it seems the muted reaction could be blamed on procrastination. Fully 175 responses-among them a detailed letter by the American College of Cardiology (ACC)-made it into the Federal Register before the close of public comment on October 3.. The proposal was announced by the Department of Health & Human Services in July and, as reported by TCTMD, only eight individuals had commented by late September.. In addition to the ACC, the full list of respondents includes other cardiology-related professional groups such as the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Heart Rhythm Society, American Heart Association, and Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. Closely related subspecialties such as the American Geriatrics Society, American Telemedicine Association, and American Association of Nurse Practitioners also weighed in. Other ...

In this trial, criteria defining SAHF were inclusive of nearly every heart failure risk factor. Whereas this heterogeneity may have confounded results, as patients with different risk factors may progress to SBHF at different rates, a positive outcome would have been remarkably generalizable. It would also support revision of the appropriate use criteria for echocardiography, which currently do not consider screening to be indicated in most circumstances (4). There may also have been positive implications for health care costs, though it is unclear whether the added costs of screening and treatment would offset cost savings from delayed disease progression.. In excluding patients with pre-existing SBHF, Yang et al. (3) assigned a conservative cutoff of LVEF (,40%) as abnormal. Patients with mid-range EF (40% to 53%) without diastolic dysfunction or abnormal GLS were not considered to have SBHF. Whereas this may be controversial, it is not unreasonable; treatment of mid-rage EF has not shown ...

Greetings from Dallas, Texas, where the springtimes warmth and emerging colors are upon us. This has been a wonderful year to be a part of the SRS team, as the Societys productivity has never been greater.. Much has happened since our last newsletter in December. We held a productive Board of Directors (BOD) meeting during the February 2012 American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS) Annual Meeting in San Francisco, California, USA. From the committee reports delivered, our 33 committees and ten taskforces are hard at work completing their numerous charges.

The clinical utility of PET and PET/CT scanning as surveillance in asymptomatic patients or patients with chronic stable symptoms to detect disease recurrence is not well studied. Routine surveillance with PET and PET/CT scans in asymptomatic patients has not been shown to improve survival, provide better quality of life or impact the ability to palliate recurrent disease (make cancer or its symptoms less severe or unpleasant) and is therefore not recommended. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) clinical practice guidelines (Treatment of Cancer by Site) and NCCN Imaging Appropriate Use Criteria for various malignancies often note that PET and PET/CT scans are not recommended in asymptomatic individuals. Also, ASCO Choosing Wisely statement issued for providers includes until high level evidence demonstrates that routine surveillance with PET or PET/CT scans helps prolong life or promote well-being after treatment for a specific type of cancer, this practice should not be done.

University Hospital Lausanne, CHUV. Since the mid-nineties, my interest focus on CMR, both with regard to clinical application of CMR and research. After a fellowship in the United States at UC San Francisco in 1995-1997, I launched a CMR clinical service at the University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland. In the early 2000, I could lead some large multicenter trials on perfusion-CMR pathing the way with other large studies to its clinical implementation. My research then focused also on cost-effectiveness of perfusion-CMR and as a founding member of the European CMR registry, we could start to evaluate the performance of perfusion-CMR and other CMR applications in a large multinational setting. In this period, I started to support CMR also by activities in many societies, e.g. be chairing the working group CMR of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), by memberships in many ESC committees, and also as board member of the SCMR and board member of the Swiss Society of Cardiology. In 2009, in a ...

Several months later, in early March of 1982, I attended a meeting of the Aspen Retinal Detachment Society with Dr. Levit and Dr. Verne. The three of us, along with our wives, had an intimate dinner at Poppys Restaurant in Aspen. I discussed Esters idea of forming a new subspecialty society. Everyone at the dinner table enthusiastically applauded the concept.. Fortunately, Roy Levit took prompt action. Immediately after he returned to El Paso, he asked an attorney to incorporate the Vitreous Society as a non-profit organization in his home state. Simultaneously, Allen Verne attacked the process of designing and printing membership certificates. The executive offices of the society were located in Toledo, Ohio, where I maintained my vitreoretinal practice.. With great trepidation, I configured a letter to the invited charter members. After all, we were starting a new professional organization without the sanction, of senior physicians in our field, and we were apprehensive about the way it ...

An analysis of clinical practice guidelines archived on the National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC) website as of June 2011 demonstrated poor compliance with Institute of Medicine (IOM) standards, with little if any improvement over the past 2 decades, say authors of an article published this month in Archives of Medicine. For the study, 2 reviewers independently screened 130 guidelines selected at random from NGCs website for compliance with 18 of 25 IOM standards.. The overall median number of IOM standards satisfied (out of 18) was 8 (44.4%). Fewer than half of the guidelines surveyed met more than 50% of IOM standards. Barely a third of the guidelines produced by subspecialty societies satisfied more than 50% of the IOM standards surveyed. Information on conflicts of interest was given in fewer than half of the guidelines surveyed. Non-English literature, unpublished data, and/or abstracts were rarely considered in developing guidelines. Differences of opinion among committee members ...

This is the third in a series of papers using identical methodology to evaluate adherence to AUC for SPECT imaging in a single institution. The first publication dealt with patients from 2005 and demonstrated a substantial (14.4%) prevalence of inappropriate studies and furthermore identified four separate indications accounting for 88% of inappropriate studies including asymptomatic low-risk patients, which accounted for almost 50% of the inappropriate studies. A follow-up after publication of the AUC in 2006 demonstrated a significant decrease to 7.0% of inappropriate studies. The authors, at that time, engaged in a quality improvement project including grand rounds, publication of one page synopses of these studies, and other intramural educational activities designed to educate the referring physician base, and presumably further decrease the incidence of inappropriate studies. These educational and information sessions occurred predominantly in January 2008, and a third cohort of patients ...

Excessive tearing, also known as epiphora, is a very common condition that can truly affect patients adversely. While tearing might seem fairly trivial, tears welling up on your eyes can blur vision, interfere with driving, create socially awkward situations, and flow down the cheeks onto books or magazines. The constant dabbing that patients often engage in can also lead to skin irritation, while the chronic wet skin can lead to fungal infections.. Tearing can be caused either by excessive tear production, or alternatively by poor outflow of tears through the tear drainage system. A little known fact is that tears, once they wash over our eyes, are actively collected by plumbing and pumping system and pushed into the nose and pharynx (where they get swallowed). Thats why our nose runs when we cry, and why our throat gets irritated when we have eye allergies.. Treatment of epiphora needs to address the underlying cause of the tearing. Are you tearing because your eyes are actually excessively ...

Although the exercise test was performed after diagnostic catheterisation after an interval of more than three days, non-specific effects of catheterisation and contrast medium might modify postexercise diastolic function. However, the interval between the diagnostic catheterisation and exercise test did not differ significantly among the groups (table 1). Thus the postexercise diastolic dysfunction in group 1 could not be attributed to the effect of catheterisation.. We performed echocardiography serially over a seven day period after exercise. Therefore it is possible that postexercise changes in Doppler indices in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were a result of measurement errors or day to day variability. However, the mitral flow velocity profile was unchanged throughout the study in the normal subjects and in the dilated cardiomyopathy patients in group 2. Thus day to day variability of Doppler measurements were minimal. Bias related to echocardiographic analysis was also excluded, as ...

Weight loss. The entirety of North American society is grappling with weight loss. With diet. With exercise. With staying at a healthy weight.. But believe it or not, people with brain injuries struggle even more than the typical North American. We struggle more because we may no longer be able to perceive that ones stomach is painfully full as long as there is still food on the plate. We struggle more because doctors dont acknowledge that mental work may preclude exercise. We struggle more because our metabolism has changed, is no longer the one we know, have lived with our whole lives - and again the doctors dont even notice the change and thus cannot help.. And so when we suffer a brain injury, we have huge fatigue and understandably feel great pain and stress as a result and suddenly begin (or if did it before, increase greatly) ravenous emotional eating because our usual ways of coping with stress are gone, vamoosed with the injury. I used to read, to lose myself in a book, when ...
