The Mean

Thirty-six patients with persistent tracheocutaneous fistula (TCF) after pediatric tracheotomy were managed at Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago between June 1987 and July 1992. Persistent TCF was managed with surgical excision and primary closure. The mean patient age was 5 years 7 months, and the mean duration between decannulation and fistula closure was 21 months. There were no major complications and four minor complications. While most surgeons advocate other techniques, we feel that excision with primary closure is the preferred method for persistent TCF. The technique requires an airtight tracheal closure with loose closure of the peristomal soft tissue. Careful preoperative evaluation, postoperative monitoring, and wound drainage are stressed.

Lacrimal Drainage

AbstractEyelid trauma occurs across a broad spectrum of pathology, ranging from simple periorbital lacerations to severe, vision-threatening injuries requiring expert oculoplastic consultation. Any injury, no matter how benign, is also inherently cosmetically sensitive, further adding to the reconstructive challenge. In this review, we discuss the anatomy of the eyelid and develop an understanding of evaluating for signs of more serious, potentially occult, trauma. A framework is developed for approaching the patient with periorbital trauma to assess for injury and triage necessary treatments. Damage to the lacrimal drainage system, which can be particularly difficult to detect and repair, is specifically emphasized and explored.

We are approaching the invasiveness of cancer cells from the studies of their wet surface morphology which should distinguish them from their normal counterparts. In this report attempts have been made to provide physical basis and background work to a wet replication method with a differentially pumped hydration chamber (Fig. 1) (1,2), to apply this knowledge for obtaining replica of some specimens of known features (e.g. polystyrene latex) and finally to realize more specific problems and to improvize new methods and instrumentation for their rectification. In principle, the evaporant molecules penetrate through a pair of apertures (250, 350μ), through water vapors and is, then, deposited on the specimen. An intermediate chamber between the apertures is pumped independently of the high vacuum system. The size of the apertures is sufficiently small so that full saturated water vapor pressure is maintained near the specimen.
