Introduction: Vaginal sacrospinous fixation and sacrospinous hysteropexy (SSF/SSHP) are highly effective procedures for apical compartment prolapse. The established technique is the posterior vaginal approach. The alternative anterior approach through an anterior vaginal incision, although occasionally mentioned in the literature, is less well established. However, this approach is a more appropriate route if posterior vaginal surgery is not indicated. The aim of this paper is to review surgical outcomes of anterior approach in our centre and to compare outcomes of SSF vs SSHP. Methods: Retrospective case note review of 60 patients who underwent anterior SSF for prolapse between 2009-2017 was performed. Preoperative and postoperative symptoms and findings were recorded. Anterior SSF involved an anterior vaginal incision and paravaginal access to the ligament for dissection and fixation to either the cervix or vault. Results: SSF was performed in 39 patients, out of which 8 underwent vaginal hysterectomy concomitantly. SSHP for uterine prolapse was performed in 21 patients. There were no cases of recurrent apical prolapse in the cohort at mean follow-up of 1 year. No intra-operative visceral injuries were observed. Recurrence of anterior wall prolapse and postoperative voiding dysfunction was observed in 8.3% and short-term buttock pain in 6.6% of patients. Conclusion: Anterior approach SSF and SSHP is a safe and effective technique for apical prolapse and is the recommended route when posterior vaginal surgery is not required.

Diagnosis of non-specific aorto-arteritis (NSAA, Takaysu's arteritis) is typically based on clinical and investigational parameters. We report here about two patients with clinically suspected diagnosis of a Takayasu's arteritis already under anti-inflammatory therapy in whom percutaneous transluminal atherectomy of subclavian and axillary artery stenoses was performed to relief the patients from symptoms – intermittent dyspraxia of the arms – and to verify the clinical diagnosis by histology. In the first case aorto-arteritis could be histologically confirmed through the analysis of plaque material including media structures excised from the subclavian and axillary arteries using a new device for atherectomy. The biopsy showed diffuse inflammation and granulomatous lesions with giant cells typically for Takayasu's disease. In the second patient, biopsy showed no acute or chronic inflammatory signs but only atherosclerotic lesions. Percutaneous transluminal atherectomy is therefore not only an interventional but also a diagnostic tool and should be used in every case of interventional therapy of suspected aorto-arteritis to make the clinical diagnosis and as a major consequence the initiation of an aggressive anti-inflammatory medical therapy more reliable.

On The Road

Abstract The interfacial phenomena between tread rubber compounds and rough surfaces are responsible for most of the behavior of a tire on the road. A new device was developed for the investigation of these phenomena in the laboratory. The device consists of a fully instrumented road wheel on which a simple geometry specimen is driven. The possibilities offered by this device are to perform tests at constant slip or at constant torque on both wet and dry surfaces, with complex cycles. The machine allows the measurement of slip, tangential forces, and temperature on the specimen, and computer software adds the possibility of applying Fourier analyses on force, road wheel speed, and specimen speed data. Other possibilities offered by the road wheel are to change the road surface, the load on the specimen, and the water rate. The description of a complete experiment is detailed in the paper showing the correlation of data with actual tire performances.
