Vidian Neurectomy

Background Vidian neurectomy was an option for treating allergic rhinitis in the past but outcomes varied. A modified transsphenoidal approach is proposed to simplify endoscopic vidian neurectomy. The postoperative evaluation of rhinorrhea, sneezing, and recurrence was investigated. Methods A total of 317 patients with refractory allergic rhinitis underwent 414 transsphenoidal vidian neurectomies from September 2006 to December 2010. A rigid nasal endoscope was used through a transsphenoidal approach to reach the vidian canal inside the sphenoid sinus (type I) or through its anterior opening into the pterygopalatine fossa (type II) and to cut or cauterize the vidian nerve. The surgical outcomes were analyzed for patients with at least 6 months of follow-up. Results Our approach was successful in 90.3% of the 414 vidian neurectomies. Vidian neurectomy was successful via the type I approach in 27 sides and type II approach in 347 sides. The short-term surgical outcomes of 163 patients who underwent a total of 236 vidian neurectomies with at least 6 months of follow-up were analyzed. Immediate, complete cessation of sneezing and rhinorrhea occurred uniformly. Three recurrences were detected during the 1–2 years of follow-up. The symptom of dry eye was reported for 172 surgical sides, but only 6 had persistent symptoms for > 6 months. Conclusion The transsphenoidal approach in a vidian neurectomy is a simple method that removes the need for sphenopalatine artery ligation and causes less surgical morbidity. However, the possibility of recurrence of this condition in the long term needs further investigation.

Nasal airway resistance (NAR) was assessed from the slope of pressure-flow curves obtained during normal nasal breathing. Volunteers were classified as atopic or nonatopic according to strict criteria. 100 ppm NH3 was introduced into each nostril for periods ranging from 5 to 30 seconds with frequent NAR monitoring. A progressive increase in NAR responses was obtained with incremental NH3 exposures, but no significant difference was noted between the mean response of atopic and nonatopic subjects. Control exposures to compressed air under the same pressure generally produced only a small change in NAR, while aerosolized buffered saline increased NAR more than compressed air. The nasal response to NH3 was effectively inhibited by intranasal atropine administration but not by chlorpheniramine. The described procedure provides a safe and simple method for studying semiquantitatively the short-term effects of inhaled irritants on the nose.

Effective Life

A group of young wethers consuming a zinc-deficient diet (3.8 pg Zn g-1) had a 10 g zinc pellet inserted in their rumens. The pellet maintained plasma and wool zinc concentrations and plasma alkaline phosphatase activities for 7, 8.5 and > 10 weeks respectively, at levels equal to those of another group on a similar diet supplemented with 16 pg Zn g-1. The amount of zinc in faeces indicated that the pellets initially released 15 mg Zn day-1 and that after 7 weeks, when only 3 mg Zn day-1 was being released, the effective life of the pellet was finished. The pellet offers a simple method for testing the existence of zinc-responsive conditions in the field and would be adequate to overcome short-term deficiency caused by seasonal conditions or pregnancy. A third group of wethers on the deficient diet alone, showed a decline in plasma zinc from 0.7 �g Zn ml-1 to 0.25 �g ml-1 in 3 weeks, and both plasma alkaline phosphatase activities and wool zinc concentrations were lower than in the other groups after 7 weeks.

Abstract Rutting occurs due to accumulation of incrementally small permanent deformations from each load application and it can cause irreparable problems in pavements. On the other hand, the Marshall Mix design which is known as the main method in Iran, the lack of a simple test to determine specimen resistance to permanent deformation as the major reason for asphalt rutting is noticeable. Although today many devices are used for rutting measurement, none of them have the ability to use in wider field. In addition, prevalent methods of evaluating rutting potential are usually costly and time consuming. Mentioned parameters illustrate the necessity of developing a simple method, not only having fine precision, but also are able to predict rutting performance with low cost in the short term in laboratory. In this research, after performing the main tests on specimens, IDT test results and Marshall Parameters were used to develop a mathematical model to estimate specimen rut depth. The model is validated by using ANN and makes it possible to evaluate mixtures rutting potential while OBC is being determined in laboratory. So not only is there no need to use expensive instruments of rutting test, but also a remarkable time saving in mix design procedure is achievable.

Abstract Background The brain is a productive source of a variety of enzymes and any brain injury like a stroke to brain tissue could similarly result in an increase in these enzymes in cerebrospinal fluid and serum. Evaluation of these enzymes represents a simple method for the ischemic stroke subtype diagnosis and prognosis. Objective: This study aimed to determine the role of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), d-dimer, creatine–kinase-MB (CK-MB), C-reactive protein (CRP) serum levels, and globulin/albumin ratio in the diagnosis of CES stroke and its ability to predict short-term outcome. Methods This study was conducted on 96 patients with acute ischemic stroke, subdivided into two groups: group Ι was 48 patients with cardio-embolic stroke and group ΙΙ was 48 patients with non-cardio-embolic. All patients were subjected to the assessment of serum BNP, d-dimer and CK-MB, and CRP and globulin/albumin ratio within the first 24 h of stroke. In the third week, they were assessed by mRS. Results The mean levels of BNP, d-dimer level, and CK-MB were significantly higher in patients with cardio-embolic stroke than in patients with non-cardio-embolic stroke (P < 0.001) and also were associated with poor short-term outcome. Conclusion Elevated plasma levels of BNP, d-dimer levels, and CK-MB can be used as surrogate biomarkers for the diagnosis of cardio-embolic stroke and prediction of poor short-term outcomes.
