Atherosclerotic Process

Проблема профилактики и диагностики стеноза - окклюзирования шунтов после аорто - коронарного шунтирования в отдаленном периоде остается нерешенной. Наиболее часто закрываются шунты в течение первого года, возникновение окклюзии венозных шунтов в течение первого года после операции наблюдаются у 25-30% больных, в дальнейшем в течении 5-7 лет частота окклюзии составляет около 2% в год, после этого срока 5% в год. Артериальные шунты остаются проходимы до 98%, и в основном причиной их дисфункции является прогрессирование атеросклеротического процесса и технические погрешности. Основными причинами которые могут привести к нарушению функции шунта в отдаленном периоде считают [1, 2, 4, 6, 8] следующие: 1-техническое (повреждение эндотелиального слоя и стенки аутовенозного трансплантата при его взятии (ретроспективный анализ), чрезмерная длина и перегиб шунта (на шунтографии), натяжение шунта из-за недостаточной его длины, неправильный выбор места наложения дистального анастомоза) [11,12,13]. 2- анатомические факторы[3, 5, 7] . 3 - общие факторы (низкая объемная скорость кровотока по шунту, нестабильность общей гемодинамики, массивные сращения в полости перикарда, гиперкоагуляция, гнойный медиастинит, длительное лихорадочное состояние и неадекватный прием антикоагулянтов. 4 - прогрессирование атеросклероза [9]. 5- использование венозных трансплантантов как одна из важных причин стеноза - окклюзии шунта [10]. The Problem of stenosis prevention and diagnostics - occlusion of shunts after aorto-coronary bypass in long term remains unaddressed. Typically, shunts are closed within the first year, emergence of phleboid shunts occlusion within the first year after surgical intervention is observed in 25-30% of patients, and further frequency of occlusion within 5-7 years is about 2% per year, 5% per year after this term. Arterial shunts is passable up to 98%, and mainly the reason for their dysfunction is the atherosclerotic process progression and technical faults. The main reasons which can results in shunt dysfunction in long term are the following [1, 2, 4, 6, 8]: 1-technical (damage of endothelial layer and paries of autovenous transplant during its drawing (retrospective analysis), excess length and shunt bend (at the shuntography), shunt tension because of its insufficient length, improper location of distal anastomosis application) [11,12,13]. 2- anatomical factors [3, 5, 7] . 3 - general factors (low volumetric blood flow along the shunt, instability of general hemodynamics, dense adhesion in pericardial cavity, hypercoagulability, purulent mediastinitis, prolonged febrile state and inadequate intake of anticoagulants. 4 - atherosclerosis prgression [9]. 5- using venous transplants as one of the important reasons of stenosis - shunt occlusion [10].

Aim - to analyze afterhistory of TB patients who had radical lung resection. Methods of research. On the basis of the results of surgical treatment of 273 patients in 2010-2011, two groups were formed: the first group - patients who were deregistered due to their recovery; the second group -patients who had tuberculous process reactivated after surgery as recurrence or acute condition. Results. The effectiveness of tuberculosis surgical treatment in long-term period was proved in more than 90% of cases. Reactivation process started in 7.7% of cases, in patients who had multiple and extensive drug resistant MTB (53.3%), in patients who had destruction in the lung tissue (62%); in patients with fibrous-cavernous tuberculosis (33.3%), with comorbidity (52.4%), with complications in the early postoperative period (9.5%). Reactivation occurred more often in cases of wide surgical intervention, including cases with follow-up remedial thoracoplasty. If there are indications for surgical treatment, it is better to decide upon surgery within the first year of supervision.

OBJECTIVEThe authors evaluated the long-term outcome of their treatment protocol for Muenke syndrome, which includes a single craniofacial procedure.METHODSThis was a prospective observational cohort study of Muenke syndrome patients who underwent surgery for craniosynostosis within the first year of life. Symptoms and determinants of intracranial hypertension were evaluated by longitudinal monitoring of the presence of papilledema (fundoscopy), obstructive sleep apnea (OSA; with polysomnography), cerebellar tonsillar herniation (MRI studies), ventricular size (MRI and CT studies), and skull growth (occipital frontal head circumference [OFC]). Other evaluated factors included hearing, speech, and ophthalmological outcomes.RESULTSThe study included 38 patients; 36 patients underwent fronto-supraorbital advancement. The median age at last follow-up was 13.2 years (range 1.3–24.4 years). Three patients had papilledema, which was related to ophthalmological disorders in 2 patients. Three patients had mild OSA. Three patients had a Chiari I malformation, and tonsillar descent < 5 mm was present in 6 patients. Tonsillar position was unrelated to papilledema, ventricular size, or restricted skull growth. Ten patients had ventriculomegaly, and the OFC growth curve deflected in 3 patients. Twenty-two patients had hearing loss. Refraction anomalies were diagnosed in 14/15 patients measured at ≥ 8 years of age.CONCLUSIONSPatients with Muenke syndrome treated with a single fronto-supraorbital advancement in their first year of life rarely develop signs of intracranial hypertension, in accordance with the very low prevalence of its causative factors (OSA, hydrocephalus, and restricted skull growth). This illustrates that there is no need for a routine second craniofacial procedure. Patient follow-up should focus on visual assessment and speech and hearing outcomes.

Social Consideration

There is a culture of disengagement from social consideration in engineering disciplines. This means that first year engineering students, who arrive planning to change the world through engineering, lose this passion as they progress through the engineering curriculum. The community driven technology innovation and investment program described in this paper is an attempt to reverse this trend by fusing community engagement with the normal engineering design process. This approach differs from existing project or trip based approaches – outreach – because the focus is on local communities with which the university team forms a long-term partnership through weekly in-person meetings and community driven problem statements – engagement.

Sound Processor

Background: The cochlear implant (CI) is a standard procedure for the treatment of patients with severe to profound hearing loss. In the past, a standard healing period of 3–6 weeks occurred after CI surgery before the sound processor was initially activated. Advancements of surgical techniques and instruments allow an earlier initial activation of the processor within 14 days after surgery. Objective: Evaluation of the early CI device activation after CI surgery within 14 days, comparison to the first activation after 4–6 weeks, and assessment of the feasibility and safety of the early fitting over a 12 month observation period were the objectives of this study. Method: In a prospective study, 127 patients scheduled for CI surgery were divided into early fitting group (EF, n = 67) and control group (CG, n = 60). Individual questionnaires were used to evaluate medical and technical outcomes of the EF. Medical side effects, speech recognition, and follow-up effort were compared with the CG within the first year after CI surgery. Results: The early fitting was feasible in 97% of the EF patients. In the EF, the processor was activated 25 days earlier than in the CG. No major complications were observed in either group. At the follow-up appointments, side effects such as pain and balance problems occurred with comparable frequency in both groups. At initial fitting, the EF showed a significantly higher incidence of medical minor complications (p < 0.05). When developing speech recognition within the first year of CI use, no difference was observed. Furthermore, the follow-up effort within the first year after CI surgery was comparable in both groups. Conclusions: Early fitting of the sound processor is a feasible and safe procedure with comparable follow-up effort. Although more early minor complications were observed in the EF, there were no long-term wound healing problems caused by the early fitting. Regular inspection of the magnet strength is recommended as part of the CI follow-up since postoperative wound swelling must be expected. The early fitting procedure enabled a clear reduction in the waiting time between CI surgery and initial sound processor activation.

Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents a major health concern affecting the neuropsychological health; TBI is accompanied by drastic long-term adverse complications that can influence many aspects of the life of affected individuals. A substantial number of studies have shown that mood disorders, particularly depression, are the most frequent complications encountered in individuals with TBI. Post-traumatic depression (P-TD) is present in approximately 30% of individuals with TBI, with the majority of individuals experiencing symptoms of depression during the first year following head injury. To date, the mechanisms of P-TD are far from being fully understood, and effective treatments that completely halt this condition are still lacking. The aim of this review is to outline the current state of knowledge on the prevalence and risk factors of P-TD, to discuss the accompanying brain changes at the anatomical, molecular and functional levels, and to discuss current approaches used for the treatment of P-TD.

Cystine Stones

Introduction: Cystine stone development is relatively uncommon among patients with urolithiasis, and most studies have reported only on small sample sizes and short follow-up periods. We evaluated clinical courses and treatment outcomes of patients with cystine stones with long-term follow-up at our center. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 22 patients diagnosed with cystine stones between January 1989 and May 2019. Results: The median follow-up was 160 (range 6–340) months, and the median patient age at diagnosis was 46 (range 12–82) years. All patients underwent surgical interventions at the first visit (4 extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy, 5 ureteroscopy, and 13 percutaneous nephrolithotripsy). The median number of stone events and surgical interventions per year was 0.45 (range 0–2.6) and 0.19 (range 0–1.3) after initial surgical intervention. The median time to stone events and surgical intervention was 2 years and 3.25 years, respectively. There was a significant difference in time to stone events and second surgical intervention when patients were divided at 50 years of age at diagnosis (p = 0.02, 0.04, respectively). Conclusions: Only age at a diagnosis under 50 was significantly associated with recurrent stone events and intervention. Adequate follow-up and treatment are needed to manage patients with cystine stones safely.

Abstract Context Some medical schools integrate STOP THE BLEED® training into their curricula to teach students how to identify and stop life threatening bleeds; these classes that are taught as single day didactic and hands-on training sessions without posttraining reviews. To improve retention and confidence in hemorrhage control, additional review opportunities are necessary. Objectives To investigate whether intermittent STOP THE BLEED® reviews were effective for long term retention of hemorrhage control skills and improving perceived confidence. Methods First year osteopathic medical students were asked to complete an eight item survey (five Likert scale and three quiz format questions) before (pretraining) and after (posttraining) completing a STOP THE BLEED® training session. After the surveys were collected, students were randomly assigned to one of two study groups. Over a 12 week intervention period, each group watched a 4 min STOP THE BLEED® review video (intervention group) or a “distractor” video (control group) at 4 week intervals. After the 12 weeks, the students were asked to complete an 11 item survey. Results Scores on the posttraining survey were higher than the pretraining survey. The median score on the five Likert scale items was 23 points for the posttraining survey and 14 points for the pretraining survey. Two of the three knowledge based quiz format questions significantly improved from pretraining to posttraining (both p<0.001). On the 11 item postintervention survey, both groups performed similarly on the three quiz questions (all p>0.18), but the intervention group had much higher scores on the Likert scale items than the control group regarding their confidence in their ability to identify and control bleeding (intervention group median = 21.4 points vs. control group median = 16.8 points). Conclusions Intermittent review videos for STOP THE BLEED® training improved medical students’ confidence in their hemorrhage control skills, but the videos did not improve their ability to correctly answer quiz-format questions compared with the control group.
