Effect of low-dose methyl prednisolone on serum cytokine levels following extracorporeal circulation
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Arnold Hodder Headline Plc., 1999)The systemic inflammatory response to cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is associated with increased production of cytokines. This systemic inflammatory response characterized by the activation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) during and after CPB is well documented. A prospective randomized double-blind study was performed so as to understand the effects of low-dose methyl prednisolone sodium succinate (MPSS) on the circulating levels of serum cytokines and clinical outcome. Twenty ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Mosby-Elsevier, 2000)OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to study the appearance and distribution of connexins 43 and 26 in various human myometrial cell cultures. STUDY DESIGN: Scrape loading Western blotting and immunohistochemical techniques were applied to cultured cells derived from myometrial tissues obtained from nonpregnant and pregnant women (upper and tower uterine segments) and from leiomyomas (tumor and analogous myometrial tissues). RESULTS: Scrape loading revealed the presence or metabolic coupling in all ...

Association of lipoprotein(a) concentration and apo(a) isoform size with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Springer Verlag, 2000)Lp(a) is a unique class of lipoprotein particles that exhibits a considerable size heterogeneity resulting from the size polymorphism of apo(a) its unique protein component. An elevated level of Lp(a) in plasma has been proposed to be a risk factor for premature development of coronary artery disease. To evaluate the relationship between Lp(a) concentration and apo(a) isoform size with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty Lp(a) levels and apo(a) phenotypes were determined ...

Does different orientation of the Medtronic Hall tilting disc valve in the aortic position effect transvalvuler pressure gradients?
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)The effect of valve orientation during aortic valve replacement (AVR) with the Medtronic Hall (MH) tilting disc valve on transvalvuler pressure gradients was evaluated. 30 patients (pts) undergoing isolated AVR received a MH which was oriented so that the greater opening of the valve faced the non coronary aortic sinus. There were 12 male and 8 female pts in this group with a mean age of 59 +/- 5.2 years. An echocardiographic examination was performed 6 days after the operation and resting ...

Intraoperative thermal coronary angiography: quality control
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)Per operative coronary angiography has always been desired by coronary surgeons. Direct coronary angiographic imaging is not practical since needs contrast injection requires radiation and excessive technology with experienced staff which adds more expenses. Thermal angiography device IVA-2000 (OPGAL) is started to be used in our coronary bypass operations as a routine procedure. Thermal imaging provides an effective and real time coronary angiograms which provides very clear coronary angiograms ...

Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Carfax Publishing, 2000)This paper presents results of a longitudinal case study inquiry into the measurement of organizational culture change through the implementation of total quality management (TQM) concepts in a higher education context. The inquiry deals with the relationship between national culture and the company corporate culture the consequences of manager style change for TQM implementation and how culture change can be measured adequately. The results are achieved by the utilization of external (quantitative) ...

Use of octopus 2 stabilization system for off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Medimond Srl, 2000)The early results of 126 off pump CABG procedures performed through a median sternotomy incision (OPCAB) during a period of 18 months were evaluated. The mean age was 69+/-4.3 years. There were 80 male and 46 female patients. Emergency cases and reoperations were not included. A total of 268 anatomosis were performed with a mean number of 2.12 anastomosis Per patient. Conduits used were: LITA (100%) RITA (11.1%) GSV in (84%) and radial artery in (31%) of cases. In 72% of the cases off pump surgery ...

Primary epiploic appendagitis CT manifestations
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Inc, 2000)Inflammation of an epiploic appendage is considered to be a rare cause of acute abdomen. Recently it has been reported that typical computed tomography (CT) findings of primary epiploic appendagitis (PEA) provide a definitive diagnosis in most of the cases. However since these papers are only few they are easily overlooked by the practicing radiologists. Our purpose is to add four new cases to the existing literature and to perform a review of the literature. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Inc. All ...

In situ split costal cartilage graft harvesting through a small incision using a gouge
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2000)A costal cartilage graft is one of the most useful materials in reconstructive plastic surgery. In this article a technique of in situ split costal cartilage graft harvesting through a small incision (2 to 3 cm) using a gouge is described. The technique used has many advantages: it is a simple technique is easy to learn and can be performed quickly through a small incision. By avoiding complete costal cartilage graft harvesting the associated potential complications such as pleural perforation ...

The use of the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron for the treatment of postcardiotomy delirium
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(W.B. Saunders Co Ltd, 2000)Objective:To evaluate the effect of the 5-HT3-receptor antagonist ondansetron in patients with postcardiotomy delirium. Design: Prospective study. Setting: University hospital. Participants: Thirty-five patients who had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery. Interventions: Thirty-five patients 23 men and 12 women who developed delirium in the intensive care unit after coronary artery bypass graft surgery were included. Mean patient age was 51.3 years (range 36 to 79 years). A mental status ...

Reconstruction of the superior labial sulcus in secondary bilateral cleft lip deformities: An inverted U-shaped flap
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001)A shallow buccal sulcus deformity following bilateral cleft lip repair is not rare. A variety of techniques are described for the secondary reconstruction of a deficient sulcus. Most of these are associated with a variable amount of contraction with subsequent obliteration of the sulcus. In this article an inverted U-shaped flap is described for the secondary reconstruction of the deficient sublabial sulcus. In these patients mobility of the upper lip was severely restricted so orthodontic treatment ...

Interactions of polyacrylamide polymer with bentonite in aqueous systems
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Bv, 2001)The flow properties of natural Ca bentonite and Na bentonite-water systems were studied after adding an anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) polymer. The effect of the PAM has also been investigated at different quantities. The experimental results are discussed in terms of bentonite forms and concentration of PAM. Besides measurement of theological properties of Ca bentonite + PAM and Na bentonite + PAM systems have been examined in detail through XRD FT-IR and DTA analyses. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science ...

The evaluation of microbial contamination in platelet concentrates prepared by two different methods
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2001)The microbial contamination of platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared by two different methods both with a high risk of bacterial contamination during preparation and storage were evaluated. For apheresis platelets the concentrates were obtained using the Haemonetics MCS 3P device. For the random method platelets were obtained by two phase centrifugation in the Heraeus Cryofuge 8500 I device using the Kansuk 3-way bags which permit storage for five days. 1620 platelet pheresis units prepared by ...

Removal of UroLume endoprosthesis using holmium : YAG laser
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Mary Ann Liebert Inc Publ, 2001)A potential complication of UroLume endoprosthesis is migration which may necessitate removal of the stent. Stent removal may be associated with complications such as urethral injury bleeding and external sphincter trauma. We report a patient in whom a holmium:yttrium-aluminium-garnet (Ho:YAG) laser was used to cut the UroLume endoprosthesis into fragments which led to easy and uneventful stent removal.
