Abstract: Native vegetation across the Brazilian Cerrado is highly heterogeneous and biodiverse and provides important ecosystem services, including carbon and water balance regulation, however, land-use changes have been extensive. Conservation and restoration of native vegetation is essential and could be facilitated by detailed landcover maps. Here, across a large case study region in Goiás State, Brazil (1.1 Mha), we produced physiognomy level maps of native vegetation (n = 8) and other landcover types (n = 5). Seven different classification schemes using different combinations of input satellite imagery were used, with a Random Forest classifier and 2-stage approach implemented within Google Earth Engine. Overall classification accuracies ranged from 88.6–92.6% for native and non-native vegetation at the formation level (stage-1), and 70.7–77.9% for native vegetation at the physiognomy level (stage-2), across the seven different classifications schemes. The differences in classification accuracy resulting from varying the input imagery combination and quality control procedures used were small. However, a combination of seasonal Sentinel-1 (C-band synthetic aperture radar) and Sentinel-2 (surface reflectance) imagery resulted in the most accurate classification at a spatial resolution of 20 m. Classification accuracies when using Landsat-8 imagery were marginally lower, but still reasonable. Quality control procedures that account for vegetation burning when selecting vegetation reference data may also improve classification accuracy for some native vegetation types. Detailed landcover maps, produced using freely available satellite imagery and upscalable techniques, will be important tools for understanding vegetation functioning at the landscape scale and for implementing restoration projects.

Abstract: The relationship among pain catastrophizing, emotional disorders, and total joint arthroplasty (TJA) outcomes is an emerging area of study. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of these factors with 1-year postoperative pain and functional outcomes.A prospective cohort study of preoperative TJA patients using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A/HADS-D) was conducted. Postoperative outcomes included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain, Oxford, Harris Hip (HHS) and Knee Society (KSS) scores. Median regression was used to assess the pattern of relationship among preoperative clinically relevant catastrophizing (CRC) pain, abnormal HADS, and 1-year postoperative outcomes.We recruited 463 TJA patients, all of which completed 1-year follow-up. At 1 year, CRC-rumination (adjusted median difference 1; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31-1.69, P = .005) and abnormal HADS-A (adjusted median difference 1; 95% CI 0.36-1.64, P = .002) were predictors of VAS pain, CRC magnification a predictor of HHS/KSS (adjusted median difference 1.3; 95% CI 5.23-0.11, P = .041), and abnormal HADS-A a predictor of Oxford (adjusted median difference 3.68; 95% CI 1.38-5.99, P = .002). CRC patients demonstrated inferior VAS pain (P = .001), Oxford (P.0001), and HHS/KSS (P = .025). Abnormal HADS patients demonstrated inferior postoperative VAS (HADS-A, P = .025; HADS-D, P = .030) and Oxford (HADS-A, P = .001; HADS-D, P = .030). However, patients with CRC experienced significant improvement in VAS, Oxford, and HHS/KSS (P.05) from preoperative to 1 year. Similarly, patients with abnormal HADS showed significant improvement in VAS pain and HHS/KSS (P.05).TJA patients who are anxious, depressed, or pain catastrophizing have inferior preoperative and postoperative pain and function. However, as compared to their preoperative status, clinically significant improvement can be expected following hip/knee arthroplasty.

Abstract: Digital, Background Guidelines recommend nonstatin lipid-lowering agents in patients at very high risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) if low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) remains ≥70 mg/dL on maximum tolerated statin treatment. It is uncertain if this approach benefits patients with LDL-C near 70 mg/dL. Lipoprotein(a) levels may influence residual risk. Objectives In a post hoc analysis of the ODYSSEY Outcomes (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab) trial, the authors evaluated the benefit of adding the proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibitor alirocumab to optimized statin treatment in patients with LDL-C levels near 70 mg/dL. Effects were evaluated according to concurrent lipoprotein(a) levels. Methods ODYSSEY Outcomes compared alirocumab with placebo in 18,924 patients with recent acute coronary syndromes receiving optimized statin treatment. In 4,351 patients (23.0%), screening or randomization LDL-C was 13.7 mg/dL or ≤13.7 mg/dL; corresponding adjusted treatment hazard ratios were 0.82 (95% CI: 0.72-0.92) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.75-1.06), with Pinteraction = 0.43. Conclusions In patients with recent acute coronary syndromes and LDL-C near 70 mg/dL on optimized statin therapy, proprotein subtilisin/kexin type 9 inhibition provides incremental clinical benefit only when lipoprotein(a) concentration is at least mildly elevated.

Abstract: Involvement of cecal appendix by metastases secondary to prostate cancer is extremely rare. We have reported a case of a patient with an acute abdomen who underwent right hemicolectomy for appendicitis. Immunohistochemistry of the appendix revealed a prostate tumor metastasis. The presence of prostate cancer metastasis in the cecal appendix is rare, with less than 10 cases reported in published literature. Involvement of the cecal appendix secondary to prostate cancer must be considered as a differential diagnosis in cases of appendicitis, especially in patients who already have a diagnosis of metastatic prostate cancer.

Abstract: Ankle injuries are very common, particularly in contact sports. The goal of treatment is to make an accurate diagnosis and institute appropriate management to get the athlete back to the pre-injury level of participation with ankle stability and no complications. The most common mechanism of injury is a forced plantarflexion inversion injury with varying degrees of internal rotation rupturing the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and, if severe, the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). Immediate and then delayed examination (3–5 days) is important, paying attention to specific pain over the injured ligaments and evaluating the syndesmosis and ankle stability. Elite athletes will often have an MRI immediately to exclude osteochondral lesions and associated often missed injuries.

Abstract: It has previously been established that the sp3/sp2 ratio influences the type of degradation (direct or indirect) as well as the production of oxidants at boron-doped diamond (BDD) films. However, there are no published studies on the effects achieved (in terms of degradation performance) when an ionic liquid is treated nor any evaluations of effluent toxicity after treatment. For this reason, this study investigated the influence of the sp3/sp2 ratio of BDD anodes on the degradation of the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride. The presence of a large fraction of C-sp3 favored more efficient mineralization (significant at high current densities); however, phytotoxic analyses revealed a more toxic final effluent. Depending on the experimental conditions and the sp3/sp2 ratio, smaller amounts of undesirable chlorate and perchlorate anions as well as different oxidation by-products were detected, consequently affecting the toxicity level of the effluent. The results are discussed and compared with the existing literature.

Such patients are considered at very high risk (VHR) based on a history of >1 major atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) event or a single ASCVD event and multiple high-risk conditions. We investigated the association of US guideline-defined risk categories with the occurrence of ischemic events after acute coronary syndrome and reduction of those events by alirocumab, a PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9) inhibitor. Methods: in the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial (Evaluation of Cardiovascular Outcomes After an Acute Coronary Syndrome During Treatment With Alirocumab), patients with recent acute coronary syndrome and residual dyslipidemia despite optimal statin therapy were randomly assigned to alirocumab or placebo. the primary trial outcome (major adverse cardiovascular events, ie, coronary heart disease death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, or hospitalization for unstable angina) was examined according to American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association risk category. Results: of 18 924 participants followed for a median of 2.8 years, 11 935 (63.1%) were classified as VHR: 4450 (37.3%) had multiple prior ASCVD events and 7485 (62.7%) had 1 major ASCVD event and multiple high-risk conditions. Major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 14.4% of placebo-treated patients at VHR versus 5.6% of those not at VHR. in the VHR category, major adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 20.4% with multiple prior ASCVD events versus 10.7% with 1 ASCVD event and multiple high-risk conditions. Alirocumab was associated with consistent relative risk reductions in both risk categories (hazard ratio=0.84 for VHR; hazard ratio=0.86 for not VHR; P-interaction=0.820) and by stratification within the VHR group (hazard ratio=0.86 for multiple prior ASCVD events; hazard ratio=0.82 for 1 major ASCVD event and multiple high-risk conditions; P-interaction=0.672). the absolute risk reduction for major adverse cardiovascular events with alirocumab was numerically greater (but not statistically different) in the VHR group versus those not at VHR (2.1% versus 0.8%; P-interaction=0.095) and among patients at VHR with multiple prior ASCVD events versus a single prior ASCVD event (2.4% versus 1.8%; P-interaction=0.661). Conclusions: the US guideline criteria identify patients with recent acute coronary syndrome and dyslipidemia who are at VHR for recurrent ischemic events and who may derive a larger absolute benefit from treatment with alirocumab., Sanofi; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, This work was supported by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

A reduction in mean LDL cholesterol to 1.4-1.8 mmol/L with ezetimibe or statins reduces cardiovascular events in patients with an acute coronary syndrome and diabetes. However, the efficacy and safety of further reduction in LDL cholesterol with an inhibitor of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) after acute coronary syndrome is unknown. We aimed to explore this issue in a prespecified analysis of the ODYSSEY OUTCOMES trial of the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab, assessing its effects on cardiovascular outcomes by baseline glycaemic status, while also assessing its effects on glycaemic measures including risk of new-onset diabetes. Methods ODYSSEY OUTCOMES was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, done at 1315 sites in 57 countries, that compared alirocumab with placebo in patients who had been admitted to hospital with an acute coronary syndrome (myocardial infarction or unstable angina) 1-12 months before randomisation and who had raised concentrations of atherogenic lipoproteins despite use of high-intensity statins. Patients were randomly assigned (1: 1) to receive alirocumab or placebo every 2 weeks; randomisation was stratified by country and was done centrally with an interactive voice-response or web-response system. Alirocumab was titrated to target LDL cholesterol concentrations of 0.65-1.30 mmol/L. in this prespecified analysis, we investigated the effect of alirocumab on cardiovascular events by glycaemic status at baseline (diabetes, prediabetes, or normoglycaemia)-defined on the basis of patient history, review of medical records, or baseline HbA(1c) or fasting serum glucose-and risk of new-onset diabetes among those without diabetes at baseline. the primary endpoint was a composite of death from coronary heart disease, non-fatal myocardial infarction, fatal or non-fatal ischaemic stroke, or unstable angina requiring hospital admission. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES is registered with ClinicalTrials. gov, number NCT01663402. Findings At study baseline, 5444 patients (28.8%) had diabetes, 8246 (43.6%) had prediabetes, and 5234 (27.7%) had normoglycaemia. There were no significant differences across glycaemic categories in median LDL cholesterol at baseline (2.20-2.28 mmol/L), after 4 months' treatment with alirocumab (0.80 mmol/L), or after 4 months' treatment with placebo (2.25-2.28 mmol/L). in the placebo group, the incidence of the primary endpoint over a median of 2.8 years was greater in patients with diabetes (16.4%) than in those with prediabetes (9.2%) or normoglycaemia (8.5%); hazard ratio (HR) for diabetes versus normoglycaemia 2.09 (95% CI 1.78-2.46, p, Sanofi; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

Abstract: The potential use of bio-binders as full or partial substitutes of petroleum-based binders have gained interest from the paving researches in recent years. Although there are many studies about rheological characterization of alternative binders, there is still lack of knowledge about mixtures and field performance of this type of materials. In this sense, this paper presents an evaluation of bio-binder produced from vegetal biomass, by-product of the treatment of pine wood resin, as the total substitute of the asphalt binder for surface pavement layer, comparing its performance with a neat asphalt binder, used as reference, at three study levels: binder evaluation, mixture evaluation and field performance monitoring. Linear viscoelastic characterization, permanent deformation and fatigue responses were studied for the binders. The mixtures designed with both binders were tested in terms of stiffness, moisture sensitivity and permanent deformation. The performance in the field test sections was monitored during three years by structural evaluation (FWD) and roughness test (IRI). Results showed that the bio-binder studied presented acceptable behavior, with similar responses of that exhibited by the petroleum-based asphalt binder. The bio-binder studied could be used as binder in mixtures for surface layers of road pavements, however, the durability of that type of mixtures and the environmental impact of the production process need to be further studied in order to complement the feasibility of this alternative as a sustainable solution.

Abstract: Tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) is a fruit species native to Equatorial Africa, India and Southeast Asia. Its seeds experience slow germination, thus, study on the influence of environmental factors, such as water and salt stresses, on seed germination, is required to assess the tolerance of these seeds to storage, and to maintain the vigor and the viability in the period between harvesting and sowing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the performance of tamarind seeds subjected to salt and water stresses and to storage. Three experiments were carried out in a completely randomized design with four replications of 25 seeds, totaling 100 seeds per treatment. For stress conditions, treatments consisted of moistening of the substrate with different concentrations of PEG 6000 (experiment 1) and NaCl (experiment 2) - 0 (control); -0.3; -0.6; -1.2. For the storage trial (experiment 3), seeds remained stored for 0 (control), 12, 24, 36 and 48 months. In the germination test, the percentage of germination, the speed of germination index, the mean speed and the mean germination time were assessed. All variables were influenced by the water and salt stress, and the seeds of tamarind sensitive to potential used in this work. As in the test with water and saline potential storage trials showed that the physiological seed quality was impaired when they were subjected to long storage period. Key words: Tamarindus indica L, salinity, polyethyleneglycol, stress, storage.

Abstract: Summary Objective To analyze the voice formants (F1, F2, F3, and F4 in Hz) of seven oral vowels, in Brazilian Portuguese, [a, e, e, i, ɔ, o, and u] in adult individuals with congenital lifetime untreated isolated growth hormone deficiency (IGHD). Study Design This is a cross-sectional study. Methods Acoustic analysis of isolated vowels was performed in 33 individuals with IGHD, age 44.5 (17.6) years (16 women), and 29 controls, age 51.1 (17.6) years (15 women). Results Compared with controls, IGHD men showed higher values of F3 [i, e, and e], P = 0.006, P = 0.022, and P = 0.006, respectively and F4 [i], P = 0.001 and lower values of F2 [u], P = 0.034; IGHD women presented higher values of F1 [i and e] P = 0.029 and P = 0.036; F2 [ɔ] P = 0.006; F4 [ɔ] P = 0.031 and lower values of F2 [i] P = 0.004. IGHD abolished most of the gender differences in formant frequencies present in controls. Conclusions Congenital, severe IGHD results in higher values of most formant frequencies, suggesting smaller oral and pharyngeal cavities. In addition, it causes a reduction in the effect of gender on the structure of the formants, maintaining a prepubertal acoustic prediction.

Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction with statins and proprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin Type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors reduces risk of MI, but less is known about effects on types of MI. ODYSSEY OUTCOMES compared the PCSK9 inhibitor alirocumab with placebo in 18 924 patients with recent acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and elevated LDL-C (>= 1.8 mmol/L) despite intensive statin therapy. in a pre-specified analysis, we assessed the effects of alirocumab on types of MI. Methods and results Median follow-up was 2.8 years. Myocardial infarction types were prospectively adjudicated and classified. of 1860 total MIs, 1223 (65.8%) were adjudicated as Type 1, 386 (20.8%) as Type 2, and 244 (13.1%) as Type 4. Few events were Type 3 (n = 2) or Type 5 (n = 5). Alirocumab reduced first MIs [hazard ratio (HR) 0.85, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.77-0.95; P = 0.003], with reductions in both Type 1 (HR 0.87, 95% CI 0.77-0.99; P = 0.032) and Type 2 (0.77, 0.61-0.97; P = 0.025), but not Type 4 MI. Conclusion After ACS, alirocumab added to intensive statin therapy favourably impacted on Type 1 and 2 MIs. the data indicate for the first time that a lipid-lowering therapy can attenuate the risk of Type 2 MI. Low-density lipoprotein cholesterol reduction below levels achievable with statins is an effective preventive strategy for both MI types., Sanofi; Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Supported by Sanofi and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.

15. Hydraulic traits explain differential responses of Amazonian forests to the 2015 El Niño-induced drought

Abstract: Reducing uncertainties in the response of tropical forests to global change requires understanding how intra- and interannual climatic variability selects for different species, community functional composition and ecosystem functioning, so that the response to climatic events of differing frequency and severity can be predicted. Here we present an extensive dataset of hydraulic traits of dominant species in two tropical Amazon forests with contrasting precipitation regimes - low seasonality forest (LSF) and high seasonality forest (HSF) - and relate them to community and ecosystem response to the El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) of 2015. Hydraulic traits indicated higher drought tolerance in the HSF than in the LSF. Despite more intense drought and lower plant water potentials in HSF during the 2015-ENSO, greater xylem embolism resistance maintained similar hydraulic safety margin as in LSF. This likely explains how ecosystem-scale whole-forest canopy conductance at HSF maintained a similar response to atmospheric drought as at LSF, despite their water transport systems operating at different water potentials. Our results indicate that contrasting precipitation regimes (at seasonal and interannual time scales) select for assemblies of hydraulic traits and taxa at the community level, which may have a significant role in modulating forest drought response at ecosystem scales.

Abstract: Background. Currently there is little information on the identification, management and outcomes of patients with sepsis in developing countries. Simple cost-effective measures such as accurate identification of patients with sepsis and early antibiotic administration are achievable targets, within reach without having to make use of unsustainable protocols constructed in developed countries. Objectives. To assess the ability of clinicians at a district-level hospital to identify and manage sepsis, and to assess patient outcome in terms of in-hospital mortality and length of hospital stay given the above management. Methods. A retrospective descriptive study design was used, analysing data from the routine burden of disease audit done on a 3-monthly basis at Karl Bremer Hospital (KBH) in the Western Cape Province, South Africa. Results. The total sample size obtained was 70 patients, of whom 18 (25.7%) had an initial triage blood pressure indicative of sepsis-induced hypotension. However, only 1 (5.5%) of these 18 patients received an initial crystalloid fluid bolus of at least 30 mL/kg. The median time that elapsed before administration of antibiotics in septic shock was 4.25 hours. Furthermore, a positive delay in antibiotic administration ( p =0.0039) was demonstrated. The data also showed that 8/12 patients (66.7%) with septic shock received inappropriate amounts of fluids. The in-hospital mortality rate for sepsis was 4/24 (16.7%), for severe sepsis 11/34 (32.3%) and for septic shock a staggering 9/12 (75.0%). Conclusions. The initial classification process and management of sepsis by clinicians at KBH is flawed. This inevitably leads to an increase in in-hospital mortality.

Abstract: Objective: Visual preference for faces at birth is the product of a multimodal sensory experience experienced by the fetus even during the gestational period. The ability to recognize faces allows an ecologically advantageous interaction with the social environment. However, perinatal events such as premature birth, may adversely affect the adequate development of this capacity. In this study, we evaluated the preference for facial stimuli in preterm infants within the first few hours after birth. Methods: This is a cross-sectional observational study of 59 newborns, 28 preterm and 31 full-term infants. The babies were assessed in the first hours of life, with two white boards in the shape of a head and neck: one with the drawing of a face similar to the human face (natural face), and one with the drawing of misaligned eyes, mouth and nose (distorted face). After the newborn fixated the eyes on the presented stimulus, it was slowly moved along the visual field. The recognition of the stimulus was considered present when the baby had eye or head movements toward the stimulus. Results: The preterm infants, in addition to showing a lower occurrence of orientation movements for both stimuli, on average (1.8 ± 1.1 to natural faces and 2.0 ± 1.2 for distorted ones) also showed no preference for any of them (p = 0.35). Full-term newborns showed a different behavior, in which they showed a preference for natural faces (p = 0.002) and a higher number of orientations for the stimulus, for both natural (3.2 ± 0.8) and distorted faces (2.5 ± 0.9). Conclusion: Preterm newborns recognize facial stimuli and disclose no preference for natural faces, different from full-term newborns. Resumo: Objetivo: A preferência visual por faces ao nascimento é produto de uma experiência sensorial multimodal vivenciada pelo feto ainda no período gestacional. A habilidade de reconhecer faces possibilita uma interação ecologicamente vantajosa com o ambiente social. Entretanto, eventos perinatais, como o nascimento prematuro, podem prejudicar o desenvolvimento adequado dessa habilidade. Nesse trabalho, avaliamos a preferência por estímulos faciais de recém-nascidos prematuros nas primeiras horas após o nascimento. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional transversal realizado com 59 recém-nascidos, 28 prematuros e 31 nascidos termos. Os bebês foram avaliados, nas primeiras horas de vida, com duas pranchas brancas em formato de cabeça e pescoço: uma com o desenho de uma face similar ao rosto humano (face natural), e outra com o desenho de olhos, boca e nariz desalinhados (face distorcida). Após o recém-nascido fixar o olhar no estímulo apresentado o mesmo era lentamente movimentado ao longo do campo visual. O reconhecimento do estímulo foi considerado presente quando o bebê apresentou movimentos dos olhos ou cabeça em direção ao estímulo. Resultados: Os recém-nascidos prematuros além de apresentarem menor ocorrência de movimentos de orientação para ambos os estímulos, em média (1,8 ± 1,1 para faces naturais e 2,0 ± 1,2 para faces distorcidas), também não apresentaram preferência por qualquer um deles (p = 0,35). Diferente foi o comportamento dos recém-nascidos a termo que apresentaram preferência por faces naturais (p = 0,002) e um número maior de orientações para o estímulo, tanto para faces naturais (3,2 ± 0,8) quanto para faces distorcidas (2,5 ± 0,9). Conclusão: Recém-nascidos prematuros reconhecem os estímulos faciais e não apresentam preferência por faces naturais, diferente de recém-nascidos a termos.

Abstract: The efficacy of the current instrument to assess the social assistance needs of children with chronic health conditions in South Africa is questioned. To develop an improved assessment instrument for South African use, this instrument was pitted against two international social assistance assessment instruments, the United Kingdom (UK) Disability Living Allowance (DLA) and the Australian Child Disability Assessment Tool (CDAT). A purposive sample of 18 children representing six types of disability and chronic illnesses was selected, and all three assessment instruments were used to assess the needs of these children. A juxtaposition of the outcomes of the assessment instruments revealed significant differences. The South African instrument deemed the majority (56%) of the sample ineligible for assistance. On the contrary, significant majorities were deemed eligible for assistance in terms of the U.K. (94%) and Australian (89%) instruments. The study recommended that a holistic approach to need assessment be adopted in the design of a more appropriate assessment instrument for South African use.

Abstract: PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the fracture resistance of human maxillary premolars restored with 2 ceramic systems (Vitadur Alpha and In Ceram) comparing 3 preparation designs and 2 luting agents.MethodsSeventy sound teeth were prepared to receive ceramic restorations (Vitadur Alpha; n=14) as follows: (1) control, sound premolars, with no preparation, (2) inlays, (3) partial onlays (palatal cuspid coverage), (4) total onlays (both cuspids coverage), and (5) total onlays with an In Ceram core. The ceramic restorations were cemented using Enforce or RelyX ARC (half restorations with each cement), placed into the cavity and held under pressure, except for the control group. The teeth were subjected to compressive axial loading at 0.5mmmin−1 using a 9mm steel ball until fracture. Data were analyzed by 3-way ANOVA and post hoc Tukey's test (α=.05).ResultsThere was a significant difference between cements and among preparation designs (P.05). Partial and total onlays did not statistically differ and showed the weakest performance. The use of an In Ceram core did not produce higher fracture resistance.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, the cements tested had different mechanical properties, while cuspid coverage did not result in improved fracture resistance of the restored teeth.

Abstract: Carica candamarcensis is a species from the Caricaceae family whose immature fruit contains latex with large amounts of cysteine proteinases. In prior studies, we isolated two of these enzymes displaying mitogenic activity when incubated with L929 fibroblastic cells. One of the fractions containing these enzymes (P1G10) was shown to enhance wound healing of skin and to accelerate healing of chemically induced gastric ulcer. In this study we evaluate the effect of P1G10 on heat-induced, third-degree burn using a rodent model. The results show that 0.1% P1G10 accelerates epithelisation while the effect of 1% or 0.01% P1G10 is not significantly different to 1% silver sulphadiazine, 2% papain or the hydrosoluble vehicle used as control. In a double-blind randomised experiment comparing the healing response of 0.1%, 1% and the vehicle alone, we confirmed the enhanced healing property of P1G10. Histological analysis of burn-tissue sections following treatment with P1G10 support these observations. These results extend the healing properties of these groups of enzymes to a different type of trauma and open the way to future clinical applications.

Abstract: Objectives To review a single-centre experience with stent-graft treatment of penetrating carotid artery injuries and long-term follow-up. Methods All stable patients with carotid artery injuries presenting between August 1998 and February 2009 were considered for endovascular treatment. Patients were selected based on clinical and radiological criteria and data were prospectively collected. Follow-up was conducted clinically, angiographically and by telephonic contact. Endpoints were stroke, death and any other stent-graft-related complications. Results A total of 128 patients were treated, of whom only 19 were selected for endovascular management. The recorded technical success rate was 100%, with one early stroke and one non-stent-graft-related procedural death. A further four patients were lost to follow-up. The remaining 14 patients had a mean follow-up of nearly 4 years. No stent-graft-related late deaths, strokes or other complications were reported, although one instance of late stent-graft occlusion was documented. Conclusion Endovascular management of penetrating carotid artery injuries is safe and the long-term outcomes justify a more liberal application of this technique in selected patients.

Abstract: Wood contains a large amount of air, even in functional xylem. Air embolisms in the xylem affect water transport and can determine plant growth and survival. Embolisms are usually estimated with laborious hydraulic methods, which can be prone to several artefacts. Here, we describe a new method for estimating embolisms that is based on air flow measurements of entire branches. To calculate the amount of air flowing out of the branch, a vacuum was applied to the cut bases of branches under different water potentials. We first investigated the source of air by determining whether it came from inside or outside the branch. Second, we compared embolism curves according to air flow or hydraulic measurements in 15 vessel- and tracheid-bearing species to test the hypothesis that the air flow is related to embolism. Air flow came almost exclusively from air inside the branch during the 2.5-min measurements and was strongly related to embolism. We propose a new embolism measurement method that is simple, effective, rapid and inexpensive, and that allows several measurements on the same branch, thus opening up new possibilities for studying plant hydraulics.

Abstract: This study compared microleakage between indirect composite inlays and direct composite restorations. Forty-eight standard inlay MOD cavities, with cervical margins located either in enamel or dentin, were prepared in extracted human third molars. The specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=16). In the control group, the cavities were restored with the composite Filtek Z250 (3M ESPE). For the experimental groups, indirect restorations were made with the Artglass (Heraeus-Kulzer) or Belleglass HP (Kerr Laboratories) systems and cemented with the dual curing cement RelyX ARC (3M ESPE). The adhesive system Single Bond (3M ESPE) was applied on all groups. The specimens were submitted to thermolcycling, coated with nail varnish, then immersed in 2% basic fuchsine aqueous solution for 24 hours. The teeth were then sectioned and leakage scores were evaluated (40x), based on a standard ranking. Data were submitted to statistical analysis (Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests) with a 95% confidence level. No statistical difference was found between substrates (p=0.595), and the materials performed similarly in dentin (p=0.482). Direct restorations showed higher leakage than indirect restorations at the enamel margins (p=0.004). Within the limitations of this experimental design, overall leakage was similar between both substrates, while the indirect systems provided a better sealing than direct composites only in enamel.

Abstract: SummaryGlomus tumors, also called paragangliomas, originate from nonchromaffin cells. The tumor is typically vascular and grows from capillary and pre-capillary vessels in-between epithelial cells. It is worth mentioning that the most common symptoms are pulsating tinnitus and hearing loss. Imaging studies (CT and MRI) are necessary for diagnosis. This paper shows five patients seen at the Hospital between 1995 and 2001 presenting glomus tympanicum. Women were most commonly affected, and the age ranged from 48 to 60 years (mean age of 50 years). The most common complaints were pulsating tinnitus and hearing loss. All patients were treated surgically.

Abstract: A conservative approach to treating breast cancer patients was adopted for those more than 70 years of age with T1-3 and small localized T4b N0-1 lesions. It consists of tumor excision or simple mastectomy with adjuvant tamoxifen. From the prospective breast cancer database, patients 70 years or older at the time of diagnosis were identified for the period January 1990 to December 1996. Demographic, clinical, pathological, and oncologic data were retrieved. A total of 236 patients were identified. Ninety-seven patients (41%) were treated according to the conservative protocol. Of these, 74 had a tumor excision and 23 had a simple mastectomy. Their mean age was 79 years. TNM staging was stage I in 18 patients, stage II in 66 patients, and stage III in 13 patients. There was no 30-day mortality. Eleven patients were not compliant with tamoxifen use. Two patients were lost to follow-up. The mean follow-up is 51 months (range 4 to 109 months). The cumulative incidence of local and regional recurrence at 8 years is 5% and 7%, respectively. Locoregional recurrences were controlled with excision, mastectomy, or axillary dissection. The cumulative disease-specific, overall, and disease-free survival at 5 years is 86%, 64% and 46%, respectively. Tumor excision or simple mastectomy with tamoxifen offers sufficient tumor control for elderly patients. Axillary dissection and breast or chest wall radiotherapy can safely be omitted, thereby greatly reducing health care resource utilization.

Abstract: Summary Background Up-to-date evidence about levels and trends in disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) is an essential input into global, regional, and national health policies. In the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013 (GBD 2013), we estimated these quantities for acute and chronic diseases and injuries for 188 countries between 1990 and 2013. Methods Estimates were calculated for disease and injury incidence, prevalence, and YLDs using GBD 2010 methods with some important refinements. Results for incidence of acute disorders and prevalence of chronic disorders are new additions to the analysis. Key improvements include expansion to the cause and sequelae list, updated systematic reviews, use of detailed injury codes, improvements to the Bayesian meta-regression method (DisMod-MR), and use of severity splits for various causes. An index of data representativeness, showing data availability, was calculated for each cause and impairment during three periods globally and at the country level for 2013. In total, 35 620 distinct sources of data were used and documented to calculated estimates for 301 diseases and injuries and 2337 sequelae. The comorbidity simulation provides estimates for the number of sequelae, concurrently, by individuals by country, year, age, and sex. Disability weights were updated with the addition of new population-based survey data from four countries. Findings Disease and injury were highly prevalent; only a small fraction of individuals had no sequelae. Comorbidity rose substantially with age and in absolute terms from 1990 to 2013. Incidence of acute sequelae were predominantly infectious diseases and short-term injuries, with over 2 billion cases of upper respiratory infections and diarrhoeal disease episodes in 2013, with the notable exception of tooth pain due to permanent caries with more than 200 million incident cases in 2013. Conversely, leading chronic sequelae were largely attributable to non-communicable diseases, with prevalence estimates for asymptomatic permanent caries and tension-type headache of 2·4 billion and 1·6 billion, respectively. The distribution of the number of sequelae in populations varied widely across regions, with an expected relation between age and disease prevalence. YLDs for both sexes increased from 537·6 million in 1990 to 764·8 million in 2013 due to population growth and ageing, whereas the age-standardised rate decreased little from 114·87 per 1000 people to 110·31 per 1000 people between 1990 and 2013. Leading causes of YLDs included low back pain and major depressive disorder among the top ten causes of YLDs in every country. YLD rates per person, by major cause groups, indicated the main drivers of increases were due to musculoskeletal, mental, and substance use disorders, neurological disorders, and chronic respiratory diseases; however HIV/AIDS was a notable driver of increasing YLDs in sub-Saharan Africa. Also, the proportion of disability-adjusted life years due to YLDs increased globally from 21·1% in 1990 to 31·2% in 2013. Interpretation Ageing of the world's population is leading to a substantial increase in the numbers of individuals with sequelae of diseases and injuries. Rates of YLDs are declining much more slowly than mortality rates. The non-fatal dimensions of disease and injury will require more and more attention from health systems. The transition to non-fatal outcomes as the dominant source of burden of disease is occurring rapidly outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Our results can guide future health initiatives through examination of epidemiological trends and a better understanding of variation across countries. Funding Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

Abstract: Background— Moderate, regular alcohol consumption is generally associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events but data in patients with chronic heart failure are scarce. We evaluated the relations between wine consumption, health status, circulating biomarkers, and clinical outcomes in a large Italian population of patients with chronic heart failure enrolled in a multicenter clinical trial. Methods and Results— A brief questionnaire on dietary habits was administered at baseline to 6973 patients enrolled in the Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio della Sopravvivenza nell’Insufficienza Cardiaca-Heart Failure (GISSI-HF) trial. The relations between wine consumption, fatal and nonfatal clinical end points, quality of life, symptoms of depression, and circulating biomarkers of cardiac function and inflammation (in subsets of patients) were evaluated with simple and multivariable-adjusted statistical models. Almost 56% of the patients reported drinking at least 1 glass of wine per day. After adjustment, clinical outcomes were not significantly different in the predefined 4 groups of wine consumption. However, patients with more frequent wine consumption had a significantly better perception of health status (Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire score, adjusted P P =0.01), and lower plasma levels of biomarkers of vascular inflammation (osteoprotegerin and C-terminal proendothelin-1, adjusted P P =0.01) after adjusting for possible confounders. Conclusions— We show for the first time in a large cohort of patients with chronic heart failure that moderate wine consumption is associated with a better perceived and objective health status, lower prevalence of depression, and less vascular inflammation, but does not translate into more favorable clinical 4-year outcomes.

Abstract: Summary The aim of this work was to establish the prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococci (MRS) in the animals and staff of a teaching and research farm. Samples of dairy cattle (36), beef cattle (26), sheep (19), horses (21), pigs (23), goats (23) and humans (13) were collected and screened for the presence of MRS. The detection of mecA gene was performed by PCR to determine the resistance of the samples to methicillin. Antimicrobial-resistance testing to penicillin, meropenem, ceftriaxone, cephalothin, oxacillin, levofloxacin, enrofloxacin, chloramphenicol, ciprofloxacin, gentamicin, clindamycin, erytromycin, linezolid, sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim, tetracycline, doxycycline and vancomycin was performed on the mecA+ isolates. From the 161 samples, four methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci (MRCoNS) were isolated from human beings (31%), whereas none was isolated from animals (0%). No methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) were isolated. All of the MRCoNS isolates from this work presented different antimicrobial resistance patterns. MRCoNS may be present in humans associated with animals while not present in the animals. Selective pressure outside of the farm and a lack of MRCoNS transmission between humans and animals may be responsible for this lack of correlation.

Abstract: 'Legalise marijuana for medical purposes' was the cry in Parliament that prompted the response by Charles Parry and Bronwyn Myers in this issue of SAMJ. Much parliamentary and public sentiment favoured such an action. But is this the wisest course to follow? The abuse of drugs is harmful to the individual, families and communities. Declaring war on drugs, as US President Nixon did in 1971, therefore has emotional appeal. However, despite this escalating war, the use of drugs has increased worldwide. While the war had noble intentions, it resulted in harmful unintended consequences. Criminalisation of drug use had the effect of hugely increasing the number of prisoners, who are later likely to resort to other criminal activities. The USA, the leader of the war, has the world's highest proportion of jailed citizens (707/100 000, as opposed to South Africa at 294/100 000 and India at 30/100 000). The huge profits from the drug trade corrupt users, politicians, police and financial institutions - the fight for turf by drug cartels in Mexico for drugs destined for the USA has been responsible for tens of thousands of murders and disappearances. While the effects of drugs are harmful, the consequences of the war on drugs are far worse.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To study the potential impact of the combined use of CT and MRI scans on the Gross Tumor Volume (GTV) estimation and interobserver variation. METHODS AND MATERIALS: Four observers outlined the GTV in six patients with advanced head and neck cancer on CT, axial MRI, and coronal or sagittal MRI. The MRI scans were subsequently matched to the CT scan. The interobserver and interscan set variation were assessed in three dimensions. RESULTS: The mean CT derived volume was a factor of 1.3 larger than the mean axial MRI volume. The range in volumes was larger for the CT than for the axial MRI volumes in five of the six cases. The ratio of the scan set common (i.e., the volume common to all GTVs) and the scan set encompassing volume (i.e., the smallest volume encompassing all GTVs) was closer to one in MRI (0.3-0.6) than in CT (0.1-0.5). The rest volumes (i.e., the volume defined by one observer as GTV in one data set but not in the other data set) were never zero for CT vs. MRI nor for MRI vs. CT. In two cases the craniocaudal border was poorly recognized on the axial MRI but could be delineated with a good agreement between the observers in the coronal/sagittal MRI. CONCLUSIONS: MRI-derived GTVs are smaller and have less interobserver variation than CT-derived GTVs. CT and MRI are complementary in delineating the GTV. A coronal or sagittal MRI adds to a better GTV definition in the craniocaudal direction.

Abstract: Purpose: The safety and efficacy of a new sedation technique for children having dental procedures under local anesthesia were evaluated. Materials and Methods: One hundred children between the ages of 2 and 7 years who required sedation for dental procedures were administered either a combination of midazolam (0.35 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg) or midazolam alone (1 mg/kg) rectally 30 minutes before removal to the dental chair. Pulse rate, respiratory rate, arterial pressure, oxygen saturation, adverse reactions, postoperative recovery, and behavior were recorded. Results: Satisfactory sedation and anxiolysis were achieved with both drugs used in the study. When evaluating postoperative recovery, statistically significantly more children receiving midazolam alone were fully awake on admission to the recovery room and 30 minutes later. Results of physiologic monitoring, behavioral ratings, and adverse effects are reported. Excessive salivation occurred in 26% of children receiving the combination of drugs, compared with 14% receiving midazolam alone. Seven (14%) of the children receiving the combination of drugs hallucinated, compared with 21 (42%) receiving midazolam alone. Both drug groups had reliably good anxiolysis and sedation without loss of respiratory drive or protective airway reflexes. Conclusion: The use of a combination of midazolam and ketamine or midazolam alone is a safe, effective, and practical approach to managing children for minor dental procedures under local anesthesia. With this technique, advanced airway management proficiency is recommended.

Abstract: South Africa is a developing country reliant on selling resources. Its financial health and the health of its citizens are massively dependent on and influenced by its mines. The importance of the mining industry can be gauged from a look at some figures - for example, in 2009 the South African mining industry had over 1 000 mines and 483 212 employees; 168 888 were in platinum, 148 832 in gold, 68 006 in coal, and the rest in other commodities. The 16 August 2012 shooting by police that resulted in the death of 34 striking Lonmin mine workers in what has become known as the 'Marikana massacre', and its aftermath, have cost the country billions in damage to property and lost export income. Miners and their families, especially those who wished to work, have suffered severe hardship.

Abstract: Plants of the partial amphiploid Inia 66/Thinopyrum distichum (2n = 70)//Inia 66 (2n = 56) were used as male parents in crosses with the monosomic series in the common wheat cultivar Inia 66. The genome and homoeologous group of the monosomic used in the cross affected the distribution of chromosome number of the progeny plants in the F2 and F4. Meiosis in the pollen mother cells of the B1F7 partial amphiploids was not stable, and not different from that of the B1F1 in which univalents and multivalents were observed. Disomic addition lines were selected on the basis of morphology and meiotic stability in the F2, F4 and F5. Eleven of the fourteen possible wheat-Th. distichum disomic addition lines were identified using chromosome C-band pattern, as well as size and arm ratio, as genetic markers. Addition of T. distichum chromosome J (dll) produced a phenotype indicating homoeology with wheat group-2 chromosomes. Clear indications of homoeology based on morphological characteristics were not obtained in any of the other addition lines, probably due to the mixed homoeology of the Th. distichum chromosomes relative to wheat. The addition lines were all susceptible to leaf rust, unlike the germplasm-line Indis which carries a leaf rust resistance gene on a translocation segment derived from Th. distichum. Instability of meiotic pairing was observed in all addition lines. The stability, or not, of progeny chromosome counts did not reflect the level of chromosome pairing instability in the parental plants. SDS-PAGE for gliadin-type seed proteins revealed two addition lines which expressed seed storage proteins uncommon to Inia 66 but typical of Th. distichum.

Abstract: The intestinal flora may act on cholesterol metabolism either, directly by converting the molecule to coprostanol, or indirectly, by influencing upon intestinal bile acid metabolism, mainly by deconjugation. In the present study, sixteen probiotic strains belonging to the genera: Bifidobacterium , Enterococcus , Lactobacillus and Streptococcus were investigated for possible direct action on cholesterol metabolism in vitro and in vivo in ex-germfree mice monoassociated with each probiotic. Additionally, deconjugation of taurodeoxycholic acid (TDC) and of glycodeoxycholic acid (GDC) was investigated in vitro as an indirect effect upon cholesterol metabolism, using the same strains. Gas-liquid chromatography and thin-layer chromatography were used. None of the probiotic strains, was able to transform cholesterol to coprostanol in vitro or in vivo . Of the total probiotics analyzed, B. bifidum B12, L. acidophilus La5, L. acidophilus ATCC4356, L. fermentum ATCC14931, L. plantarum 299v, L. rhamnosus ATCC7469 and E. faecium were able to deconjugate both TDC and GDC in vitro . We conclude that the formation of coprostanol does not account for the supposed cholesterol-lowering effect of the probiotics tested. As some of the probiotics were able to deconjugate TDC and/or GDC in vitro , this microbial function should be studied more extensively in vivo . Keywords: germfree, monoassociated, probiotics, cholesterol, coprostanol, bile acid, taurodeoxycholic acid, glycodeoxycholic acid.

Abstract: 'Suffer [let] little children, to come unto me, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven' are lyrics of a Stephen Foster song, and of much older song versions that echo the text in the Bible. Pope Benedict XVI expressed that he was deeply disturbed and distressed over the tales of abuse of children in Ireland. The Murphy Report, an Independent Commission of Investigation, examined more than 300 abuse claims in the Archdiocese of Dublin between 1975 and 2004. It reported that instead of being concerned for the victims of the abuse, the Church was more concerned about 'the maintenance of secrecy, the avoidance of scandal, the protection of the reputation of the church and the preservation of its assets'.

Abstract: The predictive value of raised cord blood (CB) total eosinophil counts (TEC) with regard to atopic sensitisation was studied prospectively for 1 year in 53 Black, 52 White and 57 Mixed full-term newborns. The maternal TEC, in relation to the stress of labour, were also studied. Ethnic differences in the CB TEC were shown between the Black/White (p = 0.03) and the White/Mixed (p = 0.05) groups. The newborns sex, anatopic family history (aFH) and the method of birth had no influence on the CB TEC in any ethnic group. There were no unequivocal differences in CB TEC between those newborns who became atopic during infancy and those who did not in any of the ethnic groups, although in the Black infants, there was a marginal trend towards significance (p = 0.05). Raised CB TEC values do not, therefore, seem to be an inherited factor in terms of a predisposition for atopic disease.

Abstract: Aims and method were to assess the current practice in paediatric tumour management by the departments of neurosurgery and oncology, compare these with nationally agreed recommendations and examine for areas of improvement. Patient records were identified from departmental databases - 30 patients treated from October 2004 to May 2006. Factors assessed included treatment timelines (e.g., referral to admission and imaging, admission to surgery, surgery to further treatment), imaging, MDT discussion, and paediatric neurosurgeryneuro-oncology treatments. Of acute referrals, all patients were admitted within 2 days. All surgery was undertaken by a dedicated paediatric neurosurgeon with paediatric anaesthesia. All cases were discussed in a neuro-oncology MDT prior to surgery and 97% after surgery. In the first 6-months 57% received adjuvant treatment within 40 days; in the remaining period this improved to 91%. When measured against recognised benchmark standards, the SCH paediatric neuro-oncology service appears satisfactory. This study has identified the need to improve certain aspects of care to offer further improvements to the specialist service delivered.

Abstract: Intravenously administered lorazepam (0.05 mg/kg), diazepam (0.25 mg/ kg), and midazolam (0.1 mg/kg) were compared for sedation during oral surgery under local anesthesia. Sixty patients were randomly allocated into three groups in this double-blind, parallel study. The results from this trial show that all three drugs provide satisfactory sedation. Average mean arterial pressures, however, decreased significantly with midazolam and diazepam. Statistically significantly higher heart rates during the entire procedure were also found for lorazepam when compared with diazepam and midazolam. At the postblock stage, the midazolam group had respiratory rates that were significantly higher than those of the other two drug groups. Patients in the diazepam and midazolam groups took significantly longer to complete the pegboard test at the preblock stage than those in the lorazepam group. At 1, 1.5, and 2 hours after arrival in the recovery room, an inversion of groups took place, with the lorazepam group taking significantly longer for their tests than the other two groups. Significantly more improvement in anxiety levels was found at 10 minutes postdrug for the patients who had received diazepam and this tended to remain so on arrival in the recovery room. When compared with the other two groups, significantly more patients in the lorazepam group reported giddiness/ dizziness and significantly more in the diazepam group reported pain on injection.

Abstract: Six patients with subacute diaphyseal osteomyelitis of 200 with acute osteomyelitis who were seen and treated at the Red Cross Children's Hospital in a 3-year period (1985-1987) are reported. All six patients had a history of a minimum of 2 weeks' duration and the radiographic picture of a linear periosteal reaction, which was either single or laminated. This radiographic picture was indistinguishable from round cell tumors of bone. The final diagnosis was established by a histology consistent with a subacute osteomyelitis. In two patients, a positive culture of Staphylococcus aureus was obtained. All of the patients healed after treatment with cloxacillin. Radiographic resolution was noted in all patients within 6 months of treatment.

Abstract: Background The cost effective treatment of cancer in developing countries remains challenging. In the elderly with possible limited life expectancy, the health expenditure associated with standard treatment regimes should be carefully considered. We present the results of conservative management of breast cancer in the aged in a resource-limited environment. Methods Patients aged 70 or older with early breast cancer were treated with tumour excision or simple mastectomy and adjuvant tamoxifen. The records of patients presenting to the Breast Unit between January 1990 and December 2004 were retrieved and demographic, clinical, pathological and oncological data were reviewed. Survival statistics were calculated using the life table method. Results A total of 483 patients above 70 years of age were identified. One hundred and eighty eight patients were managed according to the conservative protocol. Forty-one had a simple mastectomy and 147 tumour excision. Their mean age was 77.3 years. The mean follow-up is 62 months. Thirty-one patients (16.4%) were not compliant with tamoxifen use. TNM staging was 0 in 4 patients, I in 42 patients, II in 116 patients and III in 26 patients. There was no 30-day mortality. The cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 3.3% at 5 and 10 years. The cumulative incidence of regional recurrence was 3.3% at 5 years and 4.5% at 10 years. The cumulative incidence of distant recurrence was 6.2% at 5 years and 12.2% at 10 years. The cumulative overall, disease specific and disease free survival at 10 years was 59%, 88% and 81% respectively. Conclusion Limited surgery and tamoxifen provide excellent control of breast cancer in the elderly in a resource restricted environment. Radiotherapy and axillary dissection and can be safely omitted thereby reducing health care resource utilization.

Abstract: Background This study evaluated a single-centre experience with endovascular repair of traumatic arteriovenous fistula in the cervicothoracic region. Methods Endovascular repair of 27 traumatic cervicothoracic arteriovenous fistulas was attempted between August 1998 and December 2001. Patients with active bleeding or end-organ ischaemia were excluded. Follow-up was accomplished with clinical, duplex Doppler and arteriographic evaluation after 1 month and then every 3 months. Results Twelve patients with a major vessel injury were treated by stent-graft placement. Vessels involved were the subclavian (eight), common carotid (three) and internal carotid (one) arteries. Subclavian artery side branches were embolized in three of the eight patients. Four patients developed early type 4 endoleaks but all resolved. Treatment with stent-grafts was ultimately successful in all 12 patients. Three patients were lost to follow-up. During mean follow-up of 21 (range 3–36) months, one of the remaining patients developed a graft stenosis. Fifteen patients with minor vessel injuries were treated with arterial embolization. Vessels embolized were subclavian artery branches (four), external carotid artery and branches (seven) and vertebral arteries (four). Successful embolization was accomplished in ten of 15 patients. Conclusion Endovascular therapy is a promising alternative to surgery for selected patients with cervicothoracic arteriovenous fistula.
