Abstract

Background: Radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation is the procedure of choice for the potential cure of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with high success rates. We hypothesed that as a result of the close proximity of Koch’s triangle and low inter-atrial septal fibers, the RF ablation applied at this region may result in prolongation of inter-atrial conduction time (IACT). Methods: RF ablation of AVNRT was performed by conventional technique. IACT was measured before and 20 minutes after RF ablation during sinus rhythm. Number of ablations given and duration of ablation were noted. Results: The study group was consisted of 48 patients (36 [75%] female, 12 [25%] male, mean age 43.4 ± 14. 5 years). RF ablation was successful in all patients. Mean RF time was 4. 0 ± 3. 3 minutes and mean number of RF was 11. 9 ± 9, 8. The mean IACT was 70.1 ± 9.0 ms before ablation and 84.9 ± 12.7 ms after ablation, which demonstrated a significant prolongation (p<0.001). The prolongation of IACT was very well correlated with the number of (r=0.897, p<0.001) and duration of RF (r=0.779; p<0.001). Conclusions: RF ablation of AVNRT results in prolongation of IACT. The degree of prolongation is associated with the duration and number of RF ablations given. The relationship between this conduction delay and late arrhythmogenesis need to be evaluated.

Abstract

Fournier's gangrene is a mortal surgical emergency characterized by rapidly spreading soft tissue necrosis between fascial planes in the perineum and genital area. The goal of treatment is early debridement of necrotic tissues to improve tissue oxygenation. In the treatment of this case, somatic oximetry monitoring, which is a non-invasive method, was applied in addition to hemodynamic monitoring to evaluate the effectiveness of fluids, antibiotics and debridements more closely. In the efficacy of the treatment, it was observed that rSO2 values correlated with other laboratory and follow-up parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Intracranial hypotension may occur after lumbar puncture, spinal anesthesia, and craniospinal trauma. Complications such as orthostatic headache, neck pain, photophobia, tinnitus, nausea, and diplopia are frequently seen in these patients. Complications such as air embolism and pneumocephalus can also be seen in the methods used to determine the epidural space. We aimed to present the postoperative complications and the process in our patient in whom we attempted to insert an epidural catheter to provide intraoperative anesthesia and postoperative analgesia in radical prostatectomy surgery.

Abstract

Purpose: In the critically ill, hospital-acquired bloodstream infections (HA-BSI) are associated with significant mortality. Granular data are required for optimizing management, and developing guidelines and clinical trials. Methods: We carried out a prospective international cohort study of adult patients (≥ 18years of age) with HA-BSI treated in intensive care units (ICUs) between June 2019 and February 2021. Results: 2600 patients from 333 ICUs in 52 countries were included. 78% HA-BSI were ICU-acquired. Median Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score was 8 [IQR 5; 11] at HA-BSI diagnosis. Most frequent sources of infection included pneumonia (26.7%) and intravascular catheters (26.4%). Most frequent pathogens were Gram-negative bacteria (59.0%), predominantly Klebsiella spp. (27.9%), Acinetobacter spp. (20.3%), Escherichia coli (15.8%), and Pseudomonas spp. (14.3%). Carbapenem resistance was present in 37.8%, 84.6%, 7.4%, and 33.2%, respectively. Difficult-to-treat resistance (DTR) waspresent in 23.5% and pan-drug resistance in 1.5%. Antimicrobial therapy was deemed adequate within 24h for 51.5%. Antimicrobial resistance was associated with longer delays to adequate antimicrobial therapy. Source control was needed in 52.5% but not achieved in 18.2%. Mortality was 37.1%, and only 16.1% had been discharged alivefrom hospital by day-28. Conclusions: HA-BSI was frequently caused by Gram-negative, carbapenem-resistant and DTR pathogens. Antimicrobial resistance led to delays in adequate antimicrobial therapy. Mortality was high, and at day-28 only a minority of the patients were discharged alive from the hospital. Prevention of antimicrobial resistance and focusing on adequate antimicrobial therapy and source control are important to optimize patient management and outcomes.

Abstract

The first section of this thesis discusses the role of stapling techniques in surgical practice. A prospective controlled clinical trial is described, where surgical stapling techniques were compared with conventional manual suturing techniques in the construction of gastrointestinal anastomoses. The following section deals with work on recurrence of colorectal cancer following surgical treatment. Two clinical studies are presented in this section, where "anastomotic techniques" and "anastomotic leaks" are examined respectively in relation to tumour recurrence. The final section of the thesis describes experimental studies in a rodent model, which were designed and conducted to investigate the association between anastomotic leaks and peri-anastomotic tumour growth. Suturing or stapling in gastrointestinal surgery Between April 1985 and April 1989 1,161 consecutive patients undergoing surgery under the care of 13 consultant surgeons throughout the West of Scotland and Highland regions were studied prospectively. All patients had operations that entailed the construction of a gastrointestinal anastomosis. If, at the time of surgery suturing and stapling techniques were considered equally appropriate, the method of anastomotic construction was determined by randomisation. Methods of data collection, bowel preparation, antibiotic prophylaxis, anastomotic materials and anastomotic techniques were standardised by the study protocol. Four hundred and ninety six patients received sutured and 508 received stapled anastomoses. In the remaining 157 patients randomisation was considered inappropriate. All patients were followed until death or discharge from the hospital. The incidence of clinically evident anastomotic dehiscence was 3. 3% in patients with sutured anatomoses, compared with 4.7% in the stapled group (p< 0.22). Sub-clinical (radiologically detected) leaks were encountered with a significantly higher frequency in the sutured group (14.4% versus 5.2%; p < 0.05). Surgical stapling also afforded significantly quicker anastomoses and operations (Mean anastomosis time + SEM: 28.1 +/-0.7 versus 14.3 +/-0.5 minutes, p< 0.001; Mean operating time +/-SEM: 115.5 +/-2.4 versus 103.9 +/-2.2 minutes, p <0.001). With regard to other important outcome measures such as operative mortality, incidence of infective complications, recovery of gastrointestinal function and duration of hospital stay, suturing and stapling techniques produced comparable results. Further detailed analyses are presented, where the randomised and non-randomised patients were stratified according to anastomotic technique and various surgical categories. These data are hoped to provide guidance to surgeons in their selection of anastomotic technique. Anastomotic techniques and recurrence of colorectal cancer Recently some concern has been expressed in the literature regarding a potential adverse influence on the recurrence of rectal cancer associated with the use of stapling techniques. Prompted by these reports, the effect of anastomotic technique on the incidence of recurrence following potentially curative resections was studied in 294 patients. One hundred and forty two of these patients had their anastomoses randomised to suturing and 152 to stapling. By the end of the second postoperative year the incidence of tumour recurrence (+/-SEM) was 29.4% (4.4%) in the sutured group, compared with 19.1% (3.9%) in the stapled group (p< 0.05). Cancer specific mortality was also significantly higher in patients with sutured anatomoses (22.3% +/-4.1% versus 10.9% +/-3.0% at 24 months, p< 0.01). Further analysis revealed that the influence of anastomotic technique on recurrence and mortality rates was independent of tumour stage and other co-variates. These results suggest that in patients undergoing potentially curative resections for colorectal cancer, the use of stapling instruments for anastomotic construction may be associated with a significant reduction in recurrence and cancer specific mortality rates compared with conventional manual suturing techniques. Potential explanations for this previously unreported observation are discussed.

37. Welfare issues in broiler chickens: overview.

Abstract

Development of quality welfare assessment protocols is a necessary step towards achieving high broiler welfare standards. Rapid growth rate and highly intensive commercial production systems have been highly associated with poor welfare indicated by mainly leg deformities, high stress levels and increased fear responses. Stress response in broilers is characterised by increased corticosterone and heterophil-to-lymphocyte ratio especially under heat stress, high light intensity, high stocking density, and an unenriched environment. Rearing environment, genotypes, high light intensity and human handling highly influence fear responses as proved during tonic immobility, open field, novel enrichment, and avoidance distance tests. Lameness which is usually visually assessed by a gait score scale remains an undisputable indicator of poor welfare in broiler production due to its effects on mobility and association with pain. Other leg problems including footpad dermatitis and hock burn also remain significant and they are highly associated with fast growth, high stocking density, poor litter quality, and poor or non-enriched production systems. Litter management and good ventilation are necessary to ensure good plumage conditions, reduction in ammonia emissions thereby promoting the well-being of broilers. Generally, broilers should be motivated and able to exhibit natural behaviours without straining including feeding, drinking, walking, and stretching thereby enhancing bird health, performance, production, and consumer satisfaction. Using a systematic approach, the important welfare parameters including stress, fear response, leg problems, plumage condition, environment, and behaviour are intensively discussed to explore the latest insights of broiler chickens' welfare.
