Abstract

Objectives The aims of this study were to describe the type, presentation and prognostic factors of feline humeral fractures over a 10-year period and to compare three stabilisation systems for feline humeral diaphyseal fractures. Methods In total, 101 cats with humeral fractures presenting to seven UK referral centres between 2009 and 2020 were reviewed. Data collected included signalment, weight at the time of surgery, fracture aetiology, preoperative presentation, fixation method, surgical details, perioperative management and follow-up examinations. Of these cases, 57 cats with humeral diaphyseal fractures stabilised using three different fixation methods were compared, with outcome parameters including the time to radiographic healing, time to function and complication rate. Results The majority of the fractures were diaphyseal (71%), with only 10% condylar. Of the known causes of fracture, road traffic accidents (RTAs) were the most common. Neutered males were over-represented in having a fracture caused by an RTA ( P = 0.001) and diaphyseal fractures were significantly more likely to result from an RTA ( P = 0.01). Body weight had a positive correlation ( r = 0.398) with time to radiographic healing and time to acceptable function ( r = 0.315), and was significant ( P = 0.014 and P = 0.037, respectively). Of the 57 humeral diaphyseal fractures; 16 (28%) were stabilised using a plate–rod construct, 31 (54%) using external skeletal fixation and 10 (18%) using bone plating and screws only. Open diaphyseal fractures were associated with more minor complications ( P = 0.048). There was a significant difference between fixation groups in terms of overall complication rate between groups ( P = 0.012). There was no significant difference between fixation groups in time to radiographic union ( P = 0.145) or time to acceptable function ( P = 0.306). Conclusions and relevance All three fixation systems were successful in healing a wide variety of humeral diaphyseal frac

Abstract

A 54-year-old man presented with a short-lived episode of blurred vision followed by collapse while shopping. There were no precipitating causes or preceding symptoms. He remained unconscious for less than 1 minute. He recovered sufficiently to continue shopping but presented to casualty 5 hours later with increasing breathlessness. His past medical history included renal colic and a left leg deep vein thrombosis associated with cellulitis 3 years before. His mother had suffered from premature ischaemic heart disease and had died from a pulmonary embolus 25 years before. He took no medication, drank little alcohol but smoked 25 cigarettes per day.

Abstract

Introduction: Heat adaptation is protective against heat illness; however, its role in heat syncope, due to reflex mechanisms, has not been conclusively established. The aim of this study was to evaluate if heat acclimation (HA) was protective against heat syncope and to ascertain underlying physiological mechanisms., Methods: Twenty (15 males, 5 females) endurance-trained athletes were randomized to either 8 d of mixed active and passive HA (HEAT) or climatically temperate exercise (CONTROL). Before, and after, the interventions participants underwent a head up tilt (HUT) with graded lower body negative pressure (LBNP), in a thermal chamber (32.0 ± 0.3°C), continued until presyncope with measurement of cardiovascular parameters. Heat stress tests (HST) were performed to determine physiological and perceptual measures of HA., Results: There was a significant increase in orthostatic tolerance (OT), as measured by HUT/LBNP, in the HEAT group (preintervention; 28 ± 9 min, postintervention; 40 ± 7 min) compared with CONTROL (preintervention; 30 ± 8 mins, postintervention; 33 ± 5 min) ( P = 0.01). Heat acclimation resulted in a significantly reduced peak and mean rectal and skin temperature ( P < 0.01), peak heat rate ( P < 0.003), thermal comfort ( P < 0.04), and rating of perceived exertion ( P < 0.02) during HST. There was a significantly increased plasma volume (PV) in the HEAT group in comparison to CONTROL ( P = 0.03)., Conclusions: Heat acclimation causes improvements in OT and is likely to be beneficial in patients with heat exacerbated reflex syncope. Heat acclimation-mediated PV expansion is a potential physiological mechanism underlying improved OT., (Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
