    Abstract: The impact of cup-feeding or bottle-feeding on weight gain, oxygen saturation, and breastfeeding rates of preterm infantswas studied in 34 bottle-fed and 44 cup-fed preterm infants. At initiation of oral feeding, postconceptional age and weight were 37.2 ± 2.2 weeks and 1676 ± 83 g for the bottle-fed group (BF) and 37.0 ± 1.6 weeks and 1637 ± 40 g for the cup-fed (CF) group, respectively. No significant differences between groups were found with regard to time spent feeding, feeding problems, weight gain, or breastfeeding prevalence at discharge or at 3-month follow-up. Possible beneficial effects of cup-feeding were lower incidence of desaturation episodes (13.6% vs 35.3%, CF vs BF, P= .024) and a higher prevalence of breastfeeding at 3 months among those still breastfeeding at the first follow-up visit (68.4% vs 33.3%, CF vs BF, P= .04).

    Abstract: To determine whether surge conditions were associated with increased mortality. Design Multicenter cohort study. Setting U.S. ICUs participating in STOP-COVID. Patients Consecutive adults with COVID-19 admitted to participating ICUs between March 4 and July 1, 2020. Interventions None Measurements and Main Results The main outcome was 28-day in-hospital mortality. To assess the association between admission to an ICU during a surge period and mortality, we used two different strategies: (1) an inverse probability weighted difference-in-differences model limited to appropriately matched surge and non-surge patients and (2) a meta-regression of 50 multivariable difference-in-differences models (each based on sets of randomly matched surge- and non-surge hospitals). In the first analysis, we considered a single surge period for the cohort (March 23 – May 6). In the second, each surge hospital had its own surge period (which was compared to the same time periods in matched non-surge hospitals). Our cohort consisted of 4342 ICU patients (average age 60.8 [sd 14.8], 63.5% men) in 53 U.S. hospitals. Of these, 13 hospitals encountered surge conditions. In analysis 1, the increase in mortality seen during surge was not statistically significant (odds ratio [95% CI] : 1.30 [0.47-3.58], p = .6). In analysis 2, surge was associated with an increased odds of death (odds ratio 1.39 [95% CI, 1.34-1.43] , p  〈  .001). Conclusions Admission to an ICU with COVID-19 in a hospital that is experiencing surge conditions may be associated with an increased odds of death. Given the high incidence of COVID-19, such increases would translate into substantial excess mortality.

    Abstract: We compared the effectiveness of physiotherapy and corticosteroid injection treatment in the management of mild trigger fingers. Mild trigger fingers are those with mild crepitus, uneven finger movements and actively correctable triggering. This is a single-centred, prospective, block randomized study with 74 patients; 39 patients for steroid injection and 35 patients for physiotherapy. The study duration was from Jun 2009 until August 2010. Evaluation was done at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months post-treatment. At 3 months, the success rate (absence of pain and triggering) for those receiving steroid injection was 97.4% and physiotherapy 68.6%. The group receiving steroid injection also had lower pain score, higher rate of satisfaction, stronger grip strength and early recovery to near normal function (findings were all significant, p  〈  0.05). At 6 months, only those who were successfully treated were further questioned on recurrence (presence of pain and triggering). Those who received corticosteroid injections had a significant recurrence rate of pain but not triggering. The physiotherapy group had no recurrence of pain or triggering due to the type of triggering responsive to physiotherapy or possibly due to awareness of physiotherapy exercises. Perhaps they were able to institute self-treatment on early onset of symptoms of trigger fingers. We conclude that corticosteroid injection has a better outcome compared to physiotherapy in the treatment of mild trigger fingers but physiotherapy may have a role in prevention of recurrence.

    Incidence and clinical outcomes of perforations during mechanical thrombectomy for medium vessel occlusion in acute ischemic stroke: A retrospective, multicenter, and multinational study
    SAGE Publications ; 2024
    In:  European Stroke Journal
    Details
    In: European Stroke Journal, SAGE Publications
    Abstract: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) has revolutionized the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) due to large vessel occlusion (LVO), but its efficacy and safety in medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) remain less explored. This multicenter, retrospective study aims to investigate the incidence and clinical outcomes of vessel perforations (confirmed by extravasation during an angiographic series) during MT for AIS caused by MeVO. Methods: Data were collected from 37 academic centers across North America, Asia, and Europe between September 2017 and July 2021. A total of 1373 AIS patients with MeVO underwent MT. Baseline characteristics, procedural details, and clinical outcomes were analyzed. Results: The incidence of vessel perforation was 4.8% (66/1373). Notably, our analysis indicates variations in perforation rates across different arterial segments: 8.9% in M3 segments, 4.3% in M2 segments, and 8.3% in A2 segments ( p = 0.612). Patients with perforation had significantly worse outcomes, with lower rates of favorable angiographic outcomes (TICI 2c-3: 23% vs 58.9%, p 〈 0.001; TICI 2b-3: 56.5% vs 88.3%, p 〈 0.001). Functional outcomes were also worse in the perforation group (mRS 0–1 at 3 months: 22.7% vs 36.6%, p = 0.031; mRS 0–2 at 3 months: 28.8% vs 53.9%, p 〈 0.001). Mortality was higher in the perforation group (30.3% vs 16.8%, p = 0.008). Conclusion: This study reveals that while the occurrence of vessel perforation in MT for AIS due to MeVO is relatively rare, it is associated with poor functional outcomes and higher mortality. The findings highlight the need for increased caution and specialized training in performing MT for MeVO. Further prospective research is required for risk mitigation strategies.

    Abstract: Complete congenital arhinia is a rare defect of embryogenesis leading to the absence of the external nose and airway. We report our novel multistaged reconstructive approach and literature review. Nasal methyl methacrylate prosthesis was created from a stereolithographic model for use as a temporary prosthesis and tissue expander. Lefort 1 with cannulization was utilized for midface advancement and airway formation. External framework was reconstructed with bilateral conchal bowl cartilage and rib osteocartilagenous grafts. Patient was pleased with the aesthetics and had safe decannulation with the ability to breathe through the nose and airway.

    Abstract: The present study was performed to explore the range of effects of amino acid-based peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions on glucoregulatory hormones in comparison with an osmotically equivalent glucose-based solution. Methods 13 adult nondiabetic patients on PD underwent 2 peritoneal dwells of 2 hours’ duration with either 1.5% dextrose solution or 1.1% amino acid solution. Serial sampling for glucoregulatory hormones was done throughout the duration of the dwell. Results Instillation of the 1.5% dextrose solution resulted in a modest change in plasma glucose, paralleled by a small increase in plasma insulin levels and plasma insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1). Plasma glucagon was not changed and plasma growth hormone level declined. Instillation of the 1.1% amino acid solution resulted in an increase in plasma glucose, plasma insulin, plasma glucagon, and plasma IGF-1. Plasma growth hormone level declined. Both solutions led to an increase in plasma norepinephrine but no changes were observed in epinephrine or dopamine. Conclusions Our observations suggest that the mere replacement of glucose by amino acids in PD solutions does not necessarily imply “glucose sparing” from the perspective of induction of a glucoregulatory hormonal response because of the aminogenic stimulation of secretion of multiple hormones.

    Identifying Anomalies of Systemic Venous Drainage: Systemic Venous Anomalies; Atrial Morphology
    SAGE Publications ; 2023

    Abstract: So as to produce totally anomalous systemic venous connection, all of the systemic venous tributaries, along with the coronary sinus, should be connected with the morphologically left atrium. Previous descriptions of this rare constellation of anomalous connections of the systemic venous tributaries of the heart have been compromised by the inclusion of individuals having isomeric atrial appendages. In these settings, most frequently, the totally, or almost totally, anomalous systemic venous connections are associated with a sinus venosus defect. It is the anomalous pulmonary venous connections that then create a venovenous bridge, which permits the systemic venous tributaries to drain into the morphologically left atrium, even though they may be predominantly connected to the right atrium. More rarely, it is feasible for the primary atrial septum to develop so as to leave the systemic venous sinus in direct connection with the body of the morphologically left, rather than the morphologically right, atrium. We report a series of patients potentially falling into the category of anomalous systemic venous connections. The findings show a spectrum from partially to totally anomalous connections, with some better interpreted on the basis of anomalous drainage. Included in our cases, nonetheless, is an autopsied example of totally anomalous systemic venous connection produced by an abnormal location of the primary atrial septum. We discuss the potential morphogenesis for this finding. We emphasize the distinction that needs to be made between anomalous systemic venous connections and anomalous systemic venous drainage.

    Abstract: Lebanon has one of the highest estimated age-standardized incidence rate (ASR(w)) of bladder cancer (BC) worldwide. The aim of this study is to analyze the incidence rates for BC in Lebanon over a period of 7 years and to compare them to the rates in other countries. Data were obtained from the Lebanese National Cancer Registry for the currently available years 2005 to 2011. The calculated ASR(w) and age-specific rates were expressed as per 100 000 population. From 2005 to 2011, BC has been ranked as the third most common cancer in Lebanon. It accounted for 9.0% of all newly diagnosed cancer cases excluding nonmelanoma skin cancer. It ranked second in males and ninth in females. The average ASR(w) over this period was 31.2 in men and 7.3 in women. These incidence rates are among the highest worldwide across all age groups in both sexes. This study shows that the incidence of BC in Lebanon is high and it is among the highest worldwide. It is important to reduce the risk of BC through tobacco control and by decreasing exposure to avoidable environmental and occupational risk factors.
