    Description: Erosion, sediment production, and routing on a tectonically active continental margin reflect both tectonic and climatic processes; partitioning the relative importance of these processes remains controversial. Gulf of Alaska contains a preserved sedimentary record of the Yakutat Terrane collision with North America. Because tectonic convergence in the coastal St. Elias orogen has been roughly constant for 6 My, variations in its eroded sediments preserved in the offshore Surveyor Fan constrain a budget of tectonic material influx, erosion, and sediment output. Seismically imaged sediment volumes calibrated with chronologies derived from Integrated Ocean Drilling Program boreholes show that erosion accelerated in response to Northern Hemisphere glacial intensification (∼2.7 Ma) and that the 900-km-long Surveyor Channel inception appears to correlate with this event. However, tectonic influx exceeded integrated sediment efflux over the interval 2.8–1.2 Ma. Volumetric erosion accelerated following the onset of quasi-periodic (∼100-ky) glacial cycles in the mid-Pleistocene climate transition (1.2–0.7 Ma). Since then, erosion and transport of material out of the orogen has outpaced tectonic influx by 50–80%. Such a rapid net mass loss explains apparent increases in exhumation rates inferred onshore from exposure dates and mapped out-of-sequence fault patterns. The 1.2-My mass budget imbalance must relax back toward equilibrium in balance with tectonic influx over the timescale of orogenic wedge response (millions of years). The St. Elias Range provides a key example of how active orogenic systems respond to transient mass fluxes, and of the possible influence of climate-driven erosive processes that diverge from equilibrium on the million-year scale.

    Notes: We have demonstrated stable and efficient 80 W cw TEM00 operation (M2=1.1) of a diode-side-pumped Nd:YAG rod laser. The laser has a simple and scalable configuration consisting of a diffusive pumping reflector and a polarization-dependent bifocusing compensation. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract Resection of a syphilitic aortic arch aneurysm in a 62-yearold woman was accomplished using a trifurcation temporary bypass system. The bifurcation graft was sutured end-to-side to the ascending thoracic aorta, to the brachiocephalic trunk and to the left common carotid artery, respectively. The attached third limb end was anastomosed end-to-side to the infrarenal abdominal aorta. This technique enabled a larger shunt into the abdominal aorta. Occlusion of the iliac arteries proved to be effective in coping with hypotension while attending to the bypass and the volume replacement. The post-operative recovery was uneventful and the patient has remained well after 43 months.

    Notes: Abstract From 1974 to 1976, four patients with juxtarenal aortic occlusion were operated upon with no surgical mortality. Thromboendarterectomy (TEA) of the aorta with renal revascularization was performed in one patient, and TEA with grafting in three. Intraoperative renal protection was particularly important, since suprarenal aortic clamping was often required in these cases. Possible renal embolism developed in one patient postoperatively. In order to prevent renal embolism and to minimize ischemic insult to the kidney, the value of the following procedures was stressed; (a) irrigation of aortic lumen with saline after TEA under suprarenal aortic clamping with renal arteries kept occluded, and (b) re-application of aortic clamp below the renal arteries after irrigation. Since the most distal level of occlusive process was the common femoral artery in our series, the patient with this desease entity should be treated more actively.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract A 15-year old female presented with bilateral popliteal artery entrapment syndrome. The left popliteal artery was completely occluded and thromboendarterectomy was performed. Angiography on passive dorsiflexion revealed compression of the right popliteal artery, although it was free of symptoms and of normal caliber. End-to-end anastomosis in the normal anatomical position without division of the medial head of the gastrocnemius muscle was performed on both sides.
