| 1 | 22-gauge core vs 22-gauge aspiration needle for endoscopic ultrasound-guided sampling of abdominal masses显示文摘AIM To compare the aspiration needle(AN) and core biopsy needle(PC) in endoscopic ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration(EUS-FNA) of abdominal masses.METHODS Consecutive patients referred for EUS-FNA were included in this prospective single-center trial. Each patient underwent a puncture of the lesion with both standard 22-gauge(G) AN(Echo Tip Ultra; Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana, United States) and the novel 22 G PC(Echo Tip Pro Core; Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana, United States) in a randomized fashion; histology was attempted in the PC group only. The main study endpoint was the overall diagnostic accuracy, including the contribution of histology to the final diagnosis. Secondary outcome measures included material adequacy, number of needle passes, and complications.RESULTS Fifty six consecutive patients(29 men; mean age 68 years) with pancreatic lesions(n = 38), lymphadenopathy(n = 13), submucosal tumors(n = 4), or others lesions(n = 1) underwent EUS-FNA using both of the needles in a randomized order. AN and PC reached similar overall results for diagnostic accuracy(AN: 88.9 vs PC: 96.1, P = 0.25), specimen adequacy(AN: 96.4% vs PC: 91.1%, P = 0.38), mean number of passes(AN: 1.5 vs PC: 1.7, P = 0.14), mean cellularity score(AN: 1.7 vs PC: 1.1, P = 0.058), and complications(none). A diagnosis on the basis of histology was achieved in the PC group in 36(64.3%) patients, and in 2 of those as the sole modality. In patients with available histology the mean cellularity score was higher for AN(AN: 1.7 vs PC: 1.0, P = 0.034); no other differences were of statistical significance.CONCLUSION Both needles achieved high overall diagnostic yields and similar performance characteristics for cytological diagnosis; histological analysis was only possible in 2/3 of cases with the new needle. | William Sterlacci Athanasios D Sioulas Lothar Veits Pervin G?nüllü Guido Schachschal Stefan Groth Mario Anders Christos K Kontos Theodoros Topalidis Andrea Hinsch Michael Vieth Thomas R?sch Ulrike W Denzer | 2016 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2016,22,39: | 2 |

| 15 | Single rod instrumentation in patients with scoliosis and comorbidities: Indications and outcomes显示文摘AIM To present our results on the use of a single rod instrumentation correction technique in a small number of patients with major medical co-morbidities.METHODS This study was a prospective single surgeon series. Patients were treated with single rod hybrid constructs and had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Indications included complex underlying co-morbidities, conversion of growing rods to definitive fusion, and moderate adolescent idiopathic primarily thoracic scoliosis with severe eczema and low body mass index(BMI).RESULTS We included 99 consecutive patients. Mean age at surgery was 12.8 years(SD 3.5 years). Mean scoliosis correction was 62%(SD 15%) from 73°(SD 22°) to 28°(SD 15°). Mean surgical time was 153 min(SD 34 min), and blood loss was 530 mL(SD 327 mL); 20% BV(SD 13%). Mean clinical and radiological follow-up was 3.2 years(range: 2-12) post-operatively. Complications included rod failure, which occurred in three of our complex patients with severe syndromic or congenital kyphoscoliosis(3%). Only one of these three patientsrequired revision surgery to address a non-union. Our revision rate was 2%(including a distal junctional kyphosis in a Marfan's syndrome patient).CONCLUSION The single rod technique has achieved satisfactory deformity correction and a low rate of complications in patients with specific indications and severe underlying medical conditions. In these children with significant co-morbidities, where the risks of scoliosis surgery are significantly increased, this technique has achieved low operative time, blood loss, and associated surgical morbidity. | Athanasios I Tsirikos Peter R Loughenbury | 2018 | World Journal of Orthopedics2018,9,9: | 1 |
| 16 | Registry report on prediction by Pocock cardiovascular score of cerebral microemboli acutely following carotid endarterectomy显示文摘background Cerebral microemboli may lead to ischaemic neurological complications after carotid endarterectomy(CEA).The association between classical cardiovascular risk factors and acute cerebral microemboli following carotid surgery has not been studied.The aim of this study was to explore whether an established cardiovascular risk score(Pocock score)predicts the presence of cerebral microemboli acutely after CEA.subjects and methods Pocock scores were assessed for the 670 patients from the Carotid Surgery Registry(age 71±1(SEM)years,474(71%)male,652(97%)Caucasian)managed from January 2002 to December 2012 in the Regional Vascular Centre at University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire NHS Trust,which serves a population of 950000.CEA was undertaken in 474(71%)patients for symptomatic carotid stenosis and in 196(25%)asymptomatic patients during the same period.74% of patients were hypertensive,71%were smokers and 49% had hypercholesterolaemia.results A high Pocock score(≥2.3%)was significantly associated with evidence of cerebral microemboli acutely following CEA(P=0.039,Mann-Whitney(MW)test).A Pocock score(≥2.3%)did not predict patients who required additional antiplatelet therapy(microemboli signal(MES)rate>50 hour-1:P=0.164,MW test).Receiver operating characteristic analysis also showed that the Pocock score predicts acute postoperative microemboli(area under the curve(AUC)0.546,95%CI 0.502 to 0.590,P=0.039)but not a high rate of postoperative microemboli(MES>50 hour−1:AUC 0.546,95% CI 0.482 to 0.610,P=0.164).A Pocock score≥2.3% showed a sensitivity of 74% for the presence of acute postoperative cerebral microemboli.A Pocock score≥2.3% also showed a sensitivity of 77% and a negative predictive value of 90% for patients who developed a high microembolic rate>50 hour−1 after carotid surgery.Conclusion These findings demonstrate that the Pocock score could be used as a clinical tool to identify patients at high risk of developing acute postoperative microemboli. | Mahmud Saedon Athanasios Saratzis Rachel W S Lee Charles E Hutchinson Christopher H E Imray Donald R J Singer | 2018 | Stroke & Vascular Neurology2018,3,3: | 1 |
