Background

A recent case series suggested that surgery with wide-awake local anesthesia is tolerated well by most foot and ankle patients. However, patients were assessed retrospectively and there was no comparison group to show the relative efficacy of this approach. The present study was conducted to address these concerns.

Methods

Perioperative pain and anxiety were assessed in 40 patients receiving forefoot surgery using either wide-awake local anesthesia or general anesthesia. Ratings were collected on the day of surgery using 11-point (0–10) numerical rating scales.

Results

Patients in the two anesthesia groups reported no differences in preoperative pain (p = 0.500) or anxiety (p = 0.820). Patients who received wide-awake local anesthesia reported lower levels of postoperative pain (p < 0.001) and anxiety (p < 0.001) than patients who received general anesthesia. They also reported little pain (M = 0.17, SD = 0.32) or anxiety (M = 1.33, SD = 1.74) during the operation.

Conclusions

Results indicate that surgery with wide-awake local anesthesia is tolerated well by most patients, and that it may have some benefit compared to surgery with general anesthesia.  相似文献

Background

Mutations in DNA repair genes are associated with aggressive prostate cancer (PCa).

Objective

To assess whether germline mutations are associated with grade reclassification (GR) in patients undergoing active surveillance (AS).

Design, setting, and participants

Two independent cohorts of PCa patients undergoing AS; 882 and 329 patients from Johns Hopkins and North Shore, respectively.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Germline DNA was sequenced for DNA repair genes, including BRCA1/2 and ATM (three-gene panel). Pathogenicity of mutations was defined according to the American College of Medical Genetics guidelines. Association of mutation carrier status and GR was evaluated by a competing risk analysis.

Results and limitations

Of 1211, 289 patients experienced GR; 11 of 26 with mutations in a three-gene panel and 278 of 1185 noncarriers; adjusted hazard ratio (HR) = 1.96 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.004–3.84, p = 0.04). Reclassification occurred in six of 11 carriers of BRCA2 mutations and 283 of 1200 noncarriers; adjusted HR = 2.74 (95% CI = 1.26–5.96, p = 0.01). The carrier rates of pathogenic mutations in the three-gene panel, and BRCA2 alone, were significantly higher in those reclassified (3.8% and 2.1%, respectively) than in those not reclassified (1.6% and 0.5%, respectively; p = 0.04 and 0.03, respectively). Carrier rates for BRCA2 were greater for those reclassified from Gleason score (GS) 3 + 3 at diagnosis to GS ≥4 + 3 (4.1% vs 0.7%, p = 0.01) versus GS 3 + 4 (2.1% vs 0.6%; p = 0.03). Results are limited by the small number of mutation carriers and an intermediate end point.

Conclusions

Mutation status of BRCA1/2 and ATM is associated with GR among men undergoing AS.

Patient summary

Men on active surveillance with inherited mutations in BRCA1/2 and ATM are more likely to harbor aggressive prostate cancer.  相似文献

Background

Hypothermia occurs in up to 20% of perioperative patients. Systematic postoperative temperature monitoring is not a standard of care in Brazil and there are few publications about temperature recovery in the postoperative care unit.

Design and setting

Multicenter, observational, cross‐sectional study, at Hospital de Base do Distrito Federal and Hospital Materno Infantil de Brasília.

Methods

At admission and discharge from postoperative care unit, patients undergoing elective or urgent surgical procedures were evaluated according to tympanic temperature, vital signs, perioperative adverse events, and length of stay in postoperative care unit and length of hospital stay.

Results

78 patients, from 18 to 85 years old, were assessed. The incidence of temperatures <36 °C at postoperative care unit admission was 69.2%. Spinal anesthesia (p < 0.0001), cesarean section (p = 0.03), and patients who received morphine (p = 0.005) and sufentanil (p = 0.003) had significantly lower temperatures through time. During postoperative care unit stay, the elderly presented a greater tendency to hypothermia and lower recovery ability from this condition when compared to young patients (p < 0.001). Combined anesthesia was also associated to higher rates of hypothermia, followed by regional and general anesthesia alone (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

In conclusion, this pilot study showed that perioperative hypothermia is still a prevalent problem in our anesthetic practice. More than half of the analyzed patients presented hypothermia through postoperative care unit admission. We have demonstrated the feasibility of a large, multicenter, cross‐sectional study of postoperative hypothermia in the post‐anesthetic care unit.  相似文献

Background

There are limited data examining the risk of prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Objective

To compare the incidence of PCa between men with and those without IBD.

Design, setting, and participants

This was a retrospective, matched-cohort study involving a single academic medical center and conducted from 1996 to 2017. Male patients with IBD (cases = 1033) were randomly matched 1:9 by age and race to men without IBD (controls = 9306). All patients had undergone at least one prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening test.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, stratified by age and race, evaluated the relationship between IBD and the incidence of any PCa and clinically significant PCa (Gleason grade group ≥2). A mixed-effect regression model assessed the association of IBD with PSA level.

Results and limitations

PCa incidence at 10 yr was 4.4% among men with IBD and 0.65% among controls (hazard ratio [HR] 4.84 [3.34–7.02] [3.19–6.69], p < 0.001). Clinically significant PCa incidence at 10 yr was 2.4% for men with IBD and 0.42% for controls (HR 4.04 [2.52–6.48], p < 0.001). After approximately age 60, PSA values were higher among patients with IBD (fixed-effect interaction of age and patient group: p = 0.004). Results are limited by the retrospective nature of the analysis and lack of external validity.

Conclusions

Men with IBD had higher rates of clinically significant PCa when compared with age- and race-matched controls.

Patient summary

This study of over 10 000 men treated at a large medical center suggests that men with inflammatory bowel disease may be at a higher risk of prostate cancer than the general population.  相似文献

Background

This study aimed to identify the relationship between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) BsmI gene polymorphism and risk factors, surgical outcome and prognosis of hallux valgus (HV).

Methods

A case-control study was performed on a cohort of 236 HV patients and 236 controls in a Chinese Han population. Detection of the VDR BsmI/G2A polymorphism was performed using restriction fragment length polymorphism–polymerase chain reaction.

Results

We detected a statistically significant difference in the allele distribution of the BsmI polymorphism between cases and controls (p < 0.01). Significant loss of hallux valgus angle (HVA) and intermetatarsal angle (IMA) correction was only noted in patients with the bb genotype during the 2-year follow-up period (p < 0.01). The average American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores at the 2-year follow-up were decreased in both groups when compared with those at the 6 month follow-up, and 1.45 points more decrease in patients with the bb genotype was observed as compared to those with the BB and Bb genotypes (p < 0.0001). The average visual analogue scales (VAS) also had the tendency with more pains in the bb genotype group (p < 0.0001). Furthermore, larger numbers of transfer metatarsalgia were found in patients with the bb genotype upon 2-year follow-up (p = 0.049).

Conclusions

We report the first candidate gene polymorphism associated with susceptibility, surgical outcome and prognosis of HV in a Chinese Han population. Moreover, development of genetically-based method to predict the surgical outcome accurately and individualized therapy for HV are warranted.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was the translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Achilles Tendon Total Rupture Score (ATRS) in Greek population.

Methods

The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original version of ATRS in Greek language was performed according to the methodology described by Beaton et al. Validation and test–retest reliability were evaluated in forty-six patients, treated surgically for acute Achilles tendon rupture. Validity was evaluated by correlation of total and all subscale scores of Greek version of Manchester Foot Pain and Disability Index (MFPDI). Test–retest reliability evaluated with interclass correlation coefficient and Crombach’s α coefficient was used for internal consistency.

Results

The internal consistency (α = 0.96) and test–retest reliability (ICC = 0.97) were excellent. There were no ceiling and floor effects during test–retest assessment. The Greek version of ATRS showed strong correlation with all subscales and overall score of MFPDI (pain subscale: R = ?0.954, p < 0.01, function subscale: R = ?0.811, p < 0.01, appearance subscale: R = ?0.763, p < 0.01, overall: R = ?0.914, p < 0.01).

Conclusions

Greek version of ATRS was successfully adapted in Greek population and it appears to be a valid and reliable instrument to evaluate outcomes in Greek speaking patients after Achilles tendon rupture.

Background

Non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) has a significant risk of recurrence despite adjuvant intravesical therapy.

Objective

To determine whether celecoxib, a cyclo-oxygenase 2 inhibitor, reduces the risk of recurrence in NMIBC patients receiving standard treatment.

Design, setting, and participants

BOXIT (CRUK/07/004, ISRCTN84681538) is a double-blinded, phase III, randomised controlled trial. Patients aged ≥18 yr with intermediate- or high-risk NMIBC were accrued across 51 UK centres between 1 November 2007 and 23 July 2012.

Intervention

Patients were randomised (1:1) to celecoxib 200 mg twice daily or placebo for 2 yr. Patients with intermediate-risk NMIBC were recommended to receive six weekly mitomycin C instillations; high-risk NMIBC cases received six weekly bacillus Calmette-Guérin and maintenance therapy.

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

The primary endpoint was time to disease recurrence. Analysis was by intention to treat.

Results and limitations

A total of 472 patients were randomised (236:236). With median follow-up of 44 mo (interquartile range: 36–57), 3-yr recurrence-free rate (95% confidence interval) was as follows: celecoxib 68% (61–74%) versus placebo 64% (57–70%; hazard ratio [HR] 0.82 [0.60–1.12], p = 0.2). There was no difference in high-risk (HR 0.77 [0.52–1.15], p = 0.2) or intermediate-risk (HR 0.90 [0.55–1.48], p = 0.7) NMIBC. Subgroup analysis suggested that time to recurrence was longer in pT1 NMIBC patients treated with celecoxib compared with those receiving placebo (HR 0.53 [0.30–0.94], interaction test p = 0.04). The 3-yr progression rates in high-risk patients were low: 10% (6.5–17%) and 9.7% (6.0–15%) in celecoxib and placebo arms, respectively. Incidence of serious cardiovascular events was higher in celecoxib (5.2%) than in placebo (1.7%) group (difference +3.4% [–0.3% to 7.2%], p = 0.07).

Conclusions

BOXIT did not show that celecoxib reduces the risk of recurrence in intermediate- or high-risk NMIBC, although celecoxib was associated with delayed time to recurrence in pT1 NMIBC patients. The increased risk of cardiovascular events does not support the use of celecoxib.

Patient summary

Celecoxib was not shown to reduce the risk of recurrence in intermediate- or high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), although celecoxib was associated with delayed time to recurrence in pT1 NMIBC patients. The increased risk of cardiovascular events does not support the use of celecoxib.  相似文献

Background

Guidelines advise multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) before repeat biopsy in patients with negative systematic biopsy (SB) and a suspicion of prostate cancer (PCa), enabling MRI targeted biopsy (TB). No consensus exists regarding which of the three available techniques of TB should be preferred.

Objective

To compare detection rates of overall PCa and clinically significant PCa (csPCa) for the three MRI-based TB techniques.

Design, setting, and participants

Multicenter randomised controlled trial, including 665 men with prior negative SB and a persistent suspicion of PCa, conducted between 2014 and 2017 in two nonacademic teaching hospitals and an academic hospital.

Intervention

All patients underwent 3-T mpMRI evaluated with Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) version 2. If imaging demonstrated PIRADS ≥3 lesions, patients were randomised 1:1:1 for one TB technique: MRI-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion TB (FUS-TB), cognitive registration TRUS TB (COG-TB), or in-bore MRI TB (MRI-TB).

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

Primary (overall PCa detection) and secondary (csPCa detection [Gleason score ≥3 + 4]) outcomes were compared using Pearson chi-square test.

Results and limitations

On mpMRI, 234/665 (35%) patients had PIRADS ≥3 lesions and underwent TB. There were no significant differences in the detection rates of overall PCa (FUS-TB 49%, COG-TB 44%, MRI-TB 55%, p = 0.4). PCa detection rate differences were ?5% between FUS-TB and MRI-TB (p = 0.5, 95% confidence interval [CI] ?21% to 11%), 6% between FUS-TB and COG-TB (p = 0.5, 95% CI ?10% to 21%), and ?11% between COG-TB and MRI-TB (p = 0.17, 95% CI ?26% to 5%). There were no significant differences in the detection rates of csPCa (FUS-TB 34%, COG-TB 33%, MRI-TB 33%, p > 0.9). Differences in csPCa detection rates were 2% between FUS-TB and MRI-TB (p = 0.8, 95% CI ?13% to 16%), 1% between FUS-TB and COG-TB (p > 0.9, 95% CI ?14% to 16%), and 1% between COG-TB and MRI-TB (p > 0.9, 95% CI ?14% to 16%). The main study limitation was a low rate of PIRADS ≥3 lesions on mpMRI, causing underpowering for primary outcome.

Conclusions

We found no significant differences in the detection rates of (cs)PCa among the three MRI-based TB techniques.

Patient summary

In this study, we compared the detection rates of (aggressive) prostate cancer among men with prior negative biopsies and a persistent suspicion of cancer using three different techniques of targeted biopsy based on magnetic resonance imaging. We found no significant differences in the detection rates of (aggressive) prostate cancer among the three techniques.  相似文献

Background

We report our experience with the Minimally Invasive Chevron Akin (MICA) technique for correcting hallux valgus, and evaluate its effectiveness and associated complications.

Methods

Case series of 13 feet with mild to moderate symptomatic hallux valgus treated surgically from July 2013 to December 2014, with at least 48-months follow-up. Patients were assessed pre-operatively and post-operatively with radiographical measurements (Hallux Valgus Angle (HVA) and Intermetatarsal Angle (IMA)) and clinical scores (American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS), 36-Item Short Form Health Survery (SF-36), Visual Analog Scale (VAS)).

Results

Mean HVA and IMA decreased from 30.4° and 13.9°–10.9° and 10.2° respectively (p < 0.05). The mean AOFAS score improved from an average of 59.0–93.7 (p < 0.05). All patients reported a VAS score of 0 post-operatively, and the 4 SF-36 domains improved significantly (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

The MICA technique is a safe and effective method in the surgical correction of mild to moderate hallux valgus deformity, and continued use is justified.  相似文献

Background

The purpose of this study was to investigate the test–retest reliability of the Phi angle in patients undergoing total ankle replacement (TAR) for end stage ankle osteoarthritis (OA) to assess the rotational alignment of the talar component.

Methods

Retrospective observational cross-sectional study of prospectively collected data. Post-operative anteroposterior radiographs of the foot of 170 patients who underwent TAR for the ankle OA were evaluated. Three physicians measured Phi on the 170 randomly sorted and anonymized radiographs on two occasions, one week apart (test and retest conditions), inter and intra-observer agreement were evaluated.

Results

Test-retest reliability of Phi angle measurement was excellent for patients with Hintegra TAR (ICC = 0.995; p < 0.001) and Zimmer TAR (ICC = 0.995; p < 0.001) on radiographs of subjects with ankle OA. There were no significant differences in the reliability of the Phi angle measurement between patients with Hintegra vs. Zimmer implants (p > 0.05).

Conclusions

Measurement of Phi angle on weight-bearing dorsoplantar radiograph showed an excellent reliability among orthopaedic surgeons in determining the position of the talar component in the axial plane.Level of evidence: Level II, cross sectional study.  相似文献

Context

The optimal treatment of urothelial bladder cancer (UBC) with micropapillary (MP) variant histology is not clear.

Objective

To review the current literature on disease characteristics and treatment outcomes of MP UBC.

Evidence acquisition

A systematic search was performed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement and the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. The primary end points were recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and overall survival (OS).

Evidence synthesis

We identified 758 reports comprising a total of 3154 patients, of which 28 and 15 articles were selected for qualitative and quantitative analysis, respectively. In patients with T1 MP UBC, the 5-yr CSS rates for early radical cystectomy (RC) ranged from 81% to 100%, while they were between 60% and 85% for transurethral resection of the bladder and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). In studies reporting on neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC), the rates of complete pathological response (ypT0) ranged from 11% to 55%. Nevertheless, the use of NAC did not improve RFS (hazard ratio [HR] 1.23, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.52–2.93, p = 0.6), CSS (HR 0.9, 95% CI 0.48–1.7, p = 0.8), or OS (HR 1.35, 95% CI 0.98–1.86, p = 0.1). Fifty-three percent (95% CI 43–63%) of patients who underwent RC alone had locally advanced disease (≥pT3), and 43% (95% CI 33–52%) were harbouring lymph node metastases. MP component at RC was not significantly associated with worse RFS (HR 1.25, 95% CI 0.88–1.78, p = 0.2), CSS (HR 0.96, 95% CI 0.57–1.6, p = 0.9), or OS (HR 1.20, 95% CI 0.88–1.62, p = 0.3) when adjusted for pathological features.

Conclusions

While MP UBC is associated with clinicopathological features of advanced disease, it is not associated with worse survival outcomes in patients undergoing RC. NAC results in pathological downstaging in a significant number of patients. Nevertheless, this does not translate into better survival outcomes. The optimal treatment of patients with cT1 remains controversial.

Patient summary

Our results suggest that micropapillary urothelial bladder cancer does not necessarily mandate different treatment algorithms. Nevertheless, each case should be discussed individually considering other clinicopathological factors.  相似文献

Background

The extent of lymph node dissection (LND) in bladder cancer (BCa) patients at the time of radical cystectomy may affect oncologic outcome.

Objective

To evaluate whether extended versus limited LND prolongs recurrence-free survival (RFS).

Design, setting, and participants

Prospective, multicenter, phase-III trial patients with locally resectable T1G3 or muscle-invasive urothelial BCa (T2-T4aM0).

Intervention

Randomization to limited (obturator, and internal and external iliac nodes) versus extended LND (in addition, deep obturator, common iliac, presacral, paracaval, interaortocaval, and para-aortal nodes up to the inferior mesenteric artery).

Outcome measurements and statistical analysis

The primary endpoint was RFS. Secondary endpoints included cancer-specific survival (CSS), overall survival (OS), and complications. The trial was designed to show 15% advantage of 5-yr RFS by extended LND.

Results and limitations

In total, 401 patients were randomized from February 2006 to August 2010 (203 limited, 198 extended). The median number of dissected nodes was 19 in the limited and 31 in the extended arm. Extended LND failed to show superiority over limited LND with regard to RFS (5-yr RFS 65% vs 59%; hazard ratio [HR] = 0.84 [95% confidence interval 0.58–1.22]; p = 0.36), CSS (5-yr CSS 76% vs 65%; HR = 0.70; p = 0.10), and OS (5-yr OS 59% vs 50%; HR = 0.78; p = 0.12). Clavien grade ≥3 lymphoceles were more frequently reported in the extended LND group within 90 d after surgery. Inclusion of T1G3 tumors may have contributed to the negative study result.

Conclusions

Extended LND failed to show a significant advantage over limited LND in RFS, CSS, and OS. A larger trial is required to determine whether extended compared with limited LND leads to a small, but clinically relevant, survival difference (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01215071).

Patient summary

In this study, we investigated the outcome in bladder cancer patients undergoing cystectomy based on the anatomic extent of lymph node resection. We found that extended removal of lymph nodes did not reduce the rate of tumor recurrence in the expected range.  相似文献

Background

This study aimed to report our institution’s experience in the treatment of chronic lateral ankle instability using the anterior half of the peroneus longus tendon (AHPLT) to reconstruct the lateral ligament.

Methods

This retrospective study included 32 consecutive patients with chronic lateral ankle instability who underwent surgery from January 2013 to December 2014. All patients had failed to resolve with conservative treatment. A total of 32 ankles underwent AHPLT transfer. Patients returned for a clinical and radiologic follow-up evaluation at an average of 28 (range, 24–35) months postoperatively. Outcomes were assessed by comparison of pre- and postoperative American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, visual analog scale pain scores, and Karlsson scores, and the radiographic assessment including talar tilt and anterior talar translation.

Results

Thirty-two patients (32 ankles) (100%) returned for final evaluation. All patients had an excellent or good outcome on patient subjective self-assessment, pain scores, AOFAS scores, and Karlsson scores at final follow-up. Ankle range of motion was not affected by lateral ankle reconstruction. The talar tilt was significantly reduced from a preoperative mean of 14.1 ± 4.2° to 3.4 ± 1.3° postoperatively (P < .001), and the anterior drawer was significantly reduced from a preoperative mean of 13.8 ± 3.4 mm to 3.6 ± 1.5 mm after lateral ankle ligamentous reconstruction (P < .001).

Conclusions

AHPLT transfer to reconstruct the lateral ligament resulted in a high percentage of successful results, with excellent ankle stability and not affected of ankle motion.

Background

This study was performed to evaluate the intermediate-term clinical outcomes after proximal chevron osteotomy for hallux valgus in patients with generalized ligamentous laxity, and to determine the effect on postoperative recurrence of deformity.

Methods

There were 23 cases in laxity group (Beighton score ≥5 points) and 175 in non-laxity group with a mean followup of 46.3 months. Clinical evaluation consisted of the AOFAS score, Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), and radiographic measurement of hallux alignment. Risk factors associated with postoperative recurrence were evaluated using univariate analysis.

Results

Recurrence rates were 21.7% in the laxity group and 17.1% in non-laxity group (P = .218). There were no significant differences in clinical and radiographic measurements at final followup between the 2 groups. Preoperative HVA and IMA were found to be predictive factors of recurrence (OR = 6.3, 4.2; P = .001, .018, respectively).

Conclusion

There were no statistical differences in the clinical and radiographic outcomes between hallux valgus with and without generalized ligamentous laxity. Generalized ligamentous laxity demonstrated no definitive effects on postoperative recurrence of hallux valgus deformity.  相似文献

Introduction and objectives

There is no high-level evidence as to which primary treatment provides an overall survival (OS) or cancer-specific survival (CSS) advantage in high-risk localised prostate cancer (HRLPC).Our aim was to analyse the differences in survival and predictive factors in this group of patients, according to their primary treatment (radical prostatectomy (RP) or radiotherapy and androgen blockade (RT + HT)).

Material and methods

A retrospective study of 286 HRLPC patients diagnosed between 1996-2008, treated by RP (n = 145) or RT + HT(n = 141).Survival was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Significant differences between the different variables were analysed using the log-rank test. A uni and multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors.

Results

the median follow-up was 117.5 (IQR 87-158) months. The OS was longer (p = .04) in the RP patients, while there were no differences (P=.44) in CSS between either group.The type of primary treatment was not related to OS or CSS. Age (P=.002), the onset during follow-up of a 2 nd tumour (P=.0001), and stage cT3a (P=.009) behaved as independent predictive variables of OS. None of the variables behaved as an independent predictive variable of CSS, although biochemical recurrence after rescue treatment (P=.058), and the onset of a 2 nd tumour during follow-up showed a significant trend to statistical significance, the latter reducing specific cancer mortality (HR .16, 95%CI .02-1.18, P=.07).

Conclusions

Primary treatment did not relate to OS or CSS in patients with HRPC.  相似文献

Background

The number of screws used for sliding calcaneal osteotomy fixation has not been examined in the literature. The purpose of this paper is to examine this topic.

Methods

Retrospective chart review was performed on 190 patients who met selection criteria. We compared complication risk for single versus double screw, headed versus headless screw, and short versus longitudinal incision cases.

Results

The mean age was 48.4 (18–83) years and average follow up was 28 (12–150) weeks. All cases achieved radiographic union. Overall complication rate was 19.5% (37/190). Risk of complication did not differ significantly between single and double screw (RR: 1.170; 95% CI: 0.66–2.09; p = 0.594) or short and extended incision groups (RR: 0.868; 95% CI: 0.42–1.80; p = 0.704). Risk of complication differed significantly between headed and headless screw fixation (RR: 5.558; 95% CI: 2.69–11.50; p < 0.0001).

Conclusions

Single screw fixation of sliding calcaneal osteotomy achieves similar outcomes as double screw fixation. Headless screws are advantageous for minimizing hardware pain and subsequent hardware removal.  相似文献

Background and objective

Thoracic paravertebral blockade is an alternative regional technique for comforting post‐thoracotomy pain, thereby decreasing opioid consumption, postoperative nausea and vomiting, dizziness, respiratory depression and health care costs. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of bupivacaine and bupivacaine plus dexmedetomidine on postoperative pain score and analgesic consumption in thoracotomy patients who had undergone ultrasonography‐guided paravertebral blockade.

Material and method

93 ASA I–II patients aged 18–65 years were included in the study and scheduled for thoracic surgery. Prior to anesthesia induction, the paravertebral blockade procedure was performed by an anesthetist with ultrasonography. Cases were randomly stratified into three groups. The paravertebral blockade procedure was performed with 20 mL 0.5% bupivacaine injection in Group B (n = 31) and 20 mL 0.5% bupivacaine + 1 mL dexmedetomidine (100 μg) injection in Group BD. Group C received postoperative i.v. morphine via patient‐controlled analgesia without paravertebral blockade. Post‐operative pain scores were recorded in the recovery room and post‐operatively using a VAS. Hemodynamic parameters, adverse effects and morphine consumption were also recorded.

Results

No significant difference was determined between Group B and Group C regarding intra‐operative adverse effects such as bradicardia and hypotension, while these adverse effects were significantly higher in Group BD (p = 0.04). VAS scores with rest and upon movement were significantly lower in Group BD compared to Group C (p < 0.001). Total morphine consumption was significantly lower in both Group B and Group BD in comparison with Group C (p < 0.001). In Group BD, HR and MAP were lower, but this was not clinically significant (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

The addition of dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine lowers postoperative pain scores and morphine consumption in thoracotomy patients who receive ultrasonography guided paravertebral blockade.  相似文献

A retrospective analysis of patients with stage pT3apN0cM0 kidney cancer treated with radical nephrectomy between 1990-2015. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis to identify predictive variables and independent predictive variables relating to recurrence.

Results

The results of 153 patients were studied. The median follow-up was 82 (IQR 36-117) months. Recurrence-free survival at 5 years was 58.9% with a median of 97 (95% CI 49.9-144.1) months. Seventy-seven (50.3%) patients recurred. Seventy cases 70 (90.9%) had distant metastases, 17 (14.2%) of these patients had local recurrence in the bed of nephrectomy. Tumour necrosis (p = .0001), and microvascular invasion (p = .001) were identified as independent predictors of tumour recurrence in the multivariable analysis.

Conclusions

In our series, after multivariable analysis, venous tumour extension was not related to recurrence. Tumour necrosis and microvascular infiltration did behave as independent predictive factors of tumour recurrence.  相似文献

Background and objectives

Gabapentin is an antiepileptic drug. Widely used for the management of neuropathic pain. Although it is known to be well tolerated, somnolence and dizziness are the most frequent adverse effects. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of melatonin on daytime sleepiness side effect of gabapentin, sleep quality and pain intensity of patients with neuropathic pain.

Methods

Patients suffering from “neuropathic pain” and planed to receive gabapentin therapy were randomly divided into two groups. Group 1 received melatonin 3 mg and gabapentin 900 mg orally, group 2 received matching placebo capsule and gabapentin 900 mg. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale, the Pittsburgh sleep quality index for assessment of sleep quality and Verbal Rating Scale were completed at the 0 th, 10th and 30th days of treatment. Additive analgesic drug requirements were recorded.

Results

Eighty patients were enrolled to the study; age, gender, ratio of additive analgesic consumption, baseline Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburg Sleep Quality index and Verbal Rating Scale scores were similar between the groups. Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores, Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores and Verbal Rating Scale scores in Group 1 were significantly lower than group 2 at the 10th day of treatment (p = 0.002, p = 0.003, p = 0.002 respectively). At the 30th day of treatment, Epworth Sleepiness Scale scores and Verbal Rating Scale scores were significantly lower in Group 1 (p = 0.002, p = 0.008 respectively). However, Pittsburgh sleep quality index scores did not significantly differ between the groups (p = 0.0566).

Conclusions

Melatonin supplementation rapidly and significantly improved daytime sleepiness side‐effect of gabapentin, however sleep quality of the patients with neuropathic pain was similar between groups.  相似文献
