Cancerous colonic polyps. "Hands on" or "hands off?"

Management of the malignant colonic polyp remains a subject for debate even after almost two decades of experience. Some researchers believe all patients should have a colonic resection; others argue that only certain cases call for laparotomy, while still others hold for a selective approach but with varying criteria. Therefore, a survey has been made of current practice and opinion from the time colonoscopic polypectomy was introduced in 1969 to the present. The authors have reviewed a sizable segment of their experience, dividing cases of malignant polyps into two broad categories: those in which complete polypectomy was followed by bowel resection; and those undergoing polypectomy alone. The determinants leading to one course or the other were analyzed, as were the results.     

Face off?

In this article we focus on the emotional basis of face perception. In addition, the most important findings concerning epidemiology and etiology of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) will be reviewed and related to face perception. BDD can be seen as an emotional disorder in which fundamental errors in terms of information processing, especially concerning faces occur. Emotional information is misinterpreted. Both, emotional misinterpretation as well as errors in face perception and recognition are part of the disorder. The relevance of BDD respective to esthetic surgery is discussed. Alternative options for patients such as psychotherapy or pharmacotherapy for this disorder are also related to.

Soak the cast off

Plaster of Paris cast is still the most common form of external splintage used in orthopaedics. It is usually removed by cutting it with an electric oscillating saw. The noise created by this instrument and the sight of the blade can both be frightening, particularly for young children. As Plaster of Paris gets soft with water, soaking it to remove plaster in children is a good option, particularly neonates treated by serial casting for clubfeet. Our experience with this method was very encouraging. There were no failures. Most patients or parents of neonates were satisfied and happy to remove the plaster at home. Average time taken to remove the plaster was 25 minutes.

Is your vaporizer off?

We found that both variable bypass (Tec-type) and measured flow (Kettle type) vaporizers that nominally are turned off may permit anesthetic to leak into the bypass or the diluent stream. The contamination ranges from 1 to 3,300 parts per million of halothane (0.0001 to 0.33 percent). It appears to result either from diffusion of agent from the liquid reservoir into the bypass or diluent stream or from a reservoir in the piping connecting vaporizer to the diluent stream.     

Flexibility of sagittal imbalance based off preoperative imaging

Correction of sagittal imbalance is a major goal of spinal deformity surgery. Sagittal imbalance is broadly categorized as flexible or rigid/fixed, but distinguishing between flexible and rigid can be difficult. Flexibility is important because rigid deformities often require osteotomies to achieve the desired correction. The authors present a review of current literature on the topic of flexibility of sagittal imbalance based on preoperative imaging, to help surgeons better understand what surgical techniques may be required to correct the patient's deformity and thus better prepare themselves and their patients for surgery.
