Three-dimensional assessment of urinary stone on non-contrast helical computed tomography as the predictor of stonestreet formation after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy for stones smaller than 20 mm

The incidence of stonestreet formation after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) rises with increasing stone burden. However, stonestreet after ESWL is often experienced even in stones smaller than 20 mm. To examine whether the non-contrast helical computed tomography (CT) data could predict stonestreet formation in these stones, 53 radiopaque stones of 5-20 mm treated with ESWL were evaluated. Maximal dimension was measured on plain radiograph. From an attenuation value histogram graphed from the CT data, total stone volume and mean attenuation value were calculated. Seven stonestreets longer than 25 mm developed. There was no significant difference in maximal dimension and total stone volume between stones that did and stones that did not develop stonestreet. Mean attenuation value was the sole significant predictive factor. Application of mean attenuation value with cut-off level of 650 HU would anticipate stonestreet formation with a sensitivity of 85.7% and a specificity of 71.7%. The estimated risk of stonestreet formation is high in the treatment of stones with higher mean attenuation value.     

Open rhinoplasty for treatment of nasal tip haemangioma

Haemangiomas are the most common tumours of infancy. They typically proliferate then involute with considerable variation as regards to their rates of proliferation and involution. Haemangioma of the nasal tip is a lesion of special characteristics. During proliferation, it expands, contracts and deviates the nasal cartilages. Particularly, it regresses slowly and frequently involutes incompletely. That is why excision of the lesion is frequently suggested. The present study was conducted to evaluate open rhinoplasty after initial non-excision treatment modalities namely, intra-lesional corticosteroid injections and laser treatment, as a protocol of treatment for nasal tip haemangiomas. Twelve patients with nasal tip haemangiomas were included in the present study. Patients of both sexes, of different ages, with deep and mixed haemangiomas were studied. Disfigurement was the constant presenting symptom. Initial non-excision treatment reported different responses as denoted by the regression of the lesions’ size. Haemangiomas constantly extended between the medial crura of the alar cartilages as noted by the constant widening of the columella pre-operatively and the obvious separation of the nasal cartilages intra-operatively. This separation was constantly found to require approximation by sutures. The results of the present study concluded that whenever an early presentation with nasal tip haemangioma could be established, initial non-excision treatment followed by open rhinoplasty could be a useful protocol of treatment. Within the limitations of the present study, this protocol could achieve an early, safe and effective treatment for nasal tip haemangiomas with provisionally acceptable cosmetic outcomes so far.     

Photodynamic therapy of tumours in gastroenterology—a review

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is the local destruction of tissue by the interaction of light with a previously administered photosensitizer producing a photochemical effect. This technique has been demonstrated to permit the eradication of small tumours in experimental and clinical practice, with clear biological advantages. This paper reviews PDT experience in gastroenterology, together with concepts currently under experimental investigation.     

Cardiovascular Laser Application

With the invention of the laser, many clinical disciplines have taken advantage of this new energy source. Its precision, intensity and energy density is superior to all other known surgical devices. Based on the principle of light amplification from a photon-emitting resonator, the monochromaticity, collimation and coherence provide the high-energy density of the laser beam for medical applications. The state-of-the-art and future potential of laser use in cardiovascular diseases will be reviewed. Most of the work in this field has been accomplished during the past decade with numerous research projects. Although many technical advances have been made, so far the results in cardiovascular medicine are in the areas of vessel anastomosis, ablation of conduction passes for arrhythmia therapy, and angioplasty. In this paper, special attention will be given to the recent success in XeCl excimer laser application for photodecomposition of tissue with a goal of improved recanalization. The high-power density of the XeCl excimer laser provides significant advantages for the disruption of both embolic and calcified plaque. Regardless of the type of tissue ablated, gross, histologic, and ultra-structural analysis confirmed the absence of thermal injury in luminar recanalization as well as in animal studies. Progress in the manufacture of catheters, with multiple very small diameter fibers, led to the decisive breakthrough in clinical laser angioplasty. Peripheral as well as coronary arteries have been successfully recanalized followed by balloon dilatation. The ease of application and the success achieved thus far have resulted in an optimistic assessment for laser medicine.
