Head-impulse testing in Fabry disease - vestibular function in male and female patients

Aim : To study the prevalence of peripheral vestibular deficit in male and female patients with Fabry disease and to assess the effect of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) on peripheral vestibular function using quantitative head-impulse testing. Methods : Using dual search-coils the vestibulo-ocular reflex during rapid rotational head thrusts to both sides was recorded in 21 patients (13 male, 8 female) with Fabry disease prior to ERT initiation. ERT consisted of infusions of gene-activated human α-galactosidase A (agalsidase alfa; Replagal™) every 2 weeks at doses of 0.2mg/kg. Eight patients were tested again approximately 6 and 12 months after the initiation of ERT. Results : At baseline examination, 15 of the patients with Fabry disease (71%; 11 males, 4 females) showed reduced peripheral vestibular function. The deficit was unilateral in nine patients (3 females) and bilateral in six patients (1 female). The severity of the vestibular deficit was not significantly different between male and female patients. After 12 months of ERT, the average vestibular deficit on the weaker side tended to improve; however, the change was not significant ( p = 0.10).
Conclusion : Fabry disease affects peripheral vestibular function in both male and female patients. Females seem to be affected less frequently than males, but, on average, vestibular deficits are not different between the two groups. To confirm or reject the tendency for vestibular improvement during ERT, more patients need to be tested and longer follow-up periods are required.

Extended total arch replacement for type B aortic dissection with ascending aneurysm following healed aortic dissection

We describe a case of type B aortic dissection with large ascending aortic aneurysm occurring 12.8 years after aortic root replacement (Cabrol procedure) in a non-Marfan patient with cystic medial necrosis of the aorta. We have successfully performed an extended total aortic arch replacement using a four-branched graft through the “L-indsion” approach (a combination of a left anterior thoracotomy and upper half median sternotomy). Of note, a histological specimen from the aneurysmal ascending aortic wall revealed “healed aortic dissection” with fibrous tissue replacing the media and intima in addition to multiple foci of cystic medial necrosis.     

X线录相对无喉人食管发音机理的初步探讨

本文对19名无喉人食管发音患者,利用X线电影、X线录相及录音技术,对食管发声的机理进行了图、声同步的动态观察与分析。认为食管发声须经过:科学训练;代声门形成;贮气、送气、发音三个时相过程及口腔、鼻腔、舌唇、齿等构字器官的协调配合加工而成。文中还对此项检查设备、方法、检查前准备及步骤进行了详尽论述。     

碳—钛组合式人工股骨头临床应用15年随访

Isolated tricuspid valve stenosis caused by infective endocarditis in an adult: Report of a case

We report herein the case of a 42-year-old man in whom dyspnea on exertion was found to be caused by isolated tricuspid stenosis. Two-dimensional echocardiogram showed thickening of the tricuspid valve with a markedly enlarged right atrium. A color-flow Doppler examination-revealed severe tricuspid stenosis without regurgitation and a Doppler-derived tricuspid diastolic pressure gradient of 23 mmHg. At the time of surgery, the patient was noted to have a stenotic tricuspid valve with thickened leaflets, fused commissures, and almost normal chorda tendineae. The valve leaflets were teased apart to the scattered specimen, and tricuspid valve replacement was successfully performed. Microscopic examination of the specimen demonstrated infective endocarditis. Isolated acquired tricuspid stenosis is extremely rare and, to our knowledge, this is the first case of infective endocarditis being involved as the primary cause.     

Measurement of upper extremity orientation by video stereometry system

In the attempt to gain a broader understanding of the causal relationships behind work-related symptoms of pain in the human shoulder, monitoring of arm position is crucial. Different methods have been used with varying accuracy. A video-based stereometry system, using infra-red light and reflecting markers for motion analysis, has been introduced for measurements in the fields of ergonomics, biomechanics and sports medicine. The purpose of this study is to investigate the sources of error in using this system for posture registration of the upper limb. Measurements are performed on a calibration fixture, on a mechanical model of the upper limb and on a subject with an exoskeleton. Particular, attention is given to inconsistencies and relative errors due to the finite geometrical precision with which the markers are positioned in the calibration fixture and on the studied objects, the limited capability to align the objects relative to the coordinate system of the calibration fixture and the errors connected to angular measurements using protractors etc. It is concluded that the system makes a valuable addition to existing instruments for non-contact posture measurement, and produces position data with an adequate accuracy in normal handling.     

Bicarbon valve - European multicenter clinical evaluation

Objective: Fifteen collaborating centers in eight countries present their pooled experience with the new Bicarbon™ bileaflet valve. Methods: Between 4/90 and 4/96, 1351 patients, 806 males and 545 females, aged 10 to 83, mean 58.4±12.4, underwent valve implantation. Operations: AVR, 726; MVR, 475; DVR, 150. Additional procedures: CABG, 211; TV repair, 64; other, 152. Results: Mortality: 67 early (seven valve related) and 56 late (40 valve related). Valve thrombosis: six obstructive, three non-obstructive; embolism: nine major cerebral, 37 other. Major bleeding: 29. Hemolysis: two clinically significant. Non-structural dysfunction: 24 paravalvular leaks, one leaflet interference. No structural failure! Endocarditis: 24. Reoperation 48: 22 non-structural dysfunctions, 14 endocarditis, seven thrombosis and embolism, five other. Estimated 5-year freedom from valve-related deaths is 97.2% for AVR and 92.4% for MVR; 4-year freedom from valve related deaths for DVR is 90.5%. Mean calculated NYHA improvement is 1.24. Conclusions: The Bicarbon mechanical prosthesis is well designed, durable, has good hemodynamic features and an acceptably low incidence of complications.
