12例开放性腋动脉损伤的诊治

目的探讨开放性腋动脉损伤的诊治体会。方法1996年-2002年，共诊治12例开放性腋动脉损伤的患者，从受伤到入院时间为3～14h，入院时均处于不同程度的休克状态，桡动脉搏动减弱或消失。在积极抗休克治疗的同时，急诊进行清创、血管神经探查和修复术。其中行腋动脉修补5例，腋动脉直接吻合6例，自体静脉移植修复1例。结果伤后8h内腋动脉再通8例，8～16h内腋动脉再通4例，无病例发生截肢或死亡。术后伤口均Ⅰ期愈合，桡动脉搏动良好。结论对开放性腋动脉损伤早期诊断和及时手术探查是控制休克、获取良好疗效的关键。     

The Evidence Base Supporting the Subtyping of Gamblers in Treatment

Introduction Recent reviews found problem gamblers are heterogeneous and recommended subtyping gamblers in treatment studies. Objective Review factors (stage of change, preferred gambling activity, co-occurring disorder, and temporal instability of symptoms) for subtyping by evaluating the evidence for their effects on gambling treatment. Methods Literature review, evidence grading. Results Evidence is limited that any of the reviewed factors affects gambling treatment. Substantial evidence from prospective studies and other evidence from cross-sectional studies and the strong placebo response among pathological gamblers support the temporal instability of gambling symptoms. Conclusions Multiple studies are needed to develop the evidence base needed to subtype gamblers in treatment. Changes in the diagnostic criteria of pathological gambling may be necessary, especially to specify the persistence of gambling-related symptoms.

目的总结肩锁钩钢板内固定治疗RockwoodⅢ～Ⅴ型肩锁关节脱位的疗效。方法2001年3月-2003年12月,对12例肩锁关节脱位患者采用切开复位肩锁钩钢板内固定治疗,其中RockwoodⅢ型8例,Ⅳ型2例,Ⅴ型2例；脱位距就诊时间为2 h～5 d,平均2．5 d。结果术后10例获得3个月～2年随访,2例失访。术后肩锁关节位置恢复,肩关节外展上举活动范围达160°～170°,2例在举重物时肩锁关节有轻度的疼痛,1例肩关节外展80°时肩锁关节开始疼痛,患侧上肢肌力较健侧稍减弱。肩关节功能按Constant标准评定为86～96分,平均92分。结论肩锁钩钢板内固定可恢复肩锁关节的解剖位置和微动特性,是治疗重度肩锁关节脱位的良好术式。     

From Innumeracy to Insight: The Uncertainty of Help versus Harm in Treatment of Asymptomatic Aortic Aneurysms

There is insufficient evidence that the surgical treatment of asymptomatic infrarenal aneurysms > 5.5 cm. is beneficial to patients. This is the result of serious complications of aneurysm surgery and the dearth of information from randomized trials. Based on evidence from the literature we defined scenarios and translated data into natural frequency trees to improve understanding of the uncertainty of help versus harm due to treatment of aneurysms. Our analysis shows that the majority of patients can expect little on longevity from surgery while they are at risk of dying from surgery or suffering from serious morbidity. We conclude that, as long as uncertainty persist, patients should be treated in hospitals that can show very low surgical mortality and major morbidity rates. To further resolve the problem of uncertainty randomized trials for larger aneurysms should be performed. Important issues to discuss are the lower and upper limits of the diameter of the aneurysms and the age and risk profiles of the patients to be included in such trials.     

Outcomes of low-vision services using optometric and multidisciplinary approaches: a non-randomized comparison

Consecutive patients (n = 215) who were referred to optometric (55%) or multidisciplinary (45%) low-vision services and above 50 years of age were recruited from four hospitals in the Netherlands. They completed two vision-related quality of life questionnaires, the Vision Quality of Life Core Measure (VCM1) and the Low Vision Quality of Life Questionnaire (LVQOL), before their first visit with low-vision services and 1 year later. At follow-up, patients referred to multidisciplinary low-vision services had lower scores on the mobility subscale of the LVQOL than patients referred to optometric low-vision services [5.3 points; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.2-10.5]. Paired sample t-tests for the two groups of patients taken together show improvement for the VCM1 (3.1 points; 95% CI: 0.6-5.6) and deterioration for the basic aspects of vision (3.5 points; 95% CI: 1.1-5.9) and the mobility (6.6 points; 95% CI: 3.7-9.5) subscales of the LVQOL. In conclusion, people referred to optometric services showed less deterioration in mobility than those referred to multidisciplinary services. No differences were observed for any of the other subscales of the LVQOL and the VCM1. Future research in this field should include randomized controlled designs comparing low-vision services with no treatment or placebo.     

溃疡性结肠炎的外科治疗16例分析

目的探讨溃疡性结肠炎的外科治疗方式。方法对16例行外科手术治疗的溃疡性结肠炎的临床资料进行回顾性分析。结果本组16例行外科手术治疗，占全部收治患者的20．5％（16／78）。手术原因包括保守治疗无效10例，肠梗阻3例，合并息肉可疑癌变3例。行全结直肠切除、回肠造口术8例，全结直肠全切除、回肠肛管吻合术4例，结肠全切除、回直肠吻合术2例，结肠部分切除2例。结论溃疡性结肠炎主要手术指征为内科治疗无效或合并肠梗阻及并发息肉可疑癌变者。全结肠切除、回肠造口术治疗较彻底，全结直肠切除、回肠贮袋肛管吻合术可改善排便控制功能，但吻合口溃疡发生率高。     

Stroke Unit care in Italy. Results from PROSIT (Project on Stroke Services in Italy). A nationwide study

Abstract The future challenge for improving stroke patients’ outcome will be to implement new Stroke Units (SUs) worldwide. However the best SU model remains uncertain. The aim of this study was to evaluate the number of SUs and the quality characteristics of acute stroke care in Italy. We conducted a SU survey in Italy, interviewing the directors of the hospital wards that discharged at least 50 acute stroke patients a year. A SU was defined as an acute ward area with stroke-dedicated beds and staff. To compare the quality of care provided in SUs with that in general wards (GWs) we investigated the characteristics of five domains: hospital setting, unit setting, staffing, process of care and diagnostic investigations. We identified 68 SUs and 677 GWs. Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that SUs compared to GWs had higher quality scores in unit setting (ROC area=0.9721), staffing (ROC area=0.8760) and care organisation (ROC area=0.7984). The hospital setting (ROC area=0.7033) and the availability of rapid diagnostic investigations (ROC area=0.7164) had lower power in discriminating SU from GW. In Italy in 2003/04 only 9% of the hospital services had organised SU care. The study demonstrated that SUs admitted more than 100 patients per year, had more monitoring equipment and staffing time, and practised multidisciplinary meetings and early mobilisation. The utility of these structural and performance characteristics needs validation from outcome studies.     

Utility of the Brief Symptom Inventory in the Assessment of Psychological Distress

Introduction People with intellectual disabilities are now acknowledged to be susceptible to the full range of mental health disorders. This acknowledgement has resulted in the need to develop and evaluate instruments for the assessment and detection of mental health problems. This research evaluates the use of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) with 200 people with mild intellectual disabilities representing community, clinical and forensic populations. Results and conclusions Results illustrate the reliability of the BSI for each of the groups and demonstrates how the Positive Symptom Total (PST) index effectively discriminates between study groups. Case rates for each group are provided. The study illustrates that the BSI could be employed as a brief multitrait assessment instrument and as a treatment outcome measure with people with an intellectual disability.
