The evidence for physiologic management of the active phase of the first stage of labor

The active phase of first stage labor is generally defined as the period between 3 cm to 4 cm to complete cervical dilatation, in the presence of regular uterine contractions. Most women will experience this portion of labor within hospital obstetric units, where care commonly features restriction to bed, electronic fetal monitoring, early treatment of "slow" labors, and few pain management options beyond epidurals and narcotics. However, the available evidence on appropriate care for healthy childbearing women favors activity in labor, intermittent auscultation, patience from caregivers, and nonpharmacologic methods of pain relief. This article reviews the evidence for care practices that support physiologic labor. Modifying intrapartum care to reflect current evidence will improve women's health, and will require a multilevel approach and consistent midwifery demonstration of the model.     

Statistical Considerations in Identifying Mechanisms of Change

The statistical search for mechanisms of change involves multiple inferential tests, ones that generally follow a fixed sequence designed to demonstrate mediation. While there are several popular approaches to conducting such tests, e.g., SEM and MRA, the inflated Type I error rate problem associated with conducting these tests has received little, if any, attention. This paper offers 2 solutions to avoid committing Type I errors associated with mediational tests. Most straightforward, investigators may choose to use a Bonferroni adjustment. In contrast, a design-based approach can be used that tests rival explanations for the observed effects. Examples drawn from addiction research are provided.     

New sonographic techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma

Ultrasound (US) contrast agents such as Levovist and Sonazoid are now commercially available in Japan. Innovative contrast agents and ultrasound technologies have dramatically changed both diagnostic and treatment strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Contrast-enhanced US is extremely useful in the differential diagnosis of hepatic tumors as well as in evaluation of post-treatment response of HCC after lipiodol transarterial chemoembolization and radio frequency ablation. Harmonic US sensitively detects residual cancer cells in HCC patients after treatment, to facilitate accurate guidance for needle insertion for US monitoring; no other imaging modalities, including computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have such capability. In 2005, the breakthrough technology of pure arterial phase imaging, which depicts only intranodular arterial accumulated maximum intensity projection images, was developed from advanced raw data storing and accumulation technologies. This technique can clearly identify whether blood supplyin the tumor is of arterial or portal origin, to facilitate the non-invasive characterization of nodular lesions associated with liver cirrhosis. Again, CT or MRI do not have such capabilities. This innovative technique can help differentiate premalignant lesions from overt HCC. Concurrent real-time imaging of multi-detector CT and US, known as real-time virtual sonography, has recently become available. This technique greatly facilitates the treatment guidance for HCC. These newly introduced sonographic techniques are dramatically changing the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for HCC, which are expected to improve the prognosis of HCC patients.

A Management of Early CRPS I Caused by Ankle Sprain: A Case Report

Abstract:   We present a case of a 13-year-old boy who developed signs and symptoms of neuropathic pain/early Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Type I, formerly known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), after spraining his ankle while wrestling. Aggressive pain control, using medications and sympatholytic blocks, with physical therapy and rehabilitation, led to the resolution of his painful condition. This prevented the disease from possibly progressing to a full-blown case of CRPS I (RSD) that is very challenging to treat.     

Mechanism of uptake and retention of F-18 BMS-747 158-02 in cardiomyocytes: a novel PET myocardial imaging agent

Background BMS-747158-02 is a novel fluorine 18-labeled pyridazinone derivative designed for cardiac imaging. The uptake and retention mechanisms of F-18 BMS-747158-02 in cardiac myocytes were studied in vitro, and the biodistribution of F-18 BMS-747158-02 was studied in vivo in mice. Methods and Results Fluorine 19 BMS-747158-01 inhibited mitochondrial complex I (MC-I) in bovine heart submitochondrial particles with an IC₅₀ of 16.6±3 nmol/L that was comparable to the reference inhibitors of MC-1, rotenone, pyridaben, and deguelin (IC₅₀ of 18.2±6.7 nmol/L, 19.8±2.6 nmol/L, and 23.1±1.5 nmol/L, respectively). F-18 BMS-747158-02 had high uptake in monolayers of neonatal rat cardiomyocytes (10.3%±0.7% of incubated drug at 60 minutes) that was inhibited by 200 nmol/L of rotenone (91%±2%) and deguelin (89%±3%). In contrast, an inactive pyridaben analog, P-0 (IC₅₀ value>4 μmol/L in MC-1 assay), did not inhibit the binding of F-18 BMS-747158-02 in cardiomyocytes. Uptake and washout kinetics for F-18 BMS-747158-02 in rat cardiomyocytes indicated that the time to half-maximal (t_1/2) uptake was very rapid (approximately 35 seconds), and washout t_1/2 for efflux of F-18 BMS-747158-02 was greater than 120 minutes. In vivo biodistribution studies in mice showed that F-18 BMS-747158-02 had substatial myocardial uptake (9.5%±0.5% of injected dose per gram) at 60 minutes and heart-to-lung and heart-to-liver ratios of 14.1±2.5 and 8.3±0.5, respectively. Positron emission tomography imaging in the mouse allowed clear cardiac visualization and demonstrated sustained myocardial uptake through 55 minutes. Conclusions F-18 BMS-747158-02 is a novel positron emission tomography cardiac tracer targeting MC-I in cardiomyocytes with rapid uptake and slow washout. These characteristics allow fast and sustained accumulation in the heart.
