BackgroundFractional flow reserve (FFR) is a valid surrogate for hemodynamic significance in stenotic native coronary arteries. The aim of this study was to examine the value of FFR compared to stress perfusion myocardial scintigraphy (SPMS) in patients with coronary stent restenosis.MethodsWe studied 42 patients, aged 62 ± 10 years, with stent restenosis 5.3 ± 1.6 months after coronary stent implantation. All patients had a single coronary lesion of intermediate severity (diameter stenosis 40–70%). FFR measurement, SPMS, and quantitative angiography of the stent stenosis were performed in all patients.ResultsThe mean percentage in stent diameter stenosis was 53 ± 9%. FFR was 0.77 ± 0.15. In 20 patients FFR was below 0.75. Nineteen patients had reversible perfusion defects in SPMS. FFR showed good diagnostic accuracy for the detection of reversible perfusion defects in SPMS (AUROC 0.86, 95% CI 0.74–0.98). The percentage of agreement of SPMS and FFR was 88%, with the best cutoff value of 0.75 for FFR.ConclusionsA FFR value of 0.75 is not only valid for diagnosing significant native coronary stenosis, but also for stent restenosis. Thus, FFR measurement should be taken into account when making decisions regarding patients with stent restenosis. 相似文献

The European Trauma Course (ETC) was officially launched during the international conference of the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) in 2008. The ETC was developed on behalf of ESTES (European Society of Trauma and Emergency Surgery), EuSEM (European Society of Emergency Medicine), the ESA (European Society of Anaesthesiology) and the ERC. The objective of the ETC is to provide an internationally recognised and certified life support course, and to teach healthcare professionals the key principles of the initial care of severely injured patients. Its core elements, that differentiates it from other trauma courses, are a strong focus on team training and a novel modular design that is adaptable to the differing regional European requirements.This article describes the lessons learnt during the European Trauma Course development and provides an outline of the planned future development. 相似文献

Ectopic beats originating from sleeves of atrial tissue within the pulmonary veins (PVs) can induce and sustain paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Left atrial stretch and dilatation favors the development of atrial ectopy and AF. Similarly, PV dilatation, if present, might trigger PV ectopy in patients with AF. This study was designed to evaluate whether PV dilatation is present in patients with nonfocal AF and whether the PV diameter correlates to the left atrial diameter (LAD). The diameters of the right superior (RSPV) and left superior PV (LSPV) were measured at the ostium and at a depth of 1 cm in 170 patients (AF, n = 75; sinus rhythm [SR], n = 95) using transesophageal echocardiography. The LAD was determined by transthoracic echocardiography. The diameters of the PVs were significantly larger in patients with AF than in patients with SR (LSPV(ostium): AF 13.6 +/- 3.5 mm vs SR 10.6 +/- 2.7 mm, P < 0.001; LSVP(1cm): AF 12.5 +/- 2.9 mm vs SR 10.2 +/- 2.5 mm, P < 0.001; RSPV(ostium): AF 13.9 +/- 3.5 mm vs SR 11.7 +/- 2.9 mm, P < 0.001; RSVP(1cm): AF 12.8 +/- 2.8 mm vs SR 10.6 +/- 2.6 mm, P < 0.05). Similarly, LAD was larger in patients with AF (44.7 +/- 7.7 mm) as compared to patients with SR (38.8 +/- 6.8 mm, P < 0.001). Neither for the SR nor the AF group did the PV size correlate to the LAD. AF is associated with a significant enlargement of the RSPV, LSPV, and LAD. There is no correlation between LAD and PV diameters. This raises the question whether PV dilatation in patients with AF is a cause or a consequence of AF and whether it may contribute to the development and perpetuation of AF. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to validate the accuracy of the Emory Cardiac Tool Box (ECTB) in assessing left ventricular end-diastolic or end-systolic volume (EDV, ESV) and ejection fraction (LVEF) from gated (99m)Tc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile ((99m)Tc-MIBI) SPECT using cardiac MRI (cMRI) as a reference. Furthermore, software-specific characteristics of ECTB were analyzed in comparison with 4D-MSPECT and Quantitative Gated SPECT (QGS) results (all relative to cMRI). METHODS: Seventy patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease were examined using gated (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT (8 gates/cardiac cycle) 60 min after tracer injection at rest. EDV, ESV, and LVEF were calculated from gated (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT using ECTB, 4D-MSPECT, and QGS. Directly before or after gated SPECT, cMRI (20 gates/cardiac cycle) was performed as a reference. EDV, ESV, and LVEF were calculated using Simpson's rule. RESULTS: Correlation between results of gated (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT and cMRI was high for EDV (R = 0.90 [ECTB], R = 0.88 [4D-MSPECT], R = 0.92 [QGS]), ESV (R = 0.94 [ECTB], R = 0.96 [4D-MSPECT], R = 0.96 [QGS]), and LVEF (R = 0.85 [ECTB], R = 0.87 [4D-MSPECT], R = 0.89 [QGS]). EDV (ECTB) did not differ significantly from cMRI, whereas 4D-MSPECT and QGS underestimated EDV significantly compared with cMRI (mean +/- SD: 131 +/- 43 mL [ECTB], 127 +/- 42 mL [4D-MSPECT], 120 +/- 38 mL [QGS], 137 +/- 36 mL [cMRI]). For ESV, only ECTB yielded values that were significantly lower than cMRI. For LVEF, ECTB and 4D-MSPECT values did not differ significantly from cMRI, whereas QGS values were significantly lower than cMRI (mean +/- SD: 62.7% +/- 13.7% [ECTB], 59.0% +/- 12.7% [4DM-SPECT], 53.2% +/- 11.5% [QGS], 60.6% +/- 13.9% [cMRI]). CONCLUSION: EDV, ESV, and LVEF as determined by ECTB, 4D-MSPECT, and QGS from gated (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT agree over a wide range of clinically relevant values with cMRI. Nevertheless, any algorithm-inherent over- or underestimation of volumes and LVEF should be accounted for and an interchangeable use of different software packages should be avoided. 相似文献

AGRICOH is a recently formed consortium of agricultural cohort studies involving 22 cohorts from nine countries in five continents: South Africa (1), Canada (3), Costa Rica (2), USA (6), Republic of Korea (1), New Zealand (2), Denmark (1), France (3) and Norway (3). The aim of AGRICOH, initiated by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) and coordinated by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), is to promote and sustain collaboration and pooling of data to investigate the association between a wide range of agricultural exposures and a wide range of health outcomes, with a particular focus on associations that cannot easily be addressed in individual studies because of rare exposures (e.g., use of infrequently applied chemicals) or relatively rare outcomes (e.g., certain types of cancer, neurologic and auto-immune diseases). To facilitate future projects the need for data harmonization of selected variables is required and is underway. Altogether, AGRICOH provides excellent opportunities for studying cancer, respiratory, neurologic, and auto-immune diseases as well as reproductive and allergic disorders, injuries and overall mortality in association with a wide array of exposures, prominent among these the application of pesticides. 相似文献

Trichothecenes are immunosuppressive mycotoxins produced mainly by Fusarium spp. and often are detected as natural contaminants of grain and other agricultural products. Exposure to trichothecenes through inhalation during grain work may represent possible health risks for grain farmers. We aimed, therefore, to investigate the level of Fusarium spp. and trichothecenes in settled grain dust collected during work on 92 Norwegian farms. Mycotoxins were determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, whereas the Fusarium spp. were identified and quantified both by species-specific semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and by cultivation. All potential trichothecene-producing molds in the grain dust were quantified using a PCR assay specific for tri5, the gene coding for trichodiene synthase that catalyzes the first step in the trichothecene biosynthesis. We performed correlation analysis between mold-DNA and mycotoxins to assess whether the PCR-detected DNA could be used as indicators of the mycotoxins. The methodological problem of detecting small amounts of airborne mycotoxins during grain work may then be avoided. Whereas the trichothecene-producing Fusarium species in grain dust could not be identified or quantified to a sufficient extent by cultivation, all investigated Fusarium spp. could be specifically detected by PCR and quantified from the DNA agarose gel band intensities. Furthermore, we observed a strong correlation between the trichothecenes HT-2 toxin (HT-2) or T-2 toxin (T-2) and DNA specific for tri5 (r = 0.68 for HT-2 and r = 0.50 for T-2; p < 0.001), F. langsethiae (r = 0.77 for HT-2 and r = 0.59 for T-2; p < 0.001), or F. poae (r = 0.41 for HT-2 and r = 0.35 for T-2; p < 0.001). However, only a moderate correlation was observed between the trichothecene deoxynivalenol (DON) and the combination of its producers, F. culmorum and F. graminearum (r = 0.24, p = 0.02), and no significant correlation was observed between DON and tri5. PCR clearly improved the detection of toxigenic Fusaria as potential sources of health risks for farmers inhaling grain dust during work, but the use of Fusarium-DNA as indicators for trichothecenes should be used cautiously. 相似文献
