The digital age commenced in the mid-20th century and since we have seen approximately exponential growth in information. This period has also seen the rapid growth of computer technology that has facilitated, for instance, the derivation of whole genomes and automated drug discovery. Data, information, knowledge and wisdom lay the foundations for understanding how experience is formed from evidence and observations. When data are put into context, the resultant information can drive growth and further contribute to increased knowledge. Appreciating the source of data enables us to recognize and hopefully correct for inherent error and bias. Ultimately knowledge discovery can be automated to gain information from data and so on, enhancing our understanding of a given subject and expanding collective wisdom. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Retrospective studies have suggested an association between systemic hypotension and hypoxia and worsened outcome from traumatic brain injury. Little is known, however, about the frequency and duration of these potentially preventable causes of secondary brain injury. HYPOTHESIS: Early episodes of hypoxia and hypotension occurring during initial resuscitation will have a significant impact on outcome following traumatic brain injury. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Urban level I trauma center. PATIENTS: Patients with a traumatic brain injury who had a Glasgow Coma Score of 12 or less within the first 24 hours of admission to the hospital and computed tomographic scan results demonstrating intracranial pathologic features. Patients who died in the emergency department were excluded from the study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Automated blood pressure and pulse oximetry readings were collected prospectively from the time of arrival through initial resuscitation. The number and duration of hypotensive (systolic blood pressure, < or =90 mm Hg) and hypoxic (oxygen saturation, < or =92%) events were analyzed for their association with mortality and neurological outcome. RESULTS: One hundred seven patients met the enrollment criteria (median Glasgow Coma Score, 7). Overall mortality was 43%. Twenty-six patients (24%) had hypotension while in the emergency department, with an average of 1.5 episodes per patient (mean duration, 9.1 minutes). Of these 26 patients with hypotension, 17 (65%) died (P =.01). When the number of hypotensive episodes increased from 1 to 2 or more, the odds ratio for death increased from 2.1 to 8.1. Forty-one patients (38%) had hypoxia, with an average of 2.1 episodes per patient (mean duration, 8.7 minutes). Of these 41 patients with hypoxia, 18 (44%) died (P =.68). CONCLUSIONS: Hypotension, but not hypoxia, occurring in the initial phase of resuscitation is significantly (P =.009) associated with increased mortality following brain injury, even when episodes are relatively short. These prospective data reinforce the need for early continuous monitoring and improved treatment of hypotension in brain-injured patients. 相似文献

The relation of plasma concentration of d-tubocurarine (dTc) to neuromuscular blockade, and the distribution and urinary excretion of dTc was determined in neonates (n = 4), infants (n = 6), children (n = 8), and adults (n = 8). The plasma concentration-time course curves to 24 hr are best described for all groups by three-compartment models. Both neonates and infants exhibit decreased plasma clearance (CLP), 1.1 +/- 0.08 and 1.0 +/- 0.06 ml X kg-1 X min-1, and in addition a prolonged t1/2 terminal phase, 311 +/- 44 and 306 +/- 35 (mean +/- SEM, min). The neonates' 24-hr urinary excretion, 27 +/- 2 (mean +/- SEM, % total dose) is significantly less than the adult value, 45 +/- 4% total dose. There was no significant difference seen in the log plasma concentration-evoked compound electromyogram (ECEMG) response between 20-80% paralysis for adults, children, infants, and five of the seven neonates studied. Two of the neonates had a significant shift of their log concentration-response curve to the right. There was also no significant difference between any of the groups in the time for 50% return of ECEMG stimulus height or the time required for recovery of the ECEMG from 25 to 75% of control value. for recovery of the ECEMG from 25 to 75% of control value. 相似文献

Laparotomy, laparoscopy, cancer, and beyond 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The fate of laparoscopic methods for the treatment of cancer remains uncertain. Published middle-range oncologic results from nonrandomized studies demonstrate that laparoscopic methods are associated with an outcome comparable with results after open resection. The world awaits the 3- and 5-year oncologic results of the ongoing randomized and prospective trials. There is a possibility that laparoscopic methods may be associated with a survival benefit. Port tumors remain a concern. However, results at this writing suggest that these recurrences take place at a frequency similar to that of incisional recurrences following open cancer resection. Port tumors currently are viewed as local recurrences. Traumatization of the tumor at the time of resection is thought to be the most important surgery-related risk factor. The demonstration of a survival benefit in a randomized trial would likely have a tremendous impact on the surgical world. Avoidance of laparotomy-related immunosuppression and tumor stimulation, both of which have been well demonstrated in animal studies, theoretically, might account for differences in cancer outcome. The early postoperative period may be a critical time during which the fate of many cancer patients is determined. It is possible that this may be an ideal time frame for antitumor immunotherapy because the tumor burden is at its lowest, and because immunotherapy, unlike conventional chemotherapy, is unlikely to have a negative impact on wound and anastomotic healing. Perioperative nonspecific upregulation of immune function via pharmacologic means may improve long-term oncologic results. Similarly, preoperative tumor vaccines might provide patients with a specific means of combating any remaining tumor cells after curative resection. The results of several recently completed murine studies support both of these ideas. Finally, early postoperative administration of monoclonal antitumor antibodies might provide patients with specific means of combating any remaining tumor cells after curative resection. The introduction of advanced minimally invasive techniques nearly a decade ago has led to new methods of approaching malignant tumors that have the potential to have an impact on the oncologic outcome of cancer patients. This decade-long journey also has led to new insights regarding the impact of surgery on the patient. It also has alerted us concerning the importance of the immediate postoperative period in the patient's ongoing struggle against the tumor. These insights hopefully will lead to better surgical methods and new perioperative adjuvant therapies that will increase the rate of survival and reduce the recurrence rates for cancer patients. 相似文献

In its guidelines for hand care professionals, the American Society for Surgery of the Hand has set the following criteria as guidelines for the ethical hand surgeon in the 21st century: decency, honor, and integrity. This article reviews these criteria in detail, relates how they apply in practice, and describes how they interact with state and federal law in both legislative and judicial aspects. Matters pertaining to informed consent, privacy issues, patient autonomy, shared decision making, and conflict of interest are described, and recent developments in this area are examined. Are hand surgeons ready for an enforceable system of ethics to be handed down by the ASSH or by the government? 相似文献
