女性吸毒人员的吸毒因素、社会化状况及应对措施

目的:了解女性吸毒人员社会化基本状况,并对其应对方式进行分析。方法:问卷调查、个案访谈及对在册病案进行回顾性分析及采用单因素Logistic回归分析。结果:诱发女性吸毒的因素众多,采用单因素Logistic回归分析OR值2 0以上,并有显著性意义的因素有:受教育程度、职业状况、婚姻状况、好奇、同伴影响、感情受挫、寻求刺激和减肥。结论:社会化不足是导致女性吸毒、影响其戒毒和保持戒毒后操守的重要因素,有针对性地对女性吸毒人员实施有效的社会化治疗是必要和有效的。     

Tear of the distal biceps branchii tendon: A new method of ultrasound evaluation

Tear of the distal biceps brachii tendon is an uncommon injury. Ultrasound evaluation of the distal tendon using an anterior approach is often difficult because of technical factors. We describe a new method of ultrasound evaluation of the distal biceps tendon insertion. This involves a posterior approach with the forearm pronated. With pronation of the forearm, the radial tuberosity faces posteriorly, bringing the distal biceps tendon insertion into view. A surgically proven case of distal biceps tendon tear is presented to illustrate our technique.     

An unexpected tumor causing right ventricular obstruction

A 58‐year‐old male with a history of a soft tissue sarcoma in remission presented with a 2 weeks history of progressive dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography showed right ventricular dilation; right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP) of 110 mm Hg, and a lobulated mass in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) causing obstruction. Microbubble contrast was administered showing perfusion within the mass, which suggested malignancy. A CT pulmonary angiogram (CTPA) confirmed the presence of the mass in the RVOT without evidence of pulmonary embolism. This case demonstrates the importance of the multimodality imaging approach for the differential diagnosis of masses in the RVOT.     

Angiofibroma celular de vulva: una entidad a investigar

Cellular angiofibroma of the vulva is a well-circumscribed tumor that occurs in men and women. This tumor has histological and immunohistochemical features that distinguish it from other vulvar tumors. The prognosis is good, although there is a risk of recurrence. We report the case of a woman with this diagnosis.
