Stability of aztreonam in a portable pump reservoir used for home intravenous antibiotic treatment (HIVAT)

The stability of the monocyclic -lactam antibiotic aztreonam in portable pump reservoirs was studied during storage at temperatures of-20°C and +5°C and during drug delivery at 37°C. Three 100-ml drug reservoirs and three glass containers containing 60 mg/ml aztreonam were stored at-20°C and 2-ml samples were analysed in the freshly prepared solution and after thawing at days 7, 21, 28, 70 and after 6 months of storage. A separate triplicate batch of 100-ml prefilled drug reservoirs and glass containers containing a similar aztreonam concentration (60 mg/ml) were refrigerated and tested immediately after preparation and daily for 8 days and after 70 days. Solutions of aztreonam in duplicate freshly prepared reservoirs were tested for stability when the solution was pumped at 37°C over a 24-h period. All solutions were inspected for visual changes and tested for pH. Drug concentration was analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography. No colour changes or pH differences were observed in any of the solutions in the reservoirs or containers. No statistically significant decrease in aztreonam concentration could be detected after 6 months of storage at-20°C. Aztreonam was stable at 5°C for at least 8 days. A 24-h pumping period at 37°C showed a 3.6% decrease in aztreonam concentration. Aztreonam at a concentration of 60 mg/ml in a pump reservoir is sufficiently stable to be used in home intravenous antibiotic treatment programmes.

Survival in cancer of the cervix: treatment in a population-based cancer registry in a developing country (Bangalore, India)

A survival analysis of treated cases of cervix cancer that were registered in the Bangalore (India) Population Based Cancer Registry between 1 January 1987 and 31 December 1989 was performed. Information on vital status of patients was obtained principally through follow-up visits to homes of patients. Follow-up information was available for 860 (92.7 percent) of 928 registered cases. Of the 860 cases, information on treatment was available for 559 patients, on whom the analysis of treatment outcome was performed. The overall five-year observed survival (5YS) was 41.1 percent with a relative survival of 46.3 percent. The 5YS was significantly (P = 0.01) influenced by clinical stage and by addition of brachytherapy (BT) to external radiotherapy (EXT) (5YS = 60.1 percent cf 27.4 percent, P = < 0.001). In 343 patients who received EXT only, comparatively better survival was seen in the group who had received between 4,800 to 5,999 centigray (cGy) (5YS = 36.1 percent) when compared with those who received less than 3,000 and 3,000 to 4,799 cGy (5YS = 16.7 percent and 24.9 percent, respectively). Doses of EXT higher than 5,999 cGy (in patients who were not suitable for BT) did not have any benefit in the 5YS (27.4 percent). The study has generated a specific hypothesis about possible needless excess dose of external radiotherapy.     

Steno-Occlusive Changes in the External Carotid System in Moyamoya Disease

To evaluate the steno-occlusive changes in the external carotid system in moyamoya disease, cerebral angiograms of 39 moyamoya patients were retrospectively reviewed. There were 26 females and 13 males, age ranged from 4 to 62 years with a mean of 26 years. Initial symptoms were ischaemia in 27 patients, haemorrhage in 9, and none in 3. Stenosis, occlusion, and dilatation in the external carotid system were analysed angiographically. No stenosis or occlusion of the superficial temporal artery, middle meningeal artery, or occipital artery was observed in either preoperative or postoperative follow-up angiograms in any patients. Steno-occlusive changes do not occur in the external carotid system, but are confined in the internal carotid system in moyamoya disease.     

Exostoses of the external auditory canal: a long‐term follow‐up study of surgical treatment

To determine the postoperative incidence, extent and recurrence rate of exostoses of the external auditory canal in a cohort of patients involved in different water sports. A cross‐sectional study of 31 patients (46 ears), with exostoses treated by surgery in the Royal Cornwall Hospital between 1980 and 1999. A questionnaire was used to obtain information about the type of water exposure pre‐ and postoperatively. The extent of recurrent stenosis was assessed. The mean postoperative time interval was 10 years (sd = 4.5 years). The degree of stenosis was assessed as: minimal (<30%) in 42.6%, moderate (30–60%) in 31% and severe (>60%) in 25% of ears. The Cox regression model was used to identify factors associated with a reduction in the recurrence rate of stenosis. The use of ear plugs was highly significant (P = 0.015), as was the age of the patient at the time of operation (P = 0.004), i.e. the older the patient, the faster recurrent disease developed. There was no evidence to show that either the type or seasonal pattern of water sport activity influenced recurrence of the disease postoperatively, although preoperatively, the stenosis was more marked in association with surfing and sailing. Exostoses developed faster preoperatively in those who were in the water all year round rather than just the summer months. Of five patients who stopped water sport activity completely after surgery, four of them developed significant recurrent exostoses (>50% stenosis).
