Broad ligament hernia-associated bowel obstruction.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We present the case of a female patient 29 years of age with antecedents of laparoscopic laser ablation for endometriosis, laparoscopic appendectomy, and umbilical hernioplasty. METHODS: The patient was admitted to the hospital's emergency room for abdominal pain in the epigastrium, transfixing, irradiating to both upper quadrants and to the lumbar region, accompanied by nausea and gastrobiliary vomiting. Lipase determination was 170 mg/dL. Other laboratory findings were normal. Plain abdominal films on the patient's admission were normal, and computed tomography (CT) showed data compatible with acute pancreatitis. Without improvement during the patient's hospital stay, pain and vomiting increased in intensity and frequency. RESULTS: New abdominal x-rays revealed dilatation of small bowel loops. Management was begun for intestinal obstruction, with intravenous hydration and placement of a nasogastric tube without a good response. At 48 hours, a diagnostic laparoscopy was performed, revealing a 3-cm internal hernia in the left broad ligament in which a 20-cm segment of terminal ileum was encased. We performed liberation of the ileal segment and closed the hernial orifice by using the laparoscopic approach. CONCLUSION: The patient's evolution was excellent.

Comparative nasal absorption of allergens in atopic and nonatopic subjects.

Based on sensitization following intranasal antigen administration, previous investigations have suggested greater absorption of allergens through the nasal mucous membranes of atopic than of nonatopic subjects. In this study mucosal absorption was assessed more directly by determining the capacity of allergens applied intranasally to elicit cutaneous Prausnitz-Küstner (P-K) reactions in nonatopic persons as compared with asymptomatic atopic subjects sensitive to other allergens. Two series of reaginic human serum dilutions were injected intracutaneously in recipients backs, and 48 hours later one series was challenged intracutaneously with test allergen. After the responses had been recorded, concentrated allergenic extract was sprayed into the nose and the second series of P-K sites observed for reactivity. Sometimes these P-K sites were rechallenged intracutaneously the following day to determine passive transfer neutralization. Two allergens were studied: bovine ribonuclease (RNase) and peanut extract. Two sera containing peanut reagins and one with RNase antibodies were each used in 10 to 11 atopic and 9 to 11 nonatopic recipients. The atopic group failed to show greater or more rapid absorption of either allergen through the nose based on the highest serum dilution reacting after nasal challenge. the speed of the reaction, the ratio of the titer by nasal challenge to the intracutaneous titer, or passive transfer neutralization. Controls showed that the results were not influenced by systemic absorption of allergen employed for intracutaneous tests. Drinking the amount of peanut extract applied intranasally did not elicit P-K reactions.     

Chronic myelogenous leukemia with a complex Ph1 translocation in an XYY male

We encountered a 38-year-old Japanese male patient with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), whose bone marrow and peripheral blood cells during the chronic and blastic phases contained a complex Ph¹ translocation and an extra Y chromosome [i.e., 47,XYY,t(9;22;13)(q34;q11;q14)]. A karyotypic analysis of PHA-stimulated lymphocytes showed the constitutional karyotype to be 47,XYY. Thus, it was considered that CML with a complex Ph¹ translocation developed in an XYY male; such a case has not been reported, so far. A B-lymphocyte cell line with the complex Ph¹ translocation was established by the procedure of Epstein-Barr virus transformation. The presence of the complex Ph¹ translocation in the B-lymphocyte cell line suggests that some of the B lymphocytes in this patient originated from the CML clone.

Intraoperative internal mammary artery transit-time flow measurements: comparative evaluation of two surgical pedicle preparation techniques

Objects.

Myocardial revascularization is performed preferentially with internal mammary artery grafts. Pedicle preparation and pharmacologic vasodilatory treatment vary greatly. Objective measurements are difficult since peripheral and later coronary vascular resistance and possible competitive flow of the native bypassed coronary artery will influence the results significantly. Our objectives were: (1) measurement of internal mammary artery graft flow with the transit-time flow technique; (2) comparison of two surgical take-down techniques (skeletonizing vs standard pedicle preparation); (3) quantitation of transit-time flow compared to the free pedicle flow and (4) the vasodilatory effect of papaverine on internal mammary artery flow.

Method.

Consecutive elective cases of coronary artery bypass grafting, performed by two surgeons using routinely either skeletonizing of the internal mammary artery (group A, n=10) or classical pedicle preparation technique (group B, n=10), were studied prospectively. Anesthesia, cardiopulmonary bypass and operative data were otherwise comparable; likewise, hemodynamic parameters showed no statistical differences between the two groups. Transit-time flow (CardioMed, Medi-Stim, Norway) was measured at the following time points: beginning (1) and end of take-down (2); after papaverine soaking: before (3) and on cardiopulmonary bypass (4); free flow into a beaker (5); after anastomosis; on (6) and off cardiopulmonary bypass (7).

Results.

Measurement of mean flow showed the following results: (1) severe vasoconstruction of the internal mammary artery was detected in both groups regardless of the preparation technique (occurring earlier in group A); (2) papaverine soaking caused a moderate flow increase (up to 40%); (3) with corresponding cardiopulmonary bypass flow (4.4 vs 4.1 l/min in group B) a higher free flow in group A was evident (67.7 vs 50.7 ml/min); (4) after coronary grafting, transit-time flow showed no significant differences between the two groups and (5) using a 3 mm probe, a linear correlation was demonstrated between transit-time flow and simultaneously measured free flow (r=0.89).

Conclusion.

Intraoperative transit-time flow measurement is a reliable method for assessing internal mammary artery and coronary artery bypass flow; considering the simple technical application, the procedure may be regarded as a valuable instrument of quality control.     

Kluger's “Fixateur interne” for spinal instability

Kluger's Fixateur Interne proved to be an excellent tool not only in spinal trauma for repositioning of impacted fractures and transpedicular stabilization of the dorsal column but also in other forms of thoracic or lumbar instability.After spinal tumor excision from a dorsal approach and vertebral replacement with methylmethacrylate additional stability through dorsal fixation was achieved with this device.Spondylodiscitis, symptomatic spondylolisthesis, spinal instability from degenerative disc disease as well as nonunion following previous surgery could be cured using Kluger's internal fixation. Rare complications, i.e. from broken screws or rods (5%) caused no problems, but some patients required a second operation for readjustment of malpositioned screws which were causing pain or neurological deficit.
