The effect of technology on the indications for cataract surgery

Before the introduction of modern ophthalmic surgical technology following World War II, cataract extraction was easier and safer to perform if the cataract was far advanced (mature) and both eyes were involved. The surgeon was constrained from early surgery by the frequency of severe complications, the long convalescent period, and the distortions of aphakic glasses. Now it is easier to perform phacoemulsification and implant lenses in the early stages of cataract formation when the nucleus is soft and the posterior lens capsule has not been weakened with age. Also, modern small-incision extracapsular cataract extraction has a low rate of complications and a short convalescent period. It is feasible to extract a clear lens or one with minimal opacifications and have a grateful patient. The surgeon is capable of improving the refractive state of the eye by selecting the power of the intraocular lens. These facts have led to instances where cataracts have been extracted that were responsible for minimal or no symptoms.

Cerebral vasoconstriction in comatose patients resuscitated from a cardiac arrest?

Objective To determine the role of cerebral vasoconstriction in the delayed hypoperfusion phase in comatose patients after cardiac arrest.Design Prospective study.Setting Medical intensive care unit in a university hospital.Patients 10 comatose patients (Glasgow Coma Score 6) successfully resuscitated from a cardiac arrest occurring outside the hospital.Measurements We measured the pulsatility index (PI) and mean blood flow velocity (MFV) of the middle cerebral artery, the cerebral oxygen extraction ratio and jugular bulb levels of endothelin, nitrate, and cGMP during the first 24 h after cardiac arrest.Results The PI decreased significantly from 1.86±1.02 to 1.05±0.22 (p=0.03). The MFV increased significantly from 29±10 to 62±25 cm/s (p=0.003). Cerebral oxygen extraction ratio decreased also from 0.39±0.13 to 0.24±0.11 (p=0.015). Endothelin levels were high but did not change during the study period. Nitrate levels varied widely and showed a slight but significant decrease from 37.1 mol/l (median; 25th–75th percentiles: 26.8–61.6) to 31.3 mol/l (22.1–39.6) (p=0.04). Cyclic guanosine monophosphate levels increased significantly from 2.95 nmol/l (median; 25th–75th percentiles: 2.48–5.43) to 7.5 nmol/l (6.2–14.0) (p=0.02).Conclusions We found evidence of increased cerebrovascular resistance during the first 24 h after cardiac arrest with persistent high endothelin levels, gradually decreasing nitrate levels, and gradually increasing cGMP levels. This suggests that active cerebral vasoconstriction due to an imbalance between local vasodilators and vasoconstrictors plays a role in the delayed hypoperfusion phase.     

Aerosolized prostacyclin and inhaled nitric oxide in septic shock — different effects on splanchnic oxygenation?

Objectives To compare the effects of inhaled nitric oxide and aerosolized prostacyclin (PGI₂) on hemodynamics and gas exchange as well as on the indocyanine-green plasma disappearance rate and gastric intramucosal pH in patients with septic shock.Design Prospective, randomized, interventional clinical study.Setting Intensive care unit in a university hospital.Patients Sixteen patients with pulmonary hypertension and septic shock according to the criteria of the ACCP/SCCM consensus conference all requiring norepinephrine and/or epinephrine to maintain mean arterial blood pressure above 65 mmHg.Methods and interventions Patients were randomly assigned to receive either nitric oxide or aerosolized prostacyclin. Nitric oxide was inhaled using a commercially available delivery system, prostacyclin was administered with a modified ultrasound nebulizer. Both nitric oxide and prostacyclin were incrementally adjusted to obtain a 15% decrease of mean pulmonary artery pressure. Hemodynamics and gas exchange as well as indocyaninegreen plasma disappearance rate and gastric intramucosal pH were determined at baseline after 90 min in steady state, after 90 min of nitric oxide inhalation or prostacyclin aerosol administration had elapsed in stable conditions, and after 90 min in stable conditions after nitric oxide or prostacyclin with-drawal.Results Both inhaled nitric oxide and aerosolized prostacyclin selectively reduced the mean pulmonary artery pressure from 35±4, 30±4 mmHg (p<0.05) and 34±4 to 30±3 mmHg (p<0.05) respectively; after removal of nitric oxide and prostacyclin, the mean pulmonary artery pressure returned to the baseline values. Systemic hemodynamics remained unaltered during the vasodilator treatment. While the mean PaO₂ was not significantly influenced, it increased in 4/8 of the NO- and 3/8 of the PGI₂ — treated patients. Neither of the drugs influenced indocyanine-green plasma disappearance rate, but prostacyclin — unlike nitric oxide — significantly increased gastric intramucosal pH (from 7.26±0.07 to 7.30±0.05,p<0.05) which remained elevated in four of these patients after prostacyclin removal, and decreased the arterial-gastric mucosal pressure of carbon dioxide gap from 19±6 to 15±4 mmHg (p<0.05).Conclusions Our data suggest that aerosolized prostacyclin — unlike nitric oxide — has similar beneficial effects on splanchnic perfusion and oxygenation as intravenous prostacyclin without detrimental effects on systemic hemodynamics. The different effects of prostacyclin and nitric oxide might be explained by the longer half-life of prostacyclin associated with a certain spillover into the systemic circulation.Presented in part at the Masterclass Symposium Sepsis in the ICU, Maastricht, June 27–29, 1995     

Detection of drug-induced apoptosis by flow cytometry after alkaline extraction of ethanol fixed cells

A new flow cytometric method was developed to detect apoptotic cells with fragmented DNA and to determine cell cycle distribution of viable cells, in the same sample, by propidium iodide staining. Apoptosis, in HT58 human B lymphoma cells, was induced by etoposide and/or by staurosporine. Using appropriate alkaline solutions (between 1-10 mN NaOH in 150 mM saline) followed by neutralization with buffer solution, the fragmented DNA can be extracted quantitatively from ethanol fixed cells. Further, good resolution of the cell cycle distribution can be obtained in unimpaired cells without RNase treatment. Furthermore, unlike the widely used hypotonic-detergent extraction of unfixed cells, the suggested extraction method can prevent drug-induced disintegration of dead cells when karyorrhexis occurs.
