We compared the effect of a sclerostin antibody to that of a clinically relevant dose of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in a rat model for metaphyseal bone healing. Screws of steel or poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) were inserted bilaterally into the proximal tibia of young male rats. During 4 weeks the animals then received injections of either phosphate buffered saline (control), sclerostin antibody (25 mg/kg, twice weekly) or PTH (5 µg/kg, daily). The healing response around the screws was then assessed by mechanical testing and X‐ray microtomography (µCT). To distinguish between effects on healing and general effects on the skeleton, other untraumatized bone sites and serum biomarkers were also assessed. After 4 weeks of treatment, PTH yielded a 48% increase in screw pull‐out force compared to control (p = 0.03), while the antibody had no significant effect. In contrast, the antibody increased femoral cortical and vertebral strength where PTH had no significant effect. µCT showed only slight changes that were statistically significant for the antibody mainly at cortical sites. The results suggest that a relatively low dose of PTH stimulates metaphyseal repair (screw fixation) specifically, whereas the sclerostin antibody has wide‐spread effects, mainly on cortical bone, with less influence on metaphyseal healing. © 2013 Orthopaedic Research Society.

Life‐threatening arrhythmia is an unusual complication of endomyocardial biopsy in transplanted heart. Herein we described a case of VF during endomyocardial biopsy. The possibility of VF during a biopsy necessitates immediate access to defibrillation during endomyocardial biopsy. 相似文献

Background
The possibilities in the molecular genetics of long QT syndrome (LQTS) and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) has made family screening, with diagnostic and predictive genetic testing part of the health care offer in genetic counselling of inherited arrhythmias, potentially affecting the subjective health among these individuals. The study compared health status among patients at risk of arrhythmia because of family history or clinical diagnosis of LQTS and HCM with reference health status scores of the general population. 相似文献4.
Obesity is becoming a global epidemic in both children and adults, and it is associated with numerous comorbidities such as coronary heart disease, stroke/cerebrovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, and sleep-disordered breathing. Over the past 2 decades, the incidence of and mortality from coronary heart disease and cardiovascular diseases has been continuously declining. In contrast, the incidence of and mortality from heart failure (HF) have been increasing, with HF diagnosed in approximately 5 million Americans and 550,000 new cases diagnosed each year and a death rate looming at 300,000 per year. Over the years, conventional risk factors including hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia have been implicated for these unsavory statistics, and recently many studies have highlighted the important role of obesity as an independent risk factor for HF. Here, the authors review the available literature on the effects of overweight and obesity on a variety of cardiac structural adaptations and alterations, the effects on left ventricular systolic and diastolic function, and their role in the development and prognosis of HF. Numerous studies have demonstrated an "obesity paradox" regarding prognosis, however, in that obese patients with established HF tend to have a more favorable prognosis than do lean patients. Finally, the authors discuss the role of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the risk stratification of obese patients with advanced HF. 相似文献

Purpose
To report the anatomic and visual results following macular buckling for patients with macular retinoschisis related to high myopia.Methods
Thirty-nine highly myopic eyes (mean refractive error −16.7 D; range, −9 to −24 D) of 36 patients (mean age 59 years; range, 35–79 years) presenting with macular retinoschisis associated with a posterior staphyloma, who underwent combined vitrectomy and macular buckling were evaluated. Main outcome measures included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings. Three cases were excluded due to short follow-up (less than 3 months). The mean follow-up was 16 months.Results
The mean BCVA increased from 0.76 to 0.43 LogMAR (p = 0.001). Visual acuity improved in 30 eyes (83.3%), remained stable in three eyes (8.3%) and decreased in three eyes (8.3%). OCT showed resolution of foveoschisis with foveal reattachment in all eyes. None of the evaluated patients developed a macular hole during follow-up.Conclusion
Macular buckling associated with vitrectomy results in good anatomic and visual outcomes in patients with myopic foveoschisis. 相似文献7.

Psychiatric genetic counseling (PGC) is gradually developing globally, with countries in various stages of development. In some, PGC is established as a service or as part of research projects while in others, it is just emerging as a concept. In this article, we describe the current global landscape of this genetic counseling specialty and this field's professional development. Drawing on information provided by expert representatives from 16 countries, we highlight the following: (a) current understanding of PGC; (b) availability of services for patients; (c) availability of training; (d) healthcare system disparities and cultural differences impacting practice; and (e) anticipated challenges going forward. 相似文献

Objective To compare maternal and paternal psychological responses following birth of a healthy baby; and to explore predictors of parental psychological distress.
Design A prospective, longitudinal, population-based cohort study.
Setting A Norwegian district general hospital.
Population One hundred and twenty-seven mothers and 122 fathers were included.
Methods Eligible consenting parents were enrolled. The assessments, which were performed zero to four days after birth, at six weeks and at six months, included General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28), State Anxiety Inventory and Impact of Event Scale. The response rates at the three occasions were 97%, 85% and 71%.
Main outcome measures Symptoms of intrusion, avoidance, arousal and psychological distress including anxiety, depression, social dysfunction and somatisation.
Results Clinically important psychological distress was reported by 37% of the mothers and 13% of the fathers a few days after childbirth ( P < 0.001 ). Severe intrusive stress symptoms were reported by 9% and 2% of mothers and fathers, respectively ( P = 0.002 ). Level of intrusive stress was the outcome that differed most clearly between mothers and fathers at all three points of time. Being a single parent, multiparity and a previous traumatic birth were significant independent predictors of acute maternal psychological distress. After six weeks and six months, the level of psychological distress including symptoms of depression fell to levels found in the general population.
Conclusions Childbirth does not seem to trigger long term psychological distress in most parents. Clinically important psychological distress occurred more frequently in mothers than in fathers. Acute maternal psychological distress was predicted by being a single parent, being multiparous, and having a previous traumatic birth. 相似文献
