This paper reviews existing empirical evidence on the possible influence of a wide range of psychotropic substances on driving ability. Substances which are considered include alcohol; antidepressants; sedatives and hypnotics; stimulants; opiates; cannabis; anaesthetics. Data are much richer in some of these areas than others. Different research approaches are outlined. Legislative, medico-legal and prevention aspects are briefly noted. 相似文献

BARBARO, V., et al .: Do European GSM Mobile Cellular Phones Pose a Potential Risk to Pacemaker Patients? A series of in vivo trials were carried out in order to verify whether the electromagnetic field radiated by GSM (Groupe Systemes Mobiles) mobile cellular phones might affect implanted pacemakers. Two European GSM phones of 2-watt power were tested and trials conducted on 101 pacemaker implanted outpatients attending day hospital for routine check-up, who volunteered for trials. Forty-three pacemaker models from 11 manufacturers were tested in all. When the sensing threshold of the pacemakers was set at a minimum and the antenna of the phone was in direct contact with the patient's chest, interference was detected for 26 implanted pacemakers. Specifically, pulse inhibition in 10 of 101 cases, ventricular triggering in 9 of 46 DDD-VDD pacemakers, and asynchronous pacing in 4 of 52 devices. Pulse inhibition was also observed combined with asynchronous pacing in 1 of 52 cases and with ventricular triggering in 2 of 46 cases. Minimum effect duration was ca. 3 seconds but in 6 cases effects continued as long as the interfering GSM signal was on. No permanent malfunctioning or changes in the programmed parameters were detected. Whenever interference was detected, trials were repeated to determine the maximum sensing threshold at which interference persisted (with the antenna in contact with the skin over the pacemaker). Then maximum distance between antenna and pacemaker at which interference occurred was determined at pacemaker maximum and minimum sensing threshold. Under our experimental conditions electromagnetic interference effects were detected at a maximum distance of 10 cm with the pacemaker programmed at its minimum sensing threshold. When the phone antenna was in direct contact with patient's skin over the implant, electromagnetic interference effects occurred at maximum ventricular and atrial sensing thresholds of 4 mV and 2.5 mV, respectively. 相似文献

Background: Total cavopulmonary connection (TCPC) is performed in patients having a single ventricle to allow the passive flow of systemic venous blood to the lungs. Interventional catheterization is needed to treat residual defects or complications. Aims: We discuss our results concerning 68 patients who had had TCPC from January 1995 to December 2010. Methods: Initial and follow‐up catheterization data were reviewed retrospectively. Mid ‐ term results were evaluated by means of angiography and/or CT scan. Results: Mean age at TCPC was 5 years (2.5–18); mean interval between TCPC and catheterization was 5.6 years (1.5–15). Sixty‐nine catheterizations were performed in 53 patients. Eleven patients (21%) had low venous pressure, did not display a right‐to‐left shunt, and did not need any intervention. Fifteen patients (28%) had low venous pressure and only needed the closure of the fenestration. The remaining 27 patients (51%) needed the following interventions: embolization of venous vessels prompting right‐to‐left shunt (n = 15), stenting or reconnection of pulmonary arteries (n = 5), stenting or recanalization of systemic veins (n = 11), other procedures (n = 5). In 3 patients the fenestration could not be closed due to high venous pressure. After the interventions oxygen saturation increased from 90.5%± 4.8% to 94.7%± 3.6% (P = 0.002). Conclusions: Our data show that 49% of patients with TCPC are in good condition late after surgery. However, half of these patients continue to need interventions generally aimed at suppressing stenoses at various levels of TCPC or at occluding vessels prompting right‐to‐left shunt. This population should enter a multicenter program aimed at identifying patients at risk. (J Interven Cardiol 2012;25:622–627) 相似文献

ALTAMURA, G., ET AL.: Emergency Cardiac Pacing for Severe Bradycardia. Our study included the treatment of transcutaneous cardiac pacing (TCP) in 32 patients: (A) 19 patients were treated in the emergency area for complete symptomatic AV block before endocavitary pacing; (B) five patients were in asystole following DC shock or out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; and (C) eight patients were affected by bifascicular block undergoing emergency surgery and were treated in order to prevent complete AV block. Two transcutaneous stimulators were used. PaceAid-CRC model 50/52 with 20-msec pulse width; the electrodes were positioned on the V, ECG position and on the back. Results: in all but two patients, it was possible to obtain stable cardiac capture; in one patient arrived in hospital in asystole after prolonged cardiac arrest and in the other one was affected by complete AV block, TCP was ineffective. In groups A and B, TCP was maintained for a mean time of 15 minutes; in group C, TCP was tested in all patients, but performed in only one patient during surgery. Mean threshold was 81 mA. Stimulation was well tolerated in all but five patients. TCP is a reliable, noninvasive method that offers the possibility to initiate pacing within seconds and can be used by medical staff. In our opinion, it should be considered as the first choice emergency treatment of severe symptomatic bradycardia. In asystole, beneficial effects can be obtained only if TCP is performed early enough after the onset of arrhythmia. 相似文献

Renal transplantectomy is still a frequent procedure for a transplant surgeon. Nevertheless, it is constantly marred by complications, first of all bleeding. In fact, the local circumstances after the operation and the general health state of the uremic patients lead to a high incidence of this complication. To avoid this, we adopt a particular technique for renal extracapsular transplantectomy, performing three running sutures between the two faces of the renal capsule. This prevents the formation of the hematoma which is the basis of the continuous bleeding and following infection. We collected a series of nine patients who underwent transplantectomy in which we used this technique. No complications were noted. 相似文献

In different species, rapid eye movement sleep (REMS) is characterized by a thermoregulatory impairment. It has been postulated that this impairment depends on a general insufficiency in the hypothalamic integration of autonomic function. This study aims to test this hypothesis by assessing the hypothalamic regulation of body fluid osmolality during the different wake–sleep states in the rat. Arginine‐vasopressin (AVP) plasma levels were determined following intracerebroventricular (ICV) infusions of artificial cerebrospinal fluid (aCSF), either isotonic or made hypertonic by the addition of NaCl at three different concentrations (125, 250 and 500 mm ). Animals were implanted with a cannula within a lateral cerebral ventricle for ICV infusions and with electrodes for the recording of the electroencephalogram. ICV infusions were made in different animals during Wake, REMS or non‐REM sleep (NREMS). The results show that ICV infusion of hypertonic aCSF during REMS induced an increase in AVP plasma levels that was not different from that observed during either Wake or NREMS. These results suggest that the thermoregulatory impairment that characterizes REMS does not depend on a general impairment in the hypothalamic control of body homeostasis. 相似文献

The aims of the study were to verify the efficacy and safety of low energy internal Cardioversion (LEIC) in patients with persistent at rial fibrillation (AF) and to identify the factors affecting the at rial defihrillation threshold (ADT). Forty-nine patients with persistent (lasting ≥ 10 days) AF underwent LEIC. In each patient, two 6 Fr custom-made catheters with large active surface areas were positioned in the coronary sinus (cathode) and the lateral right wall (anode), respectively, for shock delivery, and a tetrapolar lead was placed in the fight ventricular apex for R wave synchronization. Truncated, biphasic (3 ms+3 ms). exponential shocks were used, beginning at 50 V and increasing in steps of 50 V until sinus rhythm had been restored. Mild sedation (diazepam 5 mg IV) was administered to 12 patients. Sinus rhythm was restored in all the subjects with mean voltage and energy levels of 352.0 ± 80.3 V and 8.2 ± 3.4 J, respectively. The ADT in patients pretreated with amiodarone (6.4 ± 1.8 J) was lower than that of patients who had not received any antiarrhythmic drugs (9.2 ± 3.7) (P = 0.04). No ventricular arrhythmias were induced by any of the atrial shocks, and no other complications were observed. During a mean follow-up of 162.9 ± 58.7 days, AF recurred in 21 (43%) patients; 71% of these occurred in the first week after Cardioversion. LEIC is effective in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with persistent AF. The technique seems to be safe and does not require general anesthesia or, in most cases, sedation. Patients pretreated with amiodarone have lower ADTs. 相似文献

The effects of oral propafenone therapy on pacing threshold were studied in 36 patients chronically paced for sick sinus syndrome or AV block. The pacemakers, all unipolar models and with noninvasive threshold measurement facilities, were: 9 VVI, 15 AAI, and 12 DDD. Each patient received an initial propafenone dose of 450 mg/day, that in 18 cases was increased to 900 mg/day. Threshold was tested at baseline and at each dosage after 7 days of therapy. With the lower propafenone dosage the threshold, measured at 2.5 V, rose from 0.14 +/- 0.10 to 0.21 +/- 0.16 msec (+55%) in the atrium (P less than 0.0001) and from 0.10 +/- 0.08 to 0.15 +/- 0.09 msec (+63%) in the ventricle (P less than 0.0001). In the 18 patients who received both dosages, the mean atrial and ventricular threshold increased from 0.12 +/- 0.10 to 0.17 +/- 0.14 msec with the lower dose and to 0.27 +/- 0.22 msec (+125%) with the higher dose (P less than 0.0001 for both increments). With the 900 mg/day dose, a threshold increment greater than or equal to 300% was observed in 15% of the stimulated chambers. A good linear correlation (r = 0.76) was found between the ventricular threshold increment and the drug induced QRS widening. In conclusion, treatment with oral propafenone increases atrial and ventricular stimulation threshold in pacemaker patients. Threshold increment is dose dependent and proportional to the drug induced QRS widening. In the majority of the cases the threshold increment is not clinically significant, but caution must be used in prescribing high doses of the drug to patients with high baseline threshold. 相似文献
