Postpartum urinary incontinence: a comparison of vaginal delivery, elective, and emergent cesarean section

The aim of this study was to assess the impact of delivery on the pelvic floor and whether cesarean section (C/S) can prevent pelvic floor injury. Five hundred thirty nine women were divided into three groups according to the delivery method adopted: elective C/S, emergent C/S, and vaginal delivery. A urinary incontinence questionnaire survey was conducted around 1 year postpartum. Emergent C/S may be a major risk factor for postpartum urinary incontinence and interfere with the benefit of elective C/S for preventing pelvic floor injury. Hence, not all C/S deliveries can reduce the likelihood of postpartum urinary incontinence. The key lies in whether the C/S is performed before labor.     

紧急纤维支气管镜在老年高危患者中的应用

目的　研究紧急纤维支气管镜 (纤支镜 )在老年高危患者中的应用。方法　老年急危重症患者 77例 ,其中急性生理和慢性健康评估 (APACHEⅡ )计分 >14分者 65例。所有患者共行 10 2例次紧急纤支镜操作 ,其中肺泡灌洗、气道分泌物吸引 76例次 ;纤支镜引导下经鼻气管插管 19例次 ;异物吸出 6例次。结果　 10 2例次紧急纤支镜操作抢救总有效率为 80 .3 % ,无危及生命的并发症发生。结论　紧急纤维支气管镜是抢救急危重症患者呼吸道病变紧急处理的有力武器 ,高龄严重心、肺功能障碍不是纤支镜操作的禁忌证     

Literacy for early childhood: Learning from the learners

The originator of LETTERLAND describes a unique teaching model which blends a structured phonics approach with whole language teaching. Children are introduced to a language about language which enables them to acquire a confident mastery of print based on parallel learning. Its pictogrammatic approach creates a stimulus to inquiry and a learning environment which is imaginative and friendly.

急诊冠状动脉内支架植入治疗急性心肌梗死——围术期死亡和近期预后的研究

为评价急性心肌梗死(AMI)患者急诊经皮冠状动脉腔内成形(PTCA)和冠状动脉内支架植入围术期死亡和近期预后的影响因素,通过对74例行急诊冠状动脉内支架植入的AMI,术后6个月内的临床随访和冠状动脉造影随访,进行多因素相关回归分析。结果表明,多支病变患者的糖尿病、高血压和高血脂的合并比例明显高于单支病变患者;总围术期内死亡率为5.4％,剔除合并心源性休克患者后,死亡率为1.4％;12例75岁以上的患者中,2例死于心源性休克,1例死于心脏破裂,5例心源性休克患者死亡3例;术中非致命性合并症的发生率在单支和多支病变组之间差异无显著性(P>0.05);多元回归分析表明血流动力学状态和患者的年龄是决定AMI患者围术期死亡的独立相关因素;多支病变患者术后6个月内心脏事件发生率明显高于单支病变组;术前和术后6个月内的患者左心室射血分数(LVEF)明显改善;而且单支和多支病变组之间术后6个月时的LVEF之间无显著性差异。     

低龄危重患儿的紧急血液透析疗法

目的：探讨低龄儿血液透析技术实施的特点，以提高婴幼儿危重症抢救成功率。采用瑞典产Gambro AK90s血透机与宁波产0.5-0.8cm醋酸纤维透析器对33例年龄5个月至7岁危重儿实施紧急血液透析疗法，其中急性肾衰竭20例，氟乙酰胺毒鼠药中毒13例。结果：33例患儿均成功地实施39例次紧急血液透析，透析中发生并发症17例（43.59％）经对症处理缓解。30例治愈，治愈率90.9％。结论：紧急血液透析技术是成功地抢救婴幼儿危重症最为快速、有效的措施之一。     

Unusual association of Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome and wandering spleen:A case report

BACKGROUND Axenfeld-Rieger syndrome(ARS)is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by ocular developmental disorders and its association with torsion of wandering spleen(WS)has not been reported to date to the best of our knowledge.This study aimed to describe a rare case of ARS observed at our emergency department.CASE SUMMARY A 25-year-old female presented with a constant lower abdominal pain of increasing severity.Diagnostic computed tomography with intravenous contrast material showed a non-homogenously enhanced splenic parenchyma with a twisted vascular pedicle.Further,an emergent laparoscopic exploration was performed,and an ischemic spleen without its normal ligamentous attachments was noted.Notably,the spleen did not regain its normal vascularity after detorsion;thus,we performed the laparoscopic total splenectomy.The postoperative course was uneventful,and the patient was discharged on the 5th postoperative day.This case demonstrates a rare association of WS and ARS.CONCLUSION Early diagnosis of WS in the emergency department is important to prevent pedicle torsion or splenic necrosis and to avoid splenectomy.     

Randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,safety and immunogenicity study of 4 formulations of Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed plus CPG 7909 (AV7909) in healthy adult volunteers

A new anthrax vaccine that could accelerate the immune response and possibly reduce the number of injections needed for protection would be desirable in a post-exposure setting.
