    Grading of direct laryngoscopy A survey of current practice (1994)

    Notes: One hundred and twenty anaesthetists (30 of each grade), from three separate regions, were interviewed as to how they recorded the appearance of laryngeal structures at direct laryngoscopy and about their knowledge of the commonly used numerical grading system. About two-thirds of anaesthetists surveyed (69.2%) used the numerical grading system, but of these, over half could not identify a‘grade 2’laryngoscopic appearance correctly. Of anaesthetists who did not use the numerical method, over half could not correctly state the difference between a‘grade 2’and a‘grade 3’laryngoscopic appearance. Over 40% of anaesthetists stated incorrectly that the grading should be made on the initial view, even when laryngeal pressure had been needed. Junior anaesthetists were more likely to use the numerical method of recording. The results show that there is unacceptable uncertainty and inaccuracy in the use of the numerical grading system by users as well as non-users, which makes the current routine clinical use of the numerical grading system unsatisfactory.

    Favorable short-term and long-term outcome after elective radical rectal cancer resection in patients 75 years of age or older (2000)

    Notes: Abstract PURPOSE: Because the elderly population in Western countries is rapidly increasing, as is their life expectancy, studies aimed at determining the impact of major surgery for primary rectal cancer in this group are warranted. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative morbidity and mortality and long-term disease-specific and overall survival in primary rectal cancer patients, older and younger than 75 years of age, subject to major pelvic surgery. METHODS: From September 1986 to December 1996, the Prospective Colorectal Service Database identified 1,120 consecutive patients who underwent major pelvic surgery for primary rectal cancer. Of these, 157 (15 percent) were 75 years of age or older and comprise the elderly group. From the remaining 963 patients younger than 75 years of age, a representative random sample of 174 was selected and constitutes the younger group. Data were obtained from computerized databases and confirmed via chart review and telephone interviews. RESULTS: Perioperative complications were observed in 53 (34 percent) elderly and 63 (36 percent;P=not significant) younger patients. Perioperative deaths occurred in two (1.3 percent) elderly and one (0.6 percent;P=not significant) younger patient. The median follow-up time was 48 months. Although the overall survival was lower in the elderly group (P=0.02; the 5-year overall survival rates were 51 and 66 percent), the disease-specific survival rate was similar in the two groups (P=0.75; the 5-year disease-specific survival rates were 69 and 71 percent). CONCLUSION: In select individuals 75 years of age or older, major pelvic surgery for primary rectal cancer can be done with perioperative morbidity and mortality rates comparable to those obtained in younger individuals, while achieving excellent disease-specific and overall long-term survival.

    Predictive value of a negative computed tomographic scan in 100 patients with rectal carcinoma (1991)
    Springer

    Notes: Abstract The predictive value of a negative computed tomographic (CT) scan was assessed in a group of 100 patients with rectal carcinoma by correlating operative findings and pathologic stages in the patients who had no evidence of extrapelvic metastases on a preoperative CT scan. Sixty-four patients (64 percent) had stage T3 or T4 tumors. Ten patients had unsuspected distant metastases for an overall negative predictive value of 90 percent. Seven patients had small liver metastases, and three had periaortic nodal metastases. Six of the patients with liver metastases had them completely resected at the original laparotomy. The predictive value of the CT scan diminished in the patients who were selected to receive full-dose preoperative radiation therapy and had a mean delay of 12 weeks between CT scan and laparotomy. The preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen levels were of no value in predicting the presence of distant metastases. These results show that a negative CT scan will fail to detect 10 percent of patients with small liver metastases or positive periaortic nodes.

    Local recognition of tits geometries of classical type (1986)

    Notes: Abstract A method, based on Tits' work and involving an idea of M. Ronan, is developed in order to recognize certain geometries which are locally buildings of classical type as quotients of buildings. Two applications are treated in detail showing that every finite nearly classical near polygon must be a dual polar space and that in the finite case of Cooperstein's theorem characterizing geometries of Lie type D n , the hypotheses can be weakened considerably.

    Effect of myo-inositol supplementation on the development of renal pathological changes in the Cohen diabetic (type 2) rat (1995)

    Notes: Summary A lower concentration of intracellular myo -inositol has been implicated in the development of diabetic nephropathy. This was based on short-term studies showing that early administration of aldose reductase inhibitors or myo -inositol supplementation reduces increased glomerular filtration rate and partly reduces increased urinary albumin excretion in streptozotocin diabetic rats. We studied the effect of long-term (4 months) administration of 1 % myo -inositol supplement to the Cohen diabetic (type 2) rat on the development of nephropathy and renal Na+-K+-ATPase. This treatment reduced the increased renal Na+-K+-ATPase activity but had no effect on blood glucose levels, body weight, increased kidney weight, or creatinine clearance and did not prevent or reduce the development of renal glomerular pathology. There was no correlation between the level of Na+-K+-ATPase activity and the degree of nephropathy. It is possible that the renal pathological changes are due to metabolic and humoral factors resulting from hyperglycaemia, other than myo -inositol depletion. The fact that myo -inositol treatment had no effect on the development of renal pathological changes but was shown to have a beneficial effect on restoring impaired conduction velocity and on the disruption of structural elements in the nerve indicates that the effect of the biological changes ensuing from hyperglycaemia vary in different tissues depending on local conditions.
