    Notes: Abstract Objective: To investigate the effects of superior mesenteric artery (SMA) flow reduction on the jejunal intramucosal pH (pHi) and to compare these effects with corresponding changes of mesenteric oxygen transport variables and oxygen tensions on the surfaces of the jejunal serosa and mucosa. Design: Prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study. Setting: Animal research laboratory. Subjects: 20 domestic pigs. Interventions: Mechanical flow reduction in the SMA. The animals were randomized to have an SMA flow of 0%, 25%, 38%, 50% or 100% (control). Measurements and main results: Measurements (baseline, ischemia, reperfusion) consisted of hemodynamic and oxygen transport variables, SMA blood flow, mesenteric oxygen transport variables, pHi and oxygen tensions of the jejunal serosa and mucosa. Flow reduction in the SMA resulted in a significant decrease of pHi indicating ischemia earlier than mesenteric oxygen transport variables. The relationship between mesenteric oxygen delivery (DO2ms) and pHi during acute ischemia is best described by a sigmoid curve. There was a linear correlation between the changes of the jejunal surface oxygen tensions and pHi due to SMA flow reduction. Conclusion: The sigmoid relationship between pHi and DO2ms indicated that pHi is a sensitive parameter for detecting ischemia at 50% of the baseline oxygen delivery and that below 25% there was no further decrease of pHi. In contrast, mesenteric and whole body oxygen transport parameters were not indicative of impaired mucosal oxygen supply.

    Notes: Zero field magnetic resonance experiments using semiselective excitation by low frequency pulses are analyzed. The prospects of phase cycling experiments in zero field are discussed and the differences between excitation by low frequency and direct current pulses are outlined. It is demonstrated that despite the selectivity of excitation all three transitions in a three-level system are observed. Deuterium quadrupolar resonance and computer simulations are employed to verify predictions.

    Notes: The aim of this prospective study was to assess predictors of long-term outcome in patients with documented or suspected coronary artery disease who survive major non-cardiac surgery. The impact of patients' comorbidities, pre-operative heart rate variability and postoperative increase in cardiac troponin I on all-cause mortality and major cardiac events within 2 years was explored using multivariable logistic regression. Six of 173 patients died within the first month after surgery and were excluded from the study. Thirty-four of 167 patients (20%) died 1–24 months after surgery. Independent predictors of all-cause mortality were history of congestive heart failure (odds ratio 6.4 [95%, confidence interval 1.7–24]), pre-operatively depressed heart rate variability (odds ratio 6.4 [95%, confidence interval 1.9–21]), and age 〉 70 years (odds ratio 4.5 [95%, confidence interval 1.2–16]). In contrast, postoperative elevation of cardiac troponin I did not independently predict all-cause mortality or major cardiac events.

    Notes: Very-long-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase deficiency is an inborn error of fatty acid metabolism. The clinical presentation of this disease in children is either a severe form with onset of symptoms in the first months of life, cardiomyopathy, metabolic acidosis, myopathy and a high mortality, or a less severe form manifesting mainly with hypoglycaemia. Perioperative fasting and (even emotional) stress can trigger metabolic decompensation through the altered metabolism of endogenous fatty acids resulting in hypoglycaemia, acute cardiac and hepatic dysfunction and rhabdomyolysis. We report the perioperative management of a 9-year-old boy suffering from the severe form of this disease who underwent circumcision. Metabolism was kept stable in this child by using a glucose–electrolyte infusion throughout the perioperative period to avoid the biochemical consequences of fasting and a benzodiazepine–opioid technique combined with regional anaesthesia to minimize the stress response. Considering reports about a possible interference of propofol with fatty acid oxidation and to avoid the unnecessary administration of fatty acids, propofol should not be used in these patients.

    Description / Table of Contents: Resume Le transport de l'eau dans le béton d'enrobage est l'un des facteurs agissant le plus sur la durabiliteé des constructions en béton, en raison des effets notables qui en résultent sur la perméabilité au gaz, l'échange gazeux et le transport d'haloïdes et, par voie de conséquence, sur la corrosion de l'armature. Le transport de l'eau peut être quantifié simplement en procédant à des essais classiques d'absorption et d'évaporation. Une série d'essais de ce type ont été réalisés à l'EMPA. A cet effet, on a utilisé des carottes de petit diamètre (50 mm) et de différentes longueurs, munies à une extrémité d'une face de coffrage et provenant d'éléments de murs âgés de 4 à 5 ans, et qui ont été stockées dans des conditions climatiques constantes, jusqu'à 1 année et demie avant l'essai d'absorption. Le béton pouvait donc être considéré comme totalement hydraté et la réparitition de l'humidité dans les carottes était homogène au moment du démarrage des essais d'absorption. Quatre catégories de béton, différenciées par leur rapport eau/ciment (0,5; 0,6) et la teneur en air (2% vol.; 5% vol.) ont été examinées. La teneur et la granulométrie des granulats (diam. max. des grains: 32 mm) et, par conséquent, la quote-part volumétrique et la structure ‘externe’ de la pierre de ciment étaient identiques pour toutes les catégories de béton essayées. Il est évident que les essais d'absorption et d'évaporation ne permettent de tirer que des conclusions à caractère global sur le transport de l'eau. Il n'en ressort aucune information sur la répartition géométrique de l'eau pendant les essais; pour cela, il est nécessaire d'avoir recours à des méthodes de mesures tomographiques non destructrices. Pour l'étude en cours, on a utilisé avec succès la radio-tomographie assistée par ordinateur et l'imagerie par résonance magnetique (IRM). En particulier, au moyen de l'IRM au deutérium, il a été possible, lors d'essais d'absorption, de rendre visibles des fronts ascendants; il semble donc raisonnable d'utiliser plus fréquemment cette méthode dans le cadre des recherches sur le transport de l'eau dans le béton d'enrobage. Les résultats des essais ont permis de tirer quelques conclusions plus précises sur le transport de l'eau. On a pu constater, entre autres, que le béton d'enrobage se distinguait de manière évidente, également dans ce domaine, du béton interne et que les dérives observées quant à l'absorption de l'eau, par rapport à la ‘loi de la racine carrée du temps’, ne semblaient pas être provoquées par une répartition non homogène de l'humidité mais par la structure du système poreux capillaire. La comparaison de mesures IRM au deutérium avec des essais d'absorption classiques a permis de définir un modèle de pénétration d'eau dans un système poreux partiellement rempli.
    Notes: Summary One-dimensional water transport in cores of different concrete types with a moulded surface at one end was investigated by the simple measurement of mass changes during suction and by evaporation tests. Non-destructive methods (magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and x-ray tomography) were applied successfully to the localization of water distribution within the concrete during such tests. Before the suction test was carried out, all samples were stored for 18 months under constant climatic conditions (35% RH, 70% RH, or 90% RH) to avoid inhomogeneous humidity distributions. They were then sealed with aluminium tape (epoxy in the MRI measurement) on all faces except the moulded surface, thus guaranteeing one-dimensional flow.
