Background Most flap failures in the lower limb are on account of venous congestion. Literature shows a decrease in the incidence of venous failure when two veins are anastomosed. The thoracodorsal pedicle of the latissimus dorsi free flap affords the possibility of a single venous anastomosis. The lack of a second venous outflow could result in venous congestion in the distal limits of the flap, particularly when long flaps are required for large defects or when the recipient veins are smaller in diameter. Methods We describe a consecutive series of 11 cases of latissimus dorsi flaps for leg and foot defects with a mean defect size of 310 cm 2 , where the serratus anterior vein was used as a second venous outflow channel to ensure maximal venous drainage. Results There were no re-explorations for anastomotic causes. Only one case had partial distal muscle necrosis. There was a delayed anastomotic blowout due to infection resulting in amputation in one case. There was no partial distal muscle necrosis in nine of the ten cases. Conclusion Using the serratus vein as a second venous outflow is of use in reducing incidence of venous occlusion and distal muscle necrosis and can be specially indicated for large flaps and venous diameter discrepancy. 相似文献

Purpose:To assess the feasibility of measuring patients’ visual acuity (VA) in their homes by their caregivers.Methods:Patients consulting in a tertiary eye care institute were prospectively enrolled with informed consent. All underwent standard COMPlog distance VA testing. Patients and caregivers were oriented to test distance VA using the Peek Acuity app. The app was installed on the caregiver’s or patient’s smartphone. The patient’s VA was measured by the caregiver in the clinic (baseline value) under supervision. After 1 week, the caregivers recorded the patient’s VA with the Peek Acuity app at their home and reported the value in a telephone consultation. A questionnaire to assess the ease of using the app was administered at both the baseline visit and 1 week later.Results:A total of 100 patients (age group: 13 to 76 years) and 100 caregivers (age group: 17 to 65 years) participated. VA measurements with the Peek Acuity app were comparable with COMPlog (P > 0.1) both during the baseline and after 1-week measurement, regardless of the underlying ocular condition or educational level of the caregivers/patients. Most caregivers (95%) felt the app was easy to use.Conclusion:Though the Peek Acuity app was originally developed for health care workers to be used in field visits, we found that with proper orientation, the layperson can also use it. Such orientation can enable caregivers to effectively measure VA at home. Such a tool would enhance teleophthalmology consultations and can minimize the need for short follow-up visits. 相似文献

An outbreak of Acinetobacter spp infection in the neonatal unit at Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India, is described. During a 6-month period, 68 strains of Acinetobacter baumannii were isolated from the blood and CSF of 47 neonates admitted to the intensive care unit. Diagnosis of clinically significant bacteremia was made in 36 patients. On environmental/personnel sampling, Acinetobacter spp isolates with similar antibiogram were recovered from intravenous catheter and washbasin. Control of the outbreak was possible only after strict infection control practices in the unit. It was concluded that any clinical multidrug resistant A. baumannii isolate can be a potential nosocomial outbreak strain. 相似文献

ABSTRACTIn many forensic circumstances, the femur is fragmented due to decomposition and mutilation, thus necessitating development and application of regression equations to estimate the length of the femur from its fragments. In this study, regression equations were derived for the prediction of the femoral length, utilizing 11 standard femoral measurements (maximum length of femur, epicondylar breadth, vertical head diameter, transverse head diameter, vertical neck diameter, transverse neck diameter, neck length, subtrochanteric anterior–posterior diameter, subtrochanteric transverse diameter, mid-shaft anterior–posterior diameter and mid-shaft transverse diameter) obtained from 86 femora belonging to a contemporary Sri Lankan population. Univariate regression equations with moderate to high correlations (0.226 to 0.714) were formulated for the estimation of the maximum femoral length from the measurements of fragments of the femur. Of the single variables, the transverse neck diameter emerged as the best predictor (r = 0.714, SEE = 18.6596) of the maximum length of the femur. The multiple regression equations using a combination of variables yielded higher correlations (0.774–0.857) with lower error estimates (14.18–16.96). The regression equations presented in this study can be used to estimate the length of the femur of unknown, mutilated and dismembered human skeletal remains with considerable accuracy. 相似文献

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of microwave irradiation in disinfecting gypsum casts and also to compare its efficacy with validated method of chemical disinfection. The present study is an ex vivo study conducted on a sample of five irreversible hydrocolloid impressions in vitro and on ten patients gypsum casts in vivo following standard impression techniques to check the efficacy of microwave oven irradiation and compare its efficacy with standard chemical method of disinfection. Results were analysed using Mann–Whitney test and Wilcoxon signed rank test. Untreated gypsum casts showed cfu/ml counts with a median log value of 6, while microwave-irradiated ones had median cfu/ml counts of 0. Casts poured from chemically disinfected impressions demonstrated cfu/ml counts with a median log value of 5. Microwave irradiation was found to be effective in disinfecting gypsum casts when compared to chemical disinfectant in disinfecting dental impressions. 相似文献
