Targeted Endovascular Therapy Combined With Angiographic Wound Blush As A Novel Predictor For Limb Salvage In Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia, Abdullah Al-Mallah, Mohamed Abdelhamid, Mohamed Hamza
Targeted Endovascular Therapy Combined With Angiographic Wound Blush As A Novel Predictor For Limb Salvage In Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia, Abdullah Al-Mallah, Mohamed Abdelhamid, Mohamed Hamza
Al-Azhar International Medical Journal
Abstract: Background: Chronic threatening limb ischemia (CTLI) is a major medical problem affecting limbs, quality of life and survival. Angioplasty is considered as the first choice for treatment. Neither definite strategy was defined as the best option nor intraoperative endpoint for successful angioplasty for infragenicular vessles. Aim: to investigate angiosomal concept and wound blush in wound healing after infra-genicular angioplasty. Methods: 40 patients with CTLI affecting the infra-genicular arteries. Patients were divided into two groups; Direct revascularization (DR) and Indirect Revascularization groups (This was done if the direct revascularization was not technically possible). According to post intervention wound blush, patients …
Ethnic Variability In The Treatment Of Pain, Rafael A. Ortega, Benjamin A. Youdelman, Richard C. Havel
Ethnic Variability In The Treatment Of Pain, Rafael A. Ortega, Benjamin A. Youdelman, Richard C. Havel
Department of Surgery Faculty Papers
Ethnicity has been shown to be an important determinant of behavior during illness, particularly when a painful condition is present. Studies have shown that pain may be undertreated among different ethnic groups of patients. Whereas individual variations in the reaction to pain occur, available data do not support racial and/or ethnic differences in the perception of pain, leaving no justification for this discrepancy in treatment. Regardless of ethnicity, inadequate treatment of pain has been known for some time and has been referred to in recent literature as "oligoanalgesia." Lack of understanding of different ethnic and cultural groups can lead to …

The neurogenetic prototypic disease on which we chose to test our gene therapy strategy is Canavan disease (CD). CD is an autosomal recessive leukodystrophy associated with spongiform degeneration of the brain. At present the disease is uniformly fatal in affected probands. CD is characterized by mutations in the aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene, resulting in loss of enzyme activity. In this review, recent evidence is summarized on the etiology and possible treatments for CD. In particular, we discuss two gene delivery systems representing recent advances in both viral and liposome technology: a novel cationic liposome-polymer-DNA (LPD) complex, DCChol/DOPE-protamine, as well as recombinant …
Laser Skin Graft Harvesting Apparatus And Related Method, David S. Kirn
Laser Skin Graft Harvesting Apparatus And Related Method, David S. Kirn
Surgery Faculty Patents
A laser dermatome is disclosed for harvesting and meshing grafts of skin. A roller driven by a motor lifts the leading edge of a portion of skin for cutting by a beam of light generated by a laser. Adhesive tape attached to the roller aids in lifting the portion of skin and is further utilized to secure the severed portion of skin to the roller. A stage mounted atop an axle supports the laser or a beam director. The movement of the stage is controlled by second and third motors which drive the stage along or rotate it about the …

BACKGROUND: Defects of the facial bone structure are common problems for the facial plastic surgeon. Native type 1 collagen gels (T1CGs) have been shown to mediate repair of facial critical-size defects in rat models.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of T1CG augmented with insulinlike growth factor (IGF) 1, IGF-2, and a combination of IGF-1 and IGF-2 on the repair of facial critical-size defects in a rodent model.
METHODS: Twenty-four retired male breeder Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 4 groups of 6 animals. Facial critical-size defects were created by removing the nasalis bones with a bone-cutting drill. Defects were treated with …
Portocaval-Right Atrial Shunt, Bradley B. Hill
Portocaval-Right Atrial Shunt, Bradley B. Hill
Surgery Faculty Patents
A shunt includes a tubular body having first and second legs at a proximal end and a third leg at a distal end. A fluid distensible balloon and cooperating insufflation conduit are carried on the tubular body. The first leg of the tubular body includes a longitudinal slit for receiving the second leg whereby the first and second legs may be positioned substantially coaxial so as to allow easier introduction of the shunt into the blood vessel of a patient. Similarly, the second leg having a longitudinally slit for receiving a portion of the cooperating insufflation conduit and also holding …

Adenoma Of The Ampulla Of Vater: A Genetic Condition?, Francesco M. Serafini, Larry C. Carey
Adenoma Of The Ampulla Of Vater: A Genetic Condition?, Francesco M. Serafini, Larry C. Carey
Surgery Faculty Publications
The etiology of adenoma of the ampulla of Vater is not well understood. Previous authors reported the association of this neoplasm with polycystic kidney disease of two fraternal sisters. They concluded that these two conditions were somehow related. We describe a case of ampullary adenoma associated with polycystic kidney disease. This presentation raises again the question of a possible link between these two diseases.
Needle Localization For Breast Biopsy: The Patient's Experience, Marian De Walt Morgan
Needle Localization For Breast Biopsy: The Patient's Experience, Marian De Walt Morgan
Psychology Theses & Dissertations
The needle localization procedure for breast biopsy (NLP) can be painful and distressing for some women. This study was carried out to learn what factors might increase or decrease NLP pain and distress, and to gain insight into possible interventions to make the procedure more comfortable for all patients. One hundred and thirty-eight women were surveyed following breast needle localization at two central Virginia hospitals. The influence of eight variables (lidocaine, self-regulation, anxiety, worry about breast cancer, breast tenderness, finding mammography painful, difficulty with surgery, and distress of blood drawing) on four outcome variables (pain incidence, pain intensity, pain unpleasantness, …
