OBJECTIVEDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a major focus of patient safety indicators and a common cause of morbidity and mortality. Many practices have employed lower-extremity screening ultrasonography in addition to chemoprophylaxis and the use of sequential compression devices in an effort to reduce poor outcomes. However, the role of screening in directly decreasing pulmonary emboli (PEs) and mortality is unclear. At the University of Mississippi Medical Center, a policy change provided the opportunity to compare independent groups: patients treated under a prior paradigm of weekly screening ultrasonography versus a post–policy change group in which weekly surveillance was no longer performed.METHODSA total of 2532 consecutive cases were reviewed, with a 4-month washout period around the time of the policy change. Criteria for inclusion were admission to the neurosurgical service or consultation for ≥ 72 hours and hospitalization for ≥ 72 hours. Patients with a known diagnosis of DVT on admission or previous inferior vena cava (IVC) filter placement were excluded. The primary outcome examined was the rate of PE diagnosis, with secondary outcomes of all-cause mortality at discharge, DVT diagnosis rate, and IVC filter placement rate. A p value < 0.05 was considered significant.RESULTSA total of 485 patients met the criteria for the pre–policy change group and 504 for the post–policy change group. Data are presented as screening (pre–policy change) versus no screening (post–policy change). There was no difference in the PE rate (2% in both groups, p = 0.72) or all-cause mortality at discharge (7% vs 6%, p = 0.49). There were significant differences in the lower-extremity DVT rate (10% vs 3%, p < 0.01) or IVC filter rate (6% vs 2%, p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONSBased on these data, screening Doppler ultrasound examinations, in conjunction with standard-of-practice techniques to prevent thromboembolism, do not appear to confer a benefit to patients. While the screening group had significantly higher rates of DVT diagnosis and IVC filter placement, the screening, additional diagnoses, and subsequent interventions did not appear to improve patient outcomes. Ultimately, this makes DVT screening difficult to justify.

OBJECTIVEA high level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has been implicated in brain arteriovenous malformation (bAVM) bleeding and rupture. However, direct evidence is missing. In this study the authors used a mouse bAVM model to test the hypothesis that elevation of focal VEGF levels in bAVMs exacerbates the severity of bAVM hemorrhage.METHODSBrain AVMs were induced in adult mice in which activin receptor–like kinase 1 (Alk1, a gene that causes AVM) gene exons 4–6 were floxed by intrabasal ganglia injection of an adenoviral vector expressing Cre recombinase to induce Alk1 mutation and an adeno-associated viral vector expressing human VEGF (AAV-VEGF) to induce angiogenesis. Two doses of AAV-VEGF (5 × 109 [high] or 2 × 109 [low]) viral genomes were used. In addition, the common carotid artery and external jugular vein were anastomosed in a group of mice treated with low-dose AAV-VEGF 6 weeks after the model induction to induce cerebral venous hypertension (VH), because VH increases the VEGF level in the brain. Brain samples were collected 8 weeks after the model induction. Hemorrhages in the bAVM lesions were quantified on brain sections stained with Prussian blue, which detects iron deposition. VEGF levels were quantified in bAVM tissue by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.RESULTSCompared to mice injected with a low dose of AAV-VEGF, the mice injected with a high dose had higher levels of VEGF (p = 0.003) and larger Prussian blue–positive areas in the bAVM lesion at 8 or 9 weeks after model induction (p = 0.002). VH increased bAVM hemorrhage in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group. The overall mortality in the high-dose AAV-VEGF group was 26.7%, whereas no mouse died in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group without VH. In contrast, VH caused a mortality of 50% in the low-dose AAV-VEGF group.CONCLUSIONSUsing mouse bAVM models, the authors provided direct evidence that elevation of the VEGF level increases bAVM hemorrhage and mouse mortality.

OBJECTIVELittle is known about the risk factors for postoperative subaxial cervical kyphosis following craniovertebral junction (CVJ) fixation. The object of this study was to evaluate postoperative changes in cervical alignment and to identify the risk factors for postoperative kyphotic change in the subaxial cervical spine after CVJ fixation.METHODSOne hundred fifteen patients were retrospectively analyzed for postoperative subaxial kyphosis after CVJ fixation. Relations between subaxial kyphosis and radiological risk factors, including segmental angles and ranges of motion (ROMs) at C0–1, C1–2, and C2–7, and clinical factors, such as age, sex, etiology, occipital fixation, extensor muscle resection at C2, additional C1–2 posterior wiring, and subaxial laminoplasty, were investigated. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the risk factors for postoperative kyphotic changes in the subaxial cervical spine.RESULTSThe C2–7 angle change was more than −10° in 30 (26.1%) of the 115 patients. Risk factor analysis showed CVJ fixation combined with subaxial laminoplasty (OR 9.336, 95% CI 1.484–58.734, p = 0.017) and a small ROM at the C0–1 segment (OR 0.836, 95% CI 0.757–0.923, p < 0.01) were related to postoperative subaxial kyphotic change. On the other hand, age, sex, resection of the C2 extensor muscle, rheumatoid arthritis, additional C1–2 posterior wiring, and postoperative segmental angles were not risk factors for postoperative subaxial kyphosisCONCLUSIONSSubaxial alignment change is not uncommon after CVJ fixation. Muscle detachment at the C2 spinous process was not a risk factor of kyphotic change. The study findings suggest that a small ROM at the C0–1 segment with or without occipital fixation and combined subaxial laminoplasty are risk factors for subaxial kyphotic change.

A large number of common etiological factors, among which there are frequent recurrent acute respiratory viral infections, are known to contribute to the development of dental caries. The aim of this study is to investigate the dynamics of the parameters of oral fluid viscosity and pH in children with recurrent acute respiratory viral infections in the course of preventive treatment. The study included 80 children divided into 4 groups of 20 people in each. The viscosity of the oral fluid was assessed by the method of T. L. Redinova. The oral fluid pH was evaluated using the universal indicator paper. The findings obtained were statistically processed by the Student's t-distribution, the results were considered reliable at p ≤ 0.05. The incidence rate of acute respiratory viral infections was determined by studying medical records and by questioning the parents. The effectiveness of therapeutic and preventive measures was assessed in 1 and 6 months after the first visit to dentist’s office. The parameters of oral fluid viscosity were within the normal range in all groups under the study. The children of groups 3 and 4, who were found to more often suffer from acute respiratory viral infections demonstrated that in 6 months following the completion of the preventive treatment we elaborated this value remained lower than during the first examination. The study of the oral fluid pH in the children of the examined groups showed its positive changes in all cases. During the second examination, an increase in the parameters ​​was observed in all the test groups, but these changes were significant in the 4 group of children (6.90 ± 0.05 units), who kept the complex of preventive measured we designed. During the 3rd check-up in 6 months, the result remained stable in the children of the 3rd and 4th test groups (6.79 ± 0.05 units and 6.87 ± 0.06 units, respectively). We can suggest that significant improvement in the values of oral fluid viscosity and pH in all the test groups is due to regular oral care and good oral hygiene, use of therapeutic and prophylactic means as well as additional hygiene products.

Introduction. Satellite radar altimeter is an essential part of the Earth remote sensing space missions. Satellite altimeter on-board delay-lock loop, by a widely shared concept, is operationally just a tool of a reliable retaining of received echo-signal within the tracking window, while “fine” altimetric parameter (orbit height, significant wave height, scattering cross section per unit of a probed surface, etc.) measuring is committed to the ground-based retracking of data. In particular, in the course of retracking altimeter data are being filtered and/or smoothed.Objective. The paper subject is study of retracking algorithms of altimeter data transmitted from the space vehicle to the ground segment.Methods and materials. It is known that data filtering already presents on-board the space vehicle and is implemented in delay-lock loop based on the α–β-filter. However, at the stage of ground-based retracking it seems more appropriate to use the Kalman filter, which possesses a number of theoretical optimal features and is efficient as for utilization of the available computational resource.Results and conclusions. In the paper implementation of filtering and smoothing via Kalman algorithm is described. On the ground of computer simulation data it is stated that Kalman filtering and smoothing make estimate accuracy two and more times higher depending on significant wave height.

Introduction. The modern approach for ensuring marine activities of necessary quality related to the assessment of current information on the state of the ocean environment in Russia is clearly insufficient. The development of operational methods and instruments of observation, as well as the assessment of the state of the ocean and its forecast naturally determine such an approach. Therefore, the development of the concept, tools and methods of obtaining data is an urgent task of the operational Oceanography formation.Objective. The objective of the paper is to con-sider the concept of ocean surface monitoring using short-wave surface wave radar.Methods and materials. The paper presents a number of specific Oceanologic examples that require operational monitoring of the state of coastal waters of the oceans and individual regions. Also, it describes observational systems used in other countries. The paper pays special attention for the development of radar sensing of surface waters, carried out in our country occasionally. The resonant nature of the reflections gives the opportunity to obtain maps of high-precision measurements of surface currents and wave characteristics on the long-range area in real time. The paper notes difficulties of the experiments implementation and the results interpretation, shows the insistent issues for the establishment of the ocean surface operational monitoring, and gives the approaches for solvation of the existing problems. The paper formulates the main task of the world ocean parameters forecast for ensuring of the sea transport safety from natural and anthropogenic threats, as well as formulates the problems solution of effective nature management.Results. The paper shows that the optimal means of natural data acquisition is the creation of an observation network of coastal HF radars, which enables to assess surface currents and wave characteristics, as well as to solve the problem of monitoring. It is Important to develop an adequate coastal model and correlate its parameters with experimental data. The adaptive modeling and monitoring by modern technical means can overcome inadequacy of physical models to specific natural conditions can.Conclusion. By assimilation in hydrodynamic and wave models, these data become applicable in spatial mapping of hydrophysical inhomogeneities of the water layer, sound velocity, and underwater acoustic noise.
