Monitoring teamwork: a narrative review
Authors: Rutherford J. S. 
Published: January 2017

SummaryA narrative review was carried out to identify articles on monitoring of teamwork, with particular relevance to anaesthetists. The papers reviewed showed that team monitoring takes place both implicitly and explicitly in the anaesthetic environment. No single optimal model of teamwork monitoring for all situations was identified. Most of the studies identified were of a pre‐intervention, post‐intervention design, without randomisation or control group. Information shared during a formal briefing is more likely to be recalled, and provides a basis for a shared team mental model. A number of studies appeared to show that targeted teamwork training has a positive impact on both teamwork and patient safety.
Intravascular oxygen sensors with novel applications for bedside respiratory monitoring
Authors: Formenti F. , Farmery A. D. 
Published: January 2017

SummaryMeasurement allows us to quantify various parameters and variables in natural systems. In addition, by measuring the effect by which a perturbation of one part of the system influences the system as a whole, insights into the functional mechanisms of the system can be inferred. Clinical monitoring has a different role to that of scientific measurement. Monitoring describes measurements whose prime purpose is not to give insights into underlying mechanisms, but to provide information to ‘warn’ of imminent events. What is often more important is the description of trends in measured variables. In this article, we give some examples ‐ focussed around oxygen sensors ‐ of how new sensors can make important measurements and might in the future contribute to improved clinical management.

Published: January 2017

AbstractWe examined the feasibility of umbilical diverting ileostomy for overweight and obese patients with rectal cancer undergoing laparoscopic surgery. Four patients who were overweight or obese (BMI > 27 kg/m2) were initially scheduled for the creation of a conventional loop ileostomy. Intraoperatively, however, this was considered too complicated because of thick subcutaneous fat, bulky mesentery, or both. Instead, patients received a diverting ileostomy with the placement of an umbilical stoma. All patients had protruding umbilical ileostomies. No severe stoma‐related complications were encountered. One patient had minor skin dehiscence, and another had paralytic ileus but resumed oral intake after a short time. Performing a temporary loop ileostomy at the umbilicus was safe and feasible in this small group of overweight and obese patients. This stoma placement may avoid the problems inherent to conventional loop ileostomy in obese subjects.

Published: January 2017

AbstractIntroductionLaparoscopic hepatectomy is difficult because surgeons must perform the transection using many (four and more) energy devices and without direct manual maneuvers. Here we introduce hepatic transection by the classical method with a few (two or three) energy devices.Materials and Surgical TechniqueWe performed laparoscopic hepatectomy for 40 patients with hepatic tumor and liver dysfunction. For parenchymal transection, we used bipolar radiofrequency coagulation forceps connected to a voltage‐controlled electrosurgical generator and ultrasonic dissector. The demarcation of the liver surface was made by an ultrasonic dissector. Along the demarcation line, the blades of a BiClamp were opened slightly and inserted into the hepatic parenchyma. We clamped slowly, softly, and gradually, and a small amount of hepatic parenchyma was consequently coagulated and fractured. After the crush, the small vessels and intrahepatic bile duct that were sealed were left as atrophic strings, and the strings were divided by an ultrasonic dissector. Large vessels and Glisson's sheaths were left because of the small clamp. Large Glisson's sheaths and hepatic veins were ligated with a titanium clip or autosutures, and cut without bile leakage or bleeding. The mean operation time of the procedure was 196.9 min, mean blood loss was 69.9 mL, and mean postoperative hospitalization was 9.5 days. No blood transfusions were needed. Two cases had perioperative complications—one involving right shoulder pain and the other involving ascites due to liver dysfunction—but there were no serious postoperative complications.DiscussionThe present results appear to demonstrate that this simple and safe method helps decrease intraoperative bleeding and shorten hospital stay.

Published: January 2017

AbstractIntroductionAlthough endoscopic procedures for lumbar disc diseases have improved greatly, treating migrated disc herniation is still a challenging task. Because of anatomic limitations, a rigid endoscope cannot effectively reach the herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) in the hidden zone. The purpose of this study was to describe the transpedicle approach for HNP in the hidden zone using the percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy system and to demonstrate the clinical results.Materials and Surgical Technique: Under fluoroscopy, the percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy cannula is placed on the superior articular process, and a trephine with a diameter of 7.3 mm is used to make a bone hole. Through the bone hole, an HNP in the hidden zone can be detected with a rongeur for percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy, the HNP can be removed, and then the decompressed nerve root is verified. We have treated two cases of hidden‐zone HNP using the transpedicle approach. In all cases, the HNP was successfully removed, as confirmed by postoperative MRI. Clinical outcomes were acceptable.DiscussionThe percutaneous endoscopic transpedicle approach is an effective technique for managing HNP in the lumbar hidden zone.

AbstractIntroductionThe intra‐operative detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by ultrasonography is indispensable for laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. However, it is occasionally difficult to localize an HCC on an ultrasound in chronic liver disease. Two cases of partial hepatectomy using hookwire marking under CT guidance are presented.Materials and Surgical TechniqueThe location of the HCC was identified by CT scan, and the puncture site was determined. A hookwire system, made of a stainless steel hook, was used to localize the HCC. The hookwire was placed percutaneously close to the HCC, and then the patient was taken to the operating room as soon as possible. After identification of the hookwire marker, the cutting line was determined on the liver surface to ensure a sufficient surgical margin in laparoscopic partial hepatectomy.DiscussionTwo cases underwent these procedures with easy intra‐operative marking of the resection area. This technique facilitates safe laparoscopic partial hepatectomy for an HCC that is invisible on ultrasound.
Safe approach to the splenic hilum by first mobilizing the pancreatic tail in laparoscopic splenectomy

Published: January 2017

AbstractIntroductionWe employed a safe approach during laparoscopic splenectomy by first mobilizing the pancreatic tail and then dissecting the splenic vessels at the splenic hilum before mobilizing the spleen.Materials and Surgical TechniquePatients were placed in the lithotomy position, and only the upper body was twisted to the right side. Five trocars were placed. After the bursa omentalis was opened, an avascular layer was identified behind the pancreas. This avascular layer was bluntly dissected, and the pancreatic tail was isolated from the retroperitoneum. The tissue surrounding the splenic hilum was dissected by a handling tape that was placed around the pancreatic tail. Because the spleen remained connected to the retroperitoneum with the splenorenal ligament, a good operative view of the splenic hilum was obtained with proper extension. After sufficient space was secured between the pancreatic tail and the spleen, the splenic vessels were divided with a linear stapler. The spleen was detached in the final stage.DiscussionThe current standardized procedure is highly recommended for a safe laparoscopic splenectomy.

AbstractIntroductionTo minimize the resection of stomach tissue, especially for lesions close to the esophagogastric junction or pyloric ring, we developed laparoscopic wedge resection with the serosal and muscular layers incision technique (SAMIT) for gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors.Materials and Surgical TechniqueSAMIT involves resection of the mucosal and submucosal layers and then an incision in serosal and muscular layers around the tumor. SAMIT is simple and does not require special devices. The data of 13 patients who underwent laparoscopic wedge resection with SAMIT for primary gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors were reviewed. No intraoperative complications were observed, and postoperative stenosis occurred in only one case of a middle stomach lesion. Adequate oncological resection was performed in all cases.DiscussionLaparoscopic wedge resection with SAMIT is technically and oncologically safe. It is useful for treating gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors, including those close to the esophagogastric junction or pyloric ring.

Published: January 2017

AbstractLithium salts have been used to treat psychiatric disorders since the 1940s and are currently used in prophylaxis and treatment of depression and bipolar disorder. Therefore, we conducted this study to assess lithium toxicity‐related publications using bibliometric approaches from a health point of view to assess global research trends in the lithium toxicity field to offer guidance to future research in this field. The data were retrieved from the online version of Scopus database on 6 August 2016. All records with the term ‘lithium’ in the title were retrieved, and those related to lithium toxicity were evaluated. There were a total of 1241 publications related to lithium toxicity published from 1913 to 2016. Articles (971 or 78.2%) were the most common type, followed by letters (179 or 14.4%) and reviews (61 or 4.9%). The annual publication of articles increased slightly after 1950 and the total number of publications related to lithium toxicity fluctuated with three peaks occurred in 1978, 1985 and 2014. The USA was the predominant country (25.38%), followed by the UK (7.82%), France (6.85%) and Canada (3.55%). Denmark had the highest productivity of publication after standardization by gross domestic product and population size. The average number of citations per article was 9.24, and the h‐index for all publications in the field of lithium toxicity was 46. The highest h‐index value was achieved by the USA (31) followed by the UK (21) and Canada (13). The Lancet was the highest ranked journal with 27 articles, followed by American Journal of Psychiatry with 23 articles. This study provides a bibliometric analysis on the global research trends in lithium toxicity studies during 1913–2015. There has been a progressive increase in the number of publications related to lithium toxicity published in the last decade, and most of the studies related to lithium toxicity arose from the USA and the UK.

Published: January 2017

AbstractThe Centre for Human Drug Research (CHDR) is a non‐profit clinical research institute at the interface between academia and the pharmaceutical industry. CHDR hosts a research internship programme for undergraduate (bio)medical students. The aim of this study was (i) to investigate the student perceptions of the undergraduate research internship and (ii) to quantify the scientific output related to these internships. We surveyed former interns at the CHDR from the year 2007 to 2014 and quantified their scientific output with a PubMed search. There was a response rate to the survey of 61%, with a good overall rating of the internships. Many students considered their internship at CHDR to be (much) more broad (55%) and with a (much) stricter planning (48%), compared to previous internships at academic research groups. In turn, there were many aspects reported to be similar to academic research internships such as focus on research methodology and ‘outcome‐drivenness’. Twenty‐four per cent of the internships resulted in a co‐authorship on papers published in peer‐reviewed journals with an average impact factor of 3.3. In conclusion, with appropriate management and supervision, effective research electives are possible in the more commercial environment of a clinical research organization.
Tumor‐derived spheroids: Relevance to cancer stem cells and clinical applications

Published: January 2017

Recently, many types of in vitro 3‐D culture systems have been developed to recapitulate the in vivo growth conditions of cancer. The cancer 3‐D culture methods aim to preserve the biological characteristics of original tumors better than conventional 2‐D monolayer cultures, and include tumor‐derived organoids, tumor‐derived spheroids, organotypic multicellular spheroids, and multicellular tumor spheroids. The 3‐D culture methods differ in terms of cancer cell sources, protocols for cell handling, and the required time intervals. Tumor‐derived spheroids are unique because they are purposed for the enrichment of cancer stem cells (CSCs) or cells with stem cell‐related characteristics. These spheroids are grown as floating spheres and have been used as surrogate systems to evaluate the CSC‐related characteristics of solid tumors in vitro. Because eradication of CSCs is likely to be of clinical importance due to their association with the malignant nature of cancer cells, such as tumorigenicity or chemoresistance, the investigation of tumor‐derived spheroids may provide invaluable clues to fight against cancer. Spheroid cultures have been established from cancers including glioma, breast, colon, ovary, and prostate cancers, and their biological and biochemical characteristics have been investigated by many research groups. In addition to the investigation of CSCs, tumor‐derived spheroids may prove to be instrumental for a high‐throughput screening platform or for the cultivation of CSC‐related tumor cells found in the circulation or body fluids.
Trajectories of Violent Behavior Among Females and Males
Authors: Cauffman Elizabeth , Fine Adam , Thomas April G. , Monahan Kathryn C. 
Published: January 2017

Both the psychological and criminological fields have long hypothesized the mechanisms that influence desistance from violent offending, but few studies have focused on violent females. This study identifies patterns of violent behavior across 7 years among 172 females and 172 matched males ages 15–24, testing if heterogeneity in violent offending is linked to (a) developmental change in impulse control and (b) attainment of adult milestones. Fewer females persist in violence (25%) than males (46%); 19% of males increase in violent behavior. Females who develop impulse control and are employed are more likely to desist from violence. Violent offending is unrelated to other adult milestones. Developmental increases in impulse control may trigger desistance, while employment may maintain desistance from violence.
Students' Reports of Severe Violence in School as a Tool for Early Detection and Prevention
Authors: Yablon Yaacov B. 
Published: January 2017

Early detection of severe violence is a significant challenge for many schools. Three studies were conducted on samples of 6th, 8th, and 10th graders (12–16 years old). The first study, based on paired reports of teachers and students (n = 130), showed that a high percentage of both victims and perpetrators of severe violence are not identified by teachers but are known to students. The second and third studies were based on qualitative (n = 30) and quantitative methods (n = 524) and revealed the factors that explain students' willingness to report or seek help from their teachers. The findings highlight the role of victims as a source of information regarding perpetrators and suggest a new perspective for early identification of severe violence in schools.

Using a cohort of 310 low‐income male adolescents living in an urban community and followed prospectively from 18 months through adolescence (ages 15–18 years), the current study examined whether individual, family, and community risk factors from ages 18 to 42 months were associated with adolescents' violent behavior, as indexed by juvenile petitions. Results of multivariate analyses indicated that although family income was the only factor to discriminate those with no arrest record from those with nonviolent arrests, rejecting parenting, child oppositional behavior, emotion regulation, and minority status during the toddler period contributed unique variance in distinguishing male adolescents arrested for violent behavior compared to those never arrested and those arrested for nonviolent behavior. Implications for prevention efforts are discussed.
Severe Violence During Adolescence and Early Adulthood and Its Relation to Anticipated Rewards and Costs
Authors: Shulman Elizabeth P. , Monahan Kathryn C. , Steinberg Laurence 
Published: January 2017

This report compares the effects (concurrent and lagged) of the anticipated rewards and costs of violent crime on engagement in severe violence in a sample of male juvenile offenders (N = 1,170; 42.1% black, 34.0% Hispanic, 19.2% white, and 4.6% other; ages 14–18 at baseline). Anticipated rewards (social approval, thrill) are more predictive of concurrent severe violence than are anticipated costs (social disapproval, risk of punishment). The analysis finds no evidence that perceptions of the rewards and costs of violent crime influence engagement in severe violence 6 months later. The results support the view that adolescence is a time of heightened reward salience but raise doubt about the longitudinal predictive validity of perceptions about crime during this time of life.

Published: January 2017

The standardized, indicated school‐based prevention program “Networks Against School Shootings” combines a threat assessment approach with a general model of prevention of emergency situations in schools through early intervention in student psychosocial crises and training teachers to recognize warning signs of targeted school violence. An evaluation study in 98 German schools with 3,473 school staff participants (Mage = 46.2 years) used a quasi‐experimental comparison group design with three measurement points (pre, post, and 7 months followup) with schools randomly allocated to implementation conditions. The study found increases in teachers' expertise and evaluation skills, enhanced abilities to identify students experiencing a psychosocial crisis, and positive secondary effects (e.g., teacher–student interaction, feelings of safety).
