Published: October 2011

Background:

End‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is known to correlate with poor outcome in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This study examines the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the long‐term outcome of patients with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis.
Methods:

A cohort of patients with ESRD on chronic hemodialysis, who underwent PCI with drug‐eluting stents, was followed for 1 year. The clinical outcome in this population was compared retrospectively based on the presence of DM. Major adverse cardiac events (MACE) as the composite of all‐cause death, Q‐wave myocardial infraction and target lesion revascularization (TLR), as well as TLR as an individual outcome, were the main end points of the study.
Results:

In the study cohort (n = 198), 48.5% had DM. Diabetic patients were more commonly female. The lesion characteristics were similar between groups except for more frequent saphenous vein graft intervention in nondiabetics. At 1‐year follow‐up there was no difference in the rate of MACE between diabetic and nondiabetic patients (40.4% vs. 39.3%, respectively, p = 0.89), driven primarily by a very high mortality rate (1‐year overall mortality of 33.5%). After adjustment for the relevant clinical co‐variables, DM was not associated with the composite end point. However, diabetic patients had a significantly higher incidence of 1‐year TLR compared to nondiabetics (13.8% vs. 3.6%, respectively, p = 0.04).
Conclusion:

The prognosis of patients with ESRD after PCI is dismal with a very high overall mortality rate regardless of the presence of DM. Patients with ESRD appear to be at higher risk for the need of revascularization. (J Interven Cardiol 2012;25:147–155)
Sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death on dialysis: Epidemiology, evaluation, treatment, and prevention
Authors: Alpert Martin A. 
Published: October 2011

AbstractSudden cardiac death is the most common cause of death in dialysis patients and is usually preceded by sudden cardiac arrest due to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. A variety of risk factors have been identified that predispose the sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death in dialysis patients. Primary prevention of sudden cardiac arrest in dialysis patients may be accomplished by avoiding the use of low potassium dialysate. Pharmacotherapy with beta‐blockers angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers and use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) may also prevent sudden cardiac arrest and sudden cardiac death in high‐risk dialysis patients. Secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death may be accomplished by similar pharmacotherapy and by the use of ICDs. Indications for ICD use in dialysis patients are similar to those for nondialysis patients; however, survival rates following ICD implantation in dialysis patients are substantially lower than in non‐dialysis patients.
Percutaneous coronary intervention versus coronary artery bypass graft in chronic kidney disease: Optimal treatment options
Authors: Kar Subrata , Coats Walter , Aggarwal Kul 
Published: October 2011

AbstractChronic kidney disease (CKD) is ubiquitous in the world and may eventually progress to end‐stage renal disease. CKD is associated with a greater risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) which is the leading cause of mortality in this population. Current invasive treatment options include percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass graft. We performed a PubMed search to ascertain the optimal treatment for coronary artery disease in CKD. Our review of the current literature supports the superiority of coronary artery bypass grafting which reduces repeat revascularizations, improves angina symptoms, and increases long‐term survival.
Optimization of heparin anticoagulation for hemodialysis
Authors: Davenport Andrew 
Published: October 2011

AbstractUnfractionated heparin remains the most commonly used anticoagulant for extracorporeal therapies worldwide due to cost, years of clinical experience showing effectiveness and safety for outpatient hemodialysis. Most centers administer unfractionated heparin as an initial bolus followed by a constant infusion, which is then stopped prior to the end of the dialysis session. Although the anticoagulant effect of heparin can be monitored at the bedside, most centers take a pragmatic stance for routine outpatient hemodialysis, and adjust bolus doses and infusion rates based on visual inspection of the dialyzer header and venous air detector chamber for clots, and stop the heparin infusion based on the time taken for needle puncture sites to stop bleeding at the end of the hemodialysis session.Heparin is negatively charged and can bind to plasma proteins, leukocytes, and plastic. As such, it is important to achieve adequate mixing of heparin with blood to optimize anticoagulation within the extracorporeal circuit, by administering an intravenous bolus a few minutes prior to connecting the patient to the circuit and ensuring thorough mixing of the heparin infusion.

Published: October 2011

AbstractAim:To evaluate the influence of the presence of both adjacent teeth on the level of alveolar bony crest at sites where implants were installed into the socket immediately after tooth extraction.Material and methods:Six Labrador dogs were used. Extractions of all teeth from the second premolar to the first molar were performed in the right side of the mandible, after full‐thickness flap elevation. In the left side of the mandible, an endodontic treatment of the mesial root of the third and fourth premolars was performed. Full‐thickness flaps were elevated, the teeth hemi‐sected, and the distal roots removed. Immediately after, implants were bilaterally installed with the margin flush to the buccal bony crest. The implants were placed in the center of the alveolus at the third premolars and toward the lingual bony plate of the alveolus at the fourth premolars. After 3 months of healing, the animals were euthanized.Results:All implants were integrated in mature bone. More bone resorption was observed at the test compared to the control sites. At the buccal aspect, a resorption of 2.8 ± 0.5 and 1.6 ± 0.4 mm at the third premolars and of 2.4 ± 0.6 and 0.8 ± 0.7 mm at the fourth premolars were found, at the test and control sites, respectively. At the lingual aspect, the bony crest was apically located in relation to the implant shoulder 1.5 ± 0.3 and 0.5 ± 0.5 mm at the third premolars and 1.6 ± 0.6 and 0.3 ± 1.1 mm at the fourth premolars, at the test and control sites, respectively. A lower buccal bone resorption was found at the control implants placed lingually.Conclusion:Multiple extractions of teeth adjacent to a socket into which implants were installed immediately after, tooth extraction induced more alveolar bone recession compared to sites where the adjacent teeth were preserved. Moreover, an implant placed more lingually yielded less recession of the buccal aspect of the implant.
Are Stroke Units Cost Effective? Evidence from a New Zealand Stroke Incidence and Population-Based Study

Published: October 2011

Background and aim Acute stroke units in hospitals are known to be more costly than standard care, but proponents claim that the health gains will justify the expense. Yet, despite widespread adoption of stroke units, the evidence on the cost effectiveness of stroke units has been mixed, due in part to differences in the pathway of care across hospitals. The purpose of this study is to compare costs and outcomes for patients admitted to a stroke unit with those admitted to a general ward. Methods Data on 530 stroke sufferers from a large incidence study of stroke (the Auckland Regional Community Stroke Outcome Study) were used. Cost of health services, places of discharge were identified at one-, six- and 12 months post-stroke and were linked with long-term cost and survival five-years poststroke. A decision analytical model was developed, including the relationship between waiting time for discharge and probability of admission to stroke unit. Cost effectiveness was determined using a willingness to pay threshold of NZ$20000 (US$15 234). Results Regression analysis suggested that there were no significant differences between patients admitted to a stroke unit and a general ward. The incremental cost-utility ratio for the first-year was NZ$42 813/quality-adjusted life year (US$32 610/quality-adjusted life year), but fell substantially to NZ$6747/quality-adjusted life year (US$5139/quality-adjusted life year) when lifetime costs and outcomes were considered. Probabilistic and one-way sensitivity analysis suggests that the results are robust to areas of uncertainty or delays in the pathway of care. Conclusion Stroke unit care was cost effective in Auckland, New Zealand.
Using Antibrowning Agents to Enhance Quality and Safety of Fresh‐Cut Avocado Treated with Intense Light Pulses

Published: October 2011

Abstract:  The effect of antibrowning compounds on the color and firmness of fresh‐cut avocado treated with intense light pulses (ILP), as well as their impact on the survival of Listeria innocua, was investigated in this study. Dipping solutions containing 2% (w/v) L‐cysteine without ascorbic acid and combined with 1% (w/v) citric acid and 1% w/v calcium lactate most effectively preserved the initial color and texture of ILP‐treated fresh‐cut avocado. On the other hand, ILP treatments caused a reduction of more than 3 log cycles in the populations of L. innocua inoculated on fresh‐cut avocado. Log reduction levels increased when antibrowning agents were combined with ILP treatments. In conclusion, the use of quality‐stabilizing agents is a good option to guarantee both the microbiological safety of fresh‐cut avocado treated with ILP as well as to improve its physical and chemical quality.Practical Application:  Intense light pulses (ILP) have received considerable attention during the last years after its approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1996 as a decontamination method for food or food surfaces. This article presents relevant information regarding the effect of ILP treatments combined with quality‐stabilizing compounds as a feasible alternative to improve the physical and chemical quality of fresh‐cut avocado as well as to guarantee its microbiological safety.
Application of quality principles to managing donor services
Authors: Ayob Y. 
Published: October 2011

Introduction  Blood donor services (BDS) consist of a variety of activities, processes and procedures that blood establishments (BE) carry out in order to provide adequate supply and the appropriate type of blood and components required for transfusion. Quality principles (QP) on the other hand is a comprehensive and fundamental rule for leading and operating an organization aimed at continually improving performance over the long term by focusing on customers while addressing the needs of the customers. The application of QP would increase the efficacy and effectives of the BDS.Application of Quality Principles  BE as an organization needs to continually improve its performance by focusing on the needs and expectation of blood donors, the relevant authorities as the stakeholder, as well as the community in which it serves. Through appropriate awareness programmes for donor recruitment and providing a donor care service that meets their expectation will improve the supply and quality of blood to patients. Communicating these needs and expectations is crucial in order to establish good customer relation. Leadership in the BDS is necessary to provide direction, inspire and encourage all personnel to be involved in providing quality service. Full involvement of every individual would benefit the organization. In designing the processes in BDS due consideration must be given to the various steps, activities, workflow, critical control points, training requirement, equipment, methods and other resources to achieve its objectives and target. All the interrelated activities need to be managed as a system to improve efficiency. In order to continually improve its performance, BDS needs to monitor and evaluate its activities. Collection of information and good data allows objective evaluation and decision making. Clear understanding of the relationship between BDS and its suppliers would be beneficial.Conclusion  QP can be adopted by BE to guide the organization towards better and improved performance. The principles of QP would certainly benefit the BDS to function as an efficient service provider in meeting the demand of the healthcare services that depend on a sustainable blood supply.
Blood group molecular genotyping
Authors: Jungbauer C. 
Published: October 2011

DNA‐based typing methods of red cell antigens are applied in several fields. Genotyping is used to clarify problems in patient serology. It is also increasingly applied for routine mass‐scale typing of blood donors for minor red cell antigens and screening for donors with rare blood types. An advance in this field is the non‐invasive fetal RHD diagnostics in pregnancies of D‐negative women to determine the fetal RHD.Reference centres for immunohaematology commonly use molecular methods to clarify problems, discrepancies or unusual results in patient serology. It is often applied in individuals with variant RhD expression to detect the contributing weak D or partial D types. Genotyping is also used to identify the individual ABO and RhD blood group in patients after mismatched transfusion. In some patients with positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) it is necessary to type for antigens by DNA techniques. Genotyping is also helpful when reagents are not available or only weakly reactive, or to confirm weakly expressed antigens.Blood establishments are constantly challenged with the blood supply for patients carrying irregular red cell antibodies. A high number of donors have to be typed to find compatible blood units. Increasingly, DNA‐based methods are used alongside standard serological typing. The advantages of molecular methods are the wider range of different antigens available for typing and that some DNA methods are less expensive than phenotyping. Extensive donor antigen typing leads to short response times, from request to issuing blood units. Genotyping is also used for identifying donors with extremely weak RhD expression (DEL) to prevent mistyping as RhD‐negative.Non‐invasive fetal typing of RHD from maternal blood in pregnancies of D‐negative women is implemented in many Caucasian blood establishments. It allows that D‐negative fetuses can be identified at early stage. In these cases, no anti‐D immunoglobulin is required, which provides a more efficient use of this human blood derivate. Furthermore, in anti‐D alloimmunized women, the assay allows to accurately identify fetuses at risk for haemolytic disease.
Changing knowledge and beliefs through an oral health pregnancy message
Authors: Bates S. Brady , Riedy Christine A. 
Published: October 2011

AbstractObjectives: Pregnancy can be a critical and important period in which to intervene to improve oral health in both the mother and her child. This study examined an online approach for promoting awareness of oral health messages targeted at pregnant women, and whether this type of health messaging impacts oral health knowledge and beliefs.Methods: The study was conducted in three parts: production and pilot testing of a brief commercial, Web site/commercial launch and testing, and dissemination and monitoring of the commercial on a video‐sharing site. The brief commercial and pre‐ and postsurveys were produced and pilot tested among a convenience sample of pregnant women (n = 13). The revised commercial and surveys were launched on a newly created Web site and monitored for activity. After 2 months, the commercial was uploaded to a popular video‐sharing Web site.Results: Fifty‐five individuals completed both the pre‐ and postsurveys after the Web site was launched. No one responded 100 percent correctly on the presurvey; 77.4 percent responded correctly about dental visits during pregnancy, 66.0 percent about cavity prevention, and 50.9 percent about transmission of bacteria by saliva. Most respondents recalled the correct information on the posttest; 100 percent or close to 100 percent accurately responded about visiting the dentist during pregnancy and preventing cavities, while 79.2 percent responded correctly to the transmission question.Conclusion: Social media can effectively provide dental health messages during pregnancy. This approach can play an important role in increasing awareness and improving oral health of both mother and child.

ABSTRACT

Short-term deferral of the
Haemophilus influenzae
type b (Hib) vaccine booster dose during a recent U.S. Hib vaccine shortage did not result in widespread Hib carriage in Atlanta, as the Hib carriage rate was found to be 0.3% (1/342). Hib colonization was significantly more common among males and day care attendees.
