question:
For patients receiving endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD), there is urgent need pertaining to the prevention of postoperative bleeding. We conducted a retrospective propensity score-matched study that evaluated whether pre-ESD gastric lavage prevents postoperative bleeding after ESD for gastric neoplasms.', 'From September 2002 to October 2015, the 760 consecutive patients receiving ESD for gastric neoplasm were enrolled and data regarding them were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received conventional preventive treatment against delayed bleeding after ESD, including the administration of proton pump inhibitor and preventive coagulation of visible vessels, at the end of the ESD procedure.', 'Pre-ESD risk factors for postoperative bleeding included tumor size and no gastric lavage. Using multivariate analysis tumor size >2.0 cm (HR 2.90, 95% CI 1.65-5.10, p = 0.0002) and no gastric lavage (HR 3.20, 95% CI 1.13-9.11, p = 0.029) were found to be independent risk factors. Next, we evaluated the effect of gastric lavage on the prevention of post-ESD bleeding using a propensity score-matching method. A total of 284 subjects (142 per group) were selected. Adjusted odds ratio of gastric lavage for post-ESD bleeding was 0.25 (95% CI 0.071-0.886, p = 0.032).
answer:
Does pretreatment Gastric Lavage reduce Postoperative Bleeding after Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection for Gastric Neoplasms?


question:
Multiple rib fractures cause significant pain and potential for chest wall instability. Despite an emerging trend of surgical management of flail chest injuries, there are no studies examining the effect of rib fracture fixation on respiratory function.', 'Using a novel full thorax human cadaveric breathing model, we sought to explore the effect of flail chest injury and subsequent rib fracture fixation on respiratory outcomes.', 'We used five fresh human cadavers to generate negative breathing models in the left thorax to mimic physiologic respiration. Inspiratory volumes and peak flows were measured using a flow meter for all three chest wall states: intact chest, left-sided flail chest (segmental fractures of ribs 3 - 7), and post-fracture open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of the chest wall with a pre-contoured rib specific plate fixation system.', 'A wide variation in the mean inspiratory volumes and peak flows were measured between specimens; however, the effect of a flail chest wall and the subsequent internal fixation of the unstable rib fractures was consistent across all samples. Compared to the intact chest wall, the inspiratory volume decreased by 40 ± 19% in the flail chest model (P = 0.04). Open reduction and internal fixation of the flail chest returned the inspiratory volume to 130 ± 71% of the intact chest volumes (P = 0.68). A similar 35 ± 19% decrease in peak flows was seen in the flail chest (P = 0.007) and this returned to 125 ± 71% of the intact chest following ORIF (P = 0.62).
answer:
Does rib Fracture Fixation restore Inspiratory Volume and Peak Flow in a Full Thorax Human Cadaveric Breathing Model?


question:
A retrospective study on patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain (NSLBP).', 'To describe the gait stride characteristics of patients with chronic NSLBP, and to examine the effect of a novel biomechanical device on the gait stride characteristics of these patients.', 'Patient with NSLBP alters their gait patterns. This is considered a protective mechanism as patients try to avoid extensive hip and spine ranges of motion and minimize forces and moments acting on the body. In addition, there are changes in the neuromuscular control system in patients with LBP that could possibly be attributed to the effects of pain on motor control.', 'Nineteen patients underwent a gait test, using an electronic walkway, at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment. Spatiotemporal parameters were used to identify changes in gait pattern. A novel biomechanical device comprised of 4 modular elements attached to foot-worn platforms was used in the study. The modules are 2 convex shaped biomechanical elements attached to each foot, one is located under the hindfoot region and the other is located under the forefoot region. The device was individually calibrated to each patient. The patients were instructed to walk with the calibrated biomechanical device on a daily basis for a period of 12 weeks.', 'Significant differences were found at baseline and after 12 weeks in normalized velocity (P = 0.03), cadence (P < 0.01), left normalized step length (P = 0.02), right normalized step length (P = 0.02), right swing (P < 0.01), right stance (P < 0.01), left single limb support (P = 0.01), left double limb support (P = 0.02), and right double limb support (P = 0.02).
answer:

Does a novel biomechanical device improve gait pattern in patient with chronic nonspecific low back pain?
