The management of incidental arterial injury during central venous catheterization is discussed, and a review of the literature is provided. To prevent injury to the right subclavian artery during right IJV catheterization, the location of adjacent blood vessels should be ascertained and not damaged. It is important to note that the damage can also occur due to ultrasonography. When right subclavian artery injury is suspected, the catheter should not be removed.

This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a restrictive transfusion strategy (transfusion threshold of hemoglobin 8 g/dL) compared to a conventional transfusion strategy (transfusion threshold of hemoglobin 10 g/dL) on postoperative AKI among patients undergoing total hip replacement arthroplasty (THRA). Patients undergoing THRA were divided into two groups: restrictive transfusion strategy (n=72) and conventional transfusion strategy (n=72). Stroke volume variation was performed to maintain methods, complications, and preoperative and postoperative laboratory tests. They were categorized according to changes in plasma creatinine (Cr) concentration within 48 hours after THRA using Acute Kidney Injury Network criteria. Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurred in three patients (4.2%) in the restrictive transfusion strategy group and two patients (2.8%) in the conventional transfusion strategy group (p=0.99). The mean serum Cr levels 48 hours after surgery were 0.76±0.36 and 0.66±0.20 mg/dL in the restrictive transfusion strategy group and the conventional transfusion strategy group, respectively (p=0.30). Perioperative restrictive transfusion or conventional transfusion in patients undergoing elective THRA is not related to AKI when maintaining proper volume status during surgery.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"497 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123414360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The endotracheal tube used for nasotracheal intubation is either a conventional tube or a preformed nasotracheal tube considering nasal passage. Conventional nasotracheal intubation starts with blind passage of an endotracheal tube via the nostril followed by laryngoscopy-assisted intubation through the vocal cord with or without the aid of Magill forceps. During intubation, anesthesiologists may experience interruption of endotracheal tube passage because of resistance in nasal cavity. It is known that any excessive force may significantly increase the risk of damage to nasal structures. One way to prevent this damage is Guided-technique. Guided technique is easier, cheaper and safer than conventional technique. Here we report a case of successful endotracheal intubation with preformed nasotracheal tube following endobronchial suction catheter guidance. Guided technique with endobronchial suction catheter is useful for nasotracheal intubation with preformed nasotracheal intubation tube.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131529724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most of them show characteristic histological feature, occasionally we meet the diagnostic difficulty by overlapping or mixed histologic features. The aim of this study was to evaluate the immunostaining pattern of p16 (INK4a) in SK, AK, BD and SqCC, and identify the utility of p16 immunohistochemical staining in differential diagnosis of above cutaneous keratinocytic lesions. We studied 50 cases of keratinocytic lesions (20 examples of SK and 10 cases of each of AK, BD and SqCC). The cases were stained for p16. Ninety percent of BD cases showed strong block-positivity and typical SK not show reactivity with p16, just only one case showed patch staining pattern. In AK, only one case showed block-positivity and another cases showed patchy staining pattern. In SqCC, only 3 out of 10 cases showed strong staining pattern. This study demonstrated that the expression of p16 is strongly associated with the progression of BD (p < 0.001). This staining pattern was not seen in AK and SK. Accordingly, immunohistochemistry for p16 is a useful test in the differential diagnosis of intra-epidermal atypical keratinocytic lesion. However, despite the statistical significance (p < 0.001), our small series suggests that as not all typical cases of BD are positive with p16, negative p16 staining alone cannot be used to classify atypical keratinocytic lesions, and the finding of hematoxylin and eosin staining remains paramount.","PeriodicalId":259565,"journal":{"name":"Medical Biological Science and Engineering","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125266653","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
