We report a case of acute mitral regurgitation (MR) due to isolated valve injury after BCT. A 60-year-old man received an impact on his left chest by a car wheel three weeks prior to visiting our hospital. At the time a diagnosis of contusion of the chest wall without rib and sternal fractures was made. Thereafter, the patient had progressive worsening of heart failure symptoms. Eventually he developed dyspnea on slight exertion but echocardiographic evaluation was not performed at the time of diagnosis or during the three weeks prior to admission. At admission a holosystolic murmur was heard. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed prolapse of the posterior mitral leaflet due to torn chordae tendineae with severe MR and normal left ventricular wall motion. At surgery, torn chordae tendineae and a leaflet tear of the posterior leaflet were detected, and mitral valve repair was achieved without residual MR. Pathological examination of the torn chordae showed no findings of endocarditis or myxomatous degeneration. Echocardiography may play an important role for accurate and prompt diagnosis of cardiac lesions in patients with recent or a history of high-energy BCT.","PeriodicalId":39559,"journal":{"name":"Kurume Medical Journal","volume":"68 1","pages":"39-42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9255627","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 GerdQ questionnaire was developed for diagnosing GERD in primary care patients. Its effectiveness in patients after esophagectomy remains unknown. In this study, we evaluated the usefulness of the GerdQ questionnaire for diagnosing GERD after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.Materials and methods: A total of 124 patients with esophageal cancer underwent right transthoracic esophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction between January 2010 and December 2016. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy and 24-hour esophageal pH-metry were performed at 1 month, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. The GerdQ questionnaire was administered at the same postoperative time points. We assessed any correlation between the GerdQ scores and the endoscopy and pH-metry findings.Results: The incidence rates of GERD at 1 month, 1 year and 2 years post-surgery were 31.6%, 46.9%, and 49.2%, respectively. The GerdQ questionnaire showed 77% sensitivity and 56% specificity for diagnosing GERD at 2 years after esophagectomy when the cutoff point was 7. However, the optimal cutoff points were different at each postoperative time, and the scores showed some imbalance between sensitivity and specificity. Regurgitation may be a useful indicator, as the frequency of regurgitation was significantly higher in patients with GERD than in patients without GERD at 1 year (P = 0.046) and 2 years postoperatively (P = 0.048).Conclusion: The GerdQ questionnaire is not a useful diagnostic tool for GERD in patients who have undergone esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.","PeriodicalId":39559,"journal":{"name":"Kurume Medical Journal","volume":"68 1","pages":"25-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9255625","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}

However, they are expensive, cumbersome, and subject to additional invasiveness, so there is a need for a simpler and less expensive 3D surgical support system. In this study, THA was performed using the anterolateral approach (Watson-Jones) in the supine position in 23 subjects to examine the efficacy and safety of a patient-specific femoral guide linked to 3D surgery support software. In 48% of the subjects, the difference in anterior torsion angle from the preoperative plan was within ±5 degrees, while in 83% of the subjects, the difference was within ±10 degrees. The 95% confidence interval (4.61-8.70) of the absolute difference did not fall below the pre-defined threshold of 7.2 degrees (p = 0.293).
