We used peribulbar anesthesia with sub-Tenon's irrigation to perform encircling scleral buckling for retinal detachment, as it could reduce the complications caused by retrobulbar anesthesia. We also recorded the course of pain for 72 hours after surgery.Methods: Thirty patients who were diagnosed with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment were treated with an encircling scleral buckle. The surgery was performed with peribulbar anesthesia with occasional sub-Tenon's irrigation. We evaluated the patient's pain with a visual analogue scale after surgery at 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours, and 72 hours.Results: In 24 cases (80%), the anesthesia was complete with the peribulbar block. Only 6 patients (20%) needed sub-Tenon's irrigation and four of them felt no pain after augmentation. Although all the surgical procedures proceeded without problem, two of the patients felt pain and were uncomfortable during the surgery. No serious complications occurred. The course of pain peaked 6 hours after surgery when 26 patients (86.7%) felt pain and 12 patients (40%) were uncomfortable (pain score > or = 5). Forty-eight hours after surgery, 9 patients (30%) still felt pain but no one felt uncomfortable.Conclusion: Peribulbar anesthesia can be used safely in encircling scleral buckling for retinal detachment. The postoperative pain is maximal 6 hours after surgery and becomes mild (pain score < or = 4) after 48 hours.","PeriodicalId":77066,"journal":{"name":"Changgeng yi xue za zhi","volume":"22 4","pages":"609-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21548446","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 effect of PCES consultation on physicians' staging for prostate cancer with pelvic lymph node involvement was evaluated.Results: In the diagnosis of prostate cancer with pelvic lymph node metastasis, PCES was significantly more accurate than the two attending physicians alone (p = 0.042; p = 0.008). All the urological residents' diagnoses were significantly less accurate than those of the PCES. After PCES consultation, all the urological residents increased diagnostic specificity significantly.

Multiple factors may influence this troublesome complication.Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of the medical records of 200 patients who were treated with intramedullary nailing after tibial shaft fractures. Sixty-four patients complained of knee pain after surgery. We evaluated the knee pain in relation to the surgical approach, radiographic readings, and the type of nail used.Results: Among the 64 patients, 45 (70%) received central approaches and 19 (30%) received paramedial approaches (p = 0.0002); 46 patients (72%) showed nail protrusions on radiographs and only 18 patients (28%) were without nail impingement (p = 0.0001). Forty-three patients (67%) received Kuntscher nail fixation and just 21 patients (33%) had interlocking nail fixation (p = 0.0015).Conclusion: The use of the central patellar tendon splitted approach, nail protrusion observed on radiographs, and the insertion of a non-locking intramedullary nail were all significant risk factors for anterior knee pain after surgery. All these risk factors should be avoided in tibial nailing to decrease the problem of postoperative knee pain.","PeriodicalId":77066,"journal":{"name":"Changgeng yi xue za zhi","volume":"22 4","pages":"604-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21548445","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}

They are often presented with a prolonged cough and shortness of breath. Most tracheal tumors in adults are cancerous (80% to 90%). Benign tracheal tumors are rare in adult patients. A case history is presented of a 19-year-old patient with a rare tracheal neurilemmoma. He was treated as having bronchial asthma initially, but his signs and symptoms did not improve with traditional therapy. The possibility of the presence of an upper airway obstruction was not raised until the typical \"inspiratory tubular sound\" was heard. Flow-volume loop testing, bronchoscopy, and three-dimensional computed tomography (3-D CT) confirmed the diagnosis of upper airway obstruction caused by a tracheal tumor. Therefore, surgical intervention rather than bronchoscopic removal was performed without difficulty. The patient was leading a stable life 8 months after a surgical resection. The presence of an upper airway obstruction can be proven by flow-volume loop testing and 3-D CT. Further pathologic confirmation can be accomplished by bronchoscopy. High suspicion of an upper airway obstruction such as a tracheal lesion should be raised when bronchial asthma patients fail to respond to conventional treatment.","PeriodicalId":77066,"journal":{"name":"Changgeng yi xue za zhi","volume":"22 3","pages":"525-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21442512","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 patients with idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome were followed for at least 3 months.Results: Of the endoscopic release patients, 80.9% recovered grip strength equal to or greater than preoperative levels within 4 weeks, whereas in the open procedure group, the rate was only 59.3%. The difference was statistically significant (p = 0.00011). An immediate complication was one median motor nerve severance. There were 24 conversions to a conventional open procedure during endoscopic release. In the endoscopic group, 81% developed scar tenderness over the thenar crease, 31% developed new sensory disturbance, and 4% developed pillar pain.Conclusion: Endoscopic release facilitated the recovery of grip strength and diminished the frequency of scar tenderness.

The aim of this study is to reexamine our experience to improve our methods in the future.Methods: We treated 34 patients with verified Hürthle cell carcinoma and adenoma at Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou from 1990 through 1996. Clinical characteristics, thyroid ultrasonogram, 131I, 201Tl, 99mTc-methoxy-isobutyl-isonitrile (MIBI) and 99mTc-thyroid scan, fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) and histology results were analyzed.Results: Female predominance (82.4%) was noticed among our Hürthle cell tumors. Nine (26.5%) patients had carcinoma. The median size of carcinoma was 4.0 cm, which was significantly larger than the median 3.0 cm for adenoma. No significant differences were found between gender, age, multiplicity or echogenicity between two groups. All 12 adenoma and 3 carcinoma patients who received pre-operative 99mTc and/or 131I thyroid scan showed cold nodules. The sensitivity and specificity of detection Hürthle cell carcinoma as indeterminate and malignant using FNAC was 78% and 18% respectively. These improved to 100% and 86% using frozen sections. One carcinoma patient developed neck lymph node metastasis, with normal serum thyroglobulin, negative 131I but positive 201Tl and 99mTc-MIBI whole body scans. Another one showed mediastinum metastasis with elevated serum thyroglobulin, detected using 131I scan, revealed successful regression after 131I therapeutic scan.Conclusion: Tumor size of carcinoma is significantly larger than adenoma. All patients with FNAC suggestive of Hürthle cell tumors should receive surgery for histological diagnosis to differentiate carcinoma from adenoma. Therapeutic radioiodine ablation is indicated whenever there is 131I uptake by tumor cells.","PeriodicalId":77066,"journal":{"name":"Changgeng yi xue za zhi","volume":"22 3","pages":"445-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21442684","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}

{"title":"Acute fish liver intoxication: report of three cases.","authors":"Y K Chiu, M S Lai, J C Ho, J B Chen","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"The livers of some larger fish such as shark, tuna and seabass have been reported to be responsible for a peculiar poisoning causing headaches and desquamation. This type of poisoning can also be induced by ingestion of the livers of the sea whale, the polar bear and the seal. Since these animals contain an extremely large quantity of vitamin A in their livers and the symptoms of poisoning in the patients resembled those of patients with acute hypervitaminosis A, the poisoning was believed to have been caused by excessive vitamin A intake. We observed an episode of acute fish liver intoxication in which 3 man experienced dizziness, headache, blurred vision, nausea, vomiting, fever, and desquamation after ingesting the liver of the grouper fish Cephalopholis boenak (C. boenak). One of the patients had full-blown symptoms and presented with a high fever, headache, dizziness, generalized aching pain, and superficial vesicles and bullae of the skin. The treatment was mainly supportive. In the follow-up period, he subsequently developed hair loss and diffuse peeling of the skin on his palms and soles. Acute fish liver intoxication is rare, especially in subtropical regions. Symptomatologically, the clinical pictures of these patients were comparable to acute hypervitaminosis A or retinoid intoxication. The average vitamin A content in the grouper (C. boenak) is high enough to cause acute vitamin A intoxication. Moreover, ethanol may play a potentiating role in this type of event.","PeriodicalId":77066,"journal":{"name":"Changgeng yi xue za zhi","volume":"22 3","pages":"468-73"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"21442686","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}
