Introduction Vaginal packing is a standard procedure to control prevent bleeding after vaginal surgery. Objective We designed a simple vaginal balloon pack V-stat ; with the objective of providing an easy-to-insert remove variable volume tamponade device. This was a pilot study to assess the benefits of V-Stat over the traditional gauze roll. Methodology 43 women were recruited in a randomised controlled trial as follows: A: 22 patients gauze roll group B: 21 patients V-stat group The groups were well matched for age and procedure. Time of removal was similar in both groups. All patients and nurses were asked to complete a visual analogue score concerning the ease of removal and the discomfort caused. We also recorded the length of time it took to remove the devices and the number of nurses required. Results 38 completed the study, 22 in group A and 13 in group B. The v-stat was extruded in 3 cases. The VAS scores were measured in both groups and the results compared using anova See Table 1 ; . The results found that the gynae gauze roll caused significantly more discomfort. In 5 patients the V-stat was also used successfully for intra-operative tamponade of heavy bleeding.

TRAUMATIC RUPTURE OF A DURAL ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATION CAUSING FATAL EXTRADURAL HEMATOMA A.SM Ridzuan1 , D. Tang1 , J. Abdullah1 , N.Omar 2 , A.R Ariff3 . Neurosurgical Division1 and Departments of Pathology2 and Radiology3 , School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kelantan, Malaysia An eleven year old Malay male when allegedly being trivially slapped on the face developed gradual loss of unconsciousness. On arrival at the accident and emergency department, patient had a Glasgow coma scale of 6 15 and both pupils were dilated and sluggishly reacting to light. There was no evidence of soft tissue injury to the face, cranium and neck. An emergency craniectomy revealed an extradural hematoma with profused bleeding from the left middle cranial fossa. The bleeding was secured and seen to arise from the dura around the foramen spinosum. Due to severe cerebral swelling the patient was further managed with barbiturate coma and intracranial monitoring. The patient succumbed 5 days later due to severe intracranial hypertension. An autopsy and histopathological examination revealed a dura arteriovenous malformation. Dural AVM's causing extradural hematomas are rare. This unfortunate patient developed one after a trivial trauma. 1.

WARNING Suicidality and Antidepressant Drugs -- Antidepressants increased the risk compared to placebo of suicidal thinking and behavior suicidality ; in children, adolescents, and young adults in short-term studies of major depressive disorder MDD ; and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of Cymbalta or any other antidepressant in a child, adolescent, or young adult must balance this risk with the clinical need. Short-term studies did not show an increase in the risk of suicidality with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults beyond age 24; there was a reduction in risk with antidepressants compared to placebo in adults aged 65 and older. Depression and certain other psychiatric disorders are themselves associated with increases in the risk of suicide. Patients of all ages who are started on antidepressant therapy should be monitored appropriately and observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Cymbalta is not approved for use in pediatric patients.

Often times, blocked arteries can be surgically repaired with a bypass procedure similar to heart bypass surgeries whereby the diseased vessel is bypassed with a healthy one. Another option is angioplasty: a balloon device is inserted into the blocked area via catheter and then expanded, compressing the plaque against the walls of the artery, allowing blood to flow through. The compressed plaque is reinforced with a stent, a small metal tube inserted to try to keep the opening open. Because Ozbun smokes, she is not a good candidate for the surgical option. And with stenting, the chance for recurring plaque buildup is high for a nonsmoker and even higher for a smoker. Fortunately for Ozbun, her referral to Dr. Russell coincided with Medcenter One's introduction of a new, noninvasive procedure to treat PAD. The innovative technology called the.

As previously noted, there are currently no medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration FDA ; for the treatment of FM.Among the suggestions raised by a review of pathophysiological models is that increasing synaptic levels of antinociceptive bioamines may represent a viable therapeutic strategy in the management of FM.The question then becomes which one might be most appropriate for this purpose: serotonin, norepinephrine, or dopamine? A number of trials have evaluated the efficacy of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors SSRIs ; for the treatment of FM symptoms with limited results. In general, agents with higher specificity for serotonin are less successful than those with mixed serotonin norepinephrine activity. If dopaminergic dysfunction plays a role in FM, then the propensity of serotonergic agents to disrupt dopaminergic activity might explain the failure of these agents to treat the core features of FM and, indeed, may represent a therapeutic liability. A number of mixed serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors SNRIs ; are currently under evaluation for the treatment of the disorder, including milnacipran Ixtel ; , duloxetine Cymbalta ; , and desvenlafaxine DVS-233 ; . Of these, only duloxetine is currently available for use in the US. Other reuptake inhibitors with no serotonergic activity appear to warrant consideration for formal therapeutic trials, including reboxetine Edronax ; , a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor approved of in Europe for the treatment of depression, and radafaxine GW-353162 ; , a stereoisomer of a bupropion metabolite that acts as a mixed norepinephrine dopamine reuptake inhibitor. While serotonin is better known for its role in descending inhibition, it also plays a role in descending facilitation via a tract that originates within the rostral ventromedial medulla. Studies in Europe have demonstrated benefits in FM from treatment with tropisetron Navoban ; , a 5-HT3 receptor antagonist that ostensibly blocks spinal descending facilitation.An alternative strategy for limiting pain-related neurotransmission is to inhibit the release of excitatory amino acids. Accordingly, controlled trials of pregabalin Lyrica ; , which inhibits presynaptic glutamate release by binding the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltagedependent calcium channels, have shown promise in the treatment of the disorder. The proposition that sympathetic hyperactivity may play a fundamental role in the development and expression of FM symptoms inspired the author of the current review to conduct a trial of pindolol Visken ; , a mixed beta-1 beta-2 receptor antagonist, for the.

S affirmed at the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, women have the right to control the number and timing of their pregnancies. To realize this right, women throughout the world need access to a broad range of contraceptives, as well as to safe abortion services. While most contraceptives are intended for use before or during intercourse, some methods can be used within a short time after unprotected intercourse. Rumored folk methods such as postcoital douching with Coca-Cola are of dubious efficacy, but fortunately are not a woman's only alternative. Within the last 30 years, a number of other approaches that are believed to be safe and efficacious have been developed. These options, predominantly variations on oral contraceptive regimens, are often called "morning-after pills." A better name, however, is "emergency contraception, " which would dispel the idea that the user must wait until the morning after unprotected intercourse to start treatment--or that she will be too late if she cannot obtain treatment until the afternoon or night after. The name "emergency contraception" also stresses that the regimens are not intended for ongoing use. The roots of modern emergency contraception date back to the 1920s, when researchers initially demonstrated that estrogenic ovarian extracts interfere with pregnancy in mammals.1 Veterinarians were the first to apply this finding, administering estrogens to dogs and to horses that had mated when their owner had not wanted them to. Despite scattered reports of clinical use of postcoital estrogens in humans as early as the 1940s, 2 the first documented case was not published until the mid-1960s, when physicians in the Netherlands applied the veterinary practice of postcoital and cefadroxil. Pre-ART Before a person starts ART screening tests should be carried out to determine: a ; Identification of risk factors for drug toxicity, such as co-existent medical conditions that may be exacerbated by ART, such as hepatitis or diabetes mellitus b ; Baseline levels for future comparison once on ART.
