A single-incision laparoscopic technique for retrieval and replacement of disconnected ventriculoperitoneal shunt tubing found in the peritoneum.

A 7-year-old girl presented with signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure 2 years after insertion of a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Evaluation revealed disconnection of the distal shunt catheter and migration into the peritoneal cavity. A single-incision laparoscopic procedure was performed to locate and remove the disconnected shunt tubing, and the new shunt catheter was inserted through the laparoscopic port site. Laparoscopy is being used more frequently for evaluation and repair of distal VP shunt malfunctions, but generally still requires multiple incisions for port placement and insertion of the new shunt catheter. The single-incision technique used here is technically feasible, allows excellent visualization of the peritoneal cavity and does not require any incisions beyond the previous one used for initial shunt insertion.

A study of the relation between eating disorder and death concern.

The relationship between eating disorder and various components of death orientation (fear, anxiety, acceptance and concern) was examined, taking into account the level of depression in patient samples as well as elements of religiosity. The results were not able to support more than a very modest relationship between eating disorder and death orientation. Eating disorder patients could not be distinguished from other clinical controls, nor did anorexia nervosa patients differ from other eating disorder patients in this respect. Beck and Beck [20] depression scores were higher in the non eating disordered clinical sample than in the eating disorder group, and death concern was shown to be related to the severity of depression. Religiosity did not appear important when indices of religiosity were considered, but did emerge as an important factor in the "free information" provided by participants.

Proton magnetic resonance spectra of 17 xi-hydroxy-17 xi-methyl-5 xi-androstane C-3 ketone and C-3 xi alcohol isomers in chloroform-d and pyridine-d5.

17 alpha-Hydroxy-17 beta-methyl-5 beta-androstan-3-one,17 beta-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha,17 alpha-diol,17 beta-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 beta,17 alpha-diol,17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 beta,17 beta-diol,17 beta-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha,17 alpha-diol and 17 beta-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 beta,17 alpha-diol were synthesized for the first time. 1H NMR spectra of all four 17 xi-hydroxy/17 xi-methyl C-3 ketones and all eight C-3 alcohols were recorded in chloroform-d and pyridine-d5. Pyridine-induced chemical shifts are discussed. Thin-layer chromatographic data are given.

Metabolism of 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-dihydrotestosterone in the rabbit.

17 alpha-Methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha,17 beta-diol together with the hydroxylated metabolites 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-1 beta,3 alpha,17 beta-triol, 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha,12 beta,17 beta-triol, 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha,16 alpha,17 beta-triol and 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha,16 beta,17 beta-triol were isolated and identified in the urine of rabbits orally dosed with 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-dihydrotestosterone. Biotransformations differ from the 5 alpha-series where hydroxylation occurred at C-6 and C-15. In both series, the C-3 equatorial epimer was the major urinary excretion product among the non-hydroxylated metabolites. The 5 beta-compound was more resistant to metabolic hydroxylation than the 5 alpha-compound. No evidence for epimerization at the C-17 position was observed.

Metabolism of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone in the rabbit: C-6 and C-16 hydroxylated metabolites.

17 alpha-Methyltestosterone and the reduced metabolites, 17 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol, 17 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 beta, 17 beta-diol and 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol, together with three hydroxylated metabolites, 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha, 16 alpha, 17 beta-triol, 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha, 16 beta, 17 beta-triol and a new metabolite, 17 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 beta, 6 alpha, 17 beta-triol, were isolated and identified in the urine of rabbits dosed with 17 alpha-methyltestosterone. No hydroxylated 5 alpha-metabolite of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone has been identified previously. No of 17 alpha-methyltestosterone has been identified previously. No evidence for epimerization at the C-17 position was observed.

Methandrostenolone: metabolism in the rabbit.

Methandrostenolone and the fully reduced metabolites 17 alpha-methyl-5 alpha-androstane-3 beta, 17 beta-diol and 17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol, the partially reduced and hydroxylated metabolites 16 alpha, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androst-1-en-3-one and 16 beta, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-5 beta-androst-1-en-3-one, the monohydroxylated metabolites 6 beta, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one and 16 beta, 17 beta-dihydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one, and the dihydroxylated metabolite 6 beta, 16 beta, 17 beta-trihydroxy-17 beta-trihydroxy-17 alpha-methyl-1,4-androstadien-3-one have been isolated and identified in the urine of rabbits orally dosed with methandrostenolone. C-16 Hydroxylated and dihydroxylated metabolites have not been previously reported from methandrostenolone. No evidence for epimerization at the C-17 position was observed in the rabbit.
