THE FALSE ANEURYSM.

View original source ↗Export metadata ↓

Abstract

The clinical course of 18 patients with 25 false aneurysms is reviewed. In recent years false aneurysm has been most commonly seen as a complication of arterioplastic procedures in which prosthetic arterial grafts were used. The use of indwelling needles or cannulae, particularly in patients with a wide arterial pulse pressure, can also lead to the formation of false aneurysms. In the groin, a false aneurysm is frequently mistaken for an abscess. Early diagnosis and operative repair are essential to reduce the incidence of further complications.

Bayesian tests of extra-Binomial variability.

A simple model for extra-Binomial variability is the Beta-Binomial. A complication in testing the Binomial against the Beta-Binomial alternative is that the Binomial lies on the boundary of the Beta-Binomial, which forces modifications to the usual asymptotic arguments. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian test using a pair of approximate Bayes factors, one for the case in which the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the extra-Binomial variability is zero and one for the case in which it is positive. These approximate Bayes factors are easy to compute. We evaluate the operating characteristics of the Bayes factors and find them to be more powerful than the likelihood ratio test. We then apply the method to three data sets, including one in which the issue is whether a logistic regression intercept should be considered a random effect. In each case, our approximate Bayes factors are close to the exact Bayes factors, which may also be computed with additional effort.

Biphasic modulation of behavioral nociceptive responses by morphine in adult mice after amputation.

Amputation of a segment of the tail produced long-lasting changes in nociception and morphine-induced antinociception. Plastic changes in nociceptive transmission may occur at the spinal cord as well as supraspinal structures after tail amputation. Acute hyperalgesia is detected at the remaining part of the tail as well as hindpaw. Morphine induced facilitation of the hot-plate (HP) response at a low dose and a greater dose of morphine is required to produce complete inhibition of the HP response. Since these effects happen at five weeks after the surgery, tail amputation may serve as a mouse model for studying long-term plastic changes in central nervous system after amputation.

Foot problems in diabetes: an overview.

Diabetes is the leading cause of nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations in the United States. Most amputations are preceded by an ulcer, and ulcers are costly in their own right. Most ulcers are neuropathic in etiology and plantar in location. They occur typically at sites of high mechanical loading because of repetitive trauma in people with loss of pain sensation. In an adequately perfused limb, such ulcers are not difficult to heal. When they are properly mechanically off-loaded, approximately 90% of these wounds heal in approximately 6 weeks. The reference standard off-loading device is the total contact cast, but other reasonably efficacious methods exist. Screening and implementation of preventive measures in the high-risk patient are highly recommended and can reduce the incidence of ulceration. All patients with diabetes should be screened annually for loss of protective sensation, with the 10-g Semmes-Weinstein monofilament being the easiest tool to use. Education to prevent complications should be implemented for all patients with loss of protective sensation.
