Title:Validity of scoring systems to predict risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation after coronary artery bypass graft surgery ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; 2002. 6 p. tab, graf.
Abstract:STUDY OBJECTIVE: Two scoring systems, (the Spivack scoring system [SSS] and the cardiac risk score [CRS]), have been proposed to predict the risk of prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). The primary objective of this study was to validate the efficacy of these scoring systems to predict the risk of PMV. DESIGN: Prospective observational study. SETTING: Cardiovascular surgical ICU. PATIENTS: Three hundred forty-eight patients underwent CABG. Following surgery, patients were extubated by a standardized respiratory weaning protocol. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: Forty-nine percent of patients had SSS > 0 and had significantly longer duration of mechanical ventilation. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the SSS for failure to extubate at 48 h are 80, 49, 9 per cent, and 98 per cent, respectively. Two hundred thirty-two patients (67.5 per cent), 101 patients (29 per cent), and 12 patients (3.5 per cent) had a CRS of 0 to 4, 5 to 8, and > 8, respectively. Patients with lower scores had shorter duration of mechanical ventilation. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of the CRS for failure to extubate at 10 h are 42, 73, 47 per cent and 69 per cent, respectively. CONCLUSION: The SSS may be used as a preoperative screening tool. A simple questionnaire that includes history of unstable angina, diabetes, congestive heart failure, and smoking prior to hospital admission can be used to calculate the SSS. Patients with SSS < further without surgery to proceed can and PMV for risk low at are 0>. (AU).

Title:Nose-blow smears in multibacillary leprosy patients ..-
Source:s.l; s.n; oct. 1983. 8 p. tab.
Abstract:332 nose-blow specimens have been examined from 73 untreated multibacillary patients of leprosy before and periodically after they were put on a maximal, minimal or an intermediate multi-drug regimen. 80% of these specimens were found to be positive for acid fast bacilli initially. Bacillary positivity rate was more in samples containing pus or blood. Bacilli were seen in LL, LI as well as BL patients. Nearly half of the cases became negative for AFB in their nose-blow specimens within 3 months of initiation of treatment whereas none of these patients has become negative in skin smears. However, a few cases have continued to discharge bacilli in their nasal secretions even after 12 months of multi-drug regimen therapy.(AU).
