To facilitate the delivery of fluids during labour, obstetric anaesthetists from Coventry designed a triple IV peripheral connector with a central high-flow anti-reflux valve. This connector, now rightly known as the Coventry valve, can be used for all theatre settings and is especially useful in obstetrics, ICU, HDU and orthopaedics. More details on www.mediplus.co.uk

Diabetes is a growing global health concern, as is obesity. Diabetes and obesity are intrinsically linked: obesity increases the risk of diabetes and also contributes to disease progression and cardiovascular disease. Although the benefits of weight loss in the prevention of diabetes and as a critical component of managing the condition are well established, weight reduction remains challenging for individuals with type 2 diabetes due to a host of metabolic and psychological factors. For many patients, lifestyle intervention is not enough to achieve weight loss, and alternative options, such as pharmacotherapy, need to be considered. However, many traditional glucose-lowering medications may lead to weight gain. This article focuses on the potential of currently available pharmacological strategies and on emerging approaches in development to support the glycemic and weight-loss goals of individuals with type 2 diabetes. Two pharmacotherapy types are considered: those developed primarily for blood glucose control that have a favorable effect on body weight and those developed primarily to induce weight loss that have a favorable effect on blood glucose control. Finally, the potential of combination therapies for the management of obese patients with type 2 diabetes is discussed.

Cannula are often introduced into blood vessels in 80% of patients in the hospital for treatment. This can be a daunting experience to patients and stressful to doctors as multiple attempts are used. This may result in introducing spreading MRSA, E Coli & Chlostredium living on your skin into blood and results in Invasive MRSA infection.

Skin is often not adequatly cleaned during subsequent atempts as doctors/nurses do not wait for 1 min after applying cleaning solution on the skin before they puncture your skin.

Multiple punctured sites allow CA-MRSA to enter blood stream resulting in bacteremia and death.

Our mission is to reduce spreading invasive CA-MRSA in the hospitals by developing alternative technique to introduce cannulae.

Medifix was created by doctors with a mission to reduce the threat of spreading antibiotic resustant bacteria to mankind.

We herein describe endoscopic treatment of symptomatic pancreatic pseudocyst with significant necrosis and a fistula. Fifty eight year old man had presented to us with a large pseudocyst following an episode of acute pancreatitis. He was complaining of significant abdominal pain for two months. A... CT scan abdominal had revealed a large retro-gastric pseudocyst with necrosis and portal venous thrombosis. An upper GI endoscopy had revealed small linear fundal varcies. Endoscopic as well as surgical treatment for the cyst was discussed with the patient. Patient wished not to undergo surgical treatment and therefore endoscopic treatment was selected after a proper consent. EUS was performed to see for the interposed vessel prior to the pseudocyst puncture. Needle knife puncture was made and a guide wire was passed in the pseudocyst cavity. After confirming the wire placement in the cyst, the tract was dilated up to 20 mms using a CRE balloon. Fluid from the cyst was emptied out in the stomach. An ERCP scope was passed in to the cyst cavity, which revealed a significant necrotic material (much more than what the CT scan had revealed). All the free lying necrotic material was taken out with the help of a snare and a dormia basket. A lot of necrotic was stuck to the cyst wall, which was removed with the help of water jet, mechanical scooping and cutting through using a needle knife papillotome. Three 10 fr. Pigtail stents were placed at the end of the procedure. Further necrosectomy was carried out on alternate days for three more sessions. Dilation was required prior to each session three pigtail trans-gastric stents were placed at the end of each session. Single stent was kept in situ during each procedure to guide the path (the position of the stoma changed dramatically once the cyst was empty). During the last lesion (session four), a pancreatogram was taken. It revealed a mildly dilated CBD in the head, normally duct in the proximal body with a leak from the distal body, and contrast was seen going in to the pseudocyst cavity. The duct could not be opacified distally. A 7 fr. 15 cms stent was placed trans-papillary. When the cyst cavity was reentered through trans-gastric route, the trans-papillary pancreatic stent was clearly visible with soft necrotic material around it. In fact, the stent guided further necrosis removal. It also helped in diverting the pancreatic juice to the duodenum rather than in the pseudocyst cavity. Patient was discharged after this session and was followed up regularly. A CT scan was obtained after three months, which revealed a complete resolution of the necrosis and pseudocyst. There was a possibility of a persistent fistula after the removal of trans-papillary stent and a recurrence of the pseudocyst. Fistula closure with cyanoacrylate glue is well described in the literature. The procedure can have obvious complications secondary to accidental blockage of the main pancreatic duct. So, we thought it prudent to use a safer alternative to treat the condition. We removed the longer pancreatic stent and replaced it with a shorter pancreatic stent occupying only the head region. The patient was followed up after a month; sonography of the abdomen did not reveal any recurrence of the pseudocyst. All the stents were removed at this examination.

The hair transplant surgeon can accurately estimate the number of follicular grafts that can be obtained from dissecting a donor strip of a given size. The same number of follicular units can be used to cover a specific size bald area regardless of the patient's actual hair density.

The heart receives its own supply of blood from the coronary arteries. Two major coronary arteries branch off from the aorta near the point where the aorta and the left ventricle meet. These arteries and their branches supply all parts of the heart muscle with blood.

Brachytherapy or localized radiation treatment can be used in certain patients with breast cancer. Depending on tumor size and other factor, physicians may use APBI or accelerated partial breast irradiation. Dr. Elizabeth Tapen, a radiation oncologist, reviews brachytherapy for breast cancer.
