RESUMO

Panayiotopoulos syndrome is a relatively frequent and benign epileptic syndrome, characterised by predominantly autonomic symptoms and/or simple motor focal seizures followed or not by impairment of consciousness. Interictal EEG shows occipital spikes although multifocal spikes with high amplitude sharp-slow wave complexes at various locations can be present. This syndrome can imitate gastroenteritis, encephalitis, syncope, migraine, sleep disorders or metabolic diseases. The peculiar aspects should be known not only by epileptologists but also by general doctors because a correct diagnosis would avoid aggressive interventions and concerns on account of its benign outcome. This review focuses on the main clinical and EEG features of this epilepsy underlining its typical and atypical symptoms and its management.

RESUMO

A controlled, randomized, prospective study was performed evaluating the need for perioperative blood salvage for primary total hip arthroplasty patients who had donated autologous blood before surgery. One hundred fifty-three patients able to donate at least 2 units of autologous blood were divided into four groups. In group 1 (35 patients), intraoperative and postoperative Cell-Saver (Haemonetics, Braintree, MA) was employed. In group 2 (40 patients), a postoperative Solcotrans (Smith & Nephew Richards, Memphis, TN) reinfusion protocol was followed. In group 3 (40 patients), a closed-suction Hemovac drain (Zimmer, Warsaw, IN) was placed. In group 4, (38 patients), no drain was used. Decisions for transfusion were based on clinical and laboratory parameters and made in conjunction with medical consultation. All autologous blood was routinely reinfused. There was no statistically significant difference in transfusion requirements or wound complications among the four groups. Hemoglobin and hematocrit changes between groups also were not statistically significant, but a power test suggested insufficient patient numbers for absolute reliability of this observation. Only five patients (3.3%) in this study received homologous blood. Four of these patients were in the Solcotrans group and one was in the Cell-Saver group. Two reoperations were performed: one for hematoma (Solcotrans group) and one for a sewn-in drain. It is concluded that expensive perioperative blood salvage techniques are usually not needed in patients who have a primary total hip arthroplasty without cement and who have donated 2 units of blood before operation.

RESUMO

The increasing use of paracentesis has prompted us to look into medical devices that might be useful for making the technique quicker and safer. Therefore we have designed a sterile, disposable, painless and safe needle that allows us to perform paracentesis in 30 patients, extracting an average of 6,000 cc of ascitic fluid in about 120 minutes, without any serious complications.

RESUMO

Endoscopic ultrasonography contributed to a correct diagnosis in 24 of 25 patients with gastric submucosal tumor, including 10 extrinsic compressions and 14 intraparietal growths. Leiomyoma and lipoma were easily recognized. In one case, an unusual group of gastric varices was clearly differentiated from a pedunculated polyp prior to polypectomy. In gastric submucosal tumors, endoscopic ultrasonography can greatly reduce the need for aggressive and risky biopsy techniques or exploratory laparotomy.

RESUMO

In order to evaluate possible changes in the portal venous system after endoscopic sclerosis of esophageal varices, 25 cirrhotic patients underwent abdominal ultrasonography before the first session of sclerotherapy and after eradication of esophageal varices had been achieved. The caliber of the portal, splenic, and superior mesenteric veins was measured sonographically in each case. Sonographic results were compared statistically before and after sclerotherapy. Neither evidence of significant variations in the caliber of the portal veins nor thrombotic obliteration was seen. These results support the view that sclerotherapy has no significant negative side effects on the portal venous system.
