Abstract
BACKGROUND: Infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) are associated with greater mortality and morbidity; however, risk factors for community-acquired infections caused by MRSA have not been established. Therefore, community patients who are admitted to hospitals without the necessary contact precautions and are infected with community-acquired lineages eventually cause these lineages to spread to these settings. The aim of this study was to detect community-acquired lineages of MRSA in patients on admission to a Brazilian teaching hospital.
METHODS: The antimicrobial susceptibility of the MRSA isolates from nasal swabs was evaluated as was the molecular characteristics of the staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec). The clonality was determined using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis and multilocus sequence type analysis.
RESULTS: A total of 702 patients were evaluated between March 2012 and March 2013; 180 (25%) of them were colonized by S aureus, and 21 (3%) were MRSA. The SCCmec IV/USA1100/sequence type (ST) 30 was the predominant MRSA lineage (42.8%), followed by SCCmec IV/USA800/ST5 (23.8%).
CONCLUSIONS: The occurrence of MRSA colonization was very low, and only 1 patient from cardiac surgery developed an infection, which was caused by an SCCmec II/USA100/ST5 isolate. Screening for MRSA colonization on admission does not seem to be productive; however, for populations submitted to specific surgeries, active surveillance should be implemented.

Through assay analysis into an excess of 1M H2SO4 at fixed temperature a technique has been developed for uranium concentration analysis by visible absorption spectroscopy over an assay concentration range of 1.8–13.4mgU/g. Once implemented for a particular spectrophotometer and set of spectroscopic cells this technique promises to provide more rapid results than a classical method such as Davies-Gray (DG) titration analysis. While not as accurate and precise as the DG method, a comparative analysis study reveals that the spectroscopic method can analyze for uranium in well characterized uranyl(VI) solution samples to within 0.3% of the DG results. For unknown uranium solutions in which sample purity is less well defined agreement between the developed spectroscopic method and DG analysis is within 0.5%. The technique can also be used to detect the presence of impurities that impact the colorimetric analysis, as confirmed through the analysis of ruthenium contamination. Finally, extending the technique to other assay solution, 1M HNO3, HCl and Na2CO3, has also been shown to be viable. Of the four aqueous media the carbonate solution yields the largest molar absorptivity value at the most intensely absorbing band, with the least impact of temperature.

BackgroundThe purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of hospital volume on perioperative outcomes of clinical tumour stage (cT)1-3 and cT4 rectal cancer.Methods16.162 patients operated for rectal cancer enrolled in the Dutch Surgical Colorectal Audit between 2009 and 2015 were included. Hospitals were divided into low (<20 cases/year), medium (21-50 cases/year) and high (>50 cases/year) volume for cT1-3 rectal cancer, and for cT4 rectal cancer into low (1-4 cases/year), medium (5-9 cases/year) and high (≥10 cases/year) volume. The influence of hospital volume on perioperative outcomes was investigated.ResultsWith regards to cT1-3 tumours, low volume hospitals were associated with lower risk of complications (33.8% vs. 36.6% and 38.1%, p=0.009), anastomotic leakage (5.4% vs. 8.1% and 8.6%), and reinterventions (11.5% vs. 12.6% and 14.8%, p=0.002) as compared to medium and high volume hospitals. Thirty-day mortality and R0 rates were comparable between groups.In high cT4 volume hospitals, rates of extensive resection of cT4 tumour involvement (49.4% vs. 25.4% and 15.5%, p<0.001) and additional resection of metastasis (17.5% vs. 14.4% and 3.0%, p<0.001) were increased as compared to medium and low volume hospitals. Thirty-day mortality and R0 rates were comparable between groups. In a sub-analysis of pathologic tumour stage 4 patients, irradical resections were increased in low volume hospitals (33.8% vs. 22.5% and 20.8% in medium and high volume hospitals, p=0.031).ConclusionsFor true cT4 rectal cancer, high volume hospitals may offer a better multimodality treatment, while for cT1-3 rectal cancer there appears no benefit for centralization.

IntroductionCompletion lymph node dissection (CLND) in sentinel node (SN)-positive melanoma patients is accompanied with morbidity, while about 80% yield no additional metastases in non-sentinel nodes (NSNs). A prediction tool for NSN involvement could be of assistance in patient selection for CLND. This study investigated which parameters predict NSN-positivity, and whether the biomarker S-100B improves the accuracy of a prediction model.MethodsRecorded clinicopathologic factors were tested for their association with NSN-positivity in 110 SN-positive patients who underwent CLND. A prediction model was developed with multivariable logistic regression, incorporating all predictive factors. Five models were compared for their predictive power by calculating the Area Under the Curve (AUC). A weighted risk score, 'S-100B Non-Sentinel Node Risk Score' (SN-SNORS), was derived for the model with the highest AUC. Besides, a nomogram was developed as visual representation.ResultsNSN-positivity was present in 24 (21.8%) patients. Sex, ulceration, number of harvested SNs, number of positive SNs, and S-100B value were independently associated with NSN-positivity. The AUC for the model including all these factors was 0.78 (95%CI 0.69-0.88). SN-SNORS was the sum of scores for the five parameters. Scores of ≤ 9.5, 10-11.5, and ≥ 12 were associated with low (0%), intermediate (21.0%) and high (43.2%) risk of NSN involvement.ConclusionsA prediction tool based on five parameters, including the biomarker S-100B, showed accurate risk stratification for NSN-involvement in SN-positive melanoma patients. If validated in future studies, this tool could help to identify patients with low risk for NSN-involvement.

BackgroundSome studies demonstrate that high-complex surgeries performed later in the week are associated with higher postoperative mortality and worse long-term survival. The aim of this cohort study was to determine whether weekday influences outcomes in patients undergoing gastrectomy for cancer.MethodsAll patients who underwent a curative gastrectomy for cancer (2006-2014) were selected from the nationwide population-based Netherlands Cancer Registry. Weekday was analyzed as categorized (Monday-Tuesday versus Wednesday-Friday) and discrete variable (Monday-Friday). The influence of weekday on postoperative 30- and 90-day mortality, and oncological outcomes (lymph node yield, radicality rate and overall survival) was assessed with multivariable logistic and Cox regression analyses.ResultsA total of 3.776 patients were included with a median overall survival of 26.7 months [range 0-120]. The 30- and 90- day mortality were 5% and 8% respectively, median lymph node yield was 13 [range 0-87], and radicality rate was 87%. In multivariable analysis, no influence of weekday was found on postoperative mortality (p>0.05), on R0 resection rates (p>0.05), nor on overall survival (Monday-Friday, HR 1.03, 95%CI 1.01-1.04, p=0.111; Wednesday-Friday vs. Monday-Tuesday, HR 1.05, 95%CI 0.96-1.14, p=0.307). The lymph node yield was significantly lower later in the week compared to earlier (Monday-Friday, OR 0.94, 95%CI 0.89-0.99, p=0.013; Wednesday-Friday vs. Monday-Tuesday OR 0.83, 95%CI 0.71-0.96, p=0.010), which was most apparent in recent years of surgery.ConclusionGastric cancer surgery can be performed safely throughout the week regarding postoperative mortality, radicality and overall survival. A point of concern is a reduced lymph node yield later in the week.

BackgroundComplex surgical procedures such as esophagectomy and gastrectomy for cancer are associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate trends in postoperative morbidity, mortality, and associated failure-to-rescue (FTR), in patients who underwent a potentially curative resection for esophageal or gastric cancer in the Netherlands, and to investigate differences between the two groups.MethodsAll patients with esophageal or gastric cancer who underwent a potentially curative resection, registered in the Dutch Upper GI Cancer Audit (DUCA) between 2011-2014, were included. Primary outcomes were (major) postoperative complications, postoperative mortality and FTR. To investigate groups' effect on the outcomes of interest a mixed model was used.ResultsOverall, 2644 patients with esophageal cancer and 1584 patients with gastric cancer were included in this study. In patients with gastric cancer, postoperative mortality (7.7% in 2011 vs. 3.8% in 2014) and FTR (38% in 2011 and 19% in 2014) decreased significantly over the years. The adjusted risk of developing a major postoperative complication was lower (OR 0.54; 95% CI 0.42-0.70), but the risk of FTR was higher (OR 1.85; 95% CI 1.05-3.27) in patients with gastric cancer compared to patients with esophageal cancer.ConclusionOnce a postoperative complication occurred, patients with gastric cancer were more likely to die compared to patients with esophageal cancer. Underlying mechanisms like patient selection, and differences in structure and organization of care should be investigated. Next to morbidity and mortality, failure-to-rescue should be considered as an important outcome measure after esophagogastric cancer resections.

Thermographic analysis of the effect of composite type, layering method, and curing light on the temperature rise of photo-cured composites in tooth cavities

Publication date: Available online 29 July 2017
Source:Dental Materials
Author(s): Min-Jung Kim, Ryan Jin-Young Kim, Jack Ferracane, In-Bog Lee
ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to investigate temperature rise in the composite and dentin of a class I cavity in extracted human molars under different restoration conditions, including the use of different composite types, layering methods, and curing lights.MethodsOpen occlusal cavities were prepared on 28 extracted human molars. A conventional (Filtek Z250) and a bulk-fill (Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior; BFP) composite were used to restore the preparations. BFP was incrementally layered or bulk-filled. Bulk-filled BFP was cured with two different lights, the Elipar S10 and the BeLite. Each layer was illuminated for 20s, while thermograms of the specimens were recorded for 100s using an infrared thermal camera. Temperature changes on the composite and dentin surfaces were obtained at points of interest (POI) pertaining to successive incremental distances of 0.75mm from the top of the cavity to the pulp. The polymerization kinetics of each composite was determined using photo-differential scanning calorimetry.ResultsThe greatest temperature rise was observed 0.75mm apical from the top of the cavity. All groups showed over 6°C maximum temperature rise (ΔTmax) at the pulpal side of the dentin. Upon curing, Z250 reached ΔT=5°C faster than BFP; however, ΔTmax of the two composites were comparable at any POI. Bulk filling showed greater ΔTmax than incremental filling at 0.75mm apical from the top and in the middle of the cavity. The Elipar S10 light generated faster temperature changes in the curing composite at all recorded positions throughout the depth of the cavity and greater ΔTmax in all POIs compared to BeLite.SignificanceReal-time thermographic analysis demonstrated that the composite type and layering method did not influence the temperature rise at the pulpal side of dentin during composite restoration of an occlusal preparation in a tooth. The amount and initial rate of temperature increase was most affected by the radiant exposure of the light curing unit. Within the limitations of this in vitro study, when irradiation time is constant, a curing light with higher radiant power can induce relatively high thermal transfer, thereby increasing the risk of pulpal damage.
