Increased platelet-derived microparticles in the coronary circulation of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty patients

Platelet-derived microparticles that are produced during platelet activation are capable of adhesion and aggregation. Endothelial trauma that occurs during percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) may support platelet-derived microparticle adhesion and contribute to development of restenosis. We have previously reported an increase in platelet-derived microparticles in peripheral arterial blood with angioplasty. This finding raised concerns regarding the role of platelet-derived microparticles in restenosis, and therefore the aim of this study was to monitor levels in the coronary circulation. The study population consisted of 19 angioplasty patients. Paired coronary artery and sinus samples were obtained following heparinization, following contrast administration, and subsequent to all vessel manipulation. Platelet-derived microparticles were identified with an anti-CD61 (glycoprotein IIIa) fluorescence-conjugated antibody using flow cytometry. There was a significant decrease in arterial platelet-derived microparticles from heparinization to contrast administration (P=0.001), followed by a significant increase to the end of angioplasty (P=0.004). However, there was no significant change throughout the venous samples. These results indicate that the higher level of platelet-derived microparticles after angioplasty in arterial blood remained in the coronary circulation. Interestingly, levels of thrombin-antithrombin complexes did not rise during PTCA. This may have implications for the development of coronary restenosis post-PTCA, although this remains to be determined.

Somatosensation, circulation and stance balance in elderly dysvascular transtibial amputees

Objective: To establish the relationship between poor lower limb somatosensory and circulatory status with standing balance, falls history, age and mobility level in dysvascular transtibial amputees (TTAs). Design: Within-subjects evaluation of somatosensation, circulation and stance balance measures in dysvascular transtibial amputees. Setting: Physiotherapy department of a tertiary metropolitan hospital in Australia. Participants: Twenty-two community-dwelling unilateral dysvascular transtibial amputee volunteers, aged between 54 and 86 recruited from a metropolitan hospital outpatient amputee clinic. Main outcome measures: Lower limb vibration sense, light touch sensation and circulatory status were related to centre of pressure excursion during quiet stance, dynamic balance measures of forward and lateral reach distance, and demographic information such as falls history and mobility level. Results: Overall, poor somatosensory status was associated with poor stance balance. There was an association between poor vibration and circulation and increased centre of pressure excursion in quiet stance and reduced reach distance, whereas poor light touch was linked with even weight-bearing in quiet stance. Poor vibration sense was associated with a history of frequent falls. Conclusions: Compromised lower limb somatosensation and circulation was linked with poor balance and a history of frequent falls in the elderly dysvascular amputee population.

Movement and figurality: The circulation diagram and the history of the architectural plan

Knowledge of the plan competes with self-consciousness of experience. The less we are able to understand our spatio-visual experience by the abstract coordinates of the plan, the more we are thrust back into a lived experience of the building in duration. This formula, frequently unacknowledged, has been one of the main precepts of the experientialist modernism which arises out of the picturesque and which stands in critique of classical idealism. One of the paths to critique this formula is by showing that the attention to the experience of the spaces in duration is predicated on obscuring, complicating and weakening the apprehension of the plan as a figure. Another development in the practice of modern planning has been architects using a kind of over-drawing where human circulation diagrams or 'movement lines' are drawn expressively across the orthographic plane; thus representing the lived experience of buildings. We will show that these two issues are linked; the plan's weak figure and the privilege this supposes for durational experience has a corollary - experience itself demands to be visible in the plan, and this is one origin of the present fascination with 'diagramming'. In this paper we explore the practice of architectural planning and its theoretical underpinnings in an attempt to show the viability of a history of architectural planning methods.

COMPREENSÃO DO FUNCIONAMENTO MENTAL EM PACIENTES COM ACIDENTE CEREBROVASCULAR: UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO DA PSICOLOGIA DA SAÚDE

O acidente cerebrovascular é uma doença de grande incidência no Brasil e no mundo. As pessoas que sofreram este tipo de acometimento podem apresentar seqüelas variadas, como motoras, cognitivas, sensoriais, sociais, afetivo-emocionais e transtornos psiquiátricos, levando a graus variados de dependência. Sendo assim, um estudo psicológico se faz importante, pois estas pessoas sofrerão mudanças em suas rotinas e no seu mundo interno.O presente trabalho trata-se de uma pesquisa clínico qualitativa, e teve como objetivos investigar as repercussões psicológicas de pacientes adultos que sofreram acidente cerebrovascular; compreender o funcionamento mental, a deterioração neuropsicológica e a adaptação humana desses pacientes, através da Escala de Avaliação Global do Funcionamento, do Desenho da Figura Humana, e da Escala do Diagnóstico Adaptativo Operacionalizado; compreender o sofrimento psicológico em narrativas da entrevista psicológica dessas pessoas e investigar como os indivíduos contam sua própria história numa compreensão psicossomática e psicanalítica. Para isso, utilizou-se o referencial teórico da Psicanálise e as concepções de Neuropsicanálise e Psicossomática. Foram analisados os relatos de cinco pacientes em tratamento num centro de reabilitação. Observou-se que por tratar-se de uma lesão cerebral, as repercussões psicológicas de quem sofreu acidente cerebrovascular devem ser observadas do ponto de vista neuropsicológico e a dinâmica afetivo-emocional. Os dados do Eixo V do DSM-IV, Escala de Avaliação Global do Funcionamento, e da Escala do Diagnóstico Adaptativo Operacionalizado de Ryad Simon apresentaram forte correlação estatística, embora a última seja mais compreensiva do ponto de vista psicanalítico; todos os pacientes apresentaram Adaptação Ineficaz. Quanto ao Desenho da Figura Humana, questionou-se a fidedignidade deste tipo de técnica nessa população, uma vez que os dados de organicidade interferem bastante. A história construída foi um instrumento importante para investigar como o indivíduo que sofreu acidente cerebrovascular contou sua própria história, seus mecanismos de defesa e as fantasias inconscientes, surgindo nesses relatos histórias importantes de depressão. Os mecanismos de defesa predominante no funcionamento mental desses pacientes foram a repressão e a desvalorização, no funcionamento neurótico, e a onipotência no funcionamento psicótico.(AU)

First-line therapy with latanoprost 0.005% results in improved ocular circulation in newly diagnosed primary open-angle glaucoma patients: a prospective, 6-month, open-label study

Purpose To evaluate the effect of latanoprost 0.005% on the optic nerve head (ONH) and retinal circulation of newly diagnosed and previously untreated primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) patients. Methods Twenty-two newly diagnosed and previously untreated POAG patients (mean age±SD: 68.38±11.92 years) were included in this longitudinal open-label study. Patients were treated with latanoprost 0.005% once a day. Intraocular pressure (IOP), systemic blood pressure (BP), mean ocular perfusion pressure (MOPP), and ocular perfusion parameters ‘volume’, ‘velocity’, and ‘flow’ measured at the optic nerve head (ONH) and retina by means of Heidelberg Retina Flowmeter system were evaluated during a 6-month follow-up period. Results Treatment with latanoprost 0.005% resulted in a significant decrease in IOP (P<0.0001) and increase in MOPP (P<0.0001). After correcting for changes in MOPP, the blood velocity measured at the ONH level was significantly higher after 6 months of treatment than at baseline (P=0.0310). In addition, blood volume and flow measured at the peripapillary retina level improved after 3 and 6 months of treatment (P=0.0170; P=0.0260, and P=0.0170; P=0.0240 respectively). Conclusion Previously untreated POAG patients exhibit reduced IOP, increased MOPP and improved ocular perfusion at the ONH and retina levels when treated with Latanoprost 0.005%. These effects could be beneficial for glaucoma patients suffering from ocular vascular dysregulation.

A naturally shaped silicone ventricle evaluated in a mock circulation loop: a preliminary study

Mock circulation loops are used to evaluate the performance of cardiac assist devices prior to animal and clinical testing. A compressible, translucent silicone ventricle chamber that mimics the exact size, shape and motion of a failing heart is desired to assist in flow visualization studies around inflow cannulae during VAD support. The aim of this study was therefore to design and construct a naturally shaped flexible left ventricle and evaluate its performance in a mock circulation loop. The ventricle shape was constructed by the use of CT images taken from a patient experiencing cardiomyopathic heart failure and used to create a 3D image and subsequent mould to produce a silicone ventricle. Different cardiac conditions were successfully simulated to validate the ventricle performance, including rest, left heart failure and VAD support.
