Late Complications of Hemispherectomy: Report of a Case Relieved by Surgery
J Neurol Neurosurg Psychiatry: first published as 10.1136/jnnp.33.3.372 on 1 June 1970. Downloaded from J. Neurol. Neurosurg. Psychiat., 1970, 33, 372-375 Late complications of hemispherectomy: report of a case relieved by surgery NINAN T. MATHEW, JACOB ABRAHAM, AND JACOB CHANDY From the Department of Neurological Sciences, Christian Medical College Hospital, Vellore, S. India SUM M A RY A case of Sturge-Weber disease treated with left hemispherectomy presented, 11 years later, with complications related to delayed intracranial haemorrhage. A loculation syndrome of the right lateral ventricle was detected and it was corrected by a ventriculoatrial shunt operation. The side of the hemispherectomy was evacuated of all the chronic products of haemorrhage, including the subdural membrane. The patient was relieved of her symptoms. It is considered that compli- cations related to delayed haemorrhage after hemispherectomy are remediable. Immediate and delayed complications occur after 10 July 1969, with persistent headache, vomiting, and hemispherectomy. Early complications include ob- increasing drowsiness of three weeks' duration.

Laparoscopic Gastropexy As a Preventative Measure for Gastric Dilation Volvulus in Canines
Laparoscopic Gastropexy as a Preventative Measure for Gastric Dilation Volvulus in Canines By: Erin O’Brien Advisors: Dr. Kimberly Boswell Board Certified Surgeon Southwest Michigan Animal Emergency Hospital Kalamazoo, MI Dr. Diane R. Kiino Ph.D. Kalamazoo College Health Science A paper submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts at Kalamazoo College. 2010 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Over the summer I was able to intern at the Southwest Michigan Animal Emergency Hospital in Kalamazoo, MI. It was there that I was exposed to the emergency setting in veterinary medicine but also had the chance to observe surgeries done by Board Certified Surgeon, Dr. Kimberly Boswell. I would like to thank the entire staff at SWMAEH for teaching me a tremendous amount about veterinary medicine and allowing me to get as much hands on experience as possible. It was such a privilege to complete my internship at a hospital where I was able to learn so much about veterinary medicine in only ten weeks. I would also like to thank Dr. Boswell in particular, it was a gastropexy surgery I saw her perform during my internship that inspired the topic of this paper. Additionally I would like to acknowledge my advisor Dr. Diane Kiino for providing the direction I needed in choosing my paper topic. iii ABSTRACT Gastric Dilation Volvulus (GDV) is a fatal condition in canines especially those that are large or giant breeds. GDV results from the stomach distending and twisting on itself which when left untreated causes shock and ultimately death. The only method of prevention for GDV is a gastropexy, a surgical procedure that sutures the stomach to the abdominal wall to prevent volvulus or twisting. -

Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery Exceptional
FEMALE GENITAL COSMETIC SURGERY EXCEPTIONAL FUNDING REQUIRED BaNES, Swindon and Wiltshire CCG (BSW) does not normally fund elective vaginal labial surgery, vaginoplasty or hymenorrhaphy. Clinicians must ensure there is a clear clinical rationale for any potential intervention, as all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia for non-clinical reasons are defined as Female Genital Mutilation and as such are against the law. (The Female Genital Mutilation Act of 2003) Clinicians must be alert to the possibility that some patients who seek revision surgery may do so as a result of previous interventions which are classed as unlawful under the Act. Background Labiaplasty A labiaplasty is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of the labia minora. Labiaplasty is generally a cosmetic procedure to change appearance alone and common consequence of childbirth is not sufficient reason to apply for funding. Labiaplasty is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. Vaginoplasty Non-reconstructive vaginoplasty or "vaginal rejuvenation" is used to restore vaginal tone and appearance. As this is generally considered a cosmetic procedure, vaginoplasty is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. Hymenorrhaphy Hymenorrhaphy, or hymen reconstruction surgery, is a cosmetic procedure and is not normally supported or funded by the CCG. This policy does not relate to reversal of female genital mutilation. This policy is informed by the NHS England (2013) Interim Clinical Commissioning Policy Labiaplasty, Vaginoplasty & Hymenorrhaphy.

Modern Laser in Situ Keratomileusis Outcomes
REVIEW/UPDATE Modern laser in situ keratomileusis outcomes Helga P. Sandoval, MD, MSCR, Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, Thomas Kohnen, MD, PhD, FEBO, Richard L. Lindstrom, MD, Richard Potvin, OD, David M. Tremblay, MD, Kerry D. Solomon, MD Laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) articles published between 2008 and 2015 that contain clin- ical outcomes data were reviewed and graded for quality, impression, and potential bias. All 97 relevant articles (representing 67 893 eyes) provided a positive or neutral impression of LASIK. Industry bias was not evident. The aggregate loss of 2 or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity was 0.61% (359/58 653). The overall percentage of eyes with uncorrected distance visual acuity better than 20/40 was 99.5% (59 503/59 825). The spherical equivalent refraction was within G1.0 diopter (D) of the target refraction in 98.6% (59 476/60 329) of eyes, with 90.9% (59 954/65 974) within G0.5 D. In studies reporting patient satisfaction, 1.2% (129/9726) of pa- tients were dissatisfied with LASIK. Aggregate outcomes appear better than those reported in summaries of the safety and effectiveness of earlier laser refractive surgery systems approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Modern results support the safety, efficacy, and patient satisfaction of the procedure. Financial Disclosure: Proprietary or commercial disclosures are listed after the references.
