  • Abstracts Sa Heart Congress 2009
    ABSTRACTS SA HEART CONGRESS 2009 Risk factors associated with six-month mortality following vascular surgery Jamila Khatoon Adam, Bruce Biccard, Sumansha Nepaul and Wafaa N.S. Rmaih Durban University of Technology, Department of Biomedical and Clinical Technology, Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa Introduction: Every day a large number of patients undergo vascular surgery, but not all of these patients survive surgery. By looking at risk factors identifi ed in previous studies the outcome of some patients’ surgery may be predicted. However, there is a limited number of studies on South African patients with regards to risk factors associated with post-operative vascular surgical survival. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors associated with six-month mortality following vascular surgery. Methods: Patients selected (>39y) for this study were scheduled for both elective and emergency vascular surgery at Inkosi Albert Luthuli Central Hospital, between June 2003 and July 2007. Demographic data from the hospital computerised data base was extracted, as well as patients’ date of surgery and their inpatient and outpatient visit dates. The patients’ hospital visits following surgery were analysed. 283 patients were included. The risk factors examined in this study were; male sex, history of smoking, ischaemic heart disease, congestive cardiac failure; cerebrovascular accident, diabetes, hypertension, creatinine >180 μmol.L-1, chronic beta-blockade, major vascular surgery, mean daily heart rate (HR) the day before surgery; mean daily HR on the third postoperative day and mean daily systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 100 or > 179mmHg. These factors were entered into a bivariate cox regression analysis. Risk factors with a p < 0.1 were entered into a multivariate analysis.

    Sports Wednesday, June 5, 2019 15 News in brief Roy, Archer & Ahmed fined for breaching ICC code LONDON: Jason Roy and Jofra Archer have each been fined 15 percent of their match fees for incidents during England’s World Cup defeat by Pakistan at Trent Bridge. The International Cricket Council found opener Roy had breached level one of its code of conduct, using an audible obscenity after a misfield during Pakistan’s innings. Fast bowler Archer was found guilty of dissent towards an umpire’s decision following a wide delivery. Both players have also had one demerit point added to their records. Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed was fined 20 percent of his fee, and his teammates 10 percent, for a minor over-rate offence. Pakistan won Monday’s match by 14 runs after setting England a target of 349. It was an occasionally fractious encounter, with the umpires warning England skipper Eoin Morgan about his side throwing the ball in on the bounce and later issuing the same reminder to Sarfaraz. The tactic is often used to scuff up the ball and promote reverse swing. England batsman Jos Buttler appeared to take a look at the ball on his walk back to the pavilion after his knock of 103 came to an end. English crowds “stupid” to boo Warner, says manager MELBOURNE: English crowds are “stupid” to jeer David Warner at the Cricket World Cup as it will only fire him up, the Australian batsman’s manager James Erskine has said.

  • Ashwin Spoils Jennings Debut Ton with Three-Wicket Burst
    Sports FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2016 Pak has poor 1st day on Aust tour CAIRNS: Pakistan’s cricket tour of Australia got off to a shaky start yesterday when the visitors were all out for 208 on the first day of a three-day tour match against a Cricket Australia XI. Playing with a near full-strength lineup and with a pink ball in the day-night match in preparation for the first test on Dec. 15 in Brisbane - also a day-night encounter - Pakistan lost six wickets in the final session under lights. Cricket Australia XI bowler Cameron Valente claimed four wickets, including three of Pakistan’s top six. After winning the toss and electing to bat, the visitors fell to 50-3 midway through the opening session, and wickets went down steadily from there. Only veteran Younis Khan offered sustained resistance, facing 138 balls before he inside-edged a ball from Ryan Lees that swung back slightly under lights to be caught behind for 54. He was the only Pakistan batsman to reach 50. Earlier yesterday, Pakistan officials said uncapped 17-year-old left-arm spinner Mohammad Asghar would join the team as a backup for injured legspinner Yasir Shah. Shah is doubtful for the first test following a back injury which also ruled him out of the Cairns match. Asghar has taken 68 wickets in 17 first-class matches since making his debut in 2014. Shah had been pivotal to Pakistan’s suc- cess in test matches for the last two years, taking 116 wickets in only 20 tests.
