Double Intervention in Single Sitting: Percutaneous Device Closure and Permanent Pacemaker Implantation in a Patient with Atrial Septal Defect

Context: Atrial septal defect may rarely be associated with other cardiac diseases such as arrhythmia, and may require additional intervention. Case report: A 16-year-old boy presented with effort dyspnea, tiredness, and fatigue. The electrocardiograph revealed right bundle branch block, atrioventricular block, and left axis deviation. Ostium secundum type of atrial septal defect was detected by transthoracic echocardiography and was confirmed by transesophageal echocardiography. The patient was advised to undergo percutaneous device closure. Permanent pacemaker implantation was also suggested considering the risk of fatal arrhythmias associated with atrioventricular block. Consequently, patient underwent percutaneous atrial septal defect closure and implantation of pacemaker in a single sitting. Both the procedures were successful, after which the patient showed remarkable symptomatic improvement. Conclusion: In atrial septal defect patients with unexplained atrioventricular block, closure of atrial septal defect and implantation of pacemaker in single sitting appear to be an attractive modality.

Dependence of Plasma Parameters on Plate Separation and Filament Location in a Double Plasma Device

A pair of stainless steel (ss) plates separates the source and target regions of a double plasma device. Two sets of tungsten filaments, placed at different distances from the ss plates, are then used to produce plasma alternately and the plasma parameters in the source and target regions for different discharge voltage, discharge current and plate separation are measured using Langmuir probes. It is found that plasma density and electron temperature are considerably affected and respond differently to changes in the plate separations and the position of the filaments.

Effect of Single- versus Double-Layer Uterine Closure during Caesarean Section on Niche Formation and Menstrual Irregularity

Background: The myometrium at the location of the CS (caesarean section) scars, also known as residual myometrium thickness (RMT), is larger after a double-layer uterine closure procedure than following a single-layer one. It may lessen the formation of a niche that is the myometrium’s disruption at the location of the scar of the uterus. Gynecological manifestations, obstetric problems in a future pregnancy and birth, and maybe subfertility are linked to thin RMT and a niche. Objective: To ascertain if double-layer unlocked closure of the uterus is better than single-layer one in terms of post-menstrual spotting and niche development following a first CS. Patients and Methods: In this randomized clinical study, 287 patients were evaluated for qualifying. Of all eligible individuals, 57 patients were excluded from the study based on the inclusion criteria. Results: The variation in ages, gestational age, body mass index (BMI), and cesarean section indications between the two assigned groups is statistically insignificant. However, postmenstrual spotting was statistically significantly more common in single-layer group compared to in double-group. The current study revealed ultrasound findings suggestive of niche formation was statistically significantly more common in single-layer group compared to in double-layer group. Conclusion: As evident from the current study, it demonstrates the advantages of double-layer unlocked closure of the uterus over single-layer one in terms of post-menstrual spotting and niche development following first-time cs. Thus, we deduced that fewer niches are formed, and fewer menstrual spotting occurs in the presence of double unlocked layers closure. To ascertain the impact of uterus closure method on post-operative niche development and the risk of obstetrics and gynaecological problems, further prospective trials with extended follow-up periods are required.

Treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding in left ventricular assist devices:A comprehensive review

Left ventricular assist devices(LVAD)are increasingly become common as life prolonging therapy in patients with advanced heart failure.Current devices are now used as definitive treatment in some patients given the improved durability of continuous flow pumps.Unfortunately,continuous flow LVADs are fraught with complications such as gastrointestinal(GI)bleeding that are primarily attributed to the formation of arteriovenous malformations.With frequent GI bleeding,antiplatelet and anticoagulation therapies are usually discontinued increasing the risk of life-threatening events.Small bowel bleeds account for 15%as the source and patients often undergo multiple endoscopic procedures.Treatment strategies include resuscitative measures and endoscopic therapies.Medical treatment is with octreotide.Novel treatment options include thalidomide,angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensinⅡreceptor blockers,estrogen-based hormonal therapies,doxycycline,desmopressin and bevacizumab.Current research has explored the mechanism of frequent GI bleeds in this population,including destruction of von Willebrand factor,upregulation of tissue factor,vascular endothelial growth factor,tumor necrosis factor-α,tumor growth factor-β,and angiopoetin-2,and downregulation of angiopoetin-1.In addition,healthcare resource utilization is only increasing in this patient population with higher admissions,readmissions,blood product utilization,and endoscopy.While some of the novel endoscopic and medical therapies for LVAD bleeds are still in their development stages,these tools will yet be crucial as the number of LVAD placements will likely only increase in the coming years.

Fabrication of Fuze Micro-electro-mechanical System Safety Device

Fuze micro-electro-mechanical system（MEMS） has become a popular subject in recent years.Studies have been done for the application of MEMS-based fuze safety and arm devices.The existing researches mainly focused on reducing the cost and volume of the fuze safety device.The reduction in volume allows more payload and,thus,makes small-caliber rounds more effective and the weapon system more affordable.At present,MEMS-based fuze safety devices are fabricated mainly by using deep reactive ion ething or LIGA technology,and the fabrication process research on the fuze MEMS safety device is in the exploring stage.In this paper,a new micro fabrication method of metal-based fuze MEMS safety device is presented based on ultra violet（UV）-LIGA technology.The method consists of SU-8 thick photoresist lithography process,micro electroforming process,no back plate growing process,and SU-8 photoresist sacrificial layer process.Three kinds of double-layer moveable metal devices have been fabricated on metal substrates directly with the method.Because UV-LIGA technology and no back plate growing technology are introduced,the production cycle is shortened and the cost is reduced.The smallest dimension of the devices is 40 μm,which meets the requirement of size.To evaluate the adhesion property between electroforming deposit layer and substrate qualitatively,the impact experiments have been done on the device samples.The experimental result shows that the samples are still in good condition and workable after undergoing impact pulses with 20 kg peak and 150 μs duration and completely met the requirement of strength.The presented fabrication method provides a new option for the development of MEMS fuze and is helpful for the fabrication of similar kinds of micro devices.

Enteroscopy, defined as direct visualization of the smallbowel with the use of a fiberoptic or capsule endoscopy, has progressed considerably over the past severalyears. The need for endoscopic access to improvediagnosis and treatment of small bowel disease hasled to the development of novel technologies one ofwhich is noninvasive, the video capsule, and a type of invasive technique, the deviceassisted enteroscopy.In particular, the device-assisted enteroscopy consiststhen of three different types of instruments all able toallow, in skilled hands, to display partially or throug-hout its extension (if necessary) the small intestine.Newer devices, double balloon, single balloon and spiral endoscopy, are just entering clinical use. The aim of this article is to review recent advances in small bowelenteroscopy, focusing on indications, modifications toimprove imaging and techniques, pitfalls, and clinical applications of the new instruments. With new technologies, the trials and tribulations of learning new endo-scopic skills and determining their role in the diagnosisand treatment of small bowel disease come. Identification of small bowel lesions has dramatically improved.Studies are underway to determine the best strategy toapply new enteroscopy technologies for the diagnosisand management of small bowel disease, particularly obscure bleeding. Vascular malformations such as angiectasis and small bowel neoplasms as adenocar cinomaor gas trointestinal stromal tumors. Complete entero-scopy of the small bowel is now possible. However, because of the length of the small bowel, endoscopic examination and the rapeutic maneuvers require significant skill, radiological assistance, the use of deep sedation with the assistance of the anesthetist. Prospective ran-domized studies are needed to guide diagnostic testing and the rapy with these new endoscopic techniques.

Design of an Ultrafast Frequency Doubling Photonic Device

Ultrashort pulses complicate the frequency conversion in a nonlinear crystal, where group velocity mismatch becomes the main obstacle due to dispersion. We present a design for group velocity compensated second harmonic generation in a modulated nonlinear structure, embedded in a liquid crystal box. In this structure, nonlinear crystals act as sources of signal and liquid crystals compensate for group velocity mismatch originating from nonlinear crystals. There are the advantages of the flexible, controllable birefringence of liquid crystals. Meanwhile, a method calculating the parameters of this type of structure is presented. To make it clear, an example is provided. Furthermore, the structure can also be shaped as a waveguide to support integration into other optical devices, applicable to all-optical processing systems.
