    Objective: This is a prospective evaluation of chest wall integrity and pulmonary function in patients with operative stabilisation for flail chest injuries. Methods: From 1990 to 1999, 66 patients (56 men, 10 women; mean age 52.6 years) with antero-lateral flail chest (≧4 ribs fractured at ≧2 sites) underwent surgical stabilisation using reconstruction plates. Clinical assessment and pulmonary function testing were performed at 6 months following surgery. Results: Fifty-five (83%) patients had various combinations of injuries of the thorax, head, abdomen and extremities. Sixty-three (95.5%) patients underwent unilateral and 3 (4.5%) patients bilateral stabilisation with a median delay of 2.8 days (range 0-21 days) from admission. The 30-day mortality was 11% (seven of 66 patients). Immediate postoperative extubation was feasible in 31 of 66 patients (47%) and extubation within 7 days following stabilisation in 56 of 66 patients (85%). No plate dislocation was observed during the follow-up. The shoulder girdle function was intact in 51 of 57 patients (90%). Chest wall complaints were noted in 6 of 57 (11%) patients, requiring removal of implants in three cases. All patients returned to work within a mean period of 8 (range 3-16) weeks following discharge. Pulmonary function testing (n=50) at 6 months after the operation revealed a significant difference of predicted vs. recorded vital capacity (VC) and forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) (P=0.04 and P=0.0001, respectively; Wilcoxon signed-rank test). The median ratio of the recorded and predicted total lung capacity (TLC) was shown to be significantly higher than 0.85 (P=0.0002; Wilcoxon signed-rank test), indicating prevention of pulmonary restriction. Conclusion: Antero-lateral flail chest injuries accompanied by respiratory insufficiency can be effectively stabilised using reconstruction plates. Early restoration of the chest wall integrity and respiratory pump function may be cost effective through the prevention of prolonged mechanical ventilation and restriction-related working incapacit

    KEWENANGAN HAKIM DALAM PENILAIAN ASPEK FORMIL DAN MATERIIL DALAM PEMERIKSAAN PRAPERADILAN TERHADAP SAH ATAU TIDAKNYA PENETAPAN TERSANGKA (STUDI PUTUSAN NOMOR 5/PID.PRAP/2018/PN SMG.)

    Penelitian dengan judul Kewenangan Hakim dalam Penilaian Aspek Formil dan Materiil dalam Pemeriksaan Praperadilan terhadap Sah atau Tidaknya Penetapan Tersangka (Studi Putusan Nomor 5/Pid.Prap/2018/PN Smg.) bertujuan untuk mengetahui kewenangan Hakim menilai sah atau tidaknya penetapan tersangka dari aspek materiil dalam kasus praperadilan dan mengetahui penilaian dari aspek formil dan aspek materiil dalam pemeriksaan terhadap sah atau tidaknya penetapan tersangka yang dilakukan oleh Hakim praperadilan dalam Putusan Pengadilan Negeri Semarang Nomor 5/Pid.Prap/2018/PN Smg dalam perspektif Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 4 Tahun 2016 tentang Larangan Peninjauan Kembali Putusan Praperadilan. Metode pendekatan yang digunakan adalah yuridis normatif berupa judicial case study. Spesifikasi penelitian adalah deskriptif analitis. Objek penelitian adalah seluruh informasi terkait kewenangan Hakim praperadilan dalam menilai kasus praperadilan (berdasaran studi putusan Nomor 5/Pid.Pra/2018/PN Smg) dari aspek formil dan aspek materiil yang sejauh pengetahuan Penulis tidak diatur dalam Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 4 Tahun 2016 tentang Larangan Peninjauan Kembali Putusan Praperadilan. Data primer dan sekunder diperoleh dari studi lapangan dan studi kepustakaan. Berdasarkan analisa kualitatif diketahui bahwa pemeriksaan praperadilan terhadap sah atau tidaknya penetapan tersangka dari aspek materiil merupakan penilaian terhadap ada tidaknya relevansi yuridis antara tindak pidana yang terjadi dengan seseorang yang ditetap penyidik sebagai tersangka dalam tindak pidana yang terjadi melalui alat-alat bukti yang diperoleh penyidik dan tidak memasuki pemeriksaan pokok perkara, sehingga termasuk dalam kewenangan Hakim dan tidak melanggar ketentuan pemeriksaan praperadilan terhadap sah atau tidaknya penetapan tersangka dalam Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 4 Tahun 2016 tentang Larangan Peninjauan Kembali Putusan Praperadilan. Pengujian keabsahan penetapan tersangka, selain didasarkan pada pengujian kuantitas alat bukti sebagaimana menjadi syarat formil yang ditetapkan dalam Peraturan Mahkamah Agung Republik Indonesia Nomor 4 Tahun 2016 tentang Larangan Peninjauan Kembali Putusan Praperadilan, harus juga didasarkan pada penilaian kualitas alat bukti yang diajukan oleh penyidik, atau dalam kalimat lain diperlukan pemeriksaan substansial terhadap syarat formil permohonan praperadilan terkait penetapan tersangka. Demikian pemeriksaan praperadilan terhadap keabsahan penetapan tersangka tidak terjebak hanya pada hal-hal yang bersifat formal dan sebatas masalah administrasi sehingga jauh dari hakikat keberadaan pranata praperadilan sebagai bentuk pengawasan dan mekanisme keberatan terhadap proses penegakan hukum yang berkaitan erat dengan jaminan perlindungan hak asasi manusia

    Photodynamic therapy as adjuvant therapy in surgically treated pleural malignancies.

    Five patients with a pleural malignancy (four malignant mesotheliomas and one localized low grade carcinoid) were treated with maximal surgical resection of the tumour followed by intraoperative adjuvant photodynamic therapy (PDT). The additional photodynamic treatment was performed with light of 652 nm from a high power diode laser, and meta-tetrahydroxy phenylchlorin as the photosensitizer. The light delivery to the thoracic cavity was monitored by in situ isotropic light detectors. The position of the light delivery fibre was adjusted to achieve optimal light distribution, taking account of reflected and scattered light in this hollow cavity. There was no 30-day post-operative mortality and only one patient suffered from a major complication (diaphragmatic rupture and haematopericardium). The operation time was increased by a maximum of 1 h to illuminate the total hemithoracic surface with 10 J cm(-2) (incident and scattered light). The effect of the adjuvant PDT was monitored by examination of biopsies taken 24 h after surgery under thoracoscopic guidance. Significant damage, including necrosis, was observed in the marker lesions with remaining malignancy compared with normal tissue samples, which showed only an infiltration with PMN cells and oedema of the striated muscles cells. Of the five patients treated, four are alive with no signs of recurrent tumour with a follow-up of 9-11 months. One patient was diagnosed as having a tumour dissemination in the skin around the thoracoscopy scar and died of abdominal tumour spread. Light delivery to large surfaces for adjuvant PDT is feasible in a relatively short period of time (< 1 h). In situ dosimetry ensures optimal light distribution and allows total doses (incident plus scattered light) to be monitored at different positions within the cavity. This combination of light delivery and dosimetry is well suited for adjuvant treatment with PDT in malignant pleural tumours

    Se describen los métodos de muestreo, los umbrales de tolerancia y los métodos de control utilizados en un programa de control integrado de plagas de manzano basado en el control biológico de Panonychus ulmi Koch mediante Amblyseius andersoni Chant y en el empleo de productos selectivos cuando existen, contra el resto de las plagas, en Lleida. El programa se ha llevado a cabo en 6 fincas en las campañas 1989-90 y 1990-91. Sólo en un caso no se produjo control biológico de P. ulmi, siendo necesario un tratamiento acaricida. En general, los métodos de control del resto de las plagas han funcionado correctamente, aunque en algunos casos son tácticas conservadoras. Se discuten finalmente los distintos componentes del programa de control integrado y se señalan los objetivos del plan de trabajo futuro.The sampling techniques, economic thresholds and control methods used in an IPM program for apples at Lleida (NE of Spain) based on the biological control of Panonychus ulmi Koch by means of Amblyseius andersoni Chant and the application of selective agrochemicals, when available, against other pests are described. The program was applied in six orchards in 1989-90 and in four orchards in 1990-91. Only one acaricide treatment was neccesary one year in one orchard, biological control being successfull otherwise. In general, control techniques worked well, although sometimes the strategies are not enough selectives. The different components of the IPM program are discussed and the goals of future research, outlined
