Diagnóstico e conduta na ruptura traumática da aorta torácica

Denna studie görs i samarbete med ett modeföretag som ska ta fram en ny modell av sport-bh med dubbla kupstorlekar. Då företaget tidigare inte haft en liknande produkt utan bara använt sig av enkla kupstorlekar behövs en måttlista med graderingsintervaller. Dessa intervaller ska vara anpassade för denna typ av dubbla kupstorlekar. Företagets graderingsintervaller sammanställs och ett grundmönster för en bh graderas enligt detta och även efter svensk standard. För att kunna jämföra vilken gradering som passar bäst för sport-bh:n sys de graderade bh:arna upp i två olika storlekar och provas av. De dubbla kupstorlekarna jämförs med samma bh modell graderad i enkla kupstorlekar, här bedöms om passform och volym på kupan är likvärdig. Resultatet av graderingen och avprovningarna visar på att de dubbla kupstorlekarna graderade efter företagets intervaller ger bäst passform för de önskade dubbla kupstorlekarna.This study is performed in collaboration with a fashion company to develop a sports bra with double cup sizes instead of cups with single sizes. The company doesn’t have this type of product in its current line and needs a grading that is adapted for this type of cup and a measurement chart with grading intervals. Grading intervals from both the company and SIS (Swedish standard) are compared to determine which grading intervals fit this purpose best.  A bra pattern is then graded for each different interval. The two different graded bras are sewn in two different sizes each that are evaluated during a fitting session. The test person also compares the fit and size of the double cup size to a single cup size. The result of the grading and the fittings show that the grading according to the company provides the best fit for the desired double cup sizes

Gas tonometry for evaluation of gastrointestinal mucosal perfusion: experimental models of trauma, shock and complex surgical maneuvers - Part 1

Substantial clinical and animal evidences indicate that the mesenteric circulatory bed, particularly the gut mucosa, is highly vulnerable to reductions in oxygen supply and prone to early injury in the course of hemodynamic changes induced by trauma, shock, sepsis and several complex surgical maneuvers. Gut hypoxia or ischemia is one possible contributing factor to gastrointestinal tract barrier dysfunction that may be associated with the development of systemic inflammatory response and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, a common cause of death after trauma, sepsis or major surgeries. Monitoring gut perfusion during experiments may provide valuable insights over new interventions and therapies highly needed to reduce trauma and sepsis-related morbidity and mortality. We present our experience with gas tonometry as a monitor of the adequacy of gastrointestinal mucosal perfusion in clinical and experimental models of trauma, shock and surgical maneuvers associated with abrupt hemodynamic changes, such as aortic occlusion and hepatic vascular exclusion. Next issue we will be presenting our experience with gas tonometry in experimental and clinical sepsis
