Yläraajan leikkaukset paikallispuudutuksessa ilman verityhjiötä

Käden WALANT (Wide-awake, local anesthesia, no tourniquet) eli suomeksi HEIPPA (Hereillä, Ilman verityhjiötä, Puudutus Paikallisesti) -leikkaustekniikan perusta on paikallisesti tai sormen johtopuudutuksessa annettavaan puudutteeseen liitetty adrenaliiniadjuvantti. Adrenaliiniadjuvantin käyttö sormen johtopuudutuksessa on todettu turvalliseksi. Paikallispuudutetoimenpiteiden aiheet ovat viime vuosikymmenenä laajentuneet käsikirurgian alalla. Tavallisimpia elektiivisiä paikallispuudutustoimenpiteitä ovat kroonisen rannekanavaoireyhtymän ja napsusormen leikkaushoito. Sormien, kämmenluiden ja jopa distaalisten värttinäluumurtumien leikkaushoito voidaan tehdä paikallispuudutuksessa. Jännevammojen leikkauksen yhteydessä paikallispuudutuksen etuna on mahdollisuus jännesauman välittömään toiminnalliseen testaukseen potilaan liikutellessa sormeaan. Paikallispuudutuksella voidaan välttää laajemmasta anestesiasta aiheutuvia haittoja, parantaa potilaskokemusta ja säästää kuluja

Studies on solid state reactions of atomic layer deposited thin films of lithium carbonate with hafnia and zirconia

In this paper, results on the solid state reactions of atomic layer deposited Li2CO3 with HfO2 and ZrO2 are reported. An Li2CO3 film was deposited on top of hafnia and zirconia, and the stacks were annealed at various temperatures in air to remove the carbonate and facilitate lithium diffusion into the oxides. It was found that Li+ ions are mobile in hafnia and zirconia at high temperatures, diffusing to the film-substrate interface and forming silicates with the Si substrate during heating. Based on grazing incidence x-ray diffraction experiments, no changes in the oxide phases take place during this process. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images reveal that some surface defects are formed on the transition metal oxide surfaces during lithium diffusion. The authors also show that lithium can diffuse through hafnia and react with a potential lithiumion battery electrode material TiO2 residing below the HfO2 layer, forming Li2TiO3.

Scaling of interfaces in brittle fracture and perfect plasticity

The roughness properties of two-dimensional fracture surfaces as created by the slow failure of random fuse networks are considered and compared to yield surfaces of perfect plasticity with similar disorder. By studying systems up to a linear size L=350 it is found that in the cases studied the fracture surfaces exhibit self-affine scaling with a roughness exponent close to 2/3, which is asymptotically exactly true for plasticity though finite-size effects are evident for both. The overlap of yield or minimum energy and fracture surfaces with exactly the same disorder configuration is shown to be a decreasing function of the system size and to be of a rather large magnitude for all cases studied. The typical ``overlap cluster'' length between pairs of such interfaces converges to a constant with $L$ increasing.Comment: Accepted for publication in Phys. Rev.

Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis or cardiac sarcoidosis? A retrospective audit of a nationwide case series

Aims Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) and giant cell myocarditis (GCM) are inflammatory cardiomyopathies sharing histopathological and clinical features. Their differentiation is difficult and susceptible of confusion and apparent mistakes. The possibility that they represent different phenotypes of a single disease has been debated. Methods and results We made a retrospective audit of 73 cases of GCM diagnosed in Finland since the late 1980s. All available histological material was reanalyzed as were other examinations pertinent to the distinction between GCM and CS. Finding granulomas in or outside the heart was considered diagnostic of CS and exclusive of GCM. Altogether 45 of the 73 cases of GCM (62%) were reclassified as CS. In all except one case, this was based on finding sarcoid granulomas that either had been originally missed (n = 29) or misinterpreted (n = 11) or were found in additional posttransplant myocardial specimens (n = 3) or samples of extracardiac tissue (n = 1) accrued over the disease course. Supporting the reclassification, patients relocated to the CS group had less heart failure at presentation (prevalence 20% vs. 46%, P = 0.017) and better 1 year transplant-free survival (82% vs. 45%, P = 0.011) than patients considered to represent true GCM. Conclusions Recognizing granulomas in or outside the heart remains a challenge for the pathologist. Given that CS and GCM are considered distinct diseases and granulomas exclusive of GCM, many cases of GCM, if thoroughly scrutinized, may need reclassification as CS. However, whether CS and GCM are truly different entities or parts of a one-disease continuum has not yet been conclusively settled.Peer reviewe

(Invited) Photo-Assisted ALD : Process Development and Application Perspectives

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a highly versatile thin-film deposition method that is presently utilized in many steps within microelectronic process flow and is gaining more and more interest in other fields of industry as well. The prosperity of ALD originates from its capability to controllably deposit high-quality films uniformly and conformally over large areas and complicated features. However, one of the main challenges of ALD, lateral control of film growth, stems from these same properties. Selective-area ALD (S-ALD) is presently a subject of intense research and development work as the targeted feature sizes in the semiconductor applications have reduced to a level exceeding the capabilities of lithography methods. Photo-assisted ALD (Photo-ALD) is a less-studied approach to facilitate S-ALD and selection of materials accessible with Photo-ALD is scarce. The present paper contributes to this field by reporting studies on Photo-ALD processes for metal oxides and metals.Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a highly versatile thin-film deposition method that is presently utilized in many steps within microelectronic process flow and is gaining more and more interest in other fields of industry as well.

Atomic layer deposition of lanthanum oxide with heteroleptic cyclopentadienyl-amidinate lanthanum precursor - Effect of the oxygen source on the film growth and properties

La2O3 thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition from a liquid heteroleptic La precursor, La(iPrCp)2(iPr-amd), with either water, ozone, ethanol, or both water and ozone (separated by a purge) as the oxygen source. The effect of the oxygen source on the film growth rate and properties such as crystallinity and impurities was studied. Saturation of the growth rate was achieved at 225 °C with O3 as the oxygen source. With water, very long purge times were used due to the hygroscopicity of La2O3 but saturation of the growth rate was not achieved. Interestingly, when an O3 pulse was added after the water pulse with a purge in between, the growth rate decreased and the growth saturated at 200 °C. With ethanol lanthanum hydroxide was formed instead of La2O3 at 200–275 °C whereas hexagonal La2O3 films were obtained at 300 °C but the growth was not saturative. Using the separate pulses of water and ozone in the same deposition provided the best results from the four studied deposition processes. After annealing the films deposited with the La(iPrCp)2(iPrAMD)/H2O/O3 process showed pure hexagonal phase in all the films regardless of the deposition temperature, whereas mixtures of cubic and hexagonal La2O3 were seen with the other processes.Peer reviewe
