Sublingual Nitroglycerin Administration to Relieve Radial Artery Vasospasm and Retrieve Wedged Catheter: A Consideration in Neuroangiography

Background Radial artery spasm is a common hinderance during transradial approaches for neuroangiography. Ways of alleviation have been described, including patient sedation, local lidocaine, or even prophylactic administration of intra‐arterial vasodilators. Methods We present a case of a wedged catheter attributable to radial artery spasm, which failed all conventional methods to relieve spasm. Results The catheter was ultimately removed after administration of sublingual nitroglycerin. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first time sublingual nitrogen has been reported as an effective means to alleviate radial artery spasm during a transradial approach for neuroangiography.

Explaining the Experiences and Consequences of Care Among Family Caregivers of Patients with Cancer in the Terminal Phase: A Qualitative Research

Background: Cancer is a disease which affects both the patient and family members. Family caregivers of these individuals have been recognized as the undercover patients, the problems and experiences of whom should be evaluated. The present research has been aimed to provide a deep understanding of the experiences and consequences of care in family caregivers of patients with cancer in the terminal phase. Methods: The present research has been conducted by a qualitative content analysis method. The sampling method was purposeful and it was progressed until data saturation. The data were gathered through in-depth semi-structured interviews, and then, were analyzed via content analysis. Results: From the total 18 interviews, 413 initial concepts (codes) were obtained. Finally, three main concepts (categories) were extracted after data analysis, including: 1, inhibition; 2, challenges and consequences of care; and 3, supportive-palliative factors. Conclusions: According to the family caregivers’ condition in Iran, that is, caring overload, informational and emotional inhibition, and spirituality as a way of alleviation and adaptability, the emergent need for counseling and psychological-social-informational-spiritual support particular to this culture, seems to be necessary.

The effect of wear of petrol engine power brush cutters on their vibration exposure

The matter of noise and vibration exposure has an accentuated emphasis in the environmental protection policy of the European Union. In practice, the focus is on the evaluation of noise -strain. The evaluation on human beings' vibration-strain is in focus in recent years. At the Technical Department in Corvinus University of Budapest Faculty of Horticultural Sciences we evaluate in PhD training form the possible ways of alleviation and revealance of noise and vibration-strain in gardening devices and machineries. According to the latest development in gardening culture, small gardening machines are more and more widespread. There is a law in Hungary for the compulsory grass-cutting, especially on 'ragweed' (Ambrosia elatior). Along highways, public territories, parks workmen at least six months are in charge to terminate these weed-crops meanwhile they are endangered by serious harmful effects. The operators of hand-held power tools are exposed comprehensive levels of hand-arm vibration at the tool-hand interface. Many studies indicate that extended exposure to mechanical vibration can induce degeneration of the vascular and sensioneural systems in the hand called hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). The precise mechanism for the initiation and development of HAVS is unclear to date. Measurement and risk assessment of hand-transmitted vibration is mostly based on the guidelines and dose-response relationship provided in the ISO-5349 standard. These guidelines suggest that the magnitude, frequency, direction and duration of vibration exposure are the most important variables for the risk assessment of hand-arm vibration. This current study is focusing on brush cutters owned by one of the biggest caretaker company. These machines have similar brand and age but different in usage time. We inquired seven brush cutters through two years. The manufacturer repaid the vibration level of the new machines, but they doesn't examine, whether extent of the vibration emission is changing for the proper use. We wanted to know that are there any differences between the values of vibration specification after certain time of usage. Is it possible to monitor the alternate movements on graphs according to the vibration sciences? By Ill octave band frequency and FFT analysis we can point at that these brush cutters can show differences in critical frequencies. These biases can influence the hand-arm system and its vibration-strain burdening.

Methods Used and Results Obtained in Treatment of Widespread Metastases Secondary to Mammary Cancer

Physicians have long recognized the hopeless prognosis of mammary carcinoma which has metastasized widely. This point of view has, indeed, become so firmly entrenched in the minds of some of our colleagues that such patients are too often treated with sedatives and recommended for custodial care. It is our contention that often much can be done in the way of alleviation through direct irradiation of the involved parts. The improvement following such treatment may be exceptional, with the more fortunate patients restored to their usual activities for a period of years. Pfahler (1) has stated that radiation therapy has prolonged life in certain instances from one to four years. Most of the literature on the subject deals with treatment of skeletal metastases and it is, of course, the response of these bone lesions to irradiation that is most striking. Lee and Herendeen (2) in 1924 reviewed 54 cases of inoperable breast cancer, noting the symptomatic relief following irradiation of bone metastases and emphas...
