The Efficiacy of Sternocleidomastoid Muscle Flap on Frey’s Syndrome via a Novel Test: Galvanic Skin Response
Mon, 30 Jan 2012 16:06:38 +0100 | Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery
Abstract  The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle flap on preventing Frey’s syndrome by using, Galvanic skin responses (GSR). Fourty-three patients who underwent superficial parotidectomy were randomly divided into two groups and their GSR were recorded. SCM muscle flap was applied over the surgical area only in one group. Six months after the surgery, GSRs were remeasured. In addition, the patients completed a questionnaire regarding their complaints about clinical Frey’s syndrome. Four patients had symptoms of clinical Frey’s syndrome. Postoperative GSR measurements revealed no significant difference between two sides in flap group (p = 0.426) but higher in without flap group (p = 0.003). The patients ...

Calcaneal osteomyelitis due to Achromobacter xylosoxidans: a case report
Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:32:02 +0100 | Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy
Abstract   Achromobacter xylosoxidans (A. xylosoxidans) has been described as an opportunistic pathogen causing infection. The case we describe is that of an elderly man who had osteomyelitis of calcaneal bone caused by A. xylosoxidans. As far as we are aware there are only 5 cases of osteomyelitis with A. xylosoxidans in the literature. Impaired defensive mechanism of the foot in direct contact with this waterborne bacterium can cause this disease. Because of the high level of antibiotic resistance of this bacterium, clinically more attention should be paid to patients who have impaired defensive mechanisms in their extremities, for example free flaps.

Mental health support helping earthquake survivors cope
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 21:55:00 +0100 | MSF News
Children are back at school and shops and markets are open again. Three months after two earthquakes hit Van province, eastern Turkey, survivors are trying to get back to normality. But most people are still living in tents or metal containers, and it is difficult for them to recover from their traumatic experiences. Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), in collaboration with the Turkish organization Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly (hCa), is helping people to cope through a mental health program. “People have the normal stress reaction: nightmares, loss of appetite, sleep problems or even insomnia. They feel helpless, they are afraid to die, some cannot even recognize their village,” says Maria Palha, an MSF psychologist working in Van. “First they were reluctant to come to our mental he...

Phrenic neuropathy in diabetic and prediabetic patients without neuromuscular complaint
Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:56:01 +0100 | Acta Diabetologica
Abstract  Neuropathy, one of the major reasons of morbidity in diabetes mellitus (DM), is associated with prediabetic conditions as well as DM. The present study aims to compare phrenic and peripheral nerves in prediabetic, diabetic patients and healthy controls. A total of 37 diabetic, 40 prediabetic patients and 18 healthy controls were enrolled in the study. All subjects underwent conventional sensory and motor nerve conduction studies. Bilateral phrenic and peripheric nerve conduction studies were performed. In both right and left phrenic nerves, the amplitudes were lower in prediabetic and diabetic patients than control subjects, respectively (p: 0.005 and p: 0.001). Both of the phrenic nerve conductions were altered similarly. The results of our study demonstrate that ...
