INTRODUCTION: The aim of the study was the evaluation of the usefulness of transesophageal atrial pacing in predicting chronic oral treatment efficacy of symptomatic reciprocating supraventricular tachycardia in infants and in avoiding the risk of very dangerous recurrences at home. METHODS: We studied 13 infants (11 males, 2 females, mean age 43 +/- 31 days) with symptomatic reciprocating supraventricular tachycardia and no structural heart disease. All patients had chronic oral therapy, using the drug effective in acute i.v. somministration. Each patient was discharged when supraventricular tachycardia was not inducible with transesophageal atrial pacing after 5 half-lives of the drug used in chronic oral treatment. All patients, every 6 months, were retested with transesophageal atrial pacing alternatively during chronic oral therapy and after complete wash out. Oral therapy was stopped in each patient when supraventricular tachycardia was not inducible after the wash out. RESULTS: The number of oral treatments tested for each patient were 2 +/- 1 (range 1-5). The number of transesophageal studies performed for each patient were 4 +/- 2 (range 3-7). No patient had symptomatic episodes of supraventricular tachycardia or needed to change therapy during the follow-up. The oral treatment was stopped after the twelfth month of life in 8 patients and after the twenty-fourth in 2 others without recurrences. CONCLUSION: Transesophageal atrial pacing seems to be useful in predicting accurately and rapidly the oral treatment efficacy of supraventricular tachycardia in infants. Our protocol seems to be effective to avoid dangerous recurrences of tachycardia and to decide when we can stop therapy without risk.

Analogue implementation of a neural network controller for UPSinverter applications

An analogue neural-network controller for UPS inverter applications is presented. The proposed neural-network controller is trained off-line using patterns obtained from a simulated controller, which had an idealized load-current-reference. Simulation results show that the proposed neural-network controller can achieve low total harmonic distortion under nonlinear loading condition and good dynamic responses under transient loading condition. To verify the performance of the proposed NN controller, a hardware inverter with an analogue neural network (NN) controller (using mainly operational amplifiers and resistors) is built. Additionally, for comparison purposes, a PI controller with optimized parameters is built. Experimental results confirm the simulation results and show the superior performance of the NN controller especially under rectifier-type loading condition. Implementing the analogue neural-network controller using programmable integrated circuits is also discussed     

La?nnec, re-inventor of the stethoscope?

According to our common medical culture, some facts are simply unquestionable, for instance La?nnec invented the stethoscope. But was he the first one? On a recent trip to Egypt we visited the temple of Kom Ombo, built prior to the roman period and renowned as a medical care center. Today, the tourist is fascinated by the magnificent hieroglyphics on the well-preserved walls testifying to significant advances in various fields of medicine including ophthalmology and gynecology. We were particularly interested by the basreliefs presenting vivid drawings of some of the first medical instruments. We easily identified curettes, scissors, a balance, forceps for dental extraction, and a surgical saw, but were captivated by two other instruments. The first one looked a lot like what La?nnec invented around 1820. The second one was amazingly similar to the instrument we use everyday, with a distal opening and flexible tubes (woven papyrus?) leading to proximal ear pieces. Our Egyptian guide was formal: the stethoscope was invented in Egypt. The scientific impact of our observations leaves something to be desired, but did make us think about the huge gap between the advancement of medical knowledge in ancient Egypt and La?nnec's (re)-invention. Exposed to a similar gap in history, what would our documents stored on CD and video tapes have to say to future touring doctors?     

A reflective approach to career trajectory in advanced practice nursing

In response to a university mandate and general faculty dissatisfaction with work assignments, faculty developed a faculty work load formula. The authors discuss the development of the teaching portion of the formula. Implementation of the formula and publication of teaching work loads has resulted in greater awareness of other's responsibilities, improved faculty morale, increased accountability, and a greater sense of control. Some problem areas are also discussed.     

Determination of cisapride and norcisapride in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection

A simple, rapid and reproducible high-performance liquid chromatographic assay for cisapride and norcisapride in human plasma is described. Samples of plasma (150 microl) were extracted using a C18 solid-phase cartridge. Regenerated tubes were eluted with 1.0 ml of methanol, dried, redissolved in 150 microl of methanol and injected. Chromatography was performed at room temperature by pumping acetonitrile-methanol-0.015 M phosphate buffer pH 2.2-2.3 (680:194:126, v/v/v) at 0.8 ml/min through a C18 reversed-phase column. Cisapride, norcisapride and internal standard were detected by absorbance at 276 nm and were eluted at 4.3, 5.3 and 8.1 min, respectively. Calibration plots in plasma were linear (r>0.998) from 10 to 150 ng/ml. Intraday precisions for cisapride and norcisapride were 3.3% and 5.4%, respectively. Interday precisions for cisapride and norcisapride were 9.6% and 9.0%, respectively. Drugs used which might be coadministered were tested for interference.
