摘要：Background: Although endoscopic palliation of malignant biliary hilar obstruction is preferable to surgery or percutaneous drainage, it remains technically challenging. This is especially true when multiple self-expanding metal stents (SEMS) are placed, because difficulty is commonly encountered in passing the second SEMS at the level of the previously deployed initial stent. We have devised a method of deploying multiple metal stents by using a temporary plastic stent, which makes deployment of the second stent much easier. Methods: After guidewire placement, a plastic stent is deployed in a subhilar position. The initial SEMS is deployed, with the plastic stent maintaining a passage for the second SEMS. After the second SEMS is deployed, the plastic stent is retrieved. Observations: This technique has been used successfully in 7/8 patients, all of whom presented with symptomatic jaundice secondary to malignant hilar obstruction of various etiologies (cholangio-carcinoma, n = 4; metastatic disease, n = 3; and hepatocellular carcinoma, n = 1). Drainage was successful in all cases, with significant improvement in symptoms and cholestasis. Conclusions: This simple technique lessens the technical difficulty of placing bilateral hilar SEMS.

摘要：地点:拉丁美洲的结核病(TB)诊断实验室。目的:薄层琼脂(thin-layer agar,TLA)和罗氏培养(Lowenstein-Jensen,LJ)对结核病诊断的对比评价。设计:6个实验室Ⅱ期前瞻性研究。临床诊断的TB病人样本包括痰标本和肺外结核的标本。呼吸道标本用NaOH／NALC去污;根据推荐的操作程序对所有标本进行离心,萋尼氏法进行抗酸菌(AFB)染色,用LJ和TLA法培养检查。计算两种培养基的敏感度和似然比、生长检测时间和污染率。结果:总共研究了1118份临床标本。所有AFB阳性标本培养后均检出结核分枝杆菌,AFB阴性标本中,LJ检出率为3．2％,TLA为4．4％。TLA和LJ的敏感性分别为92．6％(95％CI:87．9-95．9)和84．7％(95％CI:78．8-89．0)。阳性和阴性LR相似。TLA和LJ的污染率分别为5．1％和3．0％。TLA和LJ对培养阳性的检出平均时间分别为11．5天(95％CI: 9．3-15．0)和30．5天(95％CI:26．9-39．0)(P<0．0001)。结论:参加研究实验室的不同特点、疾病流行情况和标本处理的不同并不影响TLA和LJ的总体效果,建议不同实验室使用这种方法,因它具有可靠性和可行性。

摘要：目的发布欧洲重症医学学会(European Society of Intensive Care Medicine, ESICM)关于神经重症监护患者液体治疗的专家共识和临床实践推荐意见。设计在2016年10月召开的ESICM LIVE 2016会议上召集了一个由22名国际专家组成的共识委员会,随后委员会成员通过电话会议和在线讨论制定本专家共识。方法回顾人群、干预、对比和结局(population, intervention,comparison, and outcomes, PICO)问题,根据需要进行更新并得到证据概要。本共识关注3个主要议题:(1)神经重症监护患者的液体复苏和维持;(2)高渗液体在颅内压控制中的应用;(3)蛛网膜下腔出血后迟发性脑缺血的液体管理。经过广泛的文献检索,应用推荐分级的评估、制订与评价(Gradingof Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation, GRADE)系统原则评估证据质量(从高到极低),制定治疗推荐(强或弱),并在适用时发布最佳实践声明。基于文献和专家意见提供的综合证据,应用改良德尔菲方法(使用序贯方法以避免偏倚和误解)产生最终共识声明。结果最终共识包含总共32条声明,其中13条为强推荐,17条为弱推荐,另外2条声明未提供推荐意见。结论我们发布了一份关于神经重症监护患者液体治疗的共识声明和临床实践推荐。
