7. "PACK" WIRING OF AORTIC ANEURYSM.

Abstract

A case is presented wherein a loop of wire, during ‘pack’ wiring of a rupturing abdominal aortic aneurysm, ascended the aorta, passed through the aortic valve, and entered the left ventricle of the heart. The patient tolerated this complication without apparent ill effect and remains free of back pain eighteen months after wiring. Two similar cases are cited in which distal abdominal rather than proximal thoracic aneurysms were being wired. Less fortunate outcomes, with cardiac arrest during operation are altogether possible. Suggestions are made for dealing with this contingency, and a simple maneuver is offered to prevent proximal migratory ascent during ‘pack’ wiring of abdominal aortic aneurysms.

10. The results of surgery for low back and leg pain due to presumptive prolapsed intervertebral disc.

Abstract

Fifty-six patients who had undergone fifty-seven operations for low back and leg pain thought to be associated with a prolapsed intervertebral disc have been reviewed. Forty-two had only mild residual signs and symptoms or none at all. The patients selected for surgery were those with intractable signs and symptoms which had not improved with conservative treatment, and some were chronic low back invalids. Myelography is a desirable adjunct in some patients when localization or diagnosis is in doubt. In addition to the forty-two patients who had a successful outcome, five patients were improved and five who eventually had recurrences were successful at first. The figures therefore show that some measure of relief resulted from fifty-two out of fifty-seven operations performed. The results of operation for carefully selected patients with presumptive prolapsed lumbar intervertebral disc are good. The operation is expected to relieve leg pain but more than half the patients will continue to have some discomfort or paraesthesiae. More relief from backache occurs than might be expected in view of the pathology and nature of the surgical procedure. Most patients can return to their former occupation even though arduous. Those accustomed to wear low back supports for years are able to stop doing so after surgery. A small proportion of patients with initial successful results develop recurrence of back and leg symptoms. Most subside with conservative treatment and may arise from rupture of adhesions but re-exploration is sometimes necessary. The results after the fenestration operation were not convincingly superior to those after laminectomy. Bearing in mind that the fenestration procedure was usually done on those with clear-cut signs and positive localization, it does not appear that there is anything to be gained by doing this rather more difficult operation.

Subjects

Abstract

The article focuses on the back pain experienced by 50-year-old businessmen in the U.S. Low back pain is usually caused by strained ligaments in the spine, which is made worse by weak back muscles, degeneration of discs and joints and ailments in prostate, kidney and bladder. Meanwhile, upper back pain may indicate heart or lung disease. Visiting a regular doctor and allowing him to screen out and treat the usual causes is recommended. Therapy may include using a heat pad or an operation. A simple routine of brisk walking may result to stronger back.

Abstract

The article discusses the book "Enjoyment of Living," by Max Eastman.

Now he sees his many afflictions as psychosomatic.

Abstract

The article presents various unusual diseases tend to appear in crops. A case study of a 12-years-old boy from a rural community who had been brought to the hospital because of progressive pain in the back and extremities for the past 18 months, leading ultimately to complete generalized weakness. At the hospital it was obvious that he was suffering from a severe form of rickets. His nutritional history was poor and suggested the possibility of vitamin D deficiency. A 29-year-old young woman, after returning from a seashore vacation, began to have difficulty in manipulating objects and carrying out such responsibilities as dressing herself and handling various instruments and objects. Later, while trying to give injections, she would often drop syringes and needles. She continued to work because of necessity, but her condition was deteriorating progressively with more neuromuscular incoordination, and the head was gradually tilting posteriorly. When looked for, the pathognomonic sign of Wilson's disease was indeed found in both instances, namely, the presence of Kayser-Eleisher rings.

Abstract

This paper aims to analyze the association between work burden and backache among women and men. The study design is descriptive cross sectional. Thirty two households are selected. From each of the households sample size of 64 in terms of a pair of either married couple or the unmarried sister and brother are selected. Respondent's age is between 15 to 49 years. Semi structured questionnaire is used to collect data. This study shows significant differences in working hour between male and female. The working hour is significantly higher among the persons with backache. Gender inequality is a stark reality. The gender division of labour may add more work to women resulting into longer working hour for women. This may reflect in some health hazards among women. Hence, more focused attention is needed to understand the non reproductive health problems of women. Keywords: working hour; backache; women empowerment; health problem; health seeking behaviour DOI: 10.3126/dsaj.v4i0.4523 Dhaulagiri Journal of Sociology and Anthropology Vol.4 2010 pp.235-246
