Abstract

A study seeks to assess the efficacy of endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for treating varicose veins with saphenous reflux. Results indicate that EVLT effectively controls saphenous reflux, with its major advantages being that it is performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia with immediate mobilization, causes minimal disruption of activities, and avoids surgical trauma.

Abstract

The review paper is a staple of medical literature and, when well executed by an expert in the field, can provide a summary of literature that generates useful recommendations and new conceptualizations of a topic. However, if research results are selectively chosen, a review has the potential to create a convincing argument for a faulty hypothesis. Improper correlation or extrapolation of data can result in dangerously flawed conclusions. The following paper seeks to illustrate this point, using existing research to argue the hypothesis that cigarette smoking enhances endurance performance and should be incorporated into high-level training programs., Performances in endurance sports have been shrouded in controversy for the past 30 years because many athletes, intent on winning races and achieving faster times, have turned to banned performance-enhancing [...]

Abstract

Background: The Australian Safety and Efficacy Register for New Interventional Procedures – Surgical (ASERNIP-S) was contracted by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Aged Care to audit the procedure of endoluminal repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm. The purpose of the audit was to examine the safety and efficacy of the endoluminal graft (ELG) and, where possible, compare it to the open procedure. The first 12 months of data collection has now been completed. An overview of these results and some of the problems associated with the establishment of this audit are given. Methods: The administrative infrastructure to support the audit is based at the ASERNIP-S office in Adelaide. To achieve high compliance rates, regular contact was maintained with surgeons. A reference group of senior vascular surgeons was established to provide expert support to the audit. Results: By December 2000, ASERNIP-S had collected data on approximately 85% of privately performed ELG procedures during the first year of the audit. The early mortality rate was 1.3% in the endoluminal group compared to 2.6% in the open group. The rate of procedural complications was 15% in both groups, but the percentage of systemic complications was higher following the open repair. Aneurysm size and the number of pre-existing conditions had a statistically significant relationship to the variation in the number of complications for ELG patients. Conclusions: Good compliance has been obtained from vascular surgeons for submission of the operative data sets. ASERNIP-S aims to follow this group of patients closely to assess the medium to long-term durability of this procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
