25. SUCCESSFUL AORTOCORONARY BYPASS SURGERY IN A PATIENT WITH CLASSICAL HEMOPHILIA A
A patient with documented Factor VIII deficiency (classical Hemophilia A) and a history of previous severe intra- and postoperative hemorrhage and transfusion reaction underwent myocardial revascularization for advanced triple vessel coronary artery occlusive disease. The coagulation status was investigated, and a replacement regimen was instituted. The surg

26. Clinical and prognostic correlates of EEG in open-heart surgery patients.
Sixty-five patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement were followed for one year by electroencephalography (EEG). Occurrence of delta or sharp wave disturbances of low frequency of dominant activity before operation was found to have prognostic significance. The degree of EEG change after operation correlated with clinical signs of cerebral involvement, a

27. The time scale of tooth development and replacement in Xenopus laevis (Daudin).
One hundred and seventy two larval specimens of Xenopus laevis were reared in such a way that their rates of development (as measured by external criteria) were similar, and so the course of dental development could be examined histologically in a cross sectional study. In this way the events of tooth development were observed, and a time scale constructed f

28. Catastrophizing and depressive symptoms as prospective predictors of outcomes following total knee replacement
Several recent reports suggest that pain-related catastrophizing is a risk factor for poor acute pain outcomes following surgical interventions. However, it has been less clear whether levels of catastrophizing influence longer-term postoperative outcomes. Data were analyzed from a relatively small number (n=43) of patients who underwent total knee replaceme

29. Valve replacement for rheumatic aortic incompetence in adolescents.
The timing of valve replacement in patients with rheumatic aortic regurgitation is assessed by balancing the mortality and complications associated with the operation and the prosthetic valves against the natural history of the lesion. The time course without surgery is determined by the severity of the volume overload and the gradual deterioration of myocar

30. Rheumatoid involvement of the aortic arch
The clinical course of rheumatoid arthritis may be complicated by cardiac involvement. Indeed, postmortem studies suggest rheumatoid involvement in up to 50% of pericardial, 5% of myocardial, and 60% of valvular specimens. Yet, in our search of the literature, we found only a single case report describing aortic valve replacement for rheumatoid valvulitis. T

31. Minimally Invasive Parasternal Approach to Tricuspid Valve Avoids Repeat Sternotomy
We report the case of a 68-year-old patient with severe tricuspid regurgitation who had previously undergone aortic valve replacement and right coronary artery bypass. We performed tricuspid valvuloplasty via the right parasternal route in order to reduce surgical trauma by avoiding resternotomy, trauma to the venous graft, and bleeding due to dissection of

32. Surgical correction of type I dissecting aortic aneurysm after renal transplantation.
While Type III dissecting aneurysms of the aorta in patients with renal transplants have been described, this report appears to represent the first successful replacement of the ascending aorta with correction of valvar aortic insufficiency in a patient with a Type I aortic dissection. The operative result and subsequent clinical course have been gratifying.

33. Aortic regurgitation in seropositive juvenile arthritis.
Seropositive juvenile chronic arthritis is a relatively uncommon form of childhood arthritis, but it often causes severe destruction of joints associated with considerable functional disability. During the last 7 years lone aortic regurgitation has been seen to develop in 4 such patients and pursue a particularly aggressive course. Sudden deterioration occur

34. Apparent recurrence of Q fever endocarditis following homograft replacement of aortic valve
A 39-year-old man with aortic stenosis and regurgitation developed Q fever endocarditis. After 15 weeks of chemotherapy with tetracycline the damaged aortic valve was replaced with a homograft. Organisms were present in the excised valve. Some months later the valve began to leak and the endocarditis recurred fatally. Because of the nature of rickettsial inf

35. A complicated case of mitral valve disease.
A patient with rheumatic mitral stenosis and previous cerebral embolism had a myocardial infarction during cardiac catheterisation. She later developed severe mitral regurgitation one year after open valvotomy and at valve replacement was found to have a papillary tumour of the mitral valve. Unexplained low cardiac output occurred four days after operation.

36. Persistence of Plasmid-Carrying Tetracycline-Resistant Escherichia coli in a Married Couple, One of Whom Was Receiving Antibiotics
This paper describes an extension to an earlier account of the coliform flora carried by a married couple, one of whom was taking tetracycline for prolonged periods. The latter phase of this study was notable for the following: first, certain tetracycline-resistant Escherichia coli O antigen types persisted in one of the participants for several weeks after
