does a Firebreak full thickness skin graft prevent recurrence after surgery for dupuytren s contracture a prospective randomised trial
Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery-british Volume, 2009Co-Authors: A S Ullah, J J Dias, B BhowalAbstract:We randomised 79 patients (84 hands, 90 fingers) with Dupuytren’s contracture of the proximal interphalangeal joint to have either a ‘Firebreak’ skin graft (39 patients, 41 hands, 44 fingers) or a fasciectomy (40 patients, 43 hands, 46 fingers) if, after full correction, the skin over the proximal phalanx could be easily closed by a Z-plasty. Patients were reviewed after three, six, 12, 24 and 36 months to note any complications, the range of movement and recurrence. Both groups were similar in regard to age, gender and factors considered to influence the outcome such as bilateral disease, family history, the presence of diabetes, smoking and alcohol intake. The degree of contracture of the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of the operated fingers was similar in the two groups and both were comparable in terms of grip strength, range of movement and disability at each follow-up. The recurrence rate was 12.2%. We did not identify any improvement in correction or recurrence of contracture after Firebreak dermofasciectomy up to three years after surgery.

Does a ‘Firebreak’ full-thickness skin graft prevent recurrence after surgery for Dupuytren’s contracture?: A PROSPECTIVE, RANDOMISED TRIAL

intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment to children iptc Firebreak or fire trap
Trends in Parasitology, 2008Co-Authors: Pierre Buffet, Valerie Briand, Laurent Renia, Marc Thellier, M Danis, Dominique MazierAbstract:Intermittent preventive treatment is the prescheduled administration of antimalarial drugs to at-risk patients in endemic areas. This approach, which is recommended for pregnant women, is being evaluated in children. Sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine recently proved to be more protective than artemisinin-containing regimens. Therefore, the use of artemisinin derivatives could potentially be restricted to symptomatic patients. Determinants of three pending issues: safety, efficacy throughout childhood, and effectiveness – the latter depending on the implementation of sustainable delivery mechanisms – are analyzed in this comment.

response to buffet et al intermittent preventive anti malarial treatment to children iptc Firebreak or fire trap
Trends in Parasitology, 2008Co-Authors: B M Greenwood, Kalifa Bojang, Daniel Chandramohan, Badara Cisse, Margaret Kweku, Paul MilliganAbstract:Buffet and colleagues have reviewed some of the potential benefits and drawbacks of intermittent preventive antimalarial treatment in children (IPTc). They acknowledge its efficacy but raise concerns about the feasibility of implementing this intervention, its safety, its impact on drug resistance, the possibility that IPTc might impair the development of naturally acquired immunity and its role in a changing environment. We believe that we can address some, although not all, of their concerns.
