  • open mr imaging of the unstable shoulder in the apprehension test Position Description and evaluation of an alternative mr examination Position
    European Radiology, 1999
    Co-Authors: G Wintzell, Y Haglundakerlind, H Larsson, K Zyto, Sune Larsson
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to describe and evaluate an alternative MR assessment procedure for analysis of unstable shoulders. Twelve patients with unilateral recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation had both shoulders examined. Magnetic resonance imaging was performed with an open-MR system in the apprehension Position with the shoulder in 90 ° of abduction and maximum tolerable external rotation. Contrast enhancement was achieved with intravenous gadolinium. Correlations were made to the findings at operation. In 10 of 12 unstable shoulders the inferior glenohumeral ligament labral complex (IGHLLC) was detached from the glenoid as seen on MR and later verified during surgery. In one shoulder MR was unable to show a capsulolabral detachment that was verified at surgery, whereas in one shoulder both MR and surgical assessment revealed no soft tissue detachment (accuracy 92 %). A Hill-Sachs lesion was visualized and verified in all unstable shoulders, whereas the stable controls revealed normal IGHLLC and no Hill-Sachs lesion. Open-MRI evaluation of the shoulder in the apprehension test Position may become a useful tool for the evaluation of anterior shoulder instability.

  • Off-Pump Pulmonary Valve Implantation of a Valved Stent With an Anchoring Mechanism
    The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 2009
    Co-Authors: Guo-wei Meng, Zhou Jianye, Yue Tang, Yan Zhang, Guang-mao Liu
    Abstract:

    Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the longitudinal performance and anti-migration effect of a bovine valved stent equipped with an anchoring mechanism implanted off-pump in the pulmonary Position. Description Through a delivery system, the bell-shaped pulmonary valved stents were implanted off-pump in the pulmonary valve Position into six sheep by the transventricular approach. Hemodynamic, angiographic, and echocardiographic evaluations were carried out before, immediately after, and 2 months after implantation. Macroscopic and radiographic examination were performed for evaluation. Evaluation The valved stents were all successfully implanted off-pump in the pulmonary Position on six sheep. Early and late angiographic, echocardiographic, hemodynamic, and macroscopic studies confirmed firm anchoring and good Positions of the stents. All valved stents were potent, except one mild stenosis with a 24 mm Hg transvalvular pressure gradient that developed and one mild insufficiency that were discovered at the end of the study. Conclusions Transventricular implantation of the bell-shaped pulmonary valved stents was evaluated during a 2-month period in the sheep in the present study and showed a good structural and functional outcome with no migration.

  • A developmental evaluation process for nurses: enhancing professional excellence.
    The Journal of nursing administration, 1999
    Co-Authors: Brenda Barnes, Sheila Leis, Joan Modelewski Brammer, Tammy J. Gustin, Therese C. Lupo
    Abstract:

    Healthcare organizations are challenged to provide an environment that enhances professional growth. Miami Valley Hospital responded by examining its evaluation system for clinical nurses and designing a developmental evaluation process. The result is an objective Position Description outlining global responsibilities of a nurse and a comprehensive, unit-specific assessment of performance. As nurses are guided and nurtured in their development, the opportunities for them to excel are unlimited.
