    Abstract Background: As the number of cases with artificial pulmonary valve implantation increases for congenital heart disease, the number of young adults with artificial pulmonary valves has also increased.
    Methods: From 2000 to 2007, 146 artificial valves, such as the Carpentier-Edward Perimount, Hancock II, Biocor, homograft and hand-made valves were implanted for pulmonary valve in 132 patients with various forms of congenital heart disease. Among them, the outcomes of the Carpentier-Edward Perimount (n=63) and the Hancock II (n=40) valves were reviewed retrospectively. The mean age at initial implantation was 12.8+/-6.6 years. The overall duration of follow up was 36.0+/-24.2 months.
    Results: There was an early death due to right ventricular failure with intractable ventricular arrhythmia and 3 late deaths due to progressive right ventricular failure, dilated cardiomyopathy and infective endocarditis. The overall survival and re-operation free rate was 96.3% and 89.8% respectively. Eight out of 63 Carpentier-Edward patients (12.6%) underwent re-replacement at 49.2+/-25.2 months. The re-operation free rates were 97.7%, 87.7% and 50% at 1, 3 and 5 years respectively. There was no re-operation required for the 40 Hancock II patients over 18.0+/-10.8 months. There was no statistical significance in the re-operation free rates between these 2 valves (p-value=0.51).
    Conclusions: The overall survival rate associated with pulmonary valve bioprosthetic valve implantation was acceptable. However, the re-operation freedom rate was not satisfactory at mid-term for the Carpentier-Edward.

  3. Article: Re-hospitalizations after myocardial infarction on Prince Edward Island: analysis of the reasons.

    Abstract In the province of Prince Edward Island (PEI), which has a small homogeneous population of approximately 140,000 people, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death accounting for 37% of the total deaths. Next to Newfoundland, this province ranks second highest in Canada for its incidence of cardiovascular disease. This high incidence of cardiovascular disease in this population has been attributed to smoking, physical inactivity, hypertension and obesity. In examining provincial comparisons across Canada, PEI has the highest proportion of physically inactive adults at 68%. PEI has the second highest proportion of adults, 15 years and older, who are daily or occasional smokers at 65% and who have high blood pressure at 12%. PEI has the third highest proportion of adults who are overweight. At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Charlottetown, PEI, where the researcher has conducted her study, during the period of January 1997 and December 1997, 192 patients were admitted with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The average length of stay in hospital for these patients was 10.3 days. This is high compared to the national average of 6.6 days in hospital. During a one year period, 111 of these 192 patients were re-admitted to hospital with a related cardiovascular diagnosis. This equates to a 57.8% readmission rate for post MI patients. These re-hospitalizations are both costly to health care and disruptive to the quality of life of the individual and his or her family. There is evidence that a portion, approximately 50% of these re-hospitalizations, are due mainly to psychosocial factors and not to unavoidable clinical reasons. A cross-sectional design representing this one year period was used in a chart audit with an analysis done to determine factors associated with re-hospitalization of post MI patients. This article will offer insight regarding the results of this analysis as well as future recommendations for patients being discharged home follow an AMI. The significance of the research lies in its collection of data focusing on behaviors and attitudes around cardiovascular risk factor modification which will enable effective planning and evaluation of health promotion programs, policies, and legislation.

    Abstract Objective: To assess food consumption among aboriginal children living on Mi'kmaq reserves in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
    Design: Data were collected as part of a larger study of health perceptions and behaviors in Mi'kmaq children and youth ages 1 to 18 years. Food consumption was assessed using a self-administered food frequency questionnaire during an in-home interview.
    Subjects/setting: Fifty-five children living on a reserve (53% of total population) ages 9 to 18 years.
    Statistical analyses performed: The number of servings of milk products, vegetables and fruit, and snack foods/beverages was calculated by adding the responses to the frequency of consumption of foods assessed in each group. chi(2) analysis was used to assess differences in food consumption according to sex and age.
    Results: Only one child reported consuming the recommended minimum of five vegetables and fruit daily (Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating, 1992) (mean [+/-standard deviation]=2.8+/-1.1 servings). Twenty-five (49%) of the children consumed three or more servings of milk products daily (mean=2.6+/-1.3 servings). Approximately half of the children had three or more snack foods/beverages daily (mean=3.1+/-2.2 servings). Younger children (grades 4 to 6) consumed more cereal, peanut butter, and yogurt than older children. There were no significant differences in food consumption between boys and girls.
    Conclusions: Our findings are consistent with past reports in aboriginal children. However, except for higher consumption of french fries, results are similar to recent surveys of other Prince Edward Island school children, suggesting a province-wide rather than cultural health issue.

    Abstract This practical guide to the use of radiotherapy for the treatment of sarcomas and skin cancers covers a wide range of disease scenarios, identifying which treatment techniques are applicable in particular clinical circumstances. Among the conditions considered are extremity soft tissue sarcomas, retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcomas, bone sarcomas, uterine sarcomas, chordomas, pediatric sarcomas, squamous cell carcinomas, basal cell carcinomas, melanomas, Merkel cell carcinomas, and cutaneous lymphomas. Detailed attention is devoted to the issues and considerations of relevance in everyday practice when treating these diseases. The use of multiple radiotherapy techniques and procedures, including IMRT, brachytherapy, radiosurgery, and particle therapy, is fully explained, and the role of radiotherapy in combination with chemotherapy and emerging therapeutics such as immunotherapy and biologic anticancer agents is also addressed. The book will be of high value for practicing radiation oncologists, medical and surgical oncologists, medical physicists, medical dosimetrists, trainees, and other medical professionals.

    Abstract COVID-19 triggered an existential crisis for American higher education. Faced with few safe choices, most colleges and universities switched to remote learning during the 2020 spring semester. The future, however, provides more choices about how institutions can fulfill their mission of teaching and research. But how do we begin to make decisions in an uncertain and shifting environment? In this concise guide, authors Edward J. Maloney and Joshua Kim lay out clear ways colleges and universities can move forward in safe and effective ways. The Low-Density University presents fifteen scenarios for how colleges and universities can address the current crisis from a fully online semester to others with students in residence and in the classroom. How can changing the calendar or shifting to hybrid models of blended classrooms impact teaching, learning, and the college experience? Could we emerge from this crisis with new models that are better and more adapted to todays world? The Low-Density University focuses primarily on teaching and learning, but student life (housing, athletics, health, et cetera) are core to the college experience. Can we devise safe and effective ways to preserve the best of that experience? The lessons here extend beyond the classroom. Just as the pandemic will change American higher education, the choices we make now will change what college looks like for generations to come

    Abstract This paper offers a new perspective on historical understandings of the relationship between alcohol, climate and the body, by studying the way that British explorers of tropical Africa drank alcohol and wrote about drink between c.1850 and c.1910. We demonstrate that alcohol was simultaneously classified as a medicinal, a preventative and a pleasurable drink, shaped by competing medical theories, but that distinctions between these different roles were highly blurred. We also show how many explorers thought certain drinks helped to protect white bodies from the effects of tropical diseases. While popular amongst travellers, these views came under growing scrutiny in the latter part of the nineteenth century, reflecting both changing scientific views about the relationship between alcohol, climate and the body and the development of a much larger European presence in tropical Africa. However, even those who opposed tropical drinking often supported the use of other stimulants and viewed the tropics as uniquely dangerous. As such, the paper challenges the idea that the late nineteenth century marked a paradigm shift in scientific attitudes towards tropical environments, as much previous scholarship has suggested. At the same time, our examinations of explorers' descriptions of drinking by African people demonstrates how ideas about racial difference played an important role within medical understandings of alcohol. Overall, this paper examines the heterogeny of attitudes to alcohol to be found within tropical medicine and documents the continuities in approach shown between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
