    Abstract Purpose: Photo-optical TCpO2 (pTCpO2) has been proposed as a new method to determine the partial oxygen pressure of the lower extremity in patients with peripheral arterial disease. It is aimed to determine the level of agreement between pTCpO2 and the traditional electro-chemical transcutaneous oxygen tension measurement (eTCpO2).
    Methods: Eighteen patients with intermittent claudication underwent simultaneous ankle-brachial index measurement, toe-pressure, pTCpO2 and eTCpO2 tests. Oxygen tension levels were measured on anterior chest and calf prior in rest (T0), during induced ischemia (T1) and after blood flow restoration (T2). TCpO2 agreement was assessed according to the principles of Bland and Altman.
    Results: Absolute average TCpO2 values differed between eTCpO2 and pTCpO2 for calf in T2 (38,1 mmHg (σ 14,4) vs. 49,8 (σ 22.3) with P = 0.35). The Bland-Altman plots demonstrated eTCpO2 and pTCpO2 bias of 3,7 mmHg (σ 18,8), 11,6 mmHg (σ 17,6) and 6,7 mmHg (σ 23,5) for T0, T1 and T2 for the calf.
    Conclusion: pTCpO2 is in agreement with eTCpO2 in measuring pO2 levels of the lower extremity in rest and during induced ischemia in patients with vascular claudication. The large variability between eTCpO2 and pTCpO2 should be accounted for, while pTCpO2 values have a tendency to demonstrate higher values in comparison to eTCpO2.

    Abstract Flail chest after blunt trauma to the chest has a high morbidity and mortality rate. Traumatic flail chest in children rarely occurs due to flexibility of the ribcage. We describe the case of a 13-year-old boy sustaining a flail chest after a high-energy trauma. Conservative treatment with proper mechanical ventilation and pain management was unsuccessful, and was followed by operative rib fixation. The patient was discharged home 17 days after surgery and, at 4 months follow-up, had fully recovered. This case report shows the possibility of operative rib fixation as treatment for flail chest in children.

    Abstract The impact of insecticide (permethrin)-treated bed nets (ITNs) on the health of adolescent schoolgirls was investigated during a community-based, randomized, controlled trial of ITNs in western Kenya. Two school-based cross-sectional surveys were conducted to determine the prevalence of malaria and anemia in 644 schoolgirls 12-18 years old in a rural area with intense perennial malaria transmission. In 12- and 13-year-old schoolgirls, ITNs were associated with a reduced prevalence of all cause anemia (hemoglobin level <12 g/dL, 16.9% versus 31.4%, adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.21, 0.69%) and a 0.34 g/dL (95% CI = 0.02, 0.66) increase in mean hemoglobin concentrations. No beneficial effect on all-cause anemia (adjusted OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.43, 1.45) or hemoglobin concentrations (difference in mean = 0.14 g/dL, 95% CI = -0.24, 0.53) was evident in older girls. In all age groups, no effect was found on malaria parasite prevalence or density, clinical malaria, all-cause morbidity, standard measures of nutritional status and growth, or the use of antimalarials and other medications. ITNs approximately halved the prevalence of mild anemia in young, school-attending, non-pregnant, adolescent girls, but had no impact in older girls or on other malaria-associated morbidity or nutritional status.
