Abstract
The present research is a quasi-experimental prospective study to determine usefulness of stripping the fetal memberanes at term for preventing of postterm pregnancy. 212 pregnant women with firm gestational dates entered the study, 112 underwent stripping of the membranes and 100 controls did not. The difference between the number of patients who advanced beyond term (>290 days) was statistically significant between groups (P<0.01). The mode of delivery and neonatal APGAR score were similar in both groups.

Abstract
Background: One of the most important components of coronary
artery bypass graft surgery is need for blood transfusion that increases
morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors
affecting the need for blood transfusion during off pump coronary artery bypass
(OPCAB)
surgery.
Methods: In
this descriptive case control study 923
patients who had undergone OPCAB at Afshar Hospital in Yazd,
Iran, from July 2008 to January 2010
were evaluated. The data was gathered from their records and was analyzed.
Results: 54% of
male and 79% of female patient need
blood transfusion. Mean age in patients needed transfusion was 61.58±11.11
years and in other group was 60.27±10.98
years of the patients that needed transfusion (p= 0.08). 563
(61%) of the patients needed transfusion with the
average of two units. The need for blood transfusion was higher in female
gender (p< 0.0001),
low hematocrit (p< 0.0001),
diabetes (p< 0.001),
hypertension (p< 0.025)
and multiple grafts (p< 0.027).
There were no significant differences in preoperative hemostasis tests,
affection to hyperlipidemia, CVA or
renal failure, antiplatelet drug administration and the application of left internal
mammary artery between the transfusion and non transfusion groups.
Conclusion: In this study preoperative
hematocrit was most important risk factor in transfusion in patients that
underwent OPCAB. Female gender, preoperative
low hematocrit, multiple grafts, diabetes and hypertension increased the rate
of blood transfusion. According to the high prevalence of blood transfusion in OPCAB, considering factors that
affect the transfusion rate is essential.

Abstract

Background: Proper drainage of the mediastinal and pleural spaces following Off-Pump Coronary
Artery Bypass (OPCAB) surgery is essential
for the prevention of pleural and pericardial effusions, cardiac tamponade and
late complications such as constrictive pericarditis. Drainage tubes themselves
may induce some complications which can negatively affect the result of the
surgery. In this study we assessed a new technique for chest drainage following
OPCAB.
Methods: In this clinical trial, 171 patients were
allocated to two groups. In the control group, the drainage technique included
one drain in the left pleural cavity and another in the mediastinum, while in
the case group the drainage technique included one drain in the left plural
and one in the right pleural cavity.
Results: The amount of drainage in the case group was more than the control group (p=0.001).
We found significant reductions in the incidence of arrhythmias in the case
group (p=0.005). While one patient (1.2%)
needed reoperation for bleeding control in the control group, no patients
needed reexploration in the case group (p=0.497).
The duration of hospital (p=0.022) and ICU
(p=0.002) stays was shorter in the case group.
Conclusions: Based
on the results of this study, changing the position of mediastinal drains in
patients undergoing OPCAB surgery and shifting it to
the right pleural cavity, reduces complications, such as arrhythmia and
pericardial effusion, aside from establishing a better drainage.

Abstract
Background: Primary cardiac tumors are rare tumors which should be operated urgently. In this study, cardiac myxoma have been evaluated from diagnosis until dis-charge in a 10 years period and then results including presenting symptoms, approach to the patients were compared with similar study in this center a decade ago.
Methods: Patients who underwent operation for myxoma from year 2003 until 2013 in the Shahid Modarres Hospital were included in this study.
Results: Eighteen patients included in the study, 11 female and seven male. Patients’ ages were in the range of 13 to 76 years (mean 53 years). Mean time from diagnosis to operation was 5.8 days and mean time from surgery to discharge was 8.6±6.1 days. Most common presenting symptoms were first clinical presentation in four patients. In all patents echocardiography was the main diagnostic modality. In addition to trans thoracic echocardiography (TTE), in five patients TEE was used and in 13 patients coronary angiography was used to rule out concomitant coronary artery disease. 94.4% of all tumors (17 cases) were primary cardiac tumors and only one tumor (5.6%) was recurrent. In 16 patients (88.9%) tumor were found in the Left Atrium (L.A) and in one case, tumor was found in both atria and in another case, tumor was in the ventricle. After tumor excision, atrial septum was repaired primarily in seven cases (38.9%) and with pericardial patch in 9 cases. One patient underwent concomitant coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and another patient underwent concomitant pulmonary valve repair. 14 patients (77.8%) discharged from hospital without any post operative complication. Heart block occurred in one patient and cerebral emboli with secondary cerebrovascular accident (CVA) developed in two patients. One patient died (5.6%).
Conclusion: Comparing results from two similar studies in two consecutive decades revealed that mean time from diagnosis to operation obviously was reduced but ad-vances in diagnostic modalities were unable to change clinical presentation or reduce age of tumor diagnosis or complications or size.
