although botulinum toxin a is frequently used to augment serial casting in the treatment of soft-tissue contractures in children with cerebral palsy , its effectiveness for this purpose has not been evaluated . the purpose of the present study was to determine whether botulinum toxin a injection increases the efficacy of serial casting . a prospective , randomized trial was undertaken to compare serial casting only with serial casting combined with botulinum toxin a ( botox ) injection for the treatment of ankle equinus contractures in twenty-three children with cerebral palsy . range-of-motion testing , spasticity assessment , and computerized gait analysis were performed as long as twelve months after treatment . there was no difference between the groups with regard to the duration of casting required to correct the equinus contracture . both groups maintained a significant improvement in passive ankle dorsiflexion throughout the follow-up period , although the group managed with casting and botox had a significant loss of dorsiflexion when the values at six , nine , and twelve months were compared with the value at three months . peak dorsiflexion during the stance and swing phases was significantly improved in both groups at three months but only in the group managed with casting alone at twelve months . plantar flexor spasticity was significantly decreased at three months in both groups , but it was significantly decreased at six , nine , and twelve months only in the group managed with casting alone . spasticity was significantly greater in the group managed with casting and botox than it was in the group managed with casting only at six , nine , and twelve months . the present study demonstrates the efficacy of serial casting in the treatment of equinus contractures in children with cerebral palsy who are able to walk . contrary to our hypothesis , the addition of botulinum toxin a to a serial casting regimen led to earlier recurrence of spasticity , contracture , and equinus during gait . the results of the present study suggest that botulinum toxin combined with serial casting for the treatment of fixed contractures will lead to a recurrence of plantar flexor spasticity and equinus contracture by six months in this patient population . while previous research has indicated that the injection of botulinum toxin a is superior to casting for the treatment of dynamic equinus , the present study suggests that serial casting alone is preferable for the treatment of fixed equinus contractures in children with cerebral palsy .

there is mounting evidence supporting the benefit of surgical skills practice in a simulated environment . however , the use of simulation in cardiac surgical training has been limited . the purpose of the current trial was to examine the effect of independent and deliberate simulator practice , during nonclinical time , on the performance of an end-to-side microvascular anastomosis in an in vivo model . this single-blinded , randomized controlled trial received institutional review board approval . thirty-nine first - and second-year surgical trainees were randomized to an expert-guided tutorial on a procedural trainer or to the expert-guided tutorial combined with self-directed practice on the same procedural trainer . self-directed practice consisted of @ anastomoses performed on the procedural trainer : a low-fidelity , commercially available bench model using @-mm polytetrafluoroethylene graft as simulated blood vessel . two weeks after the tutorial , subjects performed an end-to-side anastomosis in a live porcine model , under realistic operating room conditions . assessment of outcomes was performed by @ blinded , expert observers , uings validated measurements of technical skill . the primary outcome was the score on the objective structured assessment of technical skill ( osats ) scale . secondary outcomes included an anastomosis-specific end-product evaluation and time to completion . statistical analysis was conducted using nonparametric , univariate techniques . compared with residents who received expert-guided simulator training alone , those who in addition practiced on a simulator independently after hours scored significantly higher on the osats scale ( @ @ vs @ @ , p = @ ) . residents who practiced independently also scored significantly higher on the end-product evaluation ( @ @ vs @ @ , p = @ ) and performed the anastomosis significantly faster ( @ seconds vs @ seconds , p = @ ) . interrater reliability was high between the expert observers ( intraclass correlation coefficient = @ ) . residents who had the opportunity for self-directed simulator practice performed an end-to-side anastomosis more adeptly , more quickly , and with a higher quality end product . the results of this randomized trial suggest that independent training on a procedural trainer did transfer to improved performance in an operating room environment . simulator training should be incorporated into cardiovascular surgical curricula and residents should have access to this modality for independent after-hours practice to improve operating room performance .

the aim of this prospective study is to verify , in terms of both early postoperative complications and intraocular pressure ( iop ) outcomes , the performance of a scleral flap removable suture . sixty-six patients that underwent trabeculectomy were randomly divided into two groups : in the first group ( group a , @ eyes ) a standard fornix-based trabeculectomy was performed by using a conjunctival chain suture . in the second group ( group b , @ eyes ) the same technique was performed with the additional employment of a new removable suture to the scleral flap . the patients were followed-up for @ months . after @ year the mean iop was @ mmhg ( + / -@ mmhg ) in group a , and @ mmhg ( + / -@ mmhg ) in group b ; statistical analysis did not show significant differences between the two groups ( p = @ ) . early postoperative hypotony and shallowing of the anterior chamber were significantly more frequent after standard trabeculectomy than after trabeculectomy using the removable suture ( p < @ ) . the employment of a fornix-based conjunctival chain suture for the flap allows the use of the removable scleral flap suture , which has proved very effective in preventing insufficient flap resistance with aqueous overdrainage and hypotony , and which is also easy to apply and to remove . compared with standard trabeculectomy , this device has proved to have similar iop-lowering efficacy , together with a lower rate of early postoperative complications .
