-Study of the Decrease of Femoral Muscle Cross-Sectional Area and the Factors Influencing the Decrease by Multiple Regression Analysis-Keiko Kazuma, Reiko Sato, Chiemi Onisi, Tomoko Inoue, Yuko Hamazaki, Y ...1986 Volume 6 Issue 1 Pages 30-37

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to investigate the deterioration of femoral muscle strength and the factors influensing deterioration. Subjects were 72 surgical patients with gastrointestinal diseases aged above 40 years. As indicators of muscle strength, we chose a cross-sectional area (CSA) of muscle, which reflected physiological muscle strength and was estimated from femoral circumference and skinfold. Changes in the CSA were inquired during pre-and post-operative periods, and the factors influensing the decrease were computerized by multiple regression analysis program.
Findings were as follows:
1. Femoral muscle CSA decreased markedly greater as earlier as in post-operative period. At the 7th post-operative day, the CSA decreased 8.4%, and after that time about 0.2% per day.
2. Dominant factors influensing decrease of the CSA were quantity of operative bleeding and ambulation, especially the latter.
3. Other variables correlated with decrease of the CSA were age, pre-operative body weight, and pre-operative serum albumin.
4. Ambulation is facilitated by nursing intervention and differs from other factors in that aspect, therefore the result from this study dose support importance of the nursing intervention in terms of postoperative early ambulation.View full abstractDownload PDF (833K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe experienced a case of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection exhibiting excretion of CMV at quite high titer (more than 50% Tissus Culture Infectious Dose 104.3) in urine and throat.
Following this experience, the present study investigated the CMV excretion rate of children in the general pediatric ward of Chiba University Hospital, and investigated the process by which CMV becomes inactive in extracellular environment, in order to check the possibility of a nosocomial CMV infection.
10 children in the room where the case had been admitted and 11 children in the adjacent room were surveyed for excretion of the virus into their urine.
6 of the 21 children, 3 from each room, excreted CMV into their urine, and 3 of the 6 children excreted at more than 103TCID50/ml.
Tests for the stability of CMV in urine, contrary to our expectations, showed that the stability of CMV was comparatively stable, i. e. the residual infectious CMV was about 10% of the starting material in urine after being kept for five days at room temperature. Similarly 90% of CMV in urine exposed to the atmosphere was still active after 24 hours.
These findings do suggest that CMV could be a possible candidate as agent of nosocomial infection in general pediatric wards, and so it seems that careful nursing practices, such as effective methods of urine disposal, sterilization of all materials contaminated with urine, and careful hand washing by all the personnel who come into contact with urine, to prevent nosocomial CMV infection are required.View full abstractDownload PDF (537K)
