Customers routinely buy products for all sorts of uses. A statutory definition of a medical
device based on whether and how customers actually use products for medical purposes
would be utterly impossible to administer, and frankly unfair. The statute potentially imposes significant regulatory obligations on the seller of a product, and making those obligations depend on the whim of the customer would take compliance completely outside of the control of the seller. So instead, under the statute, it is the seller’s intent with regard to how the customer should use the product that controls how the device is regulated, not how the customer actually does use the product.

InStent Resetenosis: An Algorithmic Approach to Diagnosis and TreatmentNAJEEB ULLAH SOFI
BMS were developed to mitigate elastic recoil and negative remodeling, but they remain prone to NIH. DES were developed to prevent NIH, and these devices (especially first-generation DES) can be accompanied by delayed reendothelialization, which has been associated with stent thrombosis.
Even in the contemporary era of percutaneous coronary intervention using drug-eluting stents, ISR remains a common problem, occurring in 5% to 20% of cases, depending on several patient and lesion characteristics.
The cumulative rates of DES failure have created a major clinical problem so that > 10% of all PCIs done in the United States are to treat ISR, and the number of ISR interventions appears to be increasing year over year
Despite the advances in diagnostic methods and techniques for surgical treatment in the last two decades, aortic diseases remain a major cause of mortality and cardiovascular morbidity, challenging physicians and molecular biologists. It is believed that about 600 million years ago, during the Cambrian period, variant forms of life appeared, among them were the oxygen-producing cyano bacteria.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

These simplified slides by Dr. Sidra Arshad present an overview of the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract.
Learning objectives:
1. Enlist the non-respiratory functions of the respiratory tract
2. Briefly explain how these functions are carried out
3. Discuss the significance of dead space
4. Differentiate between minute ventilation and alveolar ventilation
5. Describe the cough and sneeze reflexes

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

“ELDERLY PATIENTS ARE LESS FREQUENTLY INJURED
BUT MORE SERIOUSLY INJURED”
09/19/16 09:34 AM RT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 3
4. One must take into account:
The variability of changes related to aging among individuals
and the inconsistent response of organ systems in the same
individual to traumatic stress
Pre-injury disease processes
The increased likelihood of poly pharmacy

5. Emergency surgery has been associated with a 31%
morbidity rate and a 20% mortality rate in patients older than age 70
compared to the 6.8% morbidity rate and 1.9% mortality rate following
elective surgical procedures in the same age group

progressive impairment of function with passage of time,
which cannot be averted and which causes individuals
to become more vulnerable to death."

7. Systemic Theories
Neuroendocrine theory: Decrease in neurons and hormone receptors
Immunologic theory: Altered immunoregulatory genes that increase
autoimmune reactions and cause decrease in normal Immune response
Molecular Theories
Free radical theory: Levels of antioxidants and DNA repair enzymes
decrease, leading to increased tissue damage by free radicals
Alteration of macromolecules: Gradual cross-linking of collagen, alteration of
proteins, or accumulation of waste products leads to degenerative change of
tissue structure
Genetic Theories
Program theory: An intrinsic self-destruct program is carried out by
senescence genes
Stochastic theory: A gradual accumulation of genetic alterations and
rearrangements or errors in transcription occur
Theories of aging
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 7
8. Biologic effects of aging
General changes
Weight distribution
Body proportion alterations
By age 60, the body weight of a healthy
human has peaked and begins to decrease.
Levels of circulating proteins are decreased,
proportion of adipose tissue is increased, and
there is a loss of total body water

9. The inflammatory and proliferative responses are decreased,
with delayed angiogenesis, delayed epithelialization, and
delayed remodeling
There is a measurable change in fibroblast function with age.
Migration, rate of synthesis, cross linking of collagen fibrils
and cell life of fibroblasts are all decreased

10. In addition to the diminished cellular responses,
healing is affected by concurrent medical conditions
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 10
• Cardiovascular hemodynamics
• Pulmonary reserve
• Nutritional status
• Immunosuppressive medication
• Tissue and organ perfusion
• Skin quality
• Social habits (smoking)
• Psychological and motivational behavior
• Hematologic inadequacies
• Immunologic changes
• Neuroendocrine dysfunction
• Gastrointestinal and renal impairment
• Musculoskeletal deterioration
• And integument changes
11. Age associated immunologic changes appear to
play a critical role in wound repair and healing
The body's ability to produce antibodies
quantitatively and qualitatively declines with age.
T-cell function and production are significantly
affected.
Gradual decrease in the number of lymphoid cells
Decrease in cell mediated and humoral responses to
specific antigenic stimuli

12. Prophylactic use of antibiotics (when the potential for infection
is increased)
Longer maintaining of sutures in place (wound healing is
delayed)
Excision of ragged wound edges (vascularity is reduced)
Rigid fixation for bone fractures (to achieve primary bone
healing when open reduction is indicated)
Prolonged period of immobilization (when closed reduction is
indicated)

13. Soft tissue changes :
Begin to occur around the age of 30
Orbital region –
Progressive weakening of the orbital septum
Lateral canthus slant downward resulting in the
illusion of decreased eye size
Forehead wrinkles become more noticeable and deepen
Tissue changes in the aging face
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 13
14. Nasal region -
Deepening of the Nasolabial folds
Gradual drooping of the nasal tip
Perioral region -
Downward drooping of the commissures
A drooping of the lower lip occurs and is often
accompanied by an accentuation of the labiomental
fold
Vertical wrinkles emanating from the upper and lower
lips
Accentuated with the loss of teeth and thus the loss of
support for the upper and lower lips
This change is magnified as alveolar bone resorption
follows tooth loss
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 14
15. Aging skin-
Generalized thinning of the epidermis
Less function in the skin appendages
Thickness of the dermis decreases as a result of loss of
elastic and collagen fibers
A decrease in hyaluronic acid production, leading to a low
water binding capacity
Loss of elasticity
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 15
16. Conversely -
Facial scars in the older patient tend to mature faster
and have a shorter erythematous and hypertrophic
phase
Concealment of incision lines in open reduction
techniques may be easier owing to the accentuation
of the lines of facial expression, contour lines, and lines
of dependency

and Neck, Mosby, 1984
17. Skeletal tissue changes :
Usually changes are secondary to tooth loss,
Although qualitative changes like
osteoporosis should also be considered
09/19/16 09:34 AM RT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 17
18. Tension forces result in bone deposition and pressure forces result in bone
resorption
A variety of control mechanisms may be involved, including heredity,
hormonal factors, local PH, enzymatic agents, local oxygen tension,
bioelectric potential, local induction phenomena, and others
Long-term denture wearing has been associated with increased alveolar bone
resorption
Alveolar resorption is approximately four times greater in the mandible than
in the maxilla
09/19/16 09:34 AM RT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 18
19. Bradley performed angiographic studies and he
found that in many older individuals, an inferior
alveolar artery could not be found and in others,
the vessel was greatly reduced in size
Bradley also demonstrated the presence of a
periosteal plexus of vessels along the inferior
border of the mandible made up of branches of
the buccal, lingual and facial arteries
09/19/16 09:34 AM RT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 19
20. Another anatomic factor of importance is the position of the
inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle
Bundle may lie on the superior aspect of the residual ridge
just below the mucosa. As Bruce and Strachan suggest, the
intraoral approach might therefore be more hazardous to
the bundle than the extra oral approach

34:973, 1976
21. Branzi and Quintarelli have shown that the maxillary artery
may be more prone to atheroma than any other artery in
head and neck
As maxillary alveolar bone is lost, the distance between the
maxillary sinus floor and the residual ridge decreases, and the
ratio of sinus space to bone increases.
The lateral wall of the maxillary sinus is often thin, and the
combination of these factors can produce a severely
comminuted le fort I, or "eggshell,' fracture

Common mechanisms of injury
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 22
23. Zachariades and colleagues :
Majority of fractures were found in the mandible
Most of the mandibular fractures (42%) were condylar
region ,One third of them were bilateral
Body(25%), ascending ramus or angle (21%), and the
symphysis (11.5%)
Le fort II and two Le fort III fractures were more among mid
face fractures
Zygomatico-orbital # more in elderly females

24. Special considerations in management
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 24
Technique for treatement
1.Closed reduction with splint fixation
2.Open reduction (intraoral or extraoral) with transosseous,
circumferential wire ligation and transfixation Kirschner wires
3. Percutaneous intramedullary pinning
4. Intra oral open reduction with bone graft and maxillomandibular
fixation
5. External splint fixation appliance
6. Extra oral open reduction and fixation with malleable mesh
7. Extra oral open reduction and fixation with bone plating
25. Maxillomandibular fixation - open bite
Craniomaxillary suspension - palatal tipping
Rigid fixation techniques with miniplates - atrophy of the
alveolar ridges, coupled with pneumatization of the
maxillary sinuses, may preclude the use
Fractures of the partially or
completely edentulous maxilla
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 25
26. Key points
Establish preinjury ocular status
Establish preinjury facial trauma history
Establish sinus health history
Pearls
Consider secondary repair of facial injuries in the
medically compromised patient
Pitfalls
Failing to observe signs of systemic decline
Concluding inappropriately that the position of
the edentulous maxillary fracture is within the
boundaries of a prosthodontic salvage without
fracture repair.
Relying on denture or gunning's splints to reduce
edentulous midface fractures
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 26
27. Closed Reduction
Denture or acrylic splint wired to the superior surface
of the atrophic mandibular ridge
Gunning splint
Biphasic external pin appliance
Intramedullary pinning
Fractures of the Partially or
Completely Edentulous Mandible
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 27
31. Biphasic external pin appliance (Morris appliance)
At least two pins are placed on either side of the
fracture site. Note that the pins are not parallel but
diverge slightly from one another
Following reduction, first-phase stabilization is
obtained with the application of a connecting bar
and universal connectors
Second-phase stabilization proceeds with cold-cured
acrylic applied while the connector bar is in place

33. Intramedullary pinning
Consists of introducing a Steinmann pin
(5/64-inch or 3/32-inch) or Kirschner wire
(O.O35-inch or O.O45-inch) lengthwise
through the mandibular fragments once the
fracture has been reduced
The wire is usually introduced into the bone
via a small stab incision placed in the
cutaneous tissue over the chin region

35. Key points
Strive for anatomic reduction
Be cognizant of the qualitative and quantitative
changes of bone in the edentulous mandible
Pearls
Consider future prosthetic care, when open
reduction is selected for body fractures
Avoid external pin fixation treatment for grossly
displaced fractures
Pitfalls
Loss of posterior interarch distance
Selecting bone plates for rigid fixation of body
fractures
Using "ridge runner" lower dentures or inadequately
designed gunning's splints to repair displaced
mandibular fractures

1930s – MMF with gunning splint/dentures
1940s – External fixators like Roger Anderson pin fixator, Frac-
sure appliance, Pohl hook screw appliance, Thoma
peripheral bone clamp, Brenthenhurst clamp splint etc.
1950s – Joe Hall Morris external skeletal fixation (biphasic
system)
1960s – Robinson and Yoon L-plate

38. 1970s – Lurhs dynamic compression plate, Sampson peri-
cortical clamp system, titanium mesh tray and autogenous
cancellous bone
1980s – EDCP’s and DCP’s
Recommendations:
For mandibular body region extra oral approach is best
Two plates should be placed in parallel whenever bone
height permits
Long rigid reconstruction plates help placing screws at
symphysis and ramal area away from fracture site and also
avoid periosteal stripping at fracture site
Lag screws can be used at fracture of symphysis region

39. Pathological fractures of the mandible - F. Gerhards, H.-D. Kuffner, W.
Wagner. Int. J. Oral maxillofac. Surg. 1998, 27.186-190.
Fifty percent of the fractures had an inflammatory cause
Severe atrophy of edentulous mandibles
Benign tumours and cysts
Primary or secondary malignancies
Regardless of the cause, the majority of the fractures occurred in the body of
the mandible

41. Conservative management of the fractured atrophic
edentulous mandible H. Dexter Barber, DDS J Oral
Maxillofac Surg 59:789-791, 2001
Amount of displacement of the fractured segment is
obviously a determining factor as to whether conservative
management is a realistic option
Grossly displaced edentulous mandible fracture is not
amendable to conservative treatment and an open
reduction and internal fixation is required
However, with the atrophic edentulous mandible fracture, if
the fracture segments are not grossly displaced,
conservative management provides a viable option

42. Invasive Management of the Fractured Atrophic
Edentulous Mandible Robert D. Marciani, DMD J Oral
Maxillofac Surg 59:792-795, 2001
When open reduction is the procedure of choice, rigid
fixation devices should be used that will result in immediate
function and long-term resistance to hardware fracture
A titanium mesh crib with a simultaneous iliac crest bone
graft is one option
Intraoral open bone plating was associated with a high
frequency of complications
Horizontally placed bone plates may invite more frequent
complications
Miniplates may also be problematic

44. Intraoral approach was predominantly used, except in
cases of avulsion and comminution
Complications were only observed in Class II and III
atrophy
Major complications (10%) were observed in Class II
and III atrophy attributed to a combination of
unfavorable conditions produced by the reduced cross
section and smaller contact area of fractured ends
and sclerotic and poorly vascularized bone
Dimension of hardware used was dependent on the
category of atrophy. In fractures of Class I atrophy, 1.0-
mm plates were used, whereas Classes II and III
required more rigid fixation
09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 44
45. Major complications associated with the plating
systems
were due to wrong indication, unstable fixation
with a
single plate and aggravated bruxism
postoperatively
Treatment must be based on the type of
fracture, degree of atrophy, and experience of
the surgeon
The use of 0.5-mm mesh crib with autogenous
bone graft yielded good results in complex
fractures with avulsion or comminution09/19/16 09:34 AMRT/11/GERIATRIC MAXFAX TRAUMA/50 45

mandible based on degree of atrophy with use of
compression plate. Hans-George Luhr et al. JOMS
1996,54:250-4
There is obvious relation between height of mandible and
incidence of complications in healing
In # with class III atrophy, periosteal stripping should be
avoided
Compression osteosynthesis has proved to be successful
method.

Engelstad, DDS, MD, George M. Kushner, DMD, MD,and Brian
Alpert, DDS J Oral Maxillofac Surg 64:122-126, 2006
Careful patient selection is a must, immediate bone grafting
of infected mandibular fractures, when used in conjunction
with rigid internal fixation and appropriate intraoperative
debridement, is an effective treatment modality which allows
a single surgical procedure and dramatically shortens the
course of treatment
