1. Field of Invention
The present invention relates to a method of monitoring blood flow in a blood vessel by employing ultrasonic Doppler technology and more specifically, it involves such a method which is advantageously employable in monitoring blood flow after microvascular surgery.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It has been known in connection with the monitoring of blood vessels after microvascular surgery to employ an ultrasonic Doppler probe which may take the form of a sleeve to which an ultrasonic transducer has been secured. After completion of monitoring, the probe and supporting sleeve must be surgically removed. See generally Swartz at al. "Direct Monitoring of Microvascular Anastomose with the 20-Mhz Ultrasonic Doppler Probe: An Experimental and Clinical Study," Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, pages 149-158 (February 1988). See also Pinnella et al. "Direct Microvascular Monitoring with Implantable Ultrasonic Doppler Probes," Journal of Microsurgery, pages 217-221 (Summer 1982) and Bandyk et al. "Detection of Technical Error During Arterial Surgery by Pulsed Doppler Spectral Analysis," Arch. Surg. Volume 119, pages 421-428 (April 1984). It has also been known to employ implanted cuffs around nerves in order to stimulate nerve activity artificially or dampen nerve activity, or to deliver medication. See generally U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,602,624; 4,628,942; 4,649,936; and 5,092,332.
It is of great importance after microvascular surgery to monitor the region of the surgery in order to make sure that the blood flow is maintained at the desired level and that no problems, such as thromboses have occurred. Should thrombosis occur, the transferred tissue would die. Conventional techniques employ transcutaneous methods such as ultrasonic Doppler or laser Doppler. It has also been known to employ experimental sleeves which along with the wire and ultrasonic transducer must be surgically removed after completion of the monitoring period. Such monitoring is particularly important where the microvascular surgery has been performed on a blood vessel which is spaced below the skin surface.
It has been known to employ indirect means of monitoring the functioning of blood flow through blood vessels which have been subjected to microvascular surgery. For example, surface temperature measurements, transcutaneous PO2 monitoring, photoplethysmography and laser Doppler flow meters have been employed. These approaches generally require an accessible exposed portion of the flap. Buried free tissue transfers and intraoral flaps cannot be monitored effectively by these methods.
It has also been known to employ an implantable thermocouple device which can be used without the need for exposed surface contact with the flap, but in general, this approach has been deemed inadequate and use has by and large has been discontinued. See generally, May et al. "Removable Thermocouple Probe Microvascular Patency Monitor: An Experimental and Clinical Study," Plast. Reconstr. Surg. 72:366 1983.
In spite of the foregoing known approaches there remains a substantial need for an improved means for monitoring blood flow within a patient.
The present invention has met the above described need. The present method of ultrasonic Doppler monitoring of blood flow in a patient's blood vessel includes employing ultrasonic processing means which are adapted to both provide pulsed energy to the transducer and receive returned signals from the transducer and process the same. The ultrasonic processing means are connected by an electrically conductive wire to an ultrasonic transducer. The wire and transducer assembly are preferably secured to a strip of biologically inert material, which strip is subsequently wrapped in intimate contact surrounding the exterior surface of the blood vessel in question to establish a cuff. The cuff is secured in the surrounding relationship and the transducer-wire assembly is employed in the Doppler mode to monitor blood flow within the blood vessel. After completion of the monitoring the ultrasonic transducer and wire are removed, but the cuff may remain in place.
The ultrasonic transducer and wire are preferably secured to the strip by introduction into the strip through a slit therein. Adhesive means may be employed to facilitate securement of the transducer in the desired position.
The method preferably positions the monitor downstream (with respect to the direction of blood flow) with respect to an anastomosis in the blood vessel.
The method may be employed in blood vessels which are disposed in spaced relationship below the skin.
An object of the present invention is to provide a reliable and efficient method of ultrasonic Doppler blood flow monitoring in a blood vessel which has been subjected to microvascular surgery.
It is another object of the present invention to provide such a method which eliminates the need for surgical removal of the cuff which secured the transducer and wire in the desired position.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide such a method which is usable both on arteries and veins.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide an efficient means for directly monitoring the arterial or venous anastomosis of free tissue transfers.
These, and other objects of the invention will be more fully understood from the following detailed description of the invention on reference to the illustrations appended hereto.
FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of an initial phase of the method.
FIG. 2 illustrates the strip of the present invention positioned in surrounding relationship with respect to a blood vessel.
FIG. 3 illustrates a cross-sectional illustration of the blood vessel and cuff illustrated in FIG. 2, taken through 3--3 of FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary elevational illustration showing a portion of the cuff in position around the blood vessel.
FIG. 5 is a schematic illustration showing an initial phase of transducer and wire removal from the cuff.
As used herein, the term "patient" will refer to members of the animal kingdom, including human beings.
Referring in greater detail to FIG. 1, there is shown a strip 2 of biologically inert or absorbable material which has adequate strength to serve the intended purpose. A presently preferred material for this purpose is a polyfluorotetraethylene material such as that sold under trade designation Goretex which may have a thickness of about 0.026 to 0.030 inch. For the purposes of use within the present invention, the strip 2 may have a length L of about 6 to 8 mm and a width W of about 4 to 6 mm. All of these dimensions are presently preferred, but not limiting on the scope of the invention.
Secured to or within strip 2 in a manner to be described hereinafter is a transducer 4 which preferably is in the high frequency range of about 20 MHz and may be generally cylindrical, having a diameter of about 1.00 mm. A wire 6, which is preferably a silver wire which is silicone encased, connects the transducer with ultrasonic processing means 10 which serves both to energize the crystal 4 to emit an ultrasonic pulse and to receive the echo pulse and process the same. Those skilled in the art may readily determine the sort of signal processing/output and storage desired. It is presently preferred to use the audio signal in a qualitative fashion. A strip chart recording, oscilloscope presentation or computer data interface, for example, are alternative methods of storing and/or analyzing the signals.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a blood vessel 20 which may be a vein or artery which defines a lumen 22 through which blood will flow in the direction indicated by Arrow A. In the method of the present invention, the strip 2 is cut to desired length, such that, it will be capable of being positioned in the intimate surface to surface contact with exterior surface of blood vessel 20 in either a butt joint as shown in FIG. 2 or an overlapping joint, and secured in such position as by sutures 30, 32 with the strip 2 formed into the cuff-shape shown in FIG. 2. The transducer 4 is preferably oriented generally at an angle of about 45� F. to the exterior surface of the adjacent portion of blood vessel 20 and from this position can effectively provide information needed to determine blood flow through the vessel. It will be noted in the form shown that a cuff 2 has been positioned downstream with respect to the direction of blood flow from the anastomosis 24.
In this manner, an efficient means of monotoring a blood flow, post-surgically, to confirm that no thrombosis or other flow related potentially dangerous, undesired condition has occurred is facilitated.
Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4 in greater detail, it will be seen that a slit 34 has been made in the strip 2 to facilitate passage of transducer 4 into the interior of the strip 2. A suitable adhesive material, such as a room temperature vulcanizing silicone sealant 36 has been positioned adjacent slot 34 around wire 6, so as to secure wire 6 to the strip 2. In the alternative, a suture could be employed to effect such securement. In either event, the application of suitable tension to the wire 6 when it is desired to remove the wire 6-transducer 4 assembly should result in removal of these two elements as a unit.
In the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the blood vessel 20 is shown in intimate surface-to-surface contact with the strip 2 which has been formed into a cuff. In some instances, there may be a space between the cuff 2 and the exterior of the blood vessel 2.
Referring to FIG. 5, in use after a period of about 3 to 7 days when it has been confirmed that the desired rate of blood flow is being maintained, the monitor is no longer needed. The wire 6, which penetrates the skin and extends to outside the body for connection to ultrasonic processing means 10 is disconnected from the cuff formed from strip 2 by means of a very small incision. The transducer 4, which is effectively secured to the wire 6 by any suitable means such as an adhesive or solder, for example, is removed with wire 6. By applying a pulling force to the wire 6, transducer 4 may be removed from the patient's body, leaving the cuff intact. It will be appreciated at this approach eliminates the need to reenter the general region of the prior surgery in order to remove a prior art type sleeve.
In the event that the monitoring process results in an indication that a predetermined level of flow restriction has occurred, it may be necessary or desirable to reenter the patient to perform exploratory surgery.
While the strip material 2, presently preferred is polyfluorotetraethylene, it will be appreciated that other biologically inert or absorbable materials having suitable strength may be employed in strip 2. Among the materials that may advantageously be employed are a material selected from the group consisting of silicone, absorbable polyglycoxilic acid (sold under the trade designation Dexon), and Dacron which is a trade designation for a straight chain polyester fiber derived from condensation of terephthalic acid with ethan-1, 2-diol.
The present invention may be employed to monitor blood flow within a vein or artery at a single location or a plurality of locations, depending upon the medical needs. One region of frequent use of microvascular surgery is in the patient's hand. In such case, where the surgery has occurred at a position spaced below the skin level, the wire 6 connecting the transducer 4 with the ultrasonic processing means 10 would extend out of the skin for purposes of this connection. As the number of days during which monitoring will occur, will be relatively short in the absence of unforeseen complications, the process is not particularly burdensome on the patient. It is generally preferred to employ the process at a particular location for about 3 to 7 days. The invention also provides the further advantage of eliminating surgery to remove a transducer supporting sleeve surrounding the blood vessel.
It will be appreciated that the method provides an effective means for monitoring blood flow within blood vessels of the patient after microvascular surgery while eliminating the need to surgically remove the entire monitoring device after the monitoring period is complete. All of this is accomplished in a manner which is surgically sound and does not in any manner interfere the effectiveness of the monitor.
As the ultrasonic processing means 10, wire 6, and the ultrasonic transducer 4, as well as their interaction and operation, are well known to those skilled in the art details of the same need not be provided herein.
Whereas, particular embodiments of the invention have been described herein, for purposes of illustration, it will be evident to those skilled in the art that numerous variations of the details may be made without departing from the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

HP Phone Home
HP Phone Home
As you will see if you read our news, Hewlett Packard, which everyone calls HP, was big this month. The computer giant announced some sweeping changes, including sweeping changes to undo the sweeping changes they announced a few months ago.
Sweeping changes are always part of the scene in an economic downturn, but I can't help thinking it is better to figure out what you want to do and sweep in one direction, rather than trying to sweep several ways at once.
As a cultural icon, HP predates the personal computer era. When I was a teenager, no one had a smartphone, but all the geeky kids had calculators, and HP calculators were the coolest and geekiest calculators of all. With their elegant design and distinctive reverse polish notation, they washed coolness back onto the owner. At once simple, yet inscrutable to the uninitiated, they were the iPhone of their era. But that was many years ago. HP's mystique didn't make the transition into the computer era.
Their printers had a solid reputation for a while, but HP was one of many computer vendors to wake up one day and discover that the PC hardware market just doesn't lend itself to mystical brand names. In today's world, people buy PCs the way they buy cans of corn and beans at the grocery – a vague memory of a logo lingers until around dinnertime, but no one has any real expectation that one particular logo leads to a significantly different experience.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Jan. 27, 2012) - College students are always on the go. If they don't have their text books, they'll at least have their cell phones.
Beginning this semester, UALR is launching Blackboard Mobile Learn (http://on.kthv.com/wrcgFt), a free app that allows students access to their courses directly from their smartphones.
"I'm excited to be able to use blackboard mobile," says UALR business graduate student Matthew Cox.
Matthew Cox uses Blackboard all the time for class on his laptop. Tuesday he was able to download it to his smart phone.
"It gives you information like class discussion, emails, or assignments, grades. It's everything," says Cox.
Mark Burris is the UALR's director of Scholarly Technology and Resources.
"When they [students] are in line at the grocery store they have access to their course. That's when they can listen to their podcast and read the material," says Burris.
Burris says UALR is meeting a big demand from students and faculty. Before this app was even announced, UALR had more than 100 downloads.
"It gives faculty and students an opportunity to create content in everyday world and everyday life. You can take photos or videos in your work environment and post that as part of discussion,"
The university had to wait a year and a half for the technology to catch up.
This app has only been feasible in the last few months. And students like Cox who just downloaded the app already have plans for it.
"Probably see what things I need to turn in that I missed," says Burris.
The app is being launched for courses taught in Blackboard Learn 9.1. Of the 1,480 courses at UALR that use the Blackboard system, 222 initially will have access to the Mobile Learn app. More courses will will be added as the year progresses.
"Starting in the summer 2012 semester, all UALR faculty and students will be on the latest version of Blackboard and, so, will be able to take advantage of this new avenue of online learning," Burris said.
The new app is available to be downloaded on:
• Android devices
• BlackBerry smart phone devices
• HP web OS devices
• iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad

Mini runs, club stands at local events and all other Mini related matters.

at no cost to you. Click on the trading post page to see what's there.

Well, that's it for the Suffolk Run 2014, the tenth and last but it has been a good
effort by all concerned. As expected, the proliferation of events now taking place
in April has impacted on the Suffolk Run as only 61 Minis were on the run, the lowest
number since we started and 35 down on last year. Consequently we were down on profit
but still made a respectable £675. Details of the expenses and donations can be seen
by clicking on THIS LINK
Many thanks to all those regulars who have supported us over the ten years and the
total raised over those years is £7,000. Well done all!
We have to commiserate with Kevin Curtis who only travelled a few miles before experiencing
that well know Mini problem of wanting to go no further! Glad that Kev got home OK.
Many had a go at the observation quiz but there were only 3 in it at the end. Hard
luck (yet again) to the Allitt family and John and Sally Butcher, but the clear winners
with 18 correct out of the 19 were Keith O'Gorman and partner. Very kindly, they
donated the prize of £25 to the Aldeburgh Charity. Thanks and well done! For those
who want to know the answers, they are at this link.
Thanks to the Mini owners from the Leicester area who made it all the way to Ram
Meadow and to Aldeburgh, where they had a field day with draw prize winning! Thanks
guys and well done.
As far as the Best on show was concerned, there were votes for 27 of the Minis and
MINIS on show, which shows that the individuality of the little car has wide and
varied appeal.
In third place, a previous winner and always smartly turned out (car as well as owner!)
was Brian Mateer's Riley Elf. Second was the recently excellently restored Pick Up
of Les Winkworth and the winner was the superb Mini 40 of Les Brooks. Well done Les
and thanks for your support over the years.
Click on the page links below for information.
22 members at the April meeting and 12 Minis. We have 47 members now and it looks
like being a full on year as we have 17 Minis booked for the Bury Motor show alone.
The more members the merrier. 2015 membership form HERE The next
meeting is on 28th May at the Bradfield Manger. The April news sheet is HERE.
Many thanks to Jack Mason who took a great selection of Photos (not all of Minis!!)
but if you want to take a look - hit HERE. Thanks again for your nice comments Jack.
We think the event has been successful over the years but are aware of the large
number of events and the fact that times are hard (whatever our politicians say)
and it is not possible to attend every single one. We are only a small Club and are
happy this way but hope we have provided a few of you with a bit of pleasure over
the last 10 Aprils.
There are a few photographs of the run below and thanks to Les Chenery and others
for these.
Opposite is a photograph of me presenting Leigh from the Childrens' Rainbow Ward
with a £100 voucher for HMV for DVDs, a £100 voucher for the Early Learning Centre
and £100 voucher for Wilkinson's toy department.
We have already received a thank you email from Aldeburgh United Charities and a
letter of thanks from the East Anglian Air Ambulance for their £200 donations, so
thanks to one and all for your efforts.

District Manager Interview
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Buffets Holdings in October 2009.
The interview process consisted of multiple phone interviews, each one of about 30 minutes, and each one including a review of my resume. At no point were good solid questions asked of me, and in most cases the company representative could not field my questions. It seemed that they were not communcating with each other as they passed me along. I had four phone interviews and at that time I finally withdrew my name from considerations.

text: on Feb 25, 2013 @ 6:30 AMFeb 25, 2013 @ 6:30 AM PublishedGermany investigates possible organic egg fraudBERLIN, Feb 25 (Reuters) - German authorities are investigating possible large-scale fraud by organic egg producers amid increased concern over food industry practices following Europe's horse meat scandal.The northern state of Lower Saxony, a major agricultural hub, has launched probes of some 150 farms suspected of wrongly selling eggs produced by hens kept in overcrowded conditions under the organic label.Two other states are investigating a further 50 farms."If the accusations (against the farms) are found to be true, then we are talking of fraud on a grand scale: fraud against consumers but also fraud against the many organic farmers in Germany who work honestly," German Farm Minister Ilse Aigner said in a statement on Monday.She urged regional governments to ensure the full implementation of tough German and EU laws on organic food production, adding that consumers must be able to have full confidence in the labelling of products.Organically produced eggs cost some 10 cents more than those produced under standard industrial conditions.Christian Meyer, farm minister in the newly appointed Lower Saxony government, vowed to take a tough line on any farms found to have broken the law.Organic food is a huge industry in environmentally-conscious Germany, where many consumers are willing to pay extra for eggs, meat, vegetables and other products they believe have been produced organically.The suspicions of organic egg fraud coincide with the discovery that horse meat was labelled as beef in processed food sold around Europe. The scandal has triggered recalls of ready meals and damaged confidence in the continent's food industry.Two years ago a European Union-wide health alert was sparked when German officials said animal feed tainted with dioxin had been fed to hens and pigs, contaminating eggs, poultry meat and pork at affected farms.

LETTER: United effort can spark change
Berniece Tirmenstein, Evansville
Forty years ago the state of Indiana gifted land to the City of Evansville for park purposes. This was accomplished by State Sen. Albert Wesselman from Evansville. The park was named Wesselman Park. The fate of the wooded part of Wesselman Park was in question for a few years after the city's acquisition in 1963. Some fear was aroused when a site map was publicized, showing a potential 18-hole golf course, the back 9 holes taking one third of the trees in Wesselman Park.
This would bring in money. However, the central wooded area was designated on the plan as a "Nature Center" although no further mention of its use was mentioned in the text.
Various people in the park and recreational department along with concerned citizens saw the need to promote development of the nature center. The idea of the golf course was gone. Different organizations were contacted and made aware of exceptional forest resources. The Junior League stepped forward and financed a survey. The report showed many potential activities such as a park district bonds were exhausted. Financing became a problem. Junior League began a full stage community fund drive in 1970 with a goal of $160,000 for construction of a Visitors Interpretive Center. The league donated $30,000 to kick off the campaign with local support following. A year later a matching grant was obtained. The center opened in January 1973.
When citizens get involved and informed, we can win.

1 Candidate Interview Review Back to all InterviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
IT Applications Management Analyst Interview
I applied online. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Dell (Austin, TX) in March 2007.
Initial communications were from Hiring Manager, via email, which resulted in a phone interview with said Manager. Was invited to Austin to sit for a series of 6 interviews - one with the manager, and one of his peers (Mgr Interviews), two individual interviews with my position's peers, and finally, two more 1:1 interviews with associates who were more senior on the team, but reported to the same manager. Interview questions consisted of Resume Reviews, standard new hire interview questions (Dell breaks the standard up into 6 parts and gives each interviewer a set of questions to ask), non-standard problem solving practices; some were generic - these are designed to test generally how you attack problems, and some were actual problems from the production environment that I was given details about and asked to describe how I would resolve it). In addition, I was asked to describe / draw on whiteboard previous system / software designs and walk an unitiated user through the business and technical objectives, and any challenges faced during launch.
Interview Questions
- How much does the Washington Monument Weigh? 1 Answer
- How many gas stations are there in Austin? 1 Answer
- You have a web commerce application that user access behind a Load Balancing system (BigIP). You know there are 20 instances of each IIS application running in the app cluster. Some users are reporting seeing an error during the checkout process that no other users report, and no one has been able to reproduce the error live. How would you go about investigating the problem and resolving it? 1 Answer
The job I applied for had a pre-determined salary ranking and range available for the hire, so I was not asked about a salary "goal" - I was made an offer and given the chance to accept / reject.

First measurements of the differential positronium-formation cross-sections
Positrons are the antimatter version of electrons and so their fate in a matter world is ultimately to annihilate. However, prior to this, a positron may combine with an electron to form a matter-antimatter hybrid called positronium. This is akin to a hydrogen atom with the proton replaced by a positron. Fundamental to our understanding of the physical universe, positron and positronium are these days also acknowledged as being fantastically useful in practical applications such as probing material properties and medical diagnostics. However, there is still much that we do not know for sure about the details of the interactions of these particles with ordinary matter. For example if, in a collision with an atom or molecule, a positron captures an electron, in which directions is the positronium likely to travel and with what probability? More...

The research, published Tuesday 2nd December 2014 in the journal eLife, supports the development of new drugs that target this mechanism, which is implicated in serious diseases. The team brings together researchers from UCL, Birkbeck, University of London, the University of Leicester, and Monash University (Melbourne). More...

Nigeria's Four Biggest Opposition Parties Agree to Merge
Feb. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Nigeria's four biggest opposition political parties are merging to contest the 2015 elections against President Goodluck Jonathan's People's Democratic Party.
The parties "have resolved to merge forthwith and become the All Progressives Congress and offer to our beleaguered people a recipe for peace and prosperity," according to a statement handed to reporters today. "At no time in our national life has radical change become more urgent."
The two biggest parties in the merger are the Action Congress of Nigeria, whose governors control most of the country's southwestern states including Lagos, the commercial capital, and the Congress for Progressive Change, led by the north's biggest opposition figure, former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari.
Nigeria, Africa's most populous state and biggest oil producer, is almost evenly divided between a mainly Muslim north and a largely Christian south. Buhari lost to Jonathan in the 2011 presidential election, garnering the most northern votes. Jonathan is the third PDP president since 1999, when more than 15 years of military rule started by Buhari ended.
While previous attempts by Nigerian opposition parties to form coalitions have failed, "I get the sense that there is a serious push toward a united big political party and I think that the merger will happen," said Clement Nwankwo, executive director of the Abuja-based Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre.
The alliance also includes the northern All Nigeria People's Party and the All Progressive Grand Alliance, based in the country's southeast. At least 10 governors from four opposition parties met on Feb. 5 to back the alliance.
"We are extremely concerned about the state of the nation and we put our heads together in the interest of our people to deliberate on what can be done to rescue our country," the governors said in a statement e-mailed by the office of Lagos state Governor Babatunde Fashola.

Punk veterans Pennywise have found a permanent replacement for frontman JIM LINDBERG, who quit the band last year (09).
The cult California group will now be fronted by Zoli Teglas, who joined the band for shows at the end of 2009.
Thrilled Teglas says, "I'm stoked to be singing with Pennywise. I'm a huge fan of the band and am super grateful."
Lindberg was the band's leader for 19 years. He quit so he could turn his attention to documentary work and action sports and music network Havoc TV, which he founded.
Last year (09) he told WENN, "After 20 years, nine albums and thousands of shows around the world, my time in Pennywise has come to an end."
