1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates in general to swim wear having storage pockets and more particularly to a swimsuit having a waterproof pouch tethered to a pocket.
2. Background of the Invention
Persons participating in water sports often encounter the problem of what to do with water-damageable valuables, such as paper money or wallet, while the person is in or near the water. There is a particularly high incidence of theft of such items left on the beach while the owner is in the water.
There are several designs for waterproof containers into which valuables can be placed and then inserted in a swimsuit pocket. This method has a several major drawbacks. Many water sports are very active such that items stored in a pocket tend to dislodge. Even pockets that have a closure, such as a fastener or flap, often open and dump their contents. Also, waterproof containers generally float and continually try to float upwards out of a pocket.
Therefore, there has been a need for an improved method of keeping water-damageable valuables on the person while engaging in water sports.
According to an embodiment of the invention, a bathing suit includes a pocket, a waterproof pouch disposed in the pocket and a tether having a first end attached to the suit and a second end attached to the waterproof pouch. The tether is flexible and of sufficient length such that the waterproof pouch can be removed from the pocket for inserting therein items for safekeeping. The pouch is made of pliable waterproof material and has a sealable opening such that, when sealed, liquids may not enter.
In a preferred embodiment, the pocket is constructed such that the tether can be anchored to the suit's waistband.
In a preferred embodiment, the pocket is constructed such that the tether is concealed entirely within the pocket during storage of the pouch.
In another embodiment, the pouch is in a rear pocket and the tether is sufficiently long such that the pouch can be removed from the rear pocket and held to the front of a wearer for inserting therein items for safekeeping.
Other features and many attendant advantages of the invention will become more apparent upon a reading of the following detailed description together with the drawings in which like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout.
FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of the invention showing a swimsuit and showing, in phantom, the suit front pocket with tethered waterproof pouch and tether therein.
FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the suit of FIG. 1 showing the waterproof pouch removed from the suit front pocket.
FIG. 4 is a side perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the invention showing a swimsuit and showing a waterproof pouch tethered to a suit rear pocket and showing, in phantom, the tethered waterproof pouch and tether in the suit rear pocket.
With reference now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIG. 1 thereof, there is shown a front perspective view of the invention, denoted generally as 10, showing a suit, such as swimsuit 20, and showing, in phantom, the suit front pocket 40 with tethered waterproof pouch 60 and tether 80 therein.
Suit 20, shown, is intended to be representative of most any swimsuit and generally includes material 22 circumscribing the body of a wearer and includes a front 25 and a rear 26, leg openings 27 and a waist portion 30. Suit 20 has an inner side 23 toward a wearer and an outer side 24.
Waist portion 30 typically is a reinforced area including several horizontal seams which entrap an elastic band and may contain a draw string tie for adjustment to the waist of the wearer. The suit may include a internal liner, typically brief-shaped of lighter material than material 22 and typically attached to waist portion 30.
Slits 35 in suit 20 lead to pockets 40, including front pockets 40F and rear pocket 40R. Pockets 40 are disposed on the inner side 23 of suit 20 and connected to suit 20.
Looking additionally at FIG. 2 there is shown a sectional view taken on line 2--2 of FIG. 1. In the preferred embodiment, shown, front pocket 40F uses suit material 22 as its front wall 42. Pocket rear wall 44 is attached to suit 20 along the sides at seams 58, including medial seam 58M and lateral seam 58L, along the bottom at hem 59, and along the top at waist 30. Bottom seam 59 need not be at the hem but may be above the hem seam. The top portion of pocket 40F includes an opening 48 arranged in registration with slit 35 in suit 20 to form an ingress and egress to pocket 40F.
Many other configurations of pocket 40 are possible but the preferred embodiments shown offer several advantages. Other configurations include the standard complete bag-like pocket having an opening attached around slit 35 and not utilizing any of the suit material in its construction.
A waterproof pouch 60 is disposed in pocket 40F. Pouch 60 is typically constructed of vinyl or other waterproof material 61 and includes an opening 62 having a waterproof seal 64. The preferred seal 64 is an waterproof interlocking lip arrangement. Seal 64 may be such as is incorporated on some types of ZIPLOC� bags or on OMNISEAL (tm) bags whereby a seal is formed from squeezing the two sides of the opening together. When pouch 60 is sealed, liquids may not enter. Preferably, pouch 60 is large enough to hold a wallet 99, but may be small and hold only a few bills or identification.
Pouch 60 is made of pliable waterproof material 61 and is capable of passing through the pocket opening and slit 35.
Pouch 60 includes a tab 66 including means, such as grommet 67, for attachment of tether 80.
Preferably, tether 80 has a first end 84 attached to suit 20. First end 84 is preferably attached to waist 30 such as by sewing it into the waist seam 31. Waist seam 31 is the most secure anchor point for tether 80 and the configuration shown allows fixation to waistband 30 while still concealing tether 80 entirely within pocket 40F during storage of pouch 60 therein. Alternately, first end 84 can be attached to pocket 40 or other suitable location. Tether second end 86 is attached to pouch 60. In the preferred embodiment, tether second end 86 is attached to the grommet 67 of pouch tab 66.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the suit 20 of FIG. 1 showing the waterproof pouch removed from the suit front pocket. Tether 80 is a flexible cord of sufficient length such that pouch 60 can be removed from pocket 40F for inserting therein items, such as wallet 99, for safekeeping.
Pocket opening 48 includes closure means, such as mating hook/loop fasteners 95 on front wall 42 and rear wall 44 to aid in retaining pouch 60 in pocket 40. Other direct closure means are contemplated, such as buttons, or indirect means, such as a flap over slit 35 secured by any suitable means, such as hook/loop fastener material.
FIG. 4 is a side perspective view of an alternate embodiment of the invention showing swimsuit 20 having a rear slit 35R therethrough and a rear pocket 40R having an opening 48 arranged in registration with slit 35. Rear pocket 40R, shown, uses suit material 22 as its front wall 42. Pocket rear wall 44 is attached to suit 20 along the sides at seams 58 and along the bottom at seam 57 and along the top at waist 30. Bottom seam 57 need not be above the hem 59 but may be integral with hem seam 59. Tether 80 may be attached as described with reference to front pocket 40F.
The phantom lines show pouch 60 and rear tether 80R in the stored position in rear pocket 40R. The solid lines show pouch 60 removed from pocket 40R. Tether 80 is flexible and of sufficient length such that pouch 60 can be removed from pocket 40R and held to the front of a wearer for inserting therein items for safekeeping.
Having described the invention, it can be seen that it provides a very convenient device for keeping valuables on the person while engaging in water sports.
Although a particular embodiment of the invention has been illustrated and described, various changes may be made in the form, composition, construction, and arrangement of the parts without sacrificing any of its advantages. Therefore, it is to be understood that all matter herein is to be interpreted as illustrative and not in any limiting sense, and it is intended to cover in the appended claims such modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

Traditional plan designs and cost-management strategies can unknowingly jeopardize health outcomes—and ultimately lead to greater costs down the road. This panel will reveal eye-opening examples of how current plans can get in the way of patient care, with possible cost ramifications across drug, dental, extended health and disability benefits.
Find out which pharmacy services can optimize the utilization of employee benefits, improve productivity among claimants with chronic conditions and avert spending on additional benefits, including disability claims. Pharmacies are also ideally positioned to conduct health-risk screenings for the early detection and prevention of chronic diseases.
Be among the first to learn about a package of pharmacy services recommended for coverage through health spending accounts or, possibly, as core benefits. Developed by the Pharmacy Health Insurance Steering Coalition, this package also includes a recommended usual and customary fees list.
Prescription medications are the most utilized employee health benefit, and the vast majority, are used to treat chronic conditions. Are plan sponsors achieving maximum economies of scale in terms of product cost and optimal therapy (i.e., the right drug for the right patient at the right time)? This panel summarizes the latest offerings from or facilitated by pharmacies to support the cost-effectiveness of drug benefits.
An employer or their representative (e.g., benefits consultant) and pharmacist will share their learnings following the implementation of a pharmacy-led wellness initiative for the workplace.

Ideas for increasing GWS' presence on market at minimum cost

Highlights of points so far:
Work on the supply chain - especially in the US
Alternative motor mounts to recognise majority of motors these days are b/l and radial mounted (either front or rear).
Do NOT be constrained by the need to promote GWS b/l motors - let the market choose their preference
Retracts - if they are good and you can do it for an acceptable investment.
Liquidate stocks to generate cash flow?
Plug and Play EDF units but RELIABLE and with a decent motor in 30,40,50 size?
We can all have ideas about bringing out an added value version of one of the GWS kits but what this thread needs is some focus.
GWS and GWS alone know which one (or two) models in the range they would
like to see with lifted sales. There could be a variety of reasons - it was always a good seller, it was the one with a few cents extra profit in it, it had very low defect rate coming out of the moulds so was lower unit cost to produce, etc etc
Chen, may I suggest you sit down with Mr Lin and decide which models you would most like to see a sales lift on - you don't have to declare why - but give us a clue and then we can focus on low investment value-adding suggestions applicable to that, or those, specific models.
I feel sure that the idea of upgrading the present range will give a lift to sales at lower cost than introducing new models but if I was Mr Lin I wouldn't want (and probably couldn't afford) a scattergun approach. I'd want a careful and tight focus to get one or two of the "MkII" models to market to evaluate their sales and profitability performance. If the idea works then I'm sure we can all work together to develop ideas around other products in the range till we've got them all covered.
Which would you - GWS - like them to be? NOTE to other readers - my point is that GWS have an inside track on their own production,selling and inventory costs so they, and only they, know where any investment at all is best targeted. Anyone else saying "I think it should be ....." is just blowing fluff into the works. And yes, I know I started my original thread with suggestions about the bipes but that was to get things going.
We can help GWS but we need a pointer as to where we should focus...
Having said, that if you have an LHS that can tell you which models they managed to move off the shelves quickest - over a period of time, not just with a new model launch - that might be helpful info. It's the sort of thing GWS USA should be researching daily and feeding back to GWS HQ but I'm sceptical about whether it happens...

Auckland to Houston long haul service canned 1 Jun 2012

A new direct flight from Auckland to Texas, hailed as a great development for New Zealand tourism, is being canned before it began.
Continental Airlines signalled in May 2010 that it wanted to fly from Houston to Auckland, testing the limits of Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner to open a direct route from the middle of the United States to New Zealand to compete with flights direct from Auckland to cities on the west coast.
The service was seen as a great opportunity for New Zealand to attract more visitors from the United States and was an example how new aircraft could revolutionise long haul travel to markets like New Zealand. The flight was estimated to take 13 hours and 23 minutes.
Delays to the development of the aircraft had already put back the original start date of November last year and on Friday Auckland International Airport said it had been advised by United Airlines, which has merged with Continental, that it has canned plans for the service.
Auckland International Airport chief executive Simon Moutter said United had shelved plans to expand a terminal in Houston because Houston City Council had decided to add international flights at the city's second airport, William P. Hobby Airport.
"It is very disappointing that this important new service connecting New Zealand to the Untied States has been caught up in a local Houston dispute over airports," Moutter said.
"It is equally frustrating that the delays in the delivery of the B787 aircraft have meant that the service was not already well under way by now," he said.
He said New Zealand needed more air capacity to the United States and needed more carriers flying.
"We'll continue to talk to United about options to connect with Auckland, and we will now increase our level of engagement with other carriers to explore a number of viable opportunities," he said.
At approximately 7400 miles, the new route was to be the longest from Continental's Houston hub.
Auckland Airport shares fell 0.6 percent to $2.56, while Air New Zealand's shares fell 0.6 percent to 86.5 cents.

The parents of Tayne Bowes, who drowned in a goldmine pond on Sunday, are "heartbroken" at their loss.
Tayne, 9, drowned after his father's Toyota Hilux flipped upside down in the waist-deep pond near Hokitika.
His 8-year-old sister, Keira, survived after spending nearly two hours in water in the submerged vehicle.
The children's parents, Mark and Katrina Bowes, released a statement today saying they were "devastated and heartbroken" at the loss of their son.
"Tayne was a bright and inquisitive young boy who enjoyed playing rugby and loved his sister dearly," they said.
Keira had been discharged from Grey Base Hospital and is at home with her parents.
"The family now wishes to focus on Keira's recovery and trying to come to terms with their enormous grief," the statement said.
"This is a stressful and difficult time for the family."
The parents said they appreciated the "incredible support" they have been given by their friends, family and the West Coast community.
The family will have a private funeral service for Tayne this week.
Tayne's body is expected to be returned to his family today following an autopsy.
Police said today investigators had completed their scene examination at the mine site.
Officers had hoped to interview Tayne's father today to establish the events leading to the accident, however that had been postponed until Wednesday.
Community devastated
The death of the "bubbly" boy has left the small community of Hokitika devastated.
Police had managed to save Keira, who was taken to Grey Base Hospital suffering from hypothermia after the accident.
Sergeant Russell Glue, of Hokitika, was first to the scene on Sunday and spotted the Hilux almost completely submerged in the pond.
He waded into the murky waist-deep water with Senior Sergeant Allyson Ealam to check the car, expecting both children would be drowned.
They smashed the rear window and were stunned to hear the girl call out for help.
"We didn't expect to hear that cry," Ealam said.
"I thought we were hearing things. Fortunately we weren't, and it was all on."
The girl was gasping and gulping for air, blue with cold after being submerged for so long, but Keira had managed to breathe in a small air pocket at the vehicle's rear, which was above water.
Glue pulled her out and quickly passed her to Ealam before continuing to search for her brother, desperately hoping he would follow her out, but he did not.
"I'll never forget her little face," Ealam said.
"It was like she had just woken up. She was shaking, wet and gasping."
Tayne's body was removed from the vehicle on Sunday night once it was lifted out of the pond, and his mother spent time with her son at the scene.
After watching the All Blacks win the World Cup, Tayne had been inspired to take up rugby. He had been selected for the West Coast under-10 representative team during his first year playing.
Tayne's grandfather, Murray Bowes, said his grandson was an outgoing boy.
"He was an all-round busy [boy]. He loved doing all sorts of things, but he really loved his sport. He was very good at rugby," he said.
Tayne's rugby coach, Kyle Parker, described him as a "really good kid" and a talented wing.
"He was outgoing and bubbly and well liked by all his team members," he said.
"He was a really fast, agile player and always keen to learn."
At the Kiwi Rugby Football Club breakup on Saturday night, Tayne was awarded the Sportsmanship Trophy.
Parker's wife, Caroline, said she and her husband were devastated by the tragedy.
"He was a gorgeous wee boy. It's very, very sad,'' she said.
"His mother told us the reason he started playing was seeing the All Blacks win the World Cup last year."
Tayne and Keira attended Hokitika Primary School.
Sonja Worthington, the chairwoman of the board of trustees, said the "school is very sad and it's a very difficult time for us".
"But we are a very close team and we have lots of people supporting us and our students, and our thoughts are with the family at this time," she said.
Police yesterday said it was unclear how the vehicle came to roll into the pond or whether the children's father had been in it at the time.
The children's father had taken them to the private Adair Rd goldmine, where he worked to refuel a pump.
After the accident, he initially ran toward his home but switched to a friend's place several kilometres away to alert emergency services.

Now that the outcome of one of the most anticipated Federal Reserve monetary policy meetings in history is just hours away, most investors and traders have settled on the view that the central bank will announce a plan to trim the pace of its $85 billion in monthly purchases of government and mortgage-backed securities on Wednesday. We just don't know which, if any, of the two asset classes it will focus on, and by how much it will taper what it buys each month.
ECB can claim one early victory for forward guidance
The European Central Bank can claim at least one early victory for forward guidance: forecasters have been persuaded by its promise to keep key interest rates low or lower for a long time.
Fed doves becoming an endangered species
It's official: Instead of policy doves on the U.S. central bank's Federal Open Market Committee, there are now only "non-hawks." A research note from Thomas Lam at OSK-DMG used the term in referring to recent remarks from once more dovish officials like Charles Evans of the Chicago Fed and San Francisco Fed President John Williams.
ECB's Draghi walks the line
After today's news conference we would happily endorse a new skill on Mario Draghi's LinkedIn profile: Tightrope walking.
Fed taxonomy: Lacker is a hawk, not a bull
Not to mix too many animal metaphors but, generally speaking, monetary policy hawks also tend to bulls on the economy. That is, they are leery of keeping interest rates too low for too long because they believe growth prospects are stronger than economists foresee, and therefore could lead to higher inflation.
Curious timing for Fed self-doubt on monetary policy
If there was ever a time to be worried about whether the Federal Reserve's bond-buying stimulus is having a positive effect on the economy, the last few months were probably not it. Everyone expected government spending cuts and tax increases to push the economic recovery off the proverbial cliff, while the outlook for overseas economies has very quickly gone from rosy to flashing red. But the American expansion has remained the fastest-moving among industrialized laggards, with second quarter gross domestic product revised up sharply to 2.5 percent.
Post-Jackson Hole, Fed Septaper still appears on track
With all the QE-bashing that went on at the Federal Reserve's Jackson Hole conference this year, it was difficult not to get the sense that, barring a major economic disappointment before its September meeting, the central bank is on track to begin reducing the monthly size of its bond purchase program, or quantitative easing.
The other big question at Jackson Hole
It will be a tough one to avoid. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke's absence from Jackson Hole is just one in a series of strong hints he will step down at the end of his second term in January. So, it is only natural that a lot of the talk on the sidelines of this year's conference will inevitably revolve around the issue of his replacement.
Recalculating: Central bank roadmaps leave markets lost
Central banks in Europe have followed in the Federal Reserve's footsteps by adopting "forward guidance" in a break with tradition. But, as in the Fed's case, the increased transparency seems to have only made investors more confused.
St. Louis blues: Fed's Bullard gets a sentence
Ellen Freilich contributed to this post
Talk about getting a word in edgewise. St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank President James Bullard got almost a full sentence in the central bank's prized policy statement.

Labour Party candidates are lining up to win long-serving MP Ross Robertson's golden chair.
Mr Robertson is one of Parliament's longest serving members and will have spent 27 years as an MP when he retires at this year's general election.
Now he is shifting his attention on to his new role as an Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board member.
Eight prospective candidates are hoping to win selection as the candidate for the seat.
The party will select its candidate by the end of next week.
Candidates include Otara-Papatoetoe Local Board chairman Efeso Collins, Noorie Dhillon, Anahila Kanongataa-Suisuiiki, Sunny Kaushal, Efu Koka, Jerome Mika, Jenny Salesa and Lydia Sosene.
Party members will have a chance to judge the prospective candidates at one of two Meet the Candidates question and answer sessions.
They are at 10am tomorrow at Papatoetoe Town Hall and 6pm on Wednesday at Otara's Pacific Islanders Presbyterian Church.
Entry to the meetings is restricted to members only but new members can join at the door.
The final selection meeting will be at 12.30pm on February 22 at Allan Brewster Recreation Centre.
Manukau East electorate chairman Dennis Gush expects to announce the candidate then.
"Manukau East has an unfortunate reputation for being a low wage area," he says.
"The people who receive those low wages are hurting and want a living wage. There is a mood for change and our new candidate will give people someone to rally round."

International maritime security specialist Sea Marshals Limited announced that it has gained insurance which complies with BIMCO's new Guardcon standards.
Launched this week, BIMCO's Guardcon provides an industry standard contract for the employment of security guards on ships. In particular, it addresses concerns over the relationship between the Master and the Head of the Security team on board a vessel.
The company signed documents for the policy at the end of last week to ensure that it was already in compliance with Guardcon before its industry launch.
"Sea Marshals has worked hard to make sure we comply with Guardcon," said Thomas Jakobsson, Chief of Operations for Sea Marshals. "Guardcon gives the whole industry a standard contract when using guards onboard ships. It specifies many things that a security provider has to live up to and has set a minimum standard for insurance. This 'minimum standard' is much higher than most security providers currently offer. But we are pleased to have secured insurance to make sure that we comply with all the regulations in the new Guardcon contract from the very first day."

Nelson outdoor clothing and equipment store Mountain Designs in Halifax St has fallen casualty to a decision by its Australian owners to close all its New Zealand outlets.
The company is blaming a "slow economy" for its decision and announced to customers yesterday that "difficult trading times in New Zealand" meant it was no longer viable to keep the 12 North and South Island stores open.
As many as 70 jobs around the country would be affected by the closures and the company was doing everything it could to help its employees find new work or retrain, Mountain Designs brand and marketing director Gavin Flannery said.
The manager of the Nelson store declined to comment today on how many of its staff would be affected. Flannery said the company was doing all it could to look after the staff.
"A lot of them have worked for Mountain Designs and been very passionate about their work for many years."
A "saturated" market with too much competition and a small population had left the company with little choice but to pull the pin, Flannery said. "The stores would be closed down over a gradual process, probably prior to the Christmas period, but nothing is confirmed." He said the company was still negotiating leases with landlords at all the stores.
Like many international retailers Mountain Designs had struggled to stay afloat in the New Zealand market over the last few years. "There's five or six retailers in New Zealand that do the same stuff as us and the travel and outdoors market has become saturated."
Christchurch's earthquakes, the slow economy and North Island droughts had also contributed to lost profit, he said.
Mountain Designs was established in Brisbane in 1975 by a young climber, Rick White. The brand has been operating in New Zealand for more than a decade.
The 47 retail stores across the Tasman were expected to continue to "grow and strengthen in the Australian retail market". Returns, exchanges and gift cards would be accepted from Kiwi customers, as well as special delivery options and offers through the website.

iPod Envy and Subculture
Vern Seward for The Mac Observer describes his iPod envy and the subculture that drives it.
"I know, I know… I had intended to buy one when the prices got to around US$200. The price of a new iPod still isn't there yet, but there have beenlots of decent refurb models around for well under US$200. In fact, I bought my son one for his birthday; a spiffy 10 gigger. I think he likes it, at least, he says he does. Toby lives in Southern CA so we don't see each other much and I don't know for sure if he's really using it or just saying so to be nice to his old man. If he's not, he's really missing the boat; there seems to be a California-esque subculture growing around the iPod that he, and I, are missing out on. I've had several experiences recently that will illustrate what I mean:"

Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Use of Colonoscopy in an Insured Population – A Retrospective Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Low-socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with a higher colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality. Screening with colonoscopy, the most commonly used test in the US, has been shown to reduce the risk of death from CRC. This study examined if, among insured persons receiving care in integrated healthcare delivery systems, differences exist in colonoscopy use according to neighborhood SES.
We assembled a retrospective cohort of 100,566 men and women, 50-74 years old, who had been enrolled in one of three US health plans for ≥1 year on January 1, 2000. Subjects were followed until the date of first colonoscopy, date of disenrollment from the health plan, or December 31, 2007, whichever occurred first. We obtained data on colonoscopy use from administrative records. We defined screening colonoscopy as an examination that was not preceded by gastrointestinal conditions in the prior 6-month period. Neighborhood SES was measured using the percentage of households in each subject's census-tract with an income below 1999 federal poverty levels based on 2000 US census data. Analyses, adjusted for demographics and comorbidity index, were performed using Weibull regression models.
The average age of the cohort was 60 years and 52.7% were female. During 449,738 person-years of follow-up, fewer subjects in the lowest SES quartile (Q1) compared to the highest quartile (Q4) had any colonoscopy (26.7% vs. 37.1%) or a screening colonoscopy (7.6% vs. 13.3%). In regression analyses, compared to Q4, subjects in Q1 were 16% (adjusted HR = 0.84, 95% CI: 0.80-0.88) less likely to undergo any colonoscopy and 30%(adjusted HR = 0.70, CI: 0.65-0.75) less likely to undergo a screening colonoscopy.
People in lower-SES neighborhoods are less likely to undergo a colonoscopy, even among insured subjects receiving care in integrated healthcare systems. Removing health insurance barriers alone is unlikely to eliminate disparities in colonoscopy use.

Article: Time Trends and Disparities in Lymphadenectomy for Gastrointestinal Cancer in the United States: A Population-Based Analysis of 326,243 Patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The value of lymphadenectomy in most localized gastrointestinal (GI) malignancies is well established. Our objectives were to evaluate the time trends of lymphadenectomy in GI cancer and identify factors associated with inadequate lymphadenectomy in a large population-based sample. METHODS: Using the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Database (1998-2009), a total of 326,243 patients with surgically treated GI malignancy (esophagus, 13,165; stomach, 18,858; small bowel, 7,666; colon, 232,345; rectum, 42,338; pancreas, 12,141) were identified. Adequate lymphadenectomy was defined based on the National Cancer Center Network's recommendations as more than 15 esophagus, 15 stomach, 12 small bowel, 12 colon, 12 rectum, and 15 pancreas. The median number of lymph nodes removed and the prevalence of adequate and/or no lymphadenectomy for each cancer type were assessed and trended over the ten study years. Multivariate logistic regression was employed to identify factors predicting adequate lymphadenectomy. RESULTS: The median number of excised nodes improved over the decade of study in all types of cancer: esophagus, from 7 to 13; stomach, 8-12; small bowel, 2-7; colon, 9-16; rectum, 8-13; and pancreas, 7-13. Furthermore, the percentage of patients with an adequate lymphadenectomy (49 % for all types) steadily increased, and those with zero nodes removed (6 % for all types) steadily decreased in all types of cancer, although both remained far from ideal. By 2009, the percentages of patients with adequate lymphadenectomy were 43 % for esophagus, 42 % for stomach, 35 % for small intestine, 77 % for colon, 61 % for rectum, and 42 % for pancreas. Men, patients >65 years old, or those undergoing surgical therapy earlier in the study period and living in areas with high poverty rates were significantly less likely to receive adequate lymphadenectomy (all p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Lymph node retrieval during surgery for GI cancer remains inadequate in a large proportion of patients in the USA, although the median number of resected nodes increased over the last 10 years. Gender and socioeconomic disparities in receiving adequate lymphadenectomy were observed.Journal of Gastrointestinal Surgery 01/2013; 17(4). DOI:10.1007/s11605-013-2146-0 · 2.39 Impact Factor
Article: Mo1566 Screening Colonoscopy and Risk of Incident Late-Stage Colorectal Cancer Diagnosis in Average-Risk Adults: a Nested Case-Control Study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Chinese translation The effectiveness of screening colonoscopy in average-risk adults is uncertain, particularly for right colon cancer. To examine the association between screening colonoscopy and risk for incident late-stage colorectal cancer (CRC). Nested case-control study. Four U.S. health plans. 1039 average-risk adults enrolled for at least 5 years in one of the health plans. Case patients were aged 55 to 85 years on their diagnosis date (reference date) of stage IIB or higher (late-stage) CRC during 2006 to 2008. One or 2 control patients were selected for each case patient, matched on birth year, sex, health plan, and prior enrollment duration. Receipt of CRC screening 3 months to 10 years before the reference date, ascertained through medical record audits. Case patients and control patients were compared on receipt of screening colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy by using conditional logistic regression that accounted for health history, socioeconomic status, and other screening exposures. In analyses restricted to 471 eligible case patients and their 509 matched control patients, 13 case patients (2.8%) and 46 control patients (9.0%) had undergone screening colonoscopy, which corresponded to an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 0.29 (95% CI, 0.15 to 0.58) for any late-stage CRC, 0.36 (CI, 0.16 to 0.80) for right colon cancer, and 0.26 (CI, 0.06 to 1.11; P = 0.069) for left colon/rectum cancer. Ninety-two case patients (19.5%) and 173 control patients (34.0%) had screening sigmoidoscopy, corresponding to an AOR of 0.50 (CI, 0.36 to 0.70) overall, 0.79 (CI, 0.51 to 1.23) for right colon late-stage cancer, and 0.26 (CI, 0.14 to 0.48) for left colon cancer. The small number of screening colonoscopies affected the precision of the estimates. Screening with colonoscopy in average-risk persons was associated with reduced risk for diagnosis of incident late-stage CRC, including right-sided colon cancer. For sigmoidoscopy, this association was seen for left CRC, but the association for right colon late-stage cancer was not statistically significant. National Cancer Institute of the National Institutes of Health.Annals of internal medicine 03/2013; 158(5 Pt 1):312-20. DOI:10.7326/0003-4819-158-5-201303050-00003 · 16.10 Impact Factor
