10 patients (6 females and 4 males with an average age of 75 years) with stable angina pectoris were treated transdermally with mepindolol in a balanced, randomized, controlled, crossover study to compare the anti-ischemic effects of 12-hour overnight, and 24-hour applications. The number of angina pectoris attacks, the oral nitrate consumption and the ischemic parameters in 24-hour ECG, i.e. episodes of manifest (MMI) and silent (SMI) myocardial ischemia, the total duration of ischemia and 24-hour heart rate profiles were investigated. Both application schemes showed typical systemic beta blocker effects in all patients and significant clinical efficacy. A dose/effect relationship and a time/effect relationship between the two different application schemes were demonstrated across all the parameters investigated. Systemic and local tolerance of the therapy was good. 2 patients showed transient, mild skin irritation, but only during one phase of the study. Premature discontinuation was not necessary in any cases. There were no relevant changes in the clinical-chemistry. The new therapeutic concept of 24-hour treatment for a. pectoris with 12-hour overnight transdermal applications showed both good clinical efficacy and a good safety profile.

The construction of an intestinal stoma is fraught with complications and should not be considered a trivial undertaking. Serious complications requiring immediate reoperations can occur, as can minor problems that will subject the patient to daily and nightly distress. Intestinal stomas undoubtedly will dramatically change lifestyles; patients will experience physiologic and psychologic detriment with stoma-related problems, however minor they may seem. Common complications include poor stoma siting, high output, skin irritation, ischemia, retraction, parastomal hernia (PH), and prolapse. Surgeons should be cognizant of these complications before, during, and after stoma creation, and adequate measures should be taken to avoid them. In this review, the authors highlight these often seen problems and discuss management and prevention strategies.
