Shape Loss of Autoclaved, Machine-Bent Cobalt-Chrome and Titanium Spine Surgery Rods
Study Design:
This was a biomechanical study.
Objective:
Shape loss of surgical spine rods has been implicated as a factor leading to postsurgical loss of alignment correction. Our objective was to compare the degree of shape loss in surgical spine rods of different compositions under physiological conditions that were bent before or after being autoclaved.
Methods:
10 CoCr and 10 commercially pure titanium (CPTi) surgical spine rods were contoured using a machine press. Five CoCr and 5 CPTi rods were bent before being autoclaved (preoperative bent group); 5 CoCr and 5 CPTi rods were bent after being autoclaved (intraoperative bent group). All rods were immersed in a phosphate-buffered saline bath at body temperature (37.2°C ± 2°C). Changes in radius of curvature were measured at different time intervals over an 8-week course using a high-definition scanner.
Results:
Each rod demonstrated shape loss in radius of curvature (range = 1.04-9.99 mm) over the duration of the study. Intraoperatively bent CPTi rods demonstrated the largest shape loss (range = 8.73-9.99 mm; median 9.33 mm; P < .01). Preoperatively bent CPTi (range = 1.04-1.71 mm; median = 1.39 mm; P < .01) and intraoperatively bent CoCr (range = 1.11-2.11 mm; median = 2.01 mm; P < .01) rods underwent the least amount of shape loss.
Conclusion:
CPTi spinal rods bent after autoclave may lead to considerable loss of alignment correction. In addition, our results suggest that preautoclave bent CPTi and CoCr spinal rods bent after autoclave may be a more ideal choice of implant because they may provide more resistance to shape loss over time.

Cognitive-behavioural coaching
Cognitive-behavioural coaching (CBC) is a focused, problem-solving, goal-directed approach. It aims to help clients to live and work more productively and achieve greater psychological and emotional well-being though change in thinking, mental activity and behaviour. The figures most strongly associated with the development of the cognitive-behavioural approach are Albert Ellis and Aaron Beck. The hot cross bun model illustrates how the cognitive processes, emotional feelings, behaviours and physiology all interact. The ultimate aim of CBC is for the client to become their own cognitive-behavioural coach. Psychoeducation has always been a key part of the cognitive-behavioural approach. Socratic questioning is used to facilitate “guided discovery” and help the client uncover their unhelpful thoughts and beliefs. Functional analysis has its roots in behaviour therapy but is part of contemporary CBC, focusing more on modifying the style of psychological response more than content.

Sparring With Minimum Equipment Lists
[...]switching to manual reversion, he wrested control of the temperature from Mr. Roboto; now oh for two. Per that day's normal routine, I conferred with dispatch and maintenance control after landing in San Diego. Because the masks stowage required a special procedure, the contracted maintenance could only push them in place and out of the way, but the masks were considered inoperable. Since I found myself the sole cockpit delegate, she was correct; I needed to look at it.
