Abstract Neuromas are a substantial cause of morbidity and reduction in quality life. This is not only caused by disruption motor sensory function from the underlying nerve injury but also debilitating effects neuropathic pain resulting symptomatic neuromas. A wide range surgical therapeutic modalities have been introduced to mitigate this pain. Nevertheless, no single treatment option has successful completely resolving associated constellation symptoms. While certain novel techniques shown...
The eruption of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH) volcano on 15 January 2022 injected large amounts water vapor (H2O) directly into stratosphere. While normal background levels stratospheric H2O are not detectable in radio occultation (RO) measurements, effects HTHH clearly observed as anomalous refractivity profiles from COSMIC-2, suggesting possibility detecting signal. To separate temperature and refractivity, we use co-located observations Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) to constrain a...
In pilot work, we showed that somatic nerve transfers can restore motor function in long-term decentralized dogs. We continue to explore the effectiveness of reinnervation 30 female After anesthesia, 12 underwent bilateral transection coccygeal and sacral (S) spinal roots, dorsal roots lumbar (L)7, hypogastric nerves. Twelve months postdecentralization, eight transfer obturator branches pelvic vesical branches, sciatic pudendal nerves, followed by 10 mo recovery (ObNT-ScNT Reinn). The...
INTRODUCTION: Efforts to treat pain by reducing the excitability of nociceptors (first order pain-sensing neurons), have focused on NaV1.7 sodium channel, since loss SCN9A (gene for NaV1.7) leads congenital insensitivity pain, whereas gain-of-function mutation causes severe painful syndrome familial erythromelalgia. Despite these genetic mutations and their distinct phenotypes, pharmacologic Nav!.7 targeting has not been a successful strategy. Most conditions are focal, yet most treatments...
Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) radio occultation (RO) receivers onboard the recently-launched COSMIC-2 (C2) constellation provide an unprecedented number of high vertical resolution moisture profiles throughout tropical and subtropical atmosphere. In this study, distribution variability water vapor was investigated using specific humidity retrievals from C2 observations compared to collocated ERA5 MERRA-2 reanalysis within 40°N 40°S September December 2019, which is prior...
Abstract Understanding the impact of deep convection on thermodynamic structure tropical upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UTLS) is vital because temperatures play an important role in regulating stratospheric water vapor through direct convective injection enhancing presence thin cirrus clouds, both which a significant climate. This study quantifies UTLS vertical temperature changes near over Pacific Warm Pool Tropical Atlantic Continental Oceanic region. The observed from Rainfall...
Abstract Background Despite the importance of informed consent in healthcare, readability and specificity forms often impedes patients’ comprehension. Health literacy is linked to patient outcomes, making it essential address these issues. This study investigates use GPT-4 simplify surgical introduces an AI-human expert collaborative approach validate content appropriateness. Methods Consent from multiple institutions were assessed for simplified using GPT-4, with pre- post-simplification...
ABSTRACT Introduction Targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) has demonstrated efficacy for treatment of neuropathic pain. This study aims to identify patients whom delayed TMR may be most effective and associated factors favorable pain outcomes in this patient population. Methods An analysis was conducted on prospectively enrolled amputee who underwent at a tertiary care center from 2017 2024. Data demographics, comorbidities, surgical details, were collected. Patient reported severity 0–10...
Lapse rate tropopause (LRT) heights in the extratropics have been shown to display a bimodal distribution, with one modal maxima above 15 km (typical of tropical tropopause) and other below 13 extratropical tropopause). The climatology is studied by characterizing bimodality how it relates occurrence double tropopauses (DTs). LRT are derived from Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, Climate (COSMIC) GPS Radio Occultation temperature profiles 2006 2017. Tropopause...
