The suture configurations in arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs have been limited to simple and horizontal stitches. Recent objective evaluations demonstrated high failure rates of tears. A novel stitch for repair the cuff, massive stitch, was developed increase strength suture-tendon interface. goal this study determine biomechanical properties compare it with other stitches commonly used repair.Eight pairs sheep infraspinatus tendons were harvested split half yield a set four tendon...
Red blood cells (RBCs) undergo numerous changes during storage; however, the clinical relevance of these storage "lesions" is unclear. We hypothesized that duration transfused RBCs associated with mortality after repeat sternotomy for cardiac surgery, because patients are at high risk both RBC transfusion and adverse outcome. retrospectively analyzed 434 who underwent median coronary artery bypass graft or valve surgery received allogeneic RBCs. Three-hundred-twenty-one (74%) met criteria...
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the feasibility, safety, and potential benefit of faster hemostasis with distal transradial artery access (TRA). Background TRA has been shown to be associated lower bleeding vascular complications. Limited data are available regarding new technique accessing radial in anatomical snuffbox. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 202 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography intervention TRA. Two hundred six conventional cases were...
Abstract: Background: Liver transplantation for inherited metabolic disorders aims to save the patient's life when disorder is expected progress organ failure, and cure underlying defect. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed 146 pediatric liver transplants (28 metabolic; 118 non‐metabolic) performed between 1986 2000. Results Twenty‐eight were in 24 children with disease (8 females; 16 males; age range 3 months 17 yr). Indications included α−1‐antitrypsin deficiency (n = 8), two cases each...
Purpose: Conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (LA) is more commonly performed than transumbilical single port (TUSPLA). In this report, we a prospective randomized study comparing the outcomes of LA and TUSPLA. Methods: Between April 14, 2009 June 10, 2009, 40 patients who required appendectomies were randomly selected to receive either TUSPLA or LA. None these had perforation abscess. Twenty received other 20 The clinical visual analog pain scores (VAS) compared between groups....
Intussusception is one of the common causes intestinal obstruction in children but uncommon adults. Unlike pediatric intussusception, most adult cases have a demonstrable etiology. The purpose this study was to review our experience intussusception and identify predictive factors for malignancy disease.We retrospectively reviewed medical records patients who were diagnosed with admitted six Hallym University-affiliated hospitals between January 2005 July 2016.The 77 had mean age 50.5 years...

We sought to compare the use of transradial peripheral angiography guide retrograde revascularization below-the-knee (BTK) lesions using tibiopedal access (TPA).
Objectives To determine circulating levels of antibodies (IgA, IgM, IgG1-4) in individuals with SCI as compared to uninjured individuals.Study Design Prospective, observational study.Setting Outpatient clinic a Department Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation research institute an academic medical center.Participants Individuals chronic (≥ 1 year from injury) individuals.Outcome Measures Serum antibody titers were determined by commercial multiplex ELISA.Results Blood samples collected (N =...
The purpose of this study is to report the results simultaneous pancreas-kidney (SPK) transplantations and describe lessons learned from early experiences a single center.Between January 2002 June 2013, total 8 patients underwent SPK transplantation. Clinical radiologic data were reviewed retrospectively.Seven diagnosed with type I diabetes mellitus one patient became insulin-dependent after undergoing pancreatectomy because trauma. Pancreas exocrine drainage was performed by enteric in 4...
A 52-year-old woman underwent a right frontotemporal craniotomy for microsurgical clip obliteration of ruptured dorsal variant ophthalmic segment carotid aneurysm. During the craniotomy, defect involving orbital roof was inadvertently created. The patient noted postoperatively to have fluid egressing from her OD. analyzed and based on glucose chloride levels determined be cerebrospinal (CSF). CT scan head demonstrated created during surgery. After placement lumbar drain, egress eye...
Case 1 •A 41-year-old man was brain death with convulsions caused by amphetamine drug intoxication. His initial serum creatinine level 1.63 mg/dl and the urine output rapidly decreased severe metabolic acidosis. At 3 days after admission, he treated for continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) due to oliguria acidosis •But his function not recovered So. family agreed donate organs decision committee held in hospital. •Liver lung transplantation decided KONOS but regarding use of kidney...
The aim of this study is to compare the quality-of-life (QOL) outcomes and tibio-pedal arterial pressure post-endovascular intervention.Physiological assessment peripheral lesions infrequently performed during endovascular interventions.We retrospectively reviewed all 343 patients with intermittent claudication who underwent an intervention via artery access from October 2018 May 2021. baseline post-intervention pressures pedal sheaths were measured. QOL was assessed using a pre-validated...
<h3>Objective:</h3> Parafalcine meningiomas are located in the central longitudinal sulcus and difficult to access intraoperatively. Endovacular embolization reduces surgical complications blood loss highly vascular when supply is out of visualization. We present a case successful middle meningeal artery (MMA) resection large bifontral lobe parafalcine meningioma. <h3>Background:</h3> NA <h3>Design/Methods:</h3> A 51-year-old male with history bipolar disorder, thyroid papillary carcinoma,...
Background: New onset diabetes is a common complication after kidney transplantation. However, the clinical course of posttransplant mellitus (PTDM) remains unclear. The aim present study to analyze natural courses and risk factors PTDM according time onset. Methods: A total 216 consecutive transplant recipients were enrolled patient medical records investigated retrospectively. was defined as glucose ≥126mg without previous diabetic history. Patients classified (12 months): early (E-PTDM)...
