Inhibiting mitochondrial oxidant production after surgical fixation of an intra-articular fracture prevents osteoarthritis in a porcine model.
A retrospective, observational cohort study.In patients undergoing lumbar spine arthrodesis, we sought to establish perioperative trends in chronic versus naive opioid users (OUs) and identify modifiable risk factors associated with prolonged consumption.The morbidity excessive use for conditions continues climb has been identified as a national epidemic. Limiting after procedures such fusion remains health strategy.A commercial claims dataset (2007-2015) was queried all anterior interbody...
Traffic-related air pollution in urban areas contributes significantly to commuters' daily PM2.5 exposures, but varies widely depending on mode of commuting. To date, studies show conflicting results for exposures based commuting, and few compare multiple modes transportation simultaneously along a common route, making inter-modal comparisons difficult. In this study, we examined breathing zone six different commuting (bicycle, walking, driving with windows open closed, bus, light-rail...
Background: The lumbosacral hemicurve in adult spinal deformity (ASD) is a compensatory mechanism attempting to balance the main curve. Previous reports have examined correction via various techniques. Purpose: We perioperative coronal and sagittal plane for both curve utilizing deformity-correcting bilateral transforaminal interbody fusion technique (bTLIF). Methods: Patients (n = 79) who had bTLIF from single center with scoliosis (Cobb angle ≥ 20°), underwent primary fusion, were included...
Study Design. Retrospective, observational. Objective. The aim of this study was to define the impact preoperative chronic opioid therapy (COT) on outcomes following cervical spine fusions. Summary Background Data. Opioid is a commonly practiced method control acute postoperative pain. However, concerns exist relating use prescription opioids, including inherent risk abuse, tolerance, and inferior major surgery. Methods. A commercial dataset queried from 2007 2015 for patients undergoing...
Background: Postoperative complications and substantial loss of physical function are common after musculoskeletal trauma. We conducted a prospective randomized controlled trial to assess the impact conditionally essential amino acid (CEAA) supplementation on skeletal muscle mass in adults operative fixation acute fractures. Methods: Adults who sustained pelvic extremity fractures that were indicated for at level-I trauma center enrolled. The subjects stratified based injury characteristics...
Abstract Background and Objectives Evidence regarding the impact of sarcopenia on operative outcomes in patients with sarcoma is lacking. We evaluated relationship between postoperative complications or mortality among undergoing tumor excision reconstruction. Methods retrospectively reviewed 145 treated limb reconstruction for extremities. Sarcopenia was defined as psoas index (PI) < 5.45 cm 2 /m men <3.85 women from preoperative axial CT. Regression analyses were used to assess...
Study Design. Retrospective, observational study. Objective. To examine the influence of patient, hospital, and procedural characteristics on hospital costs length stay (LOS). Summary Background Data. Successful bundled payment agreements require management financial risk. Participating institutions must understand potential cost input before entering into these episodes-of-care contracts. Elective anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF) has become a popular target for early bundles given...
Objective: Immobilization and inadequate nutrition after high-energy trauma result in loss of lean muscle mass. Body composition [percent body fat (%BF), mass (FM), fat-free (FFM)] is traditionally quantified with techniques that require expensive equipment and/or ionizing radiation. The purpose this study was to assess reliability validity amplitude-mode (A-mode) ultrasound (US) quantify for use a randomized clinical trial assessing interventions prevent young individuals musculoskeletal...
The purpose of this study was to determine the reliability military-relevant tests designed assess soldier readiness. Forty-seven soldiers (46 men, 1 woman; 22 ± 3 years; 80.4 11.7 kg) performed each seven readiness on four different occasions over course 8 weeks. were: (1) 3.2-km load carriage (LC) time-trial, (2) running long jump (RLJ), (3) one-repetition maximum box lift (1RMBL), (4) 10-minute repetitive and carry (RBLC), (5) simulated victim rescue (VR), (6) mock grenade throw (GT) for...
Background: Sacropelvic fixation is a continually evolving technique in the treatment of adult spinal deformity. The 2 most widely utilized techniques are iliac screw and S2-alar-iliac (S2AI) 1–3 . use these at base long fusion constructs, with goal providing solid to maintain surgical correction, has improved rates decreased revision 4 Description: procedure performed patient under general anesthesia prone position 3D computer navigation based on intraoperative cone-beam computed tomography...
Sharp, MA, Hendrickson, NR, Staab, JS, McClung, HL, Nindl, BC, and Michniak-Kohn, BB. Effects of short-term quercetin supplementation on soldier performance. J Strength Cond Res 26(7): S53–S60, 2012—The purpose was to assess the effects aerobically demanding In a double-blind crossover study, 16 male soldiers performed 3 days exercise under conditions: Baseline (B), Placebo (P), Quercetin (Q). Day 1 treadmill V[Combining Dot Above]O2peak test. Days 2 were identical, consisting 75 minutes...
This was a retrospective cohort study.The objective of this study to clarify the association between preoperative albumin status and mortality morbidity in lumbar spine surgery.Hypoalbuminemia is known marker inflammation associated with frailty. Hypoalbuminemia an identified risk factor for following surgery metastases, yet has not been well studied among surgical cohorts outside metastatic cancer.We patients serum laboratory values who underwent at US public university health system 2014...
Retrospective, observational study.To examine the costs associated with nonoperative management (diagnosis and treatment) of cervical radiculopathy in year prior to anterior discectomy fusion (ACDF).While operative treatment have been previously described, less is known about leading up surgery.The Humana claims dataset (2007-2015) was queried identify adult patients that underwent ACDF. Outcome endpoint assessment cumulative per-capita for diagnostic (x-rays, computed tomographic [CT],...
Retrospective Cohort Study.Postoperative ileus (POI) is a common complication following elective spinal surgeries. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence POI and identify demographic surgical risk factors for developing after instrumented fusion thoracolumbar spine.The University Utah Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved retrospective study. does not require informed consent given data reviewed deidentified collected in accordance with institution's standard care.
