Background Treatment of the multiligament-injured knee remains controversial. Purpose To compare clinical and functional outcomes a consecutive series knees that underwent repair fibular collateral ligament (FCL) posterolateral corner (PLC), followed by delayed cruciate reconstructions, with those had single-stage multiligament reconstruction. Study Design Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods Patients injury treated single surgeon were identified in our prospective database. Between...
Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether the physical properties and vascular environment active myofascial trigger points associated with acute spontaneous cervical pain, asymptomatic latent points, palpably normal muscle differ in terms point area, pulsatility index, resistivity as measured by sonoelastography Doppler imaging. Methods Sonoelastography performed an external 92-Hz vibration upper trapezius muscles patients pain at least 1 palpable (n = 44). area reduced...
To report the impact on overall survival of lymphadenectomy and ovarian preservation in patients with endometrial stromal sarcoma.Data were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program 1988 to 2005. Kaplan-Meier Cox proportional hazards analyses used identify possible predictors for survival.Nine hundred seventy women reported sarcoma. The 384 low-grade sarcoma had a younger age, earlier stage, longer than 320 high-grade lesions. Among patients, incidence extrauterine...
Presents a new imaging method based on the classical Hall effect (HE), which describes origin of detectable voltage from conductive object moving in magnetic field. HE images are formed using ultrasound techniques These reflect electrical properties sample. To demonstrate feasibility this method, plastic and biological samples collected. The contrast mechanism signal-to-noise issues discussed. Since parameters vary widely among tissue types pathological states, may be useful tool for...
The role of frozen section (FS) in intraoperative decision making for surgical staging endometrial cancer is controversial. Objective this study to assess the agreement rate between FS and paraffin (PS); potential impact intra-operative complete low risk cancer.This a retrospective analysis patients diagnosed with stage I, grade I or II from 1995-2004. results were compared final pathology regard tumor grade, depth myometrial invasion, cervical involvement, lymphovascular lymph node...
Myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) are palpable, tender nodules in taut bands of skeletal muscle that painful on compression. MTrPs characteristic findings myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). The role the pathophysiology MPS is unknown. Localization, diagnosis, and clinical outcome measures can be improved by objectively characterizing quantitatively measuring their properties. goal this study was to evaluate whether ultrasound imaging elastography differentiate symptomatic (active) from normal...
Carcinosarcomas (malignant mixed Mullerian tumor) of the female genital tract are rare tumors associated with poor outcome. The objective this study was to identify site-specific differences by comparing carcinosarcomas originating in uterus and ovaries.Data on patients uterine ovarian were extracted from Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results database between 1988 2005. Kaplan-Meier log rank Cox proportional hazards models used for survival analysis identification possible predictors...
Objective To determine whether standard evaluations of pain distinguish subjects with no from those myofascial syndromes (MPS) and active trigger points (MTrPs) to assess self‐reports mood, function, health‐related quality life differ between these groups. Design A prospective, descriptive study. Setting University. Patients Adults without neck pain. Methods We evaluated adults MPS (painful) MTrPs Subjects in the “active” (A) group had at least one MTrP spontaneous that was persistent,...
Abstract Background Sulforaphane (SFN), an isothiocyanate phytochemical present predominantly in cruciferous vegetables such as brussels sprout and broccoli, is considered a promising chemo-preventive agent against cancer. In-vitro exposure to SFN appears result the induction of apoptosis cell-cycle arrest variety tumor types. However, molecular mechanisms leading inhibition cell cycle progression by are poorly understood epithelial ovarian cancer cells (EOC). The aim this study understand...
Background Golf provides an opportunity for relatively low-impact exercise nearly all age groups and is considered a recommended activity patients after total knee arthroplasty. Hypothesis We hypothesized that arthroplasty would afford increased ability to participate in enjoy golf, allowing large percentage of these walk the golf course. Study Design Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods Surveys were sent 151 golfers who had undergone primary from 1995 2000. The detailed survey included...
Our objectives were to develop a new, efficient, and easy-to-administer approach ultrasound elastography assess its ability provide quantitative characterization of viscoelastic properties skeletal muscle in an outpatient clinical environment. We sought show validity utility assessing myofascial trigger points, which are associated with pain syndrome.Ultrasound imaging was performed while the externally vibrated at frequencies range 60 200 Hz using handheld vibrator. The spatial gradient...
Osteochondritis dissecans lesions of the knee in adult patients frequently require surgical intervention. However, ideal method osteochondral fragment fixation remains uncertain.This study was undertaken to determine clinical, functional, and radiographic outcomes bioabsorbable for unstable osteochondritis involving femoral condyles skeletally mature patients.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Skeletally with an lesion condyle (Ewing Voto stages II-IV) treated internal minimum 1-year follow-up...
A well designed feeding system is very important to ensure the better quality of castings. Design also involves decision about correct location risers and number be used. For new castings or having high rejection rates, modification design prime importance. These modifications are done manually which huge time, cost other resources. Casting simulation can effectively overcome these difficulties provide powerful tool for prediction process growth. Simulation existing provides location/s...
Introduction: Acupuncture is commonly used to treat chronic pain. Patients often access public social media platforms for healthcare information when querying acupuncture. Our study aims appraise the utility, accuracy, and quality of available on YouTube, a popular platform, acupuncture pain treatment. Methods: Using search terms such as "acupuncture pain" relief", top 54 videos by view count were selected. Included > 1 minute duration, contained audio in English, had 7000 views, was related...
