Elastin plays a pivotal role in lung development. We therefore queried if elastin haploinsufficient newborn mice (Eln(+/-)) would exhibit abnormal structure and function related to modified extracellular matrix (ECM) composition. Because mechanical ventilation (MV) has been linked dysregulated elastic fiber formation the lung, we also asked haploinsufficiency accentuate growth arrest seen after prolonged MV of neonatal mice. studied 5-day-old wild-type (Eln(+/+)) Eln(+/-) littermates at...
Mechanical ventilation with O2-rich gas (MV-O2) inhibits alveologenesis and lung growth. We previously showed that MV-O2 increased elastase activity apoptosis in lungs of newborn mice, whereas inhibition by elafin suppressed enabled Pilot studies suggested reduces expression prosurvival factors phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor (pEGFR) Krüppel-like 4 (Klf4). Here, we sought to determine whether arrest evoked reflect disrupted pEGFR-Klf4 signaling, which treatment preserves,...
Postdischarge convalescence after traumatic rib fractures remains unclear. We hypothesized that patients with fractures, even as an isolated injury, have associated poor quality of life (QoL) discharge.We prospectively enrolled adult at our level I trauma center between July 2019 and January 2020. assessed QoL 1 3 months discharge using the Trauma-specific Quality-of-Life (T-QoL; 43-question survey evaluating five domains on a 4-point Likert scale, where 4 indicates optimal 1, worst QoL)...
This research study compares the self-reported pain levels of geriatric vs nongeriatric patients with rib fractures.
Purpose To evaluate the different causes of painful hip following total replacement. Material and method The varied range cases seen in two hospitals. Result There are myriad pain most important related to replacement, namely, loosening infection. But, there other aetiologies, which either coincidental or may be original cause pain. These include trochanteric bursitis, pubic fracture, degenerative diseases lower lumbar spine metastases. Plain films inconsistent demonstrating these...
PURPOSE: Autoimmune connective tissue disorders (CTDs) have been shown to predispose breast reconstruction patients adverse postoperative outcomes, such as wound dehiscence and lengthy hospitalizations.1–3 Given recent advancements in implant-based techniques, we aimed characterize alloplastic complications with without underlying CTDs nationally. METHODS: This population-based retrospective cohort study used 2017–2018 data from the Healthcare Cost Utilization Project (HCUP) National...
