An unbalanced microbiome may lead to disease by creating aberrant immune responses. A recent association of cellular rejection with the development interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) suggests role immune-mediated tissue injury. We hypothesized that developing IFTA correlates altered urinary tract microbiomes (UMBs). UMBs at two serial time points, 1 6–8 months posttransplant, were assessed 16S microbial ribosomal gene sequencing in 25 patients biopsy-proven compared 23...
Background: The incremental biological changes in the synovial microenvironment of shoulder acute and chronic instability that may contribute to joint degeneration are poorly understood. Proteomic analysis fluid patients with improve our understanding proteins shed into after an injury. Hypothesis: Injury-specific factors such as direction severity glenoid humeral bone loss associated proteome instability. Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Methods: Synovial lavage samples were...
Interference screws are used as back-up fixation in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. Historically these were composed of metal, but recently surgeons have switched to using bioabsorbable they cause less symptoms and biomedically advantageous. Usually absorbed by the body within one two years after surgery.A 32-year-old male presented with aseptic extrusion his intact tibial interference screw eight following successful reconstruction.Patient underwent laboratory evaluation...
Previous studies have examined the impact of resiliency on postoperative outcomes in other orthopedic domains, but none to date done so for hand surgery.We performed a retrospective analysis prospectively collected data patients undergoing surgery at single institution. We included with complete preoperative scores and 6-month follow-up. All completed Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand (DASH) Score, Quick (QuickDASH), Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12),...
Ulnar dysmelia is a congenital anatomic disorder characterized by abnormal development of the ulna and subsequent distal bones. This rare has heterogeneous presentation in patients described literature. We present case 23-year-old woman with ulnar who lacked attachments transverse carpal ligament developed tunnel syndrome at relatively young age, requiring release. report presents an interesting unique cause reviews literature on dysmelia.
