Background: Facial symmetry is a fundamental goal of plastic surgery, yet some asymmetry inherent in any face. Three-dimensional photogrammetry allows for rapid, reproducible, and quantitative facial measurements. With this tool, the authors investigated relationship between age symmetry. Methods: The imaged normal subjects using three-dimensional photogrammetry. was calculated by identifying plane maximum root-mean-square deviation. Regression analysis used to assess Subgroup analyses were...
Abstract Background Burnout and depression among healthcare professionals trainees remain alarmingly common. In 2009, 56% of orthopaedic surgery residents reported burnout. Alcohol illicit drug use are potential exacerbating factors burnout depression; however, these have been scarcely studied in residency populations. Questions/purposes (1) What proportion report symptoms depression? (2) independently associated with an resident reporting emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, low...
A network of filaments formed primarily by the abundant cytoskeletal protein actin gives animal cells their shape and elasticity. The rheological properties reconstituted networks have been studied tracking micron-sized probe beads embedded within networks. We investigate how microrheology depends on surface particles varying stickiness surface. For this purpose, we chose carboxylate polystyrene (PS) beads, silica bovine serum albumin (BSA) -coated PS polyethylene glycol (PEG) -grafted which...
Mixed results exist regarding the benefit of orthobiologic injections. The purpose this study was to assess variability in costs for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cell (SC) injections evaluate variables that influence pricing.There will be significant cost PRP SC throughout United States.Descriptive epidemiology study.Level 3.Calls were made 1345 orthopaedic sports medicine practices across States inquiring into availability or knee associated costs. In addition pricing, practice type,...
Background Preeclampsia (PE) is a pregnancy complication defined by new onset hypertension and proteinuria or other maternal organ damage after 20 weeks of gestation. Although non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has been widely used to detect fetal chromosomal abnormalities during pregnancy, its performance in combination with risk factors screen for PE not extensively validated. Our aim was develop validate classifiers that predict early- late-onset using the plasma cell-free DNA (cfDNA)...
Background: Although the diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) is often missed, outcomes from surgical intervention significantly improve patient satisfaction. This article seeks to highlight characteristics, intraoperative findings, and both short long-term decompression in adolescent population. Methods: A retrospective chart review patients between ages 13 21 years with a clinical neurogenic (NTOS) who were treated surgically 2000 2015 was performed. Data points including...
ABSTRACT Early‐stage photoaging is characterized by skin laxity and wrinkling, which are mainly attributable to the ultraviolet (UV) irradiation‐mediated imbalance between matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) production collagen degradation. Injectable platelet‐rich fibrin (i‐PRF) a novel blood concentrate with potential effects on photoaging. Over past few decades, plasma (PRP) has been widely researched used in different clinical fields as first‐generation platelet concentrate. The aim of this...
Background: Biomedical research is essential for optimizing patient care. Research has suggested inadequacies in nonorthopaedic trainees’ understanding of study design and biostatistics. This assesses orthopaedic residents’ knowledge common biostatistical concepts, as well their confidence utilizing the medical literature. Methods: A validated survey assessing application concepts was administered to residents at 10 U.S. institutions. The tested attitudes regarding biostatistics principles....
We studied microrheological properties of $F$-actin across the isotropic-nematic phase transition region by video particle tracking (VPT) and laser deflection (LDPT). Both methods track motion thermally driven micron-sized beads, convert temporal mean square displacement (MSD) to shear moduli. The two give consistent results for elastic modulus ${G}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ less so loss ${G}^{\ensuremath{''}}$. As nematic order parameter increases with actin concentration,...
We report an abnormal slowdown of the longitudinal diffusion $F$-actin across isotropic-to-nematic phase transition region. To probe underlying physics this counterintuitive discovery, we compared F-actin, microtubules and fd virus in F-actin solutions region found markedly different from other two filament types. Also, viscous drag probed by was to increase sharply with $[{\mathrm{Mg}}^{2+}]$ nematic but not isotropic state. Based on experimental results, propose that is caused weak...
Percutaneous fixation of proximal humeral fractures places the axillary nerve and posterior circumflex artery at risk for injury. Safe operative zones are described based on external measurements from anatomic landmarks, but no study to date has incorporated advanced imaging help guide surgical procedures in region neurovascular bundle (ANVB). We sought define location trajectory ANVB relation osseous landmarks using magnetic resonance (MRI) measurements.Retrospective review 750 consecutive...
Sling immobilization is commonly used following rotator cuff repair. The purpose of this study was to determine the detrimental impact sling usage on mobility and balance in an older adult population through validated gait testing. authors hypothesize that use will negatively affect stability.
Introduction: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) plays a vital role in providing life support for patients with reversible cardiac or respiratory failure. Given the high rate of complications and difficulties associated caring ECMO patients, goal this study was to compare outcomes orthopaedic surgery polytrauma who received similar have not. This will help elucidate timing type fixation that should be considered on ECMO. Methods: A retrospective cohort collected from electronic...
Key Clinical Message This study reports a Chinese male patient with novel MeCP2 p.Lys254*variant. Upon birth, the presented typical symptoms, such as abnormal electroencephalogram, immature sleep rhythm, hypotonia, feeding difficulties, pulmonary fluid accumulation, horizontal fissures in lungs, hypoventilation, and heart defects. Abstract is gene located on X chromosome main pathogenic responsible for Rett syndrome, which mainly occurs females. Herein, we identified p.Lys254* variant...
Background: Medial sesamoidectomy has been reported to be a safe and effective means of treating range pathologies including chronic sesamoiditis fracture nonunion. The purpose this case series is determine common clinical indications for medial evaluate the postoperative course outcomes. Methods: A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients who had isolated from 2009 2018. Demographics, comorbidities, physical exam variables, operative findings, radiographic measurements hallux...
Objective To compare screw fixation strength for subtalar arthrodesis. Methods Eight matched pairs of cadaver feet underwent joint arthrodesis with two 7.3mm cannulated screws. Randomization was used to assign orientation, such that one foot in each pair assigned dorsal plantar orientation (DP Group), and the other foot, (PD Group). Standard surgical technique fluoroscopy approach. Following fixation, specimen loaded failure a Bionix [...]
