Abstract Background and Objectives To investigate the prevalence of upper limb dysfunction (ULD) subtypes after breast cancer surgery to identify factors associated with late ULD. Methods Among 191 enrolled patients, were evaluated at 3 months, 187 6 183 12 months surgery. Pain, shoulder range motion, muscle strength, arm circumference assessed. Based on symptoms physical examinations, types ULD common treatment diagnosed categorized. Results The 24.6%, 20.9%, 26.8% 3, 6, respectively. most...
Objective To evaluate quality of life (QOL), upper extremity function and the effect lymphedema treatment in patients with breast cancer related lymphedema. Method The basic data comprised medical records (detailing age, sex, dominant side, location tumor, stage, operation record, limb circumferences) questionnaires (lymphedema duration, satisfaction, self-massage). Further to this, we measured QOL, administered DASH (Disabilities Arm Shoulder Hand outcome measure) used EORTC (European...
The authors examined the effect of psychological and emotional status on outcome in patients with suspected chronic discogenic low-back pain (LBP) who have undergone lumbar fusion.The retrospectively analyzed medical records, including results 36-item Short Form (SF-36), 57 consecutive (mean age 42.7 years) underwent single-level reconstructive surgery between 1994 2000. SF-36 physical component summary (PCS) mental (MCS) domains were evaluated. Data sorted into following categories:...
Purpose The purpose of this study was to assess clinical practice and barriers associated with cancer rehabilitation from the perspective Korean physiatrists. Materials Methods All active members Academy Rehabilitation Medicine were invited complete an online survey developed after focus group discussions. Results A total 97 physiatrists (72 males 25 females) in Korea completed survey. Of these, 77% reported familiarity term 'cancer survivors.' More than 50% respondents that they provided...
Although numerous studies have identified potential risk factors for ipsilateral lymphedema development in patients with breast cancer following axillary node dissection, the undergoing sentinel biopsy without dissection remain unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine real-world incidence and such patients.
Physical function is known to decrease after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), with the most substantial impairment noted at 90 days post-transplantation. Little about natural course of physical during acute post-transplant period preciously. The aim study was monitor changes in through serial evaluations function, and identify effect on QoL period.This prospective cohort included 41 patients admitted for planned autologous or allogeneic HSCT. evaluated de Morton Mobility Index...
PURPOSE Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) has become a standard axillary staging surgery for early breast cancer, and the proportion of patients requiring dissection (ALND) is decreasing. We aimed to evaluate association between number sentinel nodes (SLNs) retrieved risk lymphedema ipsilateral arm. METHODS Prospectively collected medical records 910 were reviewed. Lymphedema was defined as difference in circumference > 2 cm compared contralateral arm and/or having clinical treatment...
In Brief Study Design. Retrospective outcome measurement after circumferential reconstructive surgery with lumbar fusion in patients chronic discogenic low back pain. Objective. To examine the effect of number levels on surgical outcomes pain using provocative pressure-controlled diskography as a primary diagnostic tool. Summary Background Data. Although there is general agreement that construct length adversely affects arthrodesis success rates, has not been reported. Previous studies have...
Abstract: Intradiscal electrothermal annuloplasty (IDET) is an effective treatment for chronic discogenic low back pain (LBP). However, efficacy of IDET the referred leg has not been examined. This study was performed to assess long‐term in LBP patients. Data were retrospectively analyzed as case series from January 1999 December 2000. The procedure at 1–3 symptomatic levels confirmed by pressure‐controlled discography. General outcome evaluated Visual Analog Scale (VAS). and assessed...
We provide compelling experimental evidence for a spin-conserving energy-transfer process via localized excitations as being responsible the observed optical spin injection in $\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{Mn}\mathrm{Se}∕\mathrm{Zn}\mathrm{Cd}\mathrm{Se}$ quantum structures. show that such is common and inherent to diluted magnetic semiconductor because of strong potential fluctuations.
To test two questions raised by a previous study: whether high and steeply rising intra-articular (IA) pressure achieved controlled fluid infusion would be specific to the painful stiff shoulder (PSS) rupture occurs immediately after appearance of third phase so that it could considered as preruptural sign.Case series.University Outpatient Clinic Physical Medicine Rehabilitation.Fourteen PSS patients who had limited range motion in at least 2 directions for more than month were participants,...
Background: Breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) of the upper extremities often follows breast cancer treatment. Although complex decongestive therapy (CDT) is currently standard treatment for BCRL, stellate ganglion block (SGB) has also been reported to be effective. Objectives: This study aimed determine effectiveness SGB in and assess impact on quality life (QoL) compared CDT. Study Design: A randomized controlled trial. Setting: single academic hospital, outpatient setting. Methods:...
Transient magneto-optical spectroscopy of InGaN∕GaN and InGaN∕GaMnN quantum wells reveals a spin relaxation process with characteristic time 50 ps. We show that the observed is mediated by flips individual carriers rather than direct exciton flips, proposed to occur near bottom band (K=0). Nearly complete thermalization between sublevels excitons, immediately after pulsed photoexcitation, attributed even faster photogenerated hot carriers/excitons accompanying momentum energy at high K vectors.
