The purpose of this article is to evaluate the technical and clinical outcomes 194 patients with 500 osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (VCFs) consecutively treated by percutaneous vertebroplasty, investigate long-term efficacy determine frequency new VCFs after vertebroplasty.One hundred ninety-four (168 women 26 men; mean age, 73.3 years; range, 44-89 years) (T5-L5) were enrolled in study. Evaluation at each follow-up time point (1 day, 1 month, 4 months, year, then once yearly)...
We tested a hypothesis that low-load squat training with slow movement and tonic force generation (LST) would increase muscle size strength but not necessarily power. Healthy young men were assigned to LST [50% one-repetition maximum (1-RM) load, 3 s for lowering/lifting without pause: n=9] or normal speed (LN: 50% 1-RM 1 1-s pause; n=7) groups. Both groups underwent an 8-week program (10 repetitions/set, sets/day, days/week) using the methods. Before after intervention, quadriceps femoris...
OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to compare the incidence and location cement leakage in percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic compression fractures with without intravertebral clefts.
[Purpose] To investigate the relationships between toe flexor muscle strength with (TFS-5-toes) and without (TFS-4-toes) contribution of great toe, anatomical physiological cross-sectional areas (CSA) intrinsic physical performance were measured. [Subjects] Seventeen men (82% sports-active) 17 women (47% sports-active), aged 20 to 35 years, volunteered. [Methods] Anatomical CSA was measured in two muscles (flexor digitorum brevis [FDB] abductor hallucis) by ultrasound. Muscle volume length...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the utility metallic stents for treating central airway stenosis caused by malignant tumors. subjects were 72 patients (16 women, 56 men; mean age, 61 years; age range, 28–87 years) treated with dyspnea due tracheobronchial stenotic lesions tumors between May 1990 and August 2010. underlying disorder primary lung cancer in 42 patients, metastatic 29, mediastinal tumor one patient. In 69 (95.8%), began improve following completion procedure. average...
PurposeTo compare radiation exposure of nurses when performing nursing tasks associated with interventional procedures depending on whether or not the called out to operator before approaching patient.Materials and MethodsIn a prospective study, 93 radiology were randomly divided into call group no-call group; there 50 in 43 group. Two monitoring badges used calculate effective dose nurses. In group, nurse first told she was going approach patient each time about do so. did say anything...
It is unknown whether body size and shape parameters can be predictors for estimating whole fat-free mass (FFM) in male athletes. This study aimed to investigate variables FFM Using a whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scanner, fat (FM) were determined 132 athletes 14 sedentary males. The sample was divided into two groups: validation (N = 98) cross-validation 48) groups. Body height (BH), (BM), waist circumference at immediately above the iliac crest (W) measured. BM-to-W W-to-BH...
This study aimed to analyze factors influencing accuracy and complications in patients who underwent computed tomography (CT)-guided lung biopsy at our medical center.This included all 107 (72 men, 35 women; mean age, 69 years; range, 41-83 years) CT-guided between January 2006 October 2009. CT fluoroscopy was used 45.7% of cases. Final diagnosis, when surgical resection performed, histopathological diagnosis from the lesion specimen, not clinical after ≥6 months follow-up. The assessed by...
The objective of our study was to investigate the effects percutaneous vertebroplasty on respiratory function in patients with compression fractures caused by osteoporosis.Ninety-eight (87 women, 11 men; mean age, 74 years; age range, 60-90 years) 75 thoracic (Th7-Th12) and 89 lumbar (L1-L5) vertebrae were enrolled this study. Percentage vital capacity (VC%), percentage forced (FVC%), expiratory volume 1 second (%FEV1) measured using a spirometer before, day after, month after...
Summary Previous studies have investigated the relationship between ultrasound‐measured muscle thickness (MT) and individual cross‐sectional area (CSA); however, forearm had not yet been studied. The purpose of this study was to examine MT by ultrasound CSA obtained magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Ten young middle‐aged adults both MRI measurements at 30% distance from styloid process ulna head radius. Handgrip strength (HGS) also measured. Strong correlations ( P <0·001) were observed...
Massive hemobilia caused by hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is an uncommon but potentially fatal complication that can occur after biliary intervention. Previous intervention or surgery, atherosclerotic disease, inflammation and even anatomic variants may make the inaccessible to transcatheter approach, therefore it not always feasible. The present report describes a case of successful embolization with N-butyl cyanoacrylate via direct puncture as alternative approach. presentation followed...
Several reports have described portopulmonary venous anastomosis (PPVA). However, in balloon-occluded retrograde transvenous obliteration (BRTO), attention has not been paid to paradoxical embolism. The objective of this study was investigate the existence a right-left shunt due PPVA when drainage vein is occluded by balloon during BRTO.The subjects were 19 patients who underwent BRTO. Whether present confirmed on venography (BRTV). After BRTV, bolus injection 20 mL carbon dioxide (CO2 ) via...
An 81-year-old man with previously diagnosed cancer of the pancreatic body presented melena and anemia. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy showed gastric varices bleeding in entire stomach. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography identified a splenic vein occlusion resulting from invasion by dilated collateral pathways hilum to fundus. The patient was associated left-sided portal hypertension caused obstruction underwent percutaneous transsplenic embolization n-butyl-2-cyanoacrylate mixed...
It remains unknown whether a regimen of combination high- and low-intensity resistance training increases muscle size maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) simultaneously. This study aimed to clarify the effect on neuromuscular function in elbow flexors. Sixteen male adults participated 9-week joint flexion each arm. We randomly assigned two different regimens left right arms: one aiming strengthen strength (ST) other develop as well strength, which consists volitional failure with...
Purpose: To determine the correlation of rate change each future remnant liver (FRL) before and after portal vein embolization (PVE), by CT volumetry Tc-99m galactosyl human serum albumin scintigraphy (GSA scintigraphy). Material methods: From December 2007 to July 2012, ten patients underwent PVE hepatic resection. GSA were performed PVE. The FRL was divided at Cantlie's line for volumetry, volume rates calculated. maximum removal (Rmax) calculated using a radiopharmacokinetic model in...
