Chronic wounds present a large burden to our healthcare system and are typically marked by failure transition out of the inflammatory phase wound healing. Venous leg ulcers (VLUs) represent largest portion chronic wounds. A pilot study eleven (11) patients with VLUs seen over 12-week period was undertaken utilizing RNA sequencing biopsies plasma cytokine levels determine if biomarkers could be identified that would distinguish between which heal versus those do not. were found have increased...
Sleep disturbance, especially obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and inadequate sleep, adversely affect various health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) domains in adults. Few studies have addressed problems with HR-QoL children OSA or sleep-related symptoms.Patients between ages 5 to 17 years who were referred the laboratory from June 2017 August for overnight polysomnography approached participate study.A total 86 patients included final analysis; 45 (52.3%) male; median (interquartile range)...
Chronic venous insufficiency with and without ulceration is a common complication of varicose veins. Heinz-Lippmann disease potentially underreported chronic that involves heterotopic ossification the peri-wound might contribute to chronicity leg ulcers. Most commonly, associated traumatic injury. We report cases three patients no history trauma who were found have subcutaneous calcifications consistent disease. Osteomyelitis was confirmed in two patients. Physical examination diagnostic...
Background: Social media has become ubiquitous; its uses reach beyond connecting individuals or organizations. Many biomedical researchers have found social to be a useful tool in recruiting patients for clinical studies, crowdsourcing cross-sectional and even as method of intervention. usefulness research largely been population health non-surgical specialties, however, surgical specialties should not overlooked. Specifically plastic surgery, use understand patient perceptions, identify...
Introduction: Anastomotic leak is a devastating complication after colorectal surgery. There paucity of data on non-gastrointestinal complications anastomotic in this population. We aimed to investigate complications, as well causes major morbidity and mortality following resection hypothesized that are sizable proportion the overall Methods: used ACS NSQIP database, searched for CPT codes procedures with primary anastomosis between 2015-2019. The cohorts (anastomotic vs. no-leak) were...
Purpose: Duplex scanning is a useful noninvasive screening tool for the detection of carotid bifurcation disease. Internal artery (ICA) peak systolic velocity (PSV) and ICA/common (CCA) PSV ratios are proven metrics determining 70%-99% ICA stenosis. A potential disadvantage using dramatically increasing measurements in areas critical arterial stenosis flow aliasing. Diastolic should be less influenced by this artifact. We evaluate CCA end diastolic (EDV) predicting severe document prevalence...
