Electrophysiological observations made in the hands of a group 16 rock-drillers were compared with 15 controls. Motor and sensory conduction velocities median ulnar nerves together latency, duration, amplitude evoked action potentials measured. The differences between groups statistically significant mainly amplitude, especially potentials. Measurement velocities, general, proved to be less sensitive, only change observed was velocity nerve when first digit right hand stimulated. most...
Injury to subchondral bone is associated with knee pain and osteoarthritis (OA). A percutaneous calcium phosphate injection a novel approach in which marrow edema lesions are percutaneously injected phosphate. In theory, provides structural support while it gradually replaced by bone. However, little clinical evidence supports the efficacy of injections.We asked: (1) Does improve validated patient-reported outcome measures? (2) What proportion patients experience failure treatment (defined...
A prospective longitudinal study was carried out to investigate the occurrence of upper limb disorders in an electromechanical plant between 1980 and 1988. It included clinical epidemiological studies, measurement vibration produced by power tools used, ergonomic assessment works time motion studies. Simultaneously during same period remedial actions were taken through multidisciplinary interventions when specific causal factors known. The shows entities disorder, identifies risk evaluates...
A combined epidemiological and clinical study of vibration-induced white finger (VWF) was carried out involving 115 men in four fluorspar mines. The overall prevalence VWF found to be 50% among 42 vibration-exposed subjects, while that constitutional (CWF) 5-6% all studied. latent interval 1-19 years with a mean 5-6 years. An association observed between the exposure time stages which included 18 Stage 0, three intermediate 0T/0N, five 2 16 3; no were seen at 1. Among those 3, index, middle...
Twenty-eight patients with partial thickness skin loss of the limbs, mainly due to burns, were treated on an out-patient basis in occupational health centre. Thirteen porcine graft and other 15 by conventional method paraffin gauze. The results showed that median healing time was 13 days group 28 control group. Other than time, effects xenograft reducing pain, infection sickenss absence far greater those treatment. From a comparison total dressing costs, it estimated for lesions comparable...
<h3>Background</h3> Previous studies investigated the overall mechanical strength of vertebral body; however, limited information is available on biomechanical properties different regions within endplate and cancellous bone. In addition, correlation between various density measurements has not been studied yet. <h3>Methods</h3> Thoracic (T10) vertebrae were harvested from fifteen human cadaveric spines (average age: 77 years old). Twelve cylindrical cores 7.2 mm (diameter) by 3.2 (height)...
A double-blind, controlled clinical study with benzydamine hydrochloride 3% cream was conducted in an Occupational Health Centre on fifty patients soft tissue injuries (two mild, ten moderate and thirteen severe cases the placebo group one twelve active group). The trial demonstrated significant therapeutic superiority of over inactive all six qualitative parameters for traumatic inflammatory changes at end a six-day assessment marked improvement symptoms even two days after onset therapy....
With a recurrence rate of over 30%, techniques that offer stronger acromioclavicular (AC) joint reconstruction through increased graft strength may provide longevity. The purpose our study was to determine the biomechanical novel tendon sutured throughout compared native in Grade 3 anatomical AC reconstruction.For this vitro experiment, nine paired (n = 18) embalmed cadaveric joints three males and six females (age 86 years, range 51-94 years) were harvested. Anatomic repair with fresh...
To investigate the incidence of youth ice hockey-related concussions preceding and following implementation new body-checking head contact rules by USA hockey in 2011. We hypothesized a decrease after rule change.Retrospective analysis.United States emergency department (ED) data queried National Electronic InjurySurveillance System (NEISS).National Injury Surveillance reported male (≤18 years) concussion cases from January 1, 2002, to December 31, 2016. In total, 848 players were diagnosed...
We investigated impact of vertebral axial rotation on neurovascular anatomy in adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients and provided recommendations the approach based degree rotation. In order to isolate (VR) from superimposed degenerative cascade observed adulthood, adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) were analyzed.Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (L1-S1) 50 right-convex thoracic (left-convex lumbar) AIS analyzed. At each intervertebral level, VR, lumbar plexus depth (LPD), vascular...
Reports of long-term evaluation the viability femoral head after a hemiresurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) are scarce. We report case 41-year-old female with lupus and right HRA (performed 24 years previously for avascular necrosis) that was revised to total hip worsening groin pain due chondrolysis. present histologic resurfaced retrieved HRA. To authors' knowledge, this is longest reported follow-up such case. There no evidence fracture or inflammation underlying bone viable. At 5-year...
Vertebral compression fractures represent one of the most common injuries resulting from osteoporosis with an incidence rate 700,000 per year in United States[1]. We investigated biomechanical shear strength different regions tenth thoracic (T10) vertebra six human cadaveric spines. observed a significant increase central to peripheral cancellous bone and endplate. There was strong positive correlation between material density (measured by Archimedes' principle) elemental (r <sup...
Financial ties between the medical industry and healthcare professionals have a long history. This relationship is vital to innovations in patient care. However, it feared that such relationships may pose conflict of interest influencing education, research, even decisions regarding Also, this might be contributing rising costs. Most journals require physicians disclose conflicts when publishing their research results. To increase transparency shed light on often under-reported physicians,...
Prior studies have not found significant differences in meniscal parameters between patients with and ligamentous injury those without. The purpose of this study was to determine whether such relationships exist. Clinical records magnetic resonance images three subject groups were reviewed. Group 1 solely had tears (medial/lateral), 2 concurrent ACL tears, 3 healthy knees. mean age subjects included 35.9 years (range 8.2-72.6). height, width, diagonal, slope, cross-sectional area for the...
The structure and functions of a depth-sense esthesiometer have been described. Unlike the prototype designed by Renfrew, new instrument is so fabricated that speed directions its movements, pressure applied finger, can be constantly controlled. In addition, it provides an automatic measurement thresholds with greater accuracy. Thirty-three normal subjects nine patients were examined both instruments. With all hands, as expected, showed results, but, Renfrew instrument, 12 these 66 hands...
An average of 70% all Americans will suffer from one episode low back pain (LBP) in their lifetime [1]. Senescence the avascular nucleus pulposus with decreased transport nutrients is thought to lead degenerative disc diseases (DDD) and [2-5]. We investigated relationship between aging, cartilage endplate microvasculature, level degeneration. Lumbar discs adjacent endplates were harvested three fresh young bovine embalmed human cadaveric spines. After tissue processing, histology, staining,...
