Background/hypothesis Shoulder pain in elite swimmers is common, and its pathogenesis uncertain. Hypothesis/study design The authors used a crosssectional study to test Jobe’s hypothesis that repetitive forceful swimming leads shoulder laxity, which turn impingement pain. Methods Eighty young (13–25 years of age) completed questionnaires on their training, function. They were given standardised clinical examination, tested for glenohumeral joint laxity using non-invasive electronic...
Adipose tissue is an attractive source of cells for therapeutic purposes because the ease harvest and high frequency mesenchymal stem (MSCs). Whilst it clear that MSCs have significant potential via their ability to secrete immuno-modulatory trophic cytokines, use mixed cell populations from adipose stromal vascular fraction (SVF) becoming increasingly common.In this study we measured a panel 27 cytokines growth factors secreted by various combinations human adipose-derived populations....

To determine the interobserver and intraobserver reliability of interpretation MRIs for supraspinatus tendinosis.In trial, 52 athletes' shoulders were observed by 3 observers on one occasion within a 2-month period. All images read most experienced musculoskeletal radiologist different occasions separate days without access to previous readings trial. Supraspinatus tendinosis was graded using modified 4-point scale from grades 0 grade 3.The grading MRI-determined reliable, having an...
To evaluate the effectiveness of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) for improvement lower limb bone stress injuries in a civilian population.A prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial to compare LIPUS with placebo.Civilian private practice population Sydney, Australia.Subjects were recruited if grade II-IV injury was diagnosed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) either postero-medial tibia, fibula or second, third, fourth metatarsal. Subjects all levels sporting...
Osteoarthritis (OA) can be a debilitating degenerative disease and is the most common form of arthritic disease. There general consensus that current nonsurgical therapies are insufficient for younger OA sufferers who not candidates knee arthroplasties. Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy treatment slow progression lead to neocartilage formation. The mechanism action secretion driven. Current clinical preparations from adipose tissue include autologous stromal vascular...
To describe an alternative method of dislocated shoulder reduction and to investigate its success rate when used at a ski resort setting.A prospective observational study.Medical center Australia's largest during the seasons 1994, 1995, 1996 (June through early October). The is primary care private practice.There were 199 patients with anterior shoulders who presented center. One patient was excluded from study because spontaneous clothing removal.Patients had upper body removed, seated in...
