Diastasis of the rectus abdominis muscle is a common condition. There are no generally accepted criteria for diagnosis or treatment diastasis muscle, which causes uncertainty patient and healthcare providers alike.The consensus document was created by group Swedish surgeons based on structured literature review practical experience.The proposed as follows: (1) diagnosed at clinical examination using caliper ruler measurement. Diagnostic imaging ultrasound other modality, should be performed...
Seventy-five women, of whom 30 had received postoperative radiotherapy, were tested for range motion (ROM) and shoulder strength with a goniometer an isokinetic device (Orthotron II), respectively. On the individual level, irradiated patients exhibited significantly reduced (varying from p < 0.05 to 0.001) all movements compared non-operated side. In contrast, in non-irradiated only flexion was (p 0.05). The same pattern evident where except external rotation 0.001). Non-irradiated...
The subcutaneous distribution and number of Pacinian corpuscles were studied in ten fresh cadaver hands. They found to cluster close nerves vessels at the metacarpophalangeal joints proximal phalanx. total mean hand was 300 (192–424). percentage 44 60% fingers, 23 48% area 8 18% thenar hypothenar regions. Corpuscles palmar skin overlying distal phalanx smaller than receptors area. lowest density along middle
Abstract During nerve growth, axons are dependent upon contact with matrix components, such as laminins, for elongation, guidance, and trophic support. Semiquantitative in situ hybridization histochemistry immunohistochemistry (IHC) were used to identify laminin chains normal peripheral nerves, during postnatal development, after sciatic transection (SNT), crush (SNC). Laminin α2, α4, β1, β2, γ1 chain mRNAs all expressed at high levels newborn rat nerves declining later developmental stages....
Implant-based reconstruction is performed in the majority of women offered primary for breast cancer.Two different expander implants were compared prospectively. The endpoint was number operations needed each group to obtain patient satisfaction. Secondary endpoints evaluation volume and shape aspects quality life. Seventy consecutive cancer patients randomized either a one-stage with round permanent implant (Becker 25; n=35) or two-stage crescent-shaped (LV 133; n=35), later replaced by...
The prognostic significance of early response to treatment has not been reported in relapsed pediatric acute myeloid leukemia. In order identify an and easily applicable factor allowing subsequent modifications, we assessed leukemic blast counts the bone marrow by morphology on days 15 28 after first reinduction 338 patients international Relapsed-AML2001/01 trial. Both day status was classified as good (≤20% blasts) 77% patients. correlation between percentages significant, but strong...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Surgery for Abdominal Rectus Diastasis (ARD) is a controversial topic and some argue that it solely an aesthetic problem. Many symptoms in these patients are indefinite, no objective criteria have been established, indicating which likely to benefit from surgery. This study investigated the correlation between preoperative assessment intraoperative measurement of ARD width, measurements muscle strength....
Background: The Poly Implant Prothèse incident and breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma have pointed to the need for uniform registries implants as key features monitoring outcomes of implant surgeries internationally. purpose this study was identify harmonize common data elements collected by across International Collaboration Breast Registry Activities (ICOBRA) global consortium. Methods: authors convened an international group surgeons, consumers, nurses, registry...
Myeloid leukemia of Down syndrome has a better prognosis than sporadic pediatric acute myeloid leukemia. Most cases are characterized by additional cytogenetic changes besides the constitutional trisomy 21, but their potential prognostic impact is not known. We, therefore, conducted an international retrospective study clinical characteristics, cytogenetics, treatment, and outcome 451 children with syndrome. All karyotypes were centrally reviewed before assigning patients to subgroups. The...
To investigate the validity and reliability of Biodex system 4 in assessment abdominal strength patients with rectus diastasis, we studied 10 healthy volunteers diastasis more than 3 cm. We assessed test-retest at 30o 60o extension/flexion spinal angles, respectively, isometric muscle without girdle. Reliability was calculated using interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Validity evaluated by International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) a visual analogue scale (VAS) for...
The rates of soft tissue reconstruction and amputation after open tibial fractures have not been studied on a national perspective. We aimed to determine the frequency coverage fracture as well primary secondary rates.Data all patients (> = 15 years) admitted hospital with were extracted from Swedish National Patient Register (1998-2010). All surgical procedures, re-admissions, mechanisms injury analysed accordingly. risk was calculated using logistic regression (adjusted for age, sex,...
Symptoms arising from giant ventral hernia have been considered to be related weakening of the abdominal muscles. The aim this study was investigate relationship between area wall defect and muscle strength measured by validated BioDex system together with a back/abdominal unit. Fifty-two patients (>10 cm wide) underwent CT scan, clinical measurement size prior surgery. areas derived scan were compared forces in modalities extension, flexion isometric contraction. Spearman rank test used...
Repair of large incisional hernias includes the implantation a synthetic mesh, but this may lead to pain, stiffness, infection and enterocutaneous fistulae. Autologous full-thickness skin graft as on-lay reinforcement has been tested in eight high-risk patients proof-of-concept study, with satisfactory results. In multicenter randomized use was compared mesh giant ventral hernia repair. Non-smoking > 10 cm wide were repair using an autologous or mesh. The primary endpoint surgical site...

Repair of giant incisional hernia often requires complex surgery and the results conventional methods using synthetic mesh as reinforcement are unsatisfactory, with high recurrence complication rates. Our hypothesis was that full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) provides an alternative material for repair outcome is improved. The aim this study to compare FTSG materials currently used in hernia. A prospective randomised controlled trial conducted, comparing (> 10 cm minimum width) One-year...
Growing awareness about breast implant-related adverse events has stimulated the demand for large, independent data resources. For this, from implant registries could be combined. However, that never been achieved yet.Real-world four currently active national were used. All permanent implants Australian, Dutch, Swedish, and American included. A subpopulation present across all between 2015 2018 was subsequently selected, including only inserted during primary surgery reconstruction or...
The aim of this study was to define the indicators predicting improved abdominal wall function after surgical repair rectus diastasis (ARD). Preoperative subjective assessment quantified by validated Ventral Hernia Pain Questionnaire (VHPQ) related relative postoperative functional improvement in muscle strength.Fifty-seven patients undergoing surgery for ARD completed VHPQ before surgery. pain results were compared with strength measured BioDex system 4.There a correlation between System 4...
Background: Abdominal rectus diastasis can lead to functional disability. There is no consensus regarding treatment. This was a prospective study on patients randomized surgery using either Quill self-retaining sutures or retromuscular mesh for abdominal repair. The primary aim of the compare long-term recurrence after surgery. Secondary aims were muscle strength, pain, and quality life. Methods: A total 57 eligible 52 investigated. routine 1-year follow-up ruled out any patient with this...
