Diagnosing a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) requires complex approach using various laboratory and clinical criteria. A novel to diagnosing these infections uses synovial fluid biomarkers. Alpha defensin-1 (AD-1) is one such synovial-fluid biomarker. However little known about the performance of AD-1 assay in diagnosis PJI.We sought (1) determine sensitivity specificity population patients being evaluated for PJI, Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria as reference standard,...
Previous studies have demonstrated that the administration of antibiotics to patients before performing diagnostic testing for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can interfere with accuracy test results. Although a single-institution study has suggested alpha-defensin maintains its concentration and sensitivity even after antibiotic treatment, this not yet been in larger multiinstitutional study.(1) For evaluation PJI, is prior associated decreased levels? (2) When are given, better...
Wound complications following resection of a localized soft tissue sarcoma have been associated with lower extremity location, large tumor volume, and use preoperative radiation. Some these wounds, however, show the potential for healing local wound care nonsurgical techniques. We are unaware any published data establishing factors nonhealing wounds that ultimately treated or free vascularized transfer.The purpose this study was to determine variables development significant complication...
There is interest in novel synovial fluid biomarkers for the detection of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Here, we assessed diagnostic accuracy 23 simple or sophisticated hip knee detection. One hundred seven subjects were studied, 57 whom had aseptic failure (AF) and 50 PJI. The following tested using spectrophotometric assays, immunoassays, lateral flow tests, test strips: leukocyte count, monocyte percentage, lymphocyte neutrophil C-reactive protein (CRP), glucose, lactate,...
Debridement and implant retention (DAIR) has variable success as a treatment for acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), with generally poor outcomes reported in the literature
Surgical treatment of lower extremity sarcoma often requires complete resection muscle compartments resulting in disabling functional loss. Free transfer has been used to restore function the face and upper extremities, but few reports exist describing restoration a extremity. A case report 21-year-old man requiring quadriceps musculature with successful reconstruction using free latissimus dorsi flap is described.
We describe nine patients who had total hip arthroplasty failure [titanium alloy monolithic stem, cobalt-chromium head (32 mm or 36 mm), highly cross-linked polyethylene liner, metal socket] related to wear debris generated at the trunnion. Symptoms included pain with onset 2.9 years after THA. Preoperative serum cobalt ion levels were elevated [mean 8.8 ng/ml (normal < 0.9 ng/ml)] and higher than chromium 1.2 0.3 ng/ml)]. All debridement of periarticular soft tissues, stem retention,...
To cool a high mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at GaAs–AlGaAs heterojunction to milliKelvin temperatures, we have fabricated low resistance Ohmic contacts based on alloys of Au, Ni, and Ge. The typical contact RC≈0.8 Ω 4.2 K, which drops 0.2 below 0.9 K. Scanning microscope images establish that the same inhomogeneous microstructure has been observed in previous studies. Measurements RC, four-terminal along top single contact, vertical RV all show there is superconductor can be...
