This study quantified the effects of supraglottic maneuver (SGM) and super (SSGM) on laryngeal pharyngeal movements before during swallow. Simultaneous videofluoroscopic videoendoscopic examinations oropharyngeal swallowing were performed in eight healthy volunteers with without maneuvers. Data analysis compared 1) temporal relationships events, 2) airway conditions at time selected 3) biomechanical computer events. Using these maneuvers, normal subjects produced earlier cricopharyngeal...
Predicting the risk of recurrence is great interest when counseling patients after primary lateral patellar dislocation (LPD).To investigate a multivariate model to predict individual recurrent LPD.Case-control study; Level evidence, 3.The study population included with LPD, knee imaging, and minimum 2-year follow-up nonoperative treatment. Data including patient characteristics anatomic instability factors were collected retrospectively from 7 national centers. Bivariate regression analyses...
The purpose of this study was to determine the temporal characteristics and patterns glottic closure during normal swallow using concurrent videofluoroscopy videoendoscopy.Three swallows each four bolus types were examined in eight healthy volunteers with endoscope two positions: at level uvula laryngeal vestibule. Data analysis compared: (1) relationships between behaviors oropharyngeal events (2) airway conditions time key events.Although arytenoid adduction subsequent contact occurred as...
Understanding the normal function of Huntingtin (HTT) protein is significance in design and implementation therapeutic strategies for Huntington’s disease (HD). Expansion CAG repeat HTT gene, encoding an expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) within protein, causes HD may compromise HTT’s activity contributing to pathology. Here, we investigated previously defined role autophagy specifically through studying association with ubiquitin. We find that interacts directly ubiquitin vitro. Tandem affinity...
Interindividual variation in running and cycling exercise economy ( EE ) remains unexplained although studied for more than a century. This study is the first to comprehensively evaluate importance of biochemical, structural, physiological, anthropometric, biomechanical influences on within single study. In 22 healthy males VO 2 max range 45.5‐72.1 mL·min −1 ·kg ), no factor related skeletal muscle structure (% slow‐twitch fiber content, number capillaries per fiber), mitochondrial...
Nine physically active males were studied three times with four different exercise tests after administration of placebo, 0.1 g atenolol, or 0.08 propranolol in random order. The test modals were: bicycle ergometer at 50% V̇O2max, peak torque during knee extension, the Wingate muscle power test, and 2000 m track running. Muscle fiber composition had previously been determined. In subjects a high percentage slow-twitch fibers β-blockers caused more marked impairment exercising muscles. This...
The J-shaped bone graft procedure is one of the recommended methods to reconstruct significant glenoid rim defects.To evaluate long-term (minimum 10-year) clinical outcomes and show further details remodeling effects on articular cavity after grafting.Case series; Level evidence, 4.A total 14 patients treated with a were observed clinically. Additionally, bilateral preoperative postoperative follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans used for CT-osteoabsorptiometry (OAM) bony processes.The...
Purpose Ellipsoid zone (EZ) and outer retinal integrity are strongly linked to visual prognosis, but quantitative normative data is lacking. This study evaluates the EZ, retina, inner retina in eyes without macular disease across a wide age spectrum. Methods An IRB-approved was performed for pathology undergoing Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SD-OCT) scans on Cirrus HD-OCT system (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Oberkochen, Germany). Scans were analyzed using previously described...
Epidemiological studies on tennis injuries are mainly conducted in either elite professional or junior players. Injury patterns might differ the recreational player.To investigate acute tennis-playing population with an additional focus that require surgical treatment.Case series; Level of evidence, 4.A retrospective data analysis was among patients who sustained injury between January 2013 and December 2018 had treatment administered at a single university hospital. Demographic data,...
Only few methods treating comminuted radial head fractures have been established providing sufficient joint reconstruction, restoring length and enabling early mobilization. When an anatomical reconstruction using open reduction internal fixation is not possible, resection or primary arthroplasty often conducted. An "Ex situ/on-table" widely disregarded but can be option. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional radiological outcome treated with "on-table" a low profile...

Awareness of well-being and health issues have contributed to increased popularity sauna bathing. However, little is known about potential risks injuries. The aim this study was identify the causes for injuries, affected body regions define recommendations prevention.A retrospective chart data analysis conducted among patients treated an injury related bathing at local trauma centre Medical University Innsbruck between January 1, 2005 December 31, 2021. Patients' demographics, cause injury,...
Summary. Six well‐trained men were studied while performing a maximal bicycle exercise. The seven experiments included in this study randomized double‐blind cross‐over fashion. On each occasion the subjects given either placebo or 40, 80, 160 mg propranolol (non‐selective blockade) 25,50, 100 atenolol (β 1 ‐selective blockade). After completion of subject had performed once under treatments. Heart rate, oxygen uptake (V̇ o 2max ), blood lactate and performance time to exhaustion measured. A...
The cost-effectiveness of rituximab in combination with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide (R-FC) for the first line treatment chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) was evaluated. Based on long-term clinical data (follow-up 5.9 years) from CLL8-trial, a Markov-model three health states (Free disease progression, Progressive disease, Death) used to evaluate cost per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) and life years gained (LYG) R-FC perspective German statutory insurance (SHI). addition FC chemotherapy...
