This article summarizes the benefits and limitations of various approaches anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rehabilitation, more specifically a conservative or traditional rehabilitation approach versus accelerated approach. The model is considered one with return to sport at 9 months later time-based criteria, an defined as goal by 6 months. Although there are some similarities between 2 types key differences exist will be highlighted. Additionally, we discuss criteria-based return-to-sport...
Abstract Objectives/Hypothesis The purpose of this study is to compare collateral tissue damage and wound healing in incisions created by electro‐dissociation conventional electrosurgery. Conventional electrosurgery has been used as an alternative the scalpel improve hemostasis. However, heat generated instrument can cause surrounding incision, limiting its use around nerves large blood vessels. A new technology, Coblation (Arthrocare Corp., Sunnyvale, CA), uses “electro‐dissociation”...
Abstract Objective To evaluate the integration of AlloDerm (LifeCell Corp., The Woodlands, TX) in a field exposed to external‐beam radiation (EBR) by analyzing graft thickness, fibroblast recellularization, and neovascularization. Study Design Randomized control. Methods Thirty‐six male Sprague‐Dawley rats (n = 36) were randomly assigned four groups. One hind leg each rat was 20 Gy EBR; other limb served as nonirradiated Two weeks after irradiation, implanted into both legs. Grafts harvested...
Islet amyloid is hypothesized to play a role in nonimmunologic transplanted islet graft loss. We performed quantitative histologic analysis of liver biopsies from intrahepatic grafts streptozotocin-induced diabetic cynomolgus macaques. Seven animals treated with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and rapamycin or ATG rituximab experienced rejection lymphocytic infiltrates present on biopsies. Except for one case involving the oldest largest donor where was initial biopsy 1 month after transplant,...
Objective Sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma (SNUC) is an aggressive neoplasm, with conflicting existing literature regarding prognosis and treatment due to the rarity of disease. Characterization optimal SNUC management necessary for improved outcomes. Study Design Case series planned data collection analysis. Setting Hospital University Pennsylvania Hospital. Participants Patients pathologically confirmed treated within a 15-year period were identified, records obtained evaluated several...
The study examined preoperative clinical characteristics that can be used to predict secure inferior margins of glottic squamous cell carcinoma extending toward the cricoid cartilage when performing organ preservation surgery larynx.The was retrospectively performed using 31 serially sectioned whole-organ total laryngectomy specimens with associated data.Histopathologic and variables including true vocal cord (TVC) fixation, cricoarytenoid joint invasion, subglottic extension (SGE) tumor,...
Abstract Background. Paragangliomas are uncommon neuroendocrine tumors. In the head and neck, they most commonly seen at carotid body, temporal bone, or along vagus nerve. Sinonasal paragangliomas extremely rare. Most cases reported describe management by open surgical resection, with sublabial and/or transfacial approaches. Methods. We present a case of large sinonasal paraganglioma successfully managed endoscopic resection. Results. The patient has no evidence recurrence after 4 years...
Minimally invasive spine (MIS) techniques have been available for many years, but their application has largely limited to degenerative diseases. There are few reports in the literature of using MIS removal neoplasms. We report our experience a modified technique an occipital-cervical junction (OCJ) schwannoma with attention technical aspects this approach.A 64-year-old male presented several months neck pain radiating shoulder bilateral hand numbness. The patient had evidence early...
Dry needling is most commonly used in the subacute and chronic phases of an injury; therefore, it imperative to understand use dry acute injury. There are four main reasons during phase injury: relieve pain, decrease edema, increase range motion flexibility, strength power. can be pregame, postgame, half time or intermission, following Although further research needed, bolster athletes' health possibly improve sports performance.
PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions are a subset of partial rotator cuff tears that commonly treated by surgeons. Multiple surgical techniques exist for managing these lesions, including debridement, transtendinous repair, and completion the tear repair. Each provides its own set advantages disadvantages, currently there is no consensus on which method best clinical outcomes or ease procedure. Here, we present our repair technique involves bursal split takes...
The purpose of this article is to identify gold standards care for return sport following athletic injury, investigate overlooked aspects rehabilitation, and provide expert opinion regarding current practices. was written by performing a literature review, then providing editorial sport. We concluded, through review consensus, that three-pronged approach recommended therapists. These three prongs are ROM, strength, hop testing. Cardiovascular readiness psychological must also be assessed."
The hostile immune environment created by allotransplantation can accelerate pathologic tissue remodeling. Both overt and indolent inflammatory insults propel this remodeling, but there is a paucity of tools for monitoring the speed severity remodeling over time. This retrospective cohort consisted n = 2,167 digitized heart transplant biopsy slides along with records prior events future allograft outcomes (cardiac death or vasculopathy). Utilizing computational pathology analysis, images...
Scoliosis causing neurologic deficit is rare. Nonoperative treatment has been shown to be unsuccessful in reversing the condition or preventing further progression. Surgical intervention using Hyndman-Schneider approach (costotransversectomy and apical pedicle resection) decompresses spinal cord by transposing it into concavity of deformity. Although a demanding procedure with significant risks, lateral transposition preferable provide full recovery successful cases.
