Distal arthrogryposis type I (DA1) is a disorder characterized by congenital contractures of the hands and feet for which few genes have been identified. Here we describe five-generation family with DA1 segregating as an autosomal dominant complete penetrance. Genome-wide linkage analysis using Affymetrix GeneChip Mapping 10K data from 12 affected members this revealed multipoint LODmax 3.27 on chromosome 12q. Sequencing slow-twitch skeletal muscle myosin binding protein C1 (MYBPC1), located...
Abstract Background Depression is common in Parkinson's disease (PD) but underrecognized clinically. Although systematic screening a recommended strategy to improve depression recognition primary care practice, it has not been widely used PD care. Methods The 15‐item Geriatric Scale (GDS‐15) was implemented at 5 movement disorders clinics screen patients. Sites developed processes suited their clinical workflow. Qualitative interviews with clinicians and patients provided information on...
While the Ponseti method is primary treatment for idiopathic clubfoot, its application in treating myelodysplastic clubfeet less certain. Myelodysplastic clubfoot tends to be more severe and difficult treat. Although can initially correct these cases, there conflicting evidence about recurrence rates need additional treatment. This study aims assess effectiveness of compared with over a 20-year period.
The initiation and continued use of tobacco products constitute an ongoing source preventable disease that continues to pose a significant risk global adolescent health. Scarce research has sought explore the influences two well-known environmental factors, parental supervision peer cigarette use, on genetic contributions especially in non-Western populations.
Background: Opioids are a commonly utilized component of pain management following pediatric extremity fractures, yet an increasing number adolescents and children falling victim to their negative effects. The purpose this study was examine opioid use in the fracture population by determining comparing average hospital dosage operative elbow femur fractures dose prescribed treatment fractures. Methods: All treated operatively between January December 2016 were identified. Patients aged 0 17...
Introduction: Dry eye disease (DED) is an important public health problem considering its prevalence, morbidity, and cost implications. In the last two decades, new insight on pathogenesis of dry has resulted in development novel therapeutic modalities.Areas covered: This review will discuss current emerging pharmacological modalities treatment DED to include tear supplements, anti-inflammatory therapy, antibiotics, vitamin A, other vitamins antioxidants, free amino acids, essential fatty...
Abstract Following 602 Chinese twin pairs (48% male, all Han ethnicity) from primarily lower‐than‐average socioeconomic status families early to mid‐adolescence ( M s = 12 and 15 in 2006 2009), this study investigated gene–environment interplay between perceived parental supervision, peer drunkenness, adolescent alcohol initiation. For initiation, shared environmental influences were initially negligible but became substantial. Genetic factors largely explained the links both correlates with...
A rare congenital malformation of the respiratory tract, bronchopulmonary sequestration generally presents in childhood and adolescence with recurrent pneumonia or adulthood as an incidental finding on thoracic imaging. Manifesting intrapulmonary extrapulmonary types, characteristically receives blood supply from systemic rather than pulmonary circulation. We present a 45-year-old male patient who received provisional diagnosis following routine This case describes way which may be made...
Introduction: Flexible flatfoot (FF) is a common pediatric condition that mostly asymptomatic, and surgical intervention only considered when painful FF refractory to conservative treatment. Calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) one of the most commonly used procedures address FF. Traditionally, Kirschner wires (K-wires) were for fixation, but there has been recent increase in use plates. We compared clinical radiographic outcomes these 2 fixation methods. Methods: This single-center...
Tibialis anterior tendon (TAT) transfer to the lateral cuneiform is commonly utilized treat dynamic supination for relapsed clubfoot deformity. Traditional suture button fixation (SBF) may lead skin necrosis at button/skin interface. While interference screw (ISF) would mitigate this concern, method has not been investigated in patients. This study aims investigate performance of ISF versus SBF TAT a cadaveric model. Ten matched pairs feet were obtained. One each specimen underwent using and...
Prior reports have noted an increased risk of early revision among younger patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) but been confounded by the inclusion various diagnoses. The purpose this study was to assess rate and time for THA osteoarthritis based on age. Patients with a diagnosis who underwent both primary at same institution were identified. between surgery indication collected. stratified into 2 groups age THA: 64 years or (group 1) 65 older 2). Between 1996 2016, 4662 (5543...
The Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America (POSNA) is excited to celebrate 50 years the subspecialty pediatric orthopaedic surgery in America. In 1996, Dr. Hugh Watts, POSNA historian from 1992-1999, wrote a very detailed and personal account first 25 societies (1971-1996). current members History & Archives Committee have sought expand on this historical account, with notable updates past (1996-2021). These highlights are certainly not comprehensive, but seek...
There has been minimal research regarding the clavicle’s growth and its clinical implications in late adolescent early adult population. Previous studies have evaluated postnatal clavicle to age 18 without analysing through of secondary ossification center closure. The purpose this study was (1) determine length age-related males females from 12 25 years (2) specifically analyse adolescence. This a retrospective analysis chest radiographs patients aged 12–25 years. ruler tool used measure...
Background: Telemedicine, or telehealth, is broadly defined as the use of technology to deliver health care education at distance. Synchronous communication telemedicine, which involves real time audio and video between patient provider, a developing field its in pediatric orthopaedic population not well defined. To better understand existing challenges posed by telemedicine for providers, Pediatric Orthopaedic Society North America (POSNA) practice management committee conducted survey...
Introduction: Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial condition of the tears and ocular surface. New insight on pathogenesis dry has resulted in development novel treatments. Current management paradigms vary from self-administered (e.g. artificial tears) to practitioner-administered punctal occlusion) modalities.Areas covered: In part A this series, spectrum pharmacological agents for treatment DED was reviewed. Part B discusses current emerging non-pharmacological therapeutic modalities,...
<h3>Objective:</h3> Implement depression screening using a validated instrument for people with Parkinson's (PWP) as part of standard care in the specialist movement disorders setting and evaluate feasibility. <h3>Background:</h3> The Foundation's (PF) Outcomes Project study found that substantial proportion PWP treated at select PF Centers Excellence (COE) have depressed mood don't receive mental health services. Variability suggests an opportunity to improve clinical care....
