Background/Objectives: Zika virus (ZIKV) infection is associated with life-threatening diseases in humans. To date, there are no available FDA-approved therapies or vaccines for the specific treatment prevention of ZIKV infection. Variation envelope protein (Env), along its complex quaternary structure, presents challenges to synthetic approaches developing an effective vaccine and broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs). We hypothesized that beta-cyclodextrin (BCD) could be used uniquely...
A Substantial Clinical Benefit (SCB) value is the amount of change in a patient-reported outcome measure required for patient to feel they significantly improved from an intervention. Previously published SCB values are often cited by researchers when publishing outcomes data. Where these set can have large impact on conclusions drawn study citing them. As such, goal this was determine generalizability procedure stratified time surgery and geographic region.A nationwide database utilized...
Recently, there has been increasing legalization of marijuana within the United States, however data are mixed with respect to its efficacy in treating acute pain. Our goal was identify a difference opioid utilization patients known cannabis use before anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) compared those that report no use.This study retrospective case-control design using PearlDiver. Patients who underwent single level ACDF between January 2010 October 2020, were included. placed...
This study examined occupational noise within two rearing facilities at a production fish hatchery and evaluated simple reduction techniques. Ambient levels in the tank room ranged from 50 dB absence of flowing water to over 73 when was all 35 tanks under typical operating procedures. Covering open standpipes did not significantly reduce levels. However, placing partial covers top above inlet reduced levels, both with without use standpipe covers. Noise salmon building rose 43.2 any 77.5 six...
Isolated hip fractures are a common orthopedic injury in the elderly population. Estimates that there will be over 21 million globally by 2050. Current recommendations early operative fixation within 48 hours. Despite evidence showing of 24 hours is beneficial population, effect this has on nonagenarian population yet to examined.This single institution retrospective cohort study examining isolated from 2014 2020 an American College Surgeons verified trauma center. Patients ≥65 years old...
The utilization of ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and same-day discharge (SDD) from hospital-based (HBCs) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) continues to increase. There remains a paucity literature directly comparing patient-reported outcomes by site. We sought compare between patients undergoing THA at an ASC versus HBC while controlling for medical comorbidities.
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to describe the long-term outcomes anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps free tendon autograft (QFT) in terms subjective function, clinical outcomes, and knee satisfactionMethodsA retrospective chart review design prospective descriptive survey used determine for patients treated a QFT-ACLR from 2000-2013. Patients multi-ligament reconstructions were excluded. The primary (re-injury indexed knee, ACL injury contralateral after...
Failure of a subscapularis repair construct after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty can result in difficulty with internal rotation and an increased likelihood dislocation. Although suture tape has been demonstrated to be efficacious augment for tendonous repairs elsewhere the body, it not investigated as method augmenting peel repairs.To determine biomechanical efficacy augmentation peel.Controlled laboratory study.Twelve human cadaveric shoulders underwent peel. Specimens were randomly...
The purpose of this study was to use a large claims database determine if there is difference in opioid after operative intervention for proximal humerus fractures patients with known cannabis compared those who do not report use. PearlDiver queried find all underwent open reduction and internal fixation. A group reported or dependence matched cohort without Between the two groups, differences number prescriptions filled postoperative period (within 3 days), morphine milligram equivalents...
