Since 2016, over half of the states in United States have passed mandatory limits on opioid prescriptions, with limited evidence effectiveness. In this study, we evaluated postoperative prescriptions following orthopaedic surgery before and after implementation one earliest such laws.Following state legislation limiting for opioid-naïve patients, 2 patient cohorts (pre-law post-law) were compared. Both opioid-tolerant patients undergoing 6 common procedures (total knee arthroplasty, rotator...
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability. Neurogenesis after stroke associated with repair; however, mechanisms regulating poststroke neurogenesis and its functional effect remain unclear. Here, we investigate multiple mechanistic routes induced in brain, using both a forelimb overuse manipulation that models clinical neurorehabilitation paradigm, as well local cellular activity peri-infarct cortex. Increased cortex via either modulation drives increased subventricular zone (SVZ)...
[Purpose] To determine the intra- and inter-rater agreement of a mobile application, PostureScreen Mobile® (PSM), that assesses static standing posture. [Subjects Methods] Three examiners with different levels experience assessing posture, one licensed physical therapist two untrained undergraduate students, performed repeated postural assessments 10 subjects, fully clothed or minimally clothed, using PSM on nonconsecutive days. Anterior right lateral images were captured seventeen landmarks...

Objectives: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has created several challenges for residency programs and prospective interns alike during the upcoming application cycle, including cancellation of away sub-internships in-person interviews. Given prior research documenting that applicants' ranking decisions are significantly influenced by webpages, a potential solution to loss experiences is expansion programs' online presence through their program websites, provision virtual...
Poor clinical outcomes and adverse events following orthopaedic trauma are common, which may lead to litigation. To our knowledge, factors associated with litigation fracture care have not previously been evaluated.A retrospective review of fracture-related malpractice lawsuits from 1988 2015 was completed utilizing VerdictSearch (ALM Media Properties), a medicolegal database. Defendant plaintiff characteristics along type, allegations, outcomes, the association case were analyzed.A total...
Objectives: To evaluate opioid-prescribing patterns after surgery for orthopaedic trauma before and implementation of opioid-limiting mandates in one state. Design: Retrospective review. Setting: Level-1 center. Patients/Participants: Seven hundred fifty-three patients (297 pre-law 456 post-law ) undergoing isolated fixation 6 common fracture during specified (January 1, 2016–June 28, 2016) (June 01, 2017–December 31, 2017) study periods. Polytrauma were excluded. Intervention:...
Large multicenter retrospective cohort study.The objective of this study was to analyze the effect fusion timing on inpatient outcomes in a nationally representative population with thoracolumbar fracture and concurrent neurological injury.Among trauma admissions, injury is associated greater long-term morbidity. There little consensus optimal surgical for these patients; previous investigations fail differentiate without injury.We analyzed 19,136 nonelective National Inpatient Sample cases...
Prospective hematology-oncology fellowship applicants use program Web sites as a critical source of information. The purpose this study was to evaluate the current content and comprehensiveness identify specific areas for improvement. This assessed presence 27 commonly evaluated application curriculum training informational items all accredited programs in 2018. score calculated number present on site out compared by region size using analysis variance two-tailed t tests.

The Rhode Island State Legislature passed the Uniform Controlled Substances Act in 2016 to limit opioid prescriptions. We aimed objectively evaluate its effect on prescribing for hand surgery patients and also identify risk factors prolonged use. A 6-month period (January-June 2016) prior passage of law was compared with a following implementation (July-December 2017). Thumb carpometacarpal arthroplasty distal radius fracture fixation were classified as "major surgery" carpal tunnel trigger...
