Acute low back pain (LBP) is a common experience; however, the associated severity, frequency, and characteristics of individuals with acute LBP in community settings have yet to be well understood. In this manuscript, two acute-LBP severity categorization definitions were developed: 1) impact frequency (impact-based) 2) intensity (intensity-based) categories. The purpose manuscript describe then compare these groups following characteristics: sociodemographic, general physical health, 3)...
The implementation of recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations to move away from opioids toward nonpharmacological therapies the treatment chronic pain could involve a difficult transition period patients practitioners. focus should shift eliminating completely minimizing impact on quality life. Many with take either because were previously prescribed as first-line pain, basis old standards care, or initially acute pain. Patients currently taking will need tapering...
Biochemical biomarkers may provide insight into musculoskeletal pain reported at individual or multiple body sites. The purpose of this study was to determine if pressure-pain threshold (PPT) were associated with sites pain.This cross-sectional analysis included 689 community-based participants. Self-reported symptoms (ie, pain, aching, stiffness) ascertained about the neck, upper back/thoracic, low back, shoulders, elbows, wrist, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. Measured analytes...
Abstract The transition from acute to chronic low back pain (LBP) in community settings has yet be well understood. We recruited n=131 participants with LBP the and followed them for 3 6-month outcomes. Acute was defined by a duration of < 4 weeks, must have reported 30-day LBP-free period before current episode. Chronic as most or every day over past months. Baseline psychological, social, demographic factors were examined predictors at months continuation 6 32.2% ( 38/118). At months,...
In cancer studies, assessment of patients' physical function can provide insight into cancer-related symptoms and the side effects treatment. Physical be assessed using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), which may or not include a recall period—the amount time questionnaire asks respondent to think back answer questions. More understanding is needed about how patients interpret respond items posed with different periods, period they actually use. We conducted qualitative study 72...
Abstract Acute low back pain (LBP) is a common experience, however, the associated severity, frequency, and characteristics of individuals with acute LBP in community settings have yet to be well understood. In this manuscript, three severity categorization definitions were used based on frequency combined either 1) impact (impact-based) or 2) intensity (intensity-based), as interference (interference only-based) categories. The purpose manuscript describe then compare these groups following...
Introduction: Ventral hernia repair (VHR) is one of the most common surgeries performed in United States. Degradable mesh recommended choice for patients presenting with high-risk co-morbidities or increased risk infection. GORE® ENFORM Biomaterial TM a biosynthetic degradable that has recently been approved use ventral reconstruction no reports its clinical outcomes. Methods: This study was single surgeon case series. Patients were included if they underwent VHR GORE ® . The decision to...
