To better understand the underlying mechanisms involved in trunk motion during a tennis serve, this study aimed to examine (1) relative of middle and lower (2) muscle activity three different types serves - flat, topspin, slice.Tennis performed by 11 advanced (AV) 8 intermediate (AI) male players were videorecorded with markers placed on back subject used estimate anatomical joint (AJ) angles between for four motions (extension, left lateral flexion, right twisting). Surface...
Prospective analysis of preoperative and postoperative radiological data.To assess the incidence extent laminar closure after Hirabayashi open-door laminoplasty, as determined by multi-detector computed tomography (CT), to investigate influence this phenomenon on spinal cord compression, shown magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Although occurs little is known about its progression or effect restenosis canal.Thirty-five patients (132 laminae) underwent classic laminoplasty were followed for at...
Abstract Background In allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo‐ SCT ), reduced‐intensity conditioning ( RIC ) is known for producing less regimen‐related toxicity. However, whether or not reduces the risk infection and infection‐related mortality IRM remains controversial. Methods We retrospectively analyzed infectious episodes s after allo‐ by time period intensity of regimen [ n = 81] vs. myeloablative conditioning, MAC 150]). Results The cumulative incidence any kind was lower in group...
Objectives. To evaluate the incidence of infectious complications after receiving alemtuzumab as part a conditioning regimen for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in Korean patients. Methods. From November 2004 to January 2006, 12 patients who received alemtuzumab‐based regimens HSCT were evaluated retrospectively until death or end follow‐up July 2007; they compared with 18 rabbit anti‐thymocyte globulin (ATG)‐containing from 2002 2006. Results. Post‐engraftment...
Poland's syndrome, a rare congenital anomaly characterized by pectoralis muscle defect, has been reported in association with lymphoreticular malignancies and some solid tumors. Lung cancer associated syndrome not previously described. We present the first report of case lung demonstrate CT findings.
Prospective case seriesThis was designed to precisely measure motion after posterior dynamic stabilization using Dynesys instrumentation.The system, which stabilizes the spinal segment while potentially decreasing risk of adjacent disease, is undergoing evaluation by US Food and Drug Administration for treatment degenerative spondylolisthesis without fusion. Evaluation disease requires precise characterization on surgical level. Unfortunately, routine clinical radiographic techniques are...
A retrospective clinical study.To introduce a novel method of pedicle screw placement for extremely small thoracic pedicles in scoliosis and evaluate the safety accuracy method.Few studies have provided technical guidelines patients with scoliosis.In severely rotated scoliotic spine, is challenging, particularly more so diameter less than 2 mm. The authors introduced these pedicles: "medial margin targeting method."The C-arm fluoroscope until true PA image vertebral body acquired both...
Corneal dystrophy typically refers to a group of rare hereditary disorders with heterogeneous genetic background. A comprehensive molecular analysis was performed characterize the spectrum corneal dystrophies in Korean patients. Patients various underwent thorough ophthalmic examination, histopathologic and Sanger sequencing. total 120 probands were included, mean age 50 years (SD = 18 years) 70% female. 26 mutations five genes (14 clearly pathogenic 12 likely pathogenic) identified 49...
In Brief Study Design. Prospective clinical study. Objective. To evaluate the correlation between radiographic findings and sagittal range of motion (ROM) measured using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) after anterior cervical discectomy fusion (ACDF). Summary Background Data. Evaluation ACDF continues to be difficult. Radiographic films including flexion/extension views are routinely used for this purpose. Unfortunately, routine radiographs insensitive in demonstrating pseudarthrosis. RSA...
Prospective clinical study.To compare the amount of segmental motion in sagittal plane after lumbar total disc arthroplasty (TDA) measured by using Cobb technique, quantitative analysis (QMA), and radiostereometric (RSA).The aim TDA is preservation therefore essential to properly quantify motion. Clinically, which involves either endplates or implant as radiographic landmarks. This technique has been reported have large intraobserver interobserver variability. QMA RSA are vivo techniques...
Many clinical studies have focused on pain scores and less kinematics following intervertebral disc replacement. Although flexion extension of the motion segment can be measured lateral X-rays, measuring bending axial rotation device is extremely difficult plain radiography. This study was designed to measure, using radiostereometric analysis (RSA), postoperative range spinal placement ProDisc-L interbody (Synthes Spine, West Chester, Pennsylvania).Twelve patients (15 discs) with a...
Biomechanical studies have shown that dynamic stabilization restores the neutral zone and stabilizes motion segment. Unfortunately, there are limitations to clinical measurement of lumbar segments when using routine radiographs. Radiostereometric analysis is a 3-dimensional technique can measure spinal segment more accurately than techniques plain film The purpose this study was compare range after stabilization, posterior fusion (PLF), discectomy.Four patients who underwent decompression...
This study evaluated the technical adequacy of trans-articular sacroiliac joint (SIJ) fusion using three screws for non-traumatic SIJ pain, considering different grades sacral dysplasia.Cadaveric CT data unilateral sacropelvic complexes 72 individuals (53.4 ± 8.4 years) were selected. A 3D model was reformatted into plain lateral radiograph to mark articular surface SIJ. Subjects classified dysplastic (DYS) and non-dysplastic sacrum (NDS) groups. Proximal (PS), middle (MS), distal (DS) with...
