A 2-dimensional motion and force study of the ankle joint during gait has been carried out on normal subjects patients with disease, before 1 year following total replacemetn. The methods employed involved use high-speed picture film, plate foot-switch data. Achilles anterior tibial tendon forces, compressive tangential (shear) forces across stance phase were determined, based a quasi-static analysis. During used mean 24.4 degree sagittal plane motion. Patients disease showed reduced which...
The effects of high-dose irradiation on the biomechanical and morphological properties cortical bone their time-related changes were studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. A single fraction 3500 rads was applied to middle part right thigh. Age sex-matched control rats that did not receive radiation used for comparison. Two weeks after irradiation, animals had lost weight disappearance cells, shrunken osteocytes, significantly decreased bone-turnover activities noted. marrow showed reduced...
Three-dimensional force analysis of finger tendons and joints in isometric hand functions was formulated as a statically indeterminate problem. This problem solved adjunctly by the permutation-combination technique method linear programming. Optimal solutions were compared with those produced justified based on clinical physiologic assessments. The results obtained are within expected range muscle distribution coincides data established previous EMG studies volume analyses. validity used its...

Influenza Other Respiratory Viruses DOI: 10.1111/irv.12014. Background: settings is challenging. We used healthcare practice populations as a proxy to estimate community (ILI) laboratory‐confirmed influenza‐associated ILI. Methods: From October 2009 July 2010, 38 practices seven jurisdictions conducted surveillance for ILI (fever with cough or sore...
ABSTRACT The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has led to unprecedented stresses on modern medical systems, overwhelming the resource infrastructure in numerous countries while presenting a unique series of pathophysiologic clinical findings. Thrombotic coagulopathy is common critically ill patients suffering from COVID-19, with associated high rates respiratory failure requiring prolonged periods mechanical ventilation. Here, we report case five profound, medically refractory...
Penetrating neck trauma is uncommon in children; consequently, data describing epidemiology, injury pattern, and management are sparse. The aim of this study was to use the National Trauma Data Bank (NTDB) describe pediatric penetrating (PPNT).The NTDB queried for children (defined as <15 years old) with PPNT between 2008 2012. Descriptive analysis used age groups (0-5, 6-10, 11-14 years) type categorized aerodigestive, vascular, cervical spine, nerve.A total 1,238 patients were identified...
During the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, New York instituted a statewide stay-at-home mandate to lower viral transmission. While public health guidelines advised continued provision of timely care for patients, disruption safety-net and fear have been proposed be related indirect deaths because delays in presentation. We hypothesized that admissions emergency general surgery (EGS) diagnoses would decrease during pandemic mortality these patients increase.A multicenter observational...
During early spring 2020, New York City (NYC) rapidly became the first US epicenter of COVID-19 pandemic. With an unparalleled strain on health care resources, we sought to investigate impact pandemic trauma visits and mortality in United States' largest municipal hospital system.We conducted a retrospective multicenter cohort study five level 1 centers NYC's public system, City's Health Hospitals Corporation. Clinical characteristics, mechanism injury, patients presenting during (March 1,...
The ability to return work (RTW) postinjury is one of the primary goals rehabilitation. modified Rankin Scale (mRS) a validated simple scale used assess functional status stroke patients during We sought determine applicability mRS in predicting RTW general trauma population. registry was queried for patients, aged 18 65 years, discharged from 2012 2013. A telephone interview each patient included questions about employment and physical mRS. Patients who had were compared with those not...
Introduction Ketorolac is useful in acute pain management to avoid opiate-related complications; however, some surgeons fear associated kidney injury (AKI) and bleeding despite a paucity of literature on ketorolac use trauma patients. We hypothesized that our institution's intravenous for rib fracture did not increase the incidence or AKI. Methods Rib patients aged 15 years above admitted between January 2016-June 2018 were identified registry along with frequency events. AKI was defined as...
: Hemorrhage is the leading cause of preventable death in trauma patients. In recent years, technological innovations and research efforts aimed at preventing from hemorrhagic shock have resulted emergence resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion aorta (REBOA). REBOA offers a less invasive option for emergent hemorrhage control noncompressible areas body without added risks morbidities an ED thoracotomy. This article outlines procedure device used, describes procedure's evolution,...
Lemierre's syndrome is a rare but potentially fatal condition. The course characterized by acute tonsillopharyngitis, bacteremia, internal jugular vein thrombosis, and septic embolization. There have been some cases secondary to penetrating trauma the neck. Literature review has yielded no blunt neck in absence of oropharyngeal injury. We aim shed light on this unique cause syndrome, so as raise index suspicion for clinicians working up patients with cervical trauma.We present case...
Modeling the musculoskeletal joint system using biomechanical analysis and computer graphics techniques allows us to visualize normal, diseased reconstructed function. This model can be used study loading of bones joints under theoretical simulated activities. In this study, intact cadavers were imaged MRI, CT scanning cryo-sectioning techniques. Using sequential pixel information bone soft tissue boundaries collected from digital camera images, MRI scans, volumetric models are...
Despite mostly favorable past evidence for use of intracranial pressure monitoring (ICPM), more recent data question not only the indications but also utility ICPM. The Fourth Edition Brain Trauma Foundation guidelines offer limited Evidence supports ICPM reducing mortality in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and cites decreased survival elderly patients.All ≥ 18 years age isolated TBI, head Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3, a Glasgow Coma (GCS) ≤ 8 between 2008 2014 were...
Penetrating cardiac injuries have a pre-hospital mortality of 94% with subsequent in-hospital 50% among initial survivors (Leite et al., 2017 [1]). The Western Trauma Association (WTA) guidelines recommend resuscitative thoracotomy (RT) for patients penetrating torso trauma and less than 15 min cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) Burlew al. (2012) [2]. are classically repaired using skin-stapling devices and/or suture repair or without pledgets (Wall 1997 [3]). In this study, we present case...
Background Adequate exposure to operative trauma is not uniform across surgical residencies, and therefore it can be challenging achieve competency during residency alone. This study introduced the Cut Suit simulator with an Advanced Surgical Skills Package, which replicates traumatic bleeding organ injury, into surgery resident training multiple New York City centers. Methods Trainees from 6 ACS-verified centers participated in this prospective, observational trial. Groups of 3-5 trainees...
