Ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and dilated (DCM) differ in histopathology prognosis. Although transendocardial delivery of mesenchymal stem cells is safe provides cardiovascular benefits both, a comparison cell efficacy ICM versus DCM has not been done.
We suggest that people living with HIV (PLWH) may serve as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) educators for partners when informed about PrEP. Participants in this study were a convenience sample of PLWH at public hospital Miami. A cross-sectional survey assessed the frequency serostatus disclosure, PrEP awareness, and willingness to recommend intimate partners. To evaluate stigma surrounding human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), comfort discussing family, friends was interrogated. Surveys...
Abstract Objective To examine the association between distal radius fractures and tendon entrapment identified on computed tomography (CT) imaging. Patients Methods After Institutional Review Board approval, we retrospectively reviewed that underwent CT imaging from an electronic database January 2006 to February 2018 at a single level 1 hospital trauma center. We categorized all radial according AO-OTA (AO Foundation/Orthopaedic Trauma Association) classification. Distal upper extremity...
Contribution toward clinical research is paramount to the education of physician trainees and required by Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education. From 1987 through 2015, our single institution orthopaedic surgery residency experience included 2 dedicated rotations. Because few resident projects were pursued completion, feedback was used restructure curriculum, including appointment faculty serve as codirectors, development a revised use teams, centralized database. Our group...
This study evaluates midterm results of a 3-part titanium alloy stem with metaphyseal fixation and neck-metaphyseal taper junction strengthened low plasticity burnishing (LPB). Our hypothesis is that this multimodular implant LPB succeeds in offering the advantages three-part modularity without junctional failure.Twenty-eight 32 complex primary (n = 9) revision total hip arthroplasties were accounted for minimum 2-year follow-up. Clinical radiographic data reviewed at mean follow-up period...
Case: A 22-year-old woman with Klippel-Feil syndrome who underwent cervical disc arthroplasty (CDA) presented 3 months postoperatively worsening neck pain and radiculopathy. Work-up was negative for infection, but single-photon emission computed tomography revealed increased metabolic activity in the vertebral body below implant. During revision, implant grossly loose multiple cultures grew Cutibacterium acnes . She treated an antibiotic course conversion to anterior fusion without...
Abstract Simultaneous bilateral total hip arthroplasty (blTHA) offers the benefit of a single episode care with potential for lower cumulative operative times and rehabilitation periods than staged (stTHA). This study analyzes short-term complication rates after blTHA relative to unilateral THA (ulTHA) projected stTHA in patients osteoarthritis. We compared complications simultaneous group ulTHA using National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) database. were propensity-matched...
Study design: Systematic review. The purpose of this study was to compare the top 25 articles on pediatric spine surgery by number citations and Altmetric score. All published pertaining from 2010 2021 were assessed for: scores, score breakdown (e.g. Twitter, News), citation counts, article topics. cited identified. Out 50 total articles, only 3 (6.0%) overlapped between two groups. had averages (mean ± SD) 167 130 66 135 citations, while 22 45 196 114 citations. When evaluating topics,...
Abstract Adequate vitamin D and calcium supplementation therapy in osteoporosis reduces the risk of fragility fractures correlates with improved mortality outcomes postoperative hip fracture patients. However, prevalence adequate this population remains unclear. Our purpose was to describe supplement use among adult United States who have been told they had identify factors associated supplementation, particularly patients history fracture. The study sample comprised a total 15,968...
