Collagen is a major component of the extracellular matrix and plays wide variety important roles in blood clotting, healing, tissue remodeling. Natural, animal derived, collagen used many clinical applications but concerns exist with respect to its role inflammation, batch-to-batch variability, possible disease transfection. Therefore, development synthetic nanomaterials that can mimic nanostructure properties natural has been heavily pursued goal biomaterials. Previously, we reported on...
<h3>BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:</h3> MR imaging of peripheral nerves (MR neurography) allows improved assessment nerve anatomy and pathology. The objective this study was to evaluate patients with unilateral occipital neuralgia using neurography assess the differences in greater signal size between symptomatic asymptomatic sides. <h3>MATERIALS METHODS:</h3> In case-control evaluation neurography, bilateral caliber, intensity, signal-to-noise ratios, contrast-to-noise ratios were determined by 2...
Implant-based reconstruction remains the most common form of postmastectomy breast reconstruction. With ever-evolving device characteristics, including advent high-profile, cohesive, fifth-generation implants, incidence anterior-posterior flipping implants is presenting a new challenge. Patient and characteristics associated with this phenomenon have yet to be fully elucidated.Patients who underwent nipple- or skin-sparing mastectomy subsequent 2-stage direct-to-implant smooth between 2015...
Purpose Pain is a common side effect of intravenous injection propofol. We conducted randomized, prospective, single-blinded controlled trial to assess the efficacy vibration analgesia on pain during propofol infusion in ambulatory surgery. Methods After institutional review board approval, 100 patients undergoing elective surgery with general anesthesia were randomized into 2 groups. A control group (n = 50) consisted who received without analgesia. treatment using Buzzy device. was...
Background: The standard of care distal radius fractures requiring operative intervention involves restoration anatomical alignment radiologically by comparing preoperative films and intraoperative fluoroscopy with established values based on population norms. objective this study is to evaluate the use plain radiographs obtained from uninjured wrist patients who present unilateral displaced as a measure successful achievement realignment. Methods: A retrospective review was performed 133...
PURPOSE: Decreasing total exposure to opioids in the operative and postoperative periods has become a focus of recent efforts control opioid crisis. Regional anesthesia, specifically, thoracic paravertebral blocks, have been shown mastectomy decrease pain aid early discharge; however, use this technique not explored outpatient procedures such as breast reduction mammoplasty (BRM). Here we seek determine effects blocks on consumption patients undergoing BRM. METHODS: A retrospective review...
