The ability of cells to detect and respond nucleotide signals in the local microenvironment is essential for vascular homeostasis. enzyme ectonucleotide tri(di)phosphohydrolase-1 (ENTPD1, also known as CD39) on surface leukocytes endothelial metabolizes locally released, intravascular ATP ADP, thereby eliminating these prothrombotic proinflammatory stimuli. Here, we evaluated contribution CD39 atherogenesis apolipoprotein E–deficient (ApoE-deficient) mouse model atherosclerosis. Compared...
Background: Pelvic incidence (PI) is an important variable in assessing spinopelvic balance that associated with hip pathology. A lateral radiograph of the pelvis can be used to measure PI, but this view not routinely performed clinical setting during evaluation pain. The false-profile (FP) radiographic commonly obtained acetabular coverage. Purpose: To evaluate tolerance PI measurements pelvic rotation and assess feasibility using FP obtain accurate measurement PI. Study Design: Cohort...
Background: Osteoarthritis of the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint affects a large percentage population and can lead to significant functional disability. The purpose this study is evaluate midterm clinical effectiveness PIP arthroplasty for nonrheumatic arthritis. Methods: A single-center retrospective cohort evaluating preoperative postoperative objective subjective measures was conducted. Range motion (ROM), Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand scores, key pinch strength, grip...
The literature evaluating external anatomical measurements and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) remains inconclusive. purpose of this study was to compare hand- shape patients with without (CTS). A retrospective case - control participants suspected CTS (male/female ratio 0.69) performed. Nerve conduction tests (NCT) defined 65 involved hands 73 hands. relationship between 3 different hand index ratios (measuring palm length width) (defined by NCT) evaluated using Generalized Estimating...
Our purpose was to compare postoperative complications and rate of plate removal in titanium stainless-steel plating distal radius fractures (DRF). Patients following DRF were randomly fixed with or plates using the same system. Complications, second surgeries, prominence documented. A total 41 patients treated 22 plates. Average follow-up 60 ± 5.6 months. There no difference demographics, fracture characteristics, between groups. Plate found 50% radiographs (mean distance: 1.4 mm). Four...
Background he lack of structural support remains a challenge in the treatment comminuted distal radius fractures. Calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate bone cement has been used other fracture locations addition to fixation shown allow for retention reduction difficult cases. Methods A case-control retrospective review 34 consecutive fractures treated with surgery was performed patients classified by Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthesefragen (AO) classification. Complications postoperative...
Abstract The relative importance and use of motor evaluation to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is not clear. Because the ulnar nerve affected in CTS, we evaluated comparing strength median-nerve innervated muscles same patient, through manual muscle testing (MMT) a handheld dynamometer. Our purpose was evaluate whether this method, which takes into account patient-dependent factors that would affect both groups equally, can provide better assessment CTS. A retrospective case-control...
The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and precision pelvic rotation in existing false-profile (FP) radiographs devise a method improve FP radiographs.An imaging protocol developed obtain radiographs. Pelvic calculated using described for images obtained 3 months prior after implementation protocol. Student's t-test variance ratio tests were used determine differences mean between 2 cohorts. calculation methodology validated by fluoroscopic C-arm AP rotated 10 osteologic...
Background: The purpose of the study was to compare patient satisfaction between patients receiving durable medical equipment (DME) at home from a third-party vendor versus directly their physician’s office. Methods: A prospective 10-question survey provided 66 consecutive adult who met inclusion criteria DME after orthopaedic shoulder or knee surgery using either an in-office (n=31 patients) third party (n=35 delivery program. Survey questions were graded on 1 5 Likert scale that assessed...
Objectives: Recent research has shown that implanting a patellar osteochondral allograft with non-matched surface morphology (i.e., Wiberg classification) does not create increased chondral deviation or circumferential step-off in the donor plug compared to native patella. While much of on allografts been focused matching, little done determine if subchondral bone alignment at donor:native interface plays role graft healing, local force distribution, and long term success transplant....
