To investigate the learning curve associated with performing direct anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) immediately after fellowship training in this approach.This was a multicenter, retrospective study that collected data on all THAs performed by four fellowship-trained surgeons their first year of practice. Demographic data, surgical time, blood loss, complications, and medical complications were recorded. Regression models created to evaluate outcomes interest. A generalized linear...
Background Vancouver B2 periprosthetic femur fractures have traditionally been treated with revision arthroplasty. However, there is increasing evidence that open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) may be a valid alternative treatment strategy. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes ORIF versus arthroplasty for evaluate influence treating surgeon's fellowship training on selection. Methodology This retrospective cohort 31 patients (16 15 arthroplasty) at single academic...
Background: Distal radius fractures in the pediatric population are common injuries with a remarkable capability to remodel. The degree of angulation that can reasonably be expected remodel is controversial though, particularly when it comes coronal plane. purpose this study was quantify rate remodeling, via distal physis, present retrospective cohort skeletally immature patients coronally angulated fractures. Methods: A chart review performed identify treated for an fracture over 10 degrees...
The rules by which odor receptors encode odors and allow behavior are still largely unexplored. Although large data sets of electrophysiological responses to have been generated, few hypotheses tested with behavioral assays. We use a set on Drosophila larval coupled chemotaxis assays examine coding. Using mutants receptors, we found that similar across concentrations play non-redundant roles in coding at specific concentrations. also high affinity for determine response thresholds, but the...
The custom-fabricated total contact cast is commonly used in the treatment of diabetic foot disorders. This resource-consuming option has been associated with iatrogenic morbidity as well need for urgent removal and inspection underlying limb when potential problems arise. Over a 10-year period, 381 patients had 2265 applications by certified orthopaedic technologists, university practice, under supervision faculty. Patients were stratified glycemic control based on hemoglobin A1c levels,...
Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a local inflammatory response, and we hypothesize that RP serves as an immune stimulator protective factor against disease progression. Methods: We analyzed patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) at two institutions. Radiographic (RRP) was evaluated maximal axial dimensions were measured three-, six-, twelve-month timepoints surveillance CT. RRP using radiographic markers such ground-glass...
We evaluated how race, insurance status, and other sociodemographic, tumor, treatment variables influenced the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) in breast cancer. performed an IRB-approved retrospective review of 298 cancer patients treated with NAC from 2006-2018 at our institution. Univariable multivariable binary logistic regression analyses were estimate effects on outcomes. Outcomes interest included pathologic complete (pCR), partial (pPR), any (pCR or pPR). Sixty-nine (23%)...
Introduction: Atlantoaxial instability results from injury to the transverse atlantal ligament (TAL), necessitating cervical fixation prevent functional and life-threatening consequences, including myelopathy respiratory failure. Although posterior bilateral C1-C2 instrumented is standard surgical treatment, it associated with increased risks of infection, muscle destruction, narcotic use, stroke, prolonged lengths stay. The endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) has historically been effective...
Introduction: Previous literature has reported minimal incidences of positive fungal/AFB cultures, questioning the routine use these tests. With growing concern for excessive use, predictive factors patients at higher risk intraoperative AFB/fungal infections would help surgeons limit unnecessary testing. This study evaluates positivity rate and fungal and/or acid-fast bacillus (AFB) cultures after primary, conversion, or revision hip knee arthroplasty. Method: Two hundred thirty-eight...
High-school sports participation in the United States has increased over years with a corresponding increase number of injuries. Leading medical and organizations nationwide advocate for an proper supervision athletes.To analyze athletic coverage Illinois high schools compare differences between public private school.A survey addressing various components was distributed 2018 to all 810 High School Association (IHSA) be completed electronically.The response rate 50% (407/810 schools). Of...
Intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH) is one of the most common causes spinal cord injury (SCI) in dogs. As a result acute SCI, complex inflammatory response occurs cord. Th17 cells (Th17) produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, while regulatory T (Treg) have opposite effects producing anti-inflammatory cytokines. Therefore, aim this study was to determine whether Th17- and Treg are involved pathogenesis SCI or cellular changes occur due coexisting diseases. We hypothesized that chronic...
Microscopic colitis (MC) is a common cause of chronic diarrhea with limited long-term data. We searched the pathology records at our institution from 2008 to 2018 identify cases MC. Total sample included patients either diagnosis MC or incomplete (MCi).Chart review was performed and data were summarized for descriptive statistics. Logistic regression used estimate unadjusted effects predictors on A total 216 (88.32% white, 80.56% females, mean age 67.12 +/– 15.79) studied; 50.00% had CC,...
Physicians are taught to maintain emotional distance. However, limited research suggests that many have cried in the hospital setting. How physicians understand and manage their emotions is an understudied topic, public displays of emotion not adequately addressed medical education. To better physician trainee views about displaying front patients, we conducted a mixed-methods study using vignettes, closed-, open-ended questions explore current attitudes students, residents, at one academic...
ABSTRACT Laparoscopy has been shown to be an effective diagnostic and therapeutic modality for trauma patients. The benefits of laparoscopic intervention include the avoidance negative laparotomy procedures, decreased patient morbidity rates, shorter hospital stays, lower costs. Laparoscopic limitations are discussed in this article as well perioperative nursing considerations all phases patients' care. Five case studies which care was enhanced by use laparoscopy presented. AORN J 64 (Sept...
In the US, dentists prescribe 10% of outpatient antibiotics and are top specialty prescriber. However, it is difficult to distinguish antibiotic prophylaxis vs. treatment because generally code using procedure codes (CDT), rarely diagnostic (ICD). VA, use CDT ICD allowing for analyses prescription (RX) indication. Therefore, study purpose was determine prescribing rates indication prescribed by dentists. Cross-sectional 476,451 patients with 1,741,708 visits in 205 VA dental clinics 2013....
Purpose or ObjectiveIn GEC-ESTRO randomised trial accelerated partial breast irradiation (PBI) with high-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BRT) was not inferior to adjuvant whole at 5-year follow-up.The long-term results are lacking in literature.We report 10-year clinical and cosmetic outcomes of PBI 192 Ir HDR-BRT early cancer patients (pts). Material MethodsFrom May 2005 July 2013,129 pts were recruited a phase II exclusive HDR-BRT.Inclusion criteria were: age >40, PS 0-2, unifocal invasive...
e16767 Background: Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has one of the lowest 5-year survival rates all cancers. Poor prognosis can be attributed in part to late detection and chemoresistance. Perioperative chemotherapy with or without radiation is standard treatment for resectable PDAC, however recurrence remain high. GRP78 (HSPA5/BiP) an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) chaperone protein involved regulation ER stress response that leads pro-survival pathway activation chemoresistance tumor...
Histopathologic analysis of femoral head specimens following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a routine practice that represents significant use health care resources. However, it occasionally results in discovery undiagnosed hematopoietic malignancy and other discrepant diagnoses such as avascular necrosis. The purpose this study was to determine the rate discordant discovered from histopathological evaluation heads THA perform cost practice.A review patients undergoing primary between...
