Background: Nonoperative options for osteochondral lesions (OCLs) of the talar dome are limited, and currently, there is a lack scientific evidence to guide management. Purpose: To evaluate short-term efficacy safety platelet-rich plasma (PRP) compared with hyaluronic acid (HA) in reducing pain disability caused by OCLs ankle. Study Design: Randomized controlled trial; Level evidence, 2. Methods: Thirty-two patients aged 18 60 years were allocated treatment intra-articular injections either...

The use of NLP in the realm financial technology is broad and complex, with applications ranging from sentiment analysis named entity recognition to question answering. Large Language Models (LLMs) have been shown be effective on a variety tasks; however, no LLM specialized for domain has reported literature. In this work, we present BloombergGPT, 50 billion parameter language model that trained wide range data. We construct 363 token dataset based Bloomberg's extensive data sources, perhaps...

Rhabdomyolysis, literally meaning the breakdown of muscle tissue, is a common syndrome with many causes, acquired ones such as exertion, trauma, infections, temperature extremes, drugs, toxins, electrolyte and endocrine abnormalities, congenital myopathies connective tissue disorders.All results in pathophysiologic pathway which ends dispersing content into circulation.Rhabdomyolysis has characteristic clinical, laboratory radiologic features, but does require high index suspicion so that...

Between 1978 and 1984, we examined performed arthroscopy on 1000 consecutive patients. Ninety-eight of the had isolated ACL damage. These cases do not include patients with initial injuries combined other intraarticular Diagnosis was by physical arthroscopic examination. Examination took place an average 13.6 months after injury. Of 98 injuries, 56 were complete ruptures 42 partial ruptures. In most rupture, clinical diagnosis wrong. "Meniscal damage" usual in these cases; true made only...

Syndesmotic ankle injuries are not easy to recognize when an associated fracture or frank diastasis is present. There a need for simple, fast, inexpensive, and easily reproducible diagnostic tool assess the integrity of distal tibiofibular synedesmosis.Dynamic ultrasound (US) examination can accurately diagnose anteroinferior ligament (AITFL) rupture.Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2.We evaluated 3 groups: 9 consecutive professional athletes with recent AITFL rupture, control group...

To examine changes in the pattern of force transfer between foot and floor associated with chronically sprained ankles by measuring peak forces their timing under several regions feet during level walking.Twelve young male subjects (mean (SD) age 21 (2) years) recurrent ankle sprains were studied. Seven them had unilateral bilateral chronic instability laxity, five instability. Twelve healthy men (without orthopaedic or medical disease) served as a control group. Subjects walked at own pace...

Pulmonary embolism is a serious complication after arthroscopy of the knee, about which there limited information. We have identified incidence and risk factors for symptomatic pulmonary arthroscopic procedures on outpatients. The New York State Department Health Statewide Planning Research Cooperative System database was used to review knee performed outpatients between 1997 2006, identify those admitted within 90 days surgery with an associated diagnosis embolism. Potential included age,...

Background: Ankle sprains are frequent, especially in athletes, soldiers, or others who perform high levels of physical activity. Although prevention is a primary goal, little known about the risk factors. We evaluated association structure medial arch foot to occurrence acute and recurrent ankle 83 female infantry recruits. found no previous studies on women English literature. Methods: Arch height was quantified using Chippaux-Smirak index, each classified as high, normal, low....

In the past, several studies provided anecdotal descriptions of high-arched feet in individuals sustaining proximal fifth metatarsal stress fractures. This relationship has never been supported by scientific evidence. Our objective was to examine whether athletes who sustained this injury had an exceptional static foot structure or dynamic loading pattern.Ten injured professional soccer players regained full activity following a unilateral fracture and ten control were examined. Independent...

Dynamic US examination is a convenient, accurate, inexpensive and reproducible diagnostic tool for assessing the integrity of distal tibiofibular syndesmosis in ankle injuries. However normal values physiological functional widening anterior clear space healthy subjects has yet to be determined. The purpose this study was determine on ultrasound examination. We evaluated 110 subjects. A dynamic U.S performed neutral (N), forced internal rotation (IR) external (ER) ankle. In each position...

Sural nerve injury is a relatively common complication after surgery on the Achilles tendon. Studies to determine course of sural have been performed cadaveric specimens. The purpose this cross-sectional study was use ultrasound relations in healthy population. authors examination posterior triangle ankle and tendon relative participants. mean distance between 21.48, 11.47, 5.8, 0.81 mm lateral as measured at insertion 4, 8, 11 cm proximally, respectively. Male participants tended that...

Evaluation of patients with a second hip fracture, which means fracture the contralateral hip.Retrospective database analysis.Academic teaching hospital.All who were admitted for their fractures between November 1999 and September 2001 had first treated in our institution.In this study, we epidemiologically analyzed types, interval two fractures, general status patients, type operation performed, postfracture independence level.This survey comprises 84 (65 females 19 males). Their ages...

Pain relief and functional improvement in the short term have been demonstrated majority of patients with tarsal coalition following resection. Recreation normal subtalar kinematics is an important goal these as well, may long implications. The purpose our study was to examine whether kinematic variables foot motion are normalized resection coalition.This compared three groups: nine candidates for coalition, between 2 4 years after bar resection, control subjects. Ankle hindfoot scoring...

Iron deficiency anemia has long been known to impair physical and mental performance. itself, even without anemia, may also cause such an effect. Similar female athletes, women in active military units have increased risks for iron its detrimental effects. Female recruits were screened store status, a questionnaire on lifestyle habits menstruation was completed. depletion (serum ferritin level of <20 microg/L) found 77% study participants. (ferritin <12 microg/L transferrin saturation <15%)...

Background: Treatment of osteoarthritis the ankle is similar to that any other large joint and includes conservative surgical options. Surgical treatment in severe cases fusion or replacement, whereas limited mainly supports physiotherapy. Hyaluronic acid was discovered by Meyer Palmer 1934 has recently been widely used knee osteoarthritis. We evaluated efficacy an intra-articular preparation containing sodium hyaluronate ankle. Methods: studied 16 patients aged 31 79 years (mean age, 43...

Background: High-grade calcaneal fractures represent a complex injury, with limited data to support the advisability of open reduction. Restoration foot and ankle kinematics during walking, which has been previously shown be significantly after nonoperative treatment, never studied operation. This study was designed address this lack information assess operation in respect. Methods: Twenty patients minimum 2 years Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) for high-grade were evaluated...

Abstract This retrospective study evaluated the economic consequences of delaying hip fracture surgery in 191 elderly patients. Data was collected regarding type, surgery, timing background diseases, postoperative hospital stay, and complications. In addition, calculation drugs administered to patients, cost blood transfusion, physiotherapy, laboratory examinations, radiographs, any financial data were evaluated. Spending more resources for performing within 48 hours is cost-effective than...
