History There are approximately 12,500 spinal cord injuries in the US annually [15], with global incidence ranging from 133,000 to 226,000 cases [8]. The cost associated is substantial, estimates of average lifetime direct care USD 1.5 4.7 million [15]. Motor vehicles leading cause injury, and becoming an increasingly common developing nations demographics patients have broadened time, however, males still account for 80% new American Spinal Injury Association was created 1973 facilitate...
In a large cohort of osteogenesis imperfecta type V (OI V) patients (17 individuals from 12 families), we identified the same mutation in 5' untranslated region (5'UTR) interferon-induced transmembrane protein 5 (IFITM5) gene by whole exome and Sanger sequencing (IFITM5 c.-14C > T) provide detailed description their phenotype. This leads to creation novel start codon adding five residues IFITM5 was recently reported several other OI families. The variability phenotype quite even within...
In Brief Study Design. Experimental animal study of convective transport in the intervertebral disc. Objective. To quantify effects mechanical loading rate on net into healthy and degenerative disc vivo. Summary Background Data. Intervertebral degeneration is linked with a reduction to avascular Enhancing nutrition is, therefore, potential strategy slow or reverse cascade. Convection induced by mechanism augment diffusion small molecules Methods. Skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits...
Objective: Golf is a widely popular sport in the United States with 29 million Americans participating game. With an aging population and increased incidence of glenohumeral degenerative arthritis, number active golfers requiring total shoulder replacement on rise. This study aims to evaluate effect golfing activity. Design: Retrospective; questionnaire. Setting: Survey. Participants: Three hundred sixty-seven patients were identified based Current Procedural Terminology codes who underwent...
Background: Knee pain is one of the most common reasons for outpatient visits in U.S. The great majority such cases can be effectively evaluated through physical examination and judicious use radiography. Despite this, an increasing number magnetic resonance images (MRIs) knee are being ordered patients with incomplete work-ups or inappropriate indications. We hypothesized that MRIs by orthopaedic providers were more likely to result changes diagnoses and/or plans care than those...
Dedicated orthopaedic operating rooms (DOORs) are increasingly popular solutions to reducing after-hours procedures, physician fatigue, and elective schedule disruptions. Although the benefits surgeons well understood, there comparatively few studies that explore effects of DOORs on patient care. We compared treatments outcomes for all consecutive patients with femoral neck fractures, 4 years before after implementation a DOOR-based schedule.Retrospective case-control study.Level 1 academic...

The standard for evaluating scoliosis is PA radiographs using Cobb angle to measure curve magnitude. Newer PACS systems allow easier calculations, but have not improved inter/intra observer precision of measurement. and its progression are important determine treatment; therefore, variability optimal. This study seeks demonstrate that a performance equivalent achieved in the manual method possible novel computer algorithm with limited user input. authors compared angles from predetermined...
Chronic musculoskeletal pain results from a complex interplay of mechanical, biochemical, psychological, and social factors. Effective management is markedly different that acute pain. Understanding the physiology transmission, modulation, perception crucial for effective management. Pharmacologic nonpharmacologic therapies such as psychotherapy biofeedback exercises can be used to manage chronic Evidence-based treatment recommendations have been made conditions frequently encountered by...
(Abstracted from N Engl J Med 2023;389:11–21) Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is a serious complication of childbirth, and delays in diagnosis treatment can cause major complications or fatalities. One method early detection blood-collection drape, possibly conjunction with other tests treatments.
