The purpose of this study is to characterize synovial fluid- (SF-) derived exosomes patients with gonarthrosis comparing two methods isolation and investigate their immune regulatory properties. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been isolated from inflamed SF by polymer precipitation method quantified Exocet kit nanoparticle tracking analysis. Vesicles expressed all the specific exosomal markers immunoblot FACS. After Exoquick, a relevant contamination complexes was detected, which required...
Long-term outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are good or excellent; however, 0.7%-20% patients suffer from recurrent instability due to graft failure. The purpose this paper was analyse failure aetiology and the possibilities revision surgical strategies, with a description our experience. We obtained optimal results in most patients.We retrospectively reviewed 42 who underwent surgery (43 revisions) relapsing after ACL between 2006 2015. used allografts 39 cases...
Reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is becoming treatment of choice in glenohumeral arthropathies with massive lesion the rotator cuff, due to a gradual extension indications and new designs that provide better outcome. In this study we compared two different reverse prosthesis designs, defined as Inlay (or typical Grammont type) relatively model Onlay (that preserves tuberosity bone stock). We analyzed clinical, biomechanical radiological outcomes, well complications RSA these groups.We...
We describe a 34-year-old man with 17-year history of multifocal fibrosclerosis resulting in unique neurologic complications. Episcleritis, orbital pseudotumor, and sclerosing cholangitis accompanied florid intracranial inflammatory pachymeningitis. The latter was associated blindness, multiple cranial neuropathies, pseudotumor cerebri, seizures. Extensive investigation failed to reveal an etiology. Corticosteroids were ineffective preventing progression the disorder, value antineoplastic...
We assessed the concurrent validity of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) Geriatric (GDS) against Hamilton Rating for (Ham-D) in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Forty-six non-demented PD were by a neurologist on Ham-D. Patients also completed four mood rating scales: HADS, GDS, VAS Face Scale. For HADS Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curves obtained positive negative predictive values (PPV, NPV) calculated different cut-off scores. Maximum discrimination between...
The nomenclature and the lack of consensus clinical evaluation imaging assessment in groin pain generate significant confusion this field. Groin Pain Syndrome Italian Consensus Conference has been organised order to prepare a document regarding taxonomy, for pain. A 1-day was on 5 February 2016, Milan (Italy). 41 experts with different backgrounds participated discussion. previously drafted discussed, eventually modified, finally approved by all members Conference. Unanimous reached...
A new posterior approach to the sciatic nerve in subgluteal region was developed. We describe our clinical experiences on 135 consecutive patients.All blocks were performed with a stimulator (stimulation frequency 2 Hz; intensity from 1 reduced < or = 0.5 mA before application). line drawn greater trochanter ischial tuberosity of femur; then, mid-point this line, second perpendicularly and extended caudally for 4 cm: end represented entry point needle. Sciatic stimulation elicited at mA;...
Abstract Background The role of episiotomy as a protective factor against pelvic floor disorders postpartum has been debated for many years, but its routine use hitherto discouraged in the literature. Comparisons between restrictive and existent literature, however, fail to include any consideration relating quality life. aim this study, therefore, is state preserving perineum from damage, order prevent influence on women's psycho-physical wellness after sixth month postpartum. Methods A...
Background: Ropivacaine is a new local anaesthetic, which compared to bupivacaine less toxic and shows greater sensory motor block dissociation. We hypothesised that treatment of postoperative pain with combined regimen continuous epidural infusion Patient‐Controlled Epidural Analgesia (PCEA) using ropivacaine could have given better results those we had obtained bupivacaine. Methods: Patients undergoing total hip replacement were randomly assigned two groups. They received analgesia for...
Osteochondral lesions are a common sports-related injury for which osteochondral grafting, including mosaicplasty, is an established treatment. Computer navigation has been gaining popularity in orthopaedic surgery to improve accuracy and precision.Navigation improves angle depth matching during harvest placement of grafts compared with conventional freehand open technique.Controlled laboratory study.Three cadaveric knees were used. Reference markers attached the femur, tibia,...
