<i>Background:</i> Open spina bifida is the most complex congenital abnormality compatible with long-term survival. This report outlines 20- to 25-year outcome for our original cohort of patients a myelomeningocele treated in nonselective, prospective manner. <i>Methods:</i> Of initial 118 children, 71 were available recent review. Nineteen have been lost follow-up and 28 died. Data collected on: motor level, shunt status, education/employment, seizure history,...
Background: Injuries in collegiate ice hockey can result significant time lost from play. The identification of modifiable risk factors relating to a player’s physical fitness allows the development focused training and injury prevention programs targeted at reducing these risks. Purpose: To determine ability preseason outcomes predict in-season on-ice male players. Study Design: Prognostic cohort study. Level Evidence: 3. Methods: Athlete demographics, percentage body fat, aerobic capacity...
Leftover prescription opioids pose risks to children and adolescents, yet many parents keep these medications in the home. Our objective this study was determine if providing a behavioral disposal method (ie, Nudge) with or without Scenario-Tailored Opioid Messaging Program (STOMP) (risk-enhancement education) improves parents' opioid-disposal behavior after their children's use.
Background: The 6th International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport guidelines identified that measuring autonomic nervous system dysfunction using orthostatic vital signs (VSs) is an important part of the clinical evaluation; however, there are limited data frequency captured via VSs after concussion. Purpose: To compare changes heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), and diastolic (DBP) between athletes with acute sport-related concussion (SRC) control athletes. Study...
The purpose of this study was (1) to determine which risk factors for patellar instability were associated with the presence patellofemoral cartilage lesions and (2) how lesion presence, size, grade affect postoperative disease-specific quality life.Preoperative, intraoperative, demographic, anthropometric (body mass index, Beighton score, hip rotation), radiographic (crossover sign, trochlear bump), morphology (presence, location, grade), outcomes data (Banff Patella Instability Instrument...
There has been a surge of interest recently in theories the term structure rates.' A subject which such obvious implications for monetary and debt policies is not likely ever to fall into obscurity, but last few years have particularly full debate. One stimulating influences discussion work David Meiselman, published,2 putting forward hypothesis with respect rates market U.S. corporate bonds. Meiselman's hypothesis, based on an expectations theory bond behaviour, was convincingly supported...
Osteochondral allograft implantation is a form of cartilage transplant in which cylindrical graft and subchondral bone from donor implanted into patient's prepared articular defect site. No standard exists for matching the thickness recipient. The goal this study was to use finite element (FE) analysis identify effect mismatches between recipient on stresses patellar transplants. Two types FE models were used: patient-specific 3D simplified 2D models. highlighted geometric features produced...
Osteochondral allograft transplantation is an effective technique for repairing large lesions of the medial femoral condyle (MFC), but its use limited by graft availability.The present study aimed to determine whether contralateral lateral (LFC) allografts can provide acceptable surface match posterolateral MFC characteristic classic osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The hypothesis was that LFC and will similar contour matches in all 4 quadrants OCD.Controlled laboratory study.Ten...

✓ The case of an infant with a peculiar tumorous malformation the cerebellum is described. tumor apparently developed as exophytic, hypertrophic sprout inferior vermis. It had monstrous appearance resembling crab, metameric body and multiple pairs limbs attached to folia both cerebellar hemispheres. Histologically, lesion was formed by poorly differentiated neuroepithelial cells without any evidence organization into nuclei, cortex, or fascicles. Clinically, behaved in indolent manner did...
Background: Studies have demonstrated the acceptability of using a contralateral nonorthotopic lateral femoral condyle (LFC) graft for circular medial (MFC) osteochondral defect up to 20 25 mm in diameter. Larger oblong defects can now be managed either overlapping circle grafts or single oblong-shaped allograft (OCA). Purpose: To determine if an LFC OCA attain acceptable surface contour match compared with ipsilateral MFC technique large MFC. Study Design: Controlled laboratory study....
Objective Supply-demand mismatch of medial femoral condyle (MFC) osteochondral allografts (OCAs) remains a rate-limiting factor in the treatment defects condyle. Surface contour mapping was used to determine whether contralateral lateral (LFC) versus ipsilateral MFC OCA differs alignment donor:native subchondral bone for large MFC. Design Thirty fresh-frozen human condyles were matched by tibial width into 10 groups 3 (MFC recipient, donor, and LFC donor) each cartilage surgeons (90...
Background: Load management is a sports science concept describing the execution of well-established training principles to measure athletic workloads and enhance performance. The term ‘load management’ has become common in media refer much wider range scenarios, including idea that by limiting regular season workload for athletes, their health playoff performance will improve. Varying links between load have been demonstrated baseball soccer. purpose this study was objectively assess impact...
It is difficult to estimate the accurate onset of symptoms clinically resulting from Chiari II malformation. Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs) may be a useful method in selection potential candidates for surgery. We studied 153 BAEPs 131 asymptomatic infants under 6 months age with meningomyelocele (MMC). Both wave latencies and interpeak (IPLs) gradually became shorter during first life MMC. In particular, shortening III–V IPLs I–V was observed 1 4–6 these infants. These...
