Optogenetic technologies have been the subject of great excitement within scientific community for their ability to demystify complex neurophysiological pathways in central (CNS) and peripheral nervous systems (PNS). The surrounding optogenetics has also extended clinic with a trial ChR2 treatment retinitis pigmentosa currently underway additional trials anticipated near future. In this work, we identify cause loss-of-expression response transdermal illumination an optogenetically active...
Managing rerupture of the triceps brachii tendon after surgical repair is challenging due to poor tissue quality, retraction, and adhesions. This clinical scenario often requires augmentation with native or allografts. Traditional techniques include V-Y advancement, reinforced advancement double row suture bridge fixation, allograft augmentation. paper presents a novel method fixation using an Achilles calcaneal bone block which aims enhance previously described techniques. new technique...
During robotic teleoperation, the dynamics of master manipulators and control remote-side instruments impose challenges on motor system human operator, may impact performance learning. In teleoperated robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, there is a clear correlation between patient outcomes surgeon's case experience. However, effect teleoperator skills relationship these are unknown. We used da Vinci Research Kit, custom research version Surgical System, to compare open needle-driving...
Case: A 60-year-old man sustained a massive irreparable rotator cuff tear and axillary nerve palsy with deltoid dysfunction after an anterior shoulder dislocation. He underwent staged reverse end-to-side radial-to-axillary transfer return of function allowing for subsequent arthroplasty. At 1 year postoperatively, he returned to full activity. Conclusion: Irreparable tears complicated by can be effectively treated approach followed
Undertreated digital nerve injuries may result in sensory deficits and pain. Early recognition treatment will optimize outcomes, providers should maintain a high index of suspicion when assessing patients with open wounds. Acute, sharp lacerations be amenable to direct repair while avulsion or delayed repairs require adequate resection bridging autograft, processed allograft, conduits. Conduits are most appropriate for gaps less than 15 mm, allografts have demonstrated reliable outcomes...
Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) arthritis is one of the most common and debilitating pathologies evaluated by hand surgeon, affecting up to 35% individuals over 55 years age. Though multifactorial in etiology, dorsal radial subluxation thumb CMC due incompetency volar beak ligament thought be among important factors contribution arthritis. Multiple operative interventions have been proposed best address this pathology. In United States, trapeziectomy with reconstruction tendon interposition...
Purpureocillium lilacinum is a filamentous fungus commonly found in soil that has been recognized as an opportunistic pathogen. Cutaneous infections with are relatively rare, and they usually occur individuals some predisposing factors such minor trauma or pre-existing skin conditions. Infections immunocompetent unexpected due to the fungus’s typically low pathogenicity robust immune response of healthy individuals. In hosts, serves effective barrier against many fungal infections.
