Various types of cellular injection have become a popular and costly treatment option for patients with knee osteoarthritis despite paucity literature establishing relative efficacy to each other or corticosteroid injections. Here we aimed identify the safety cell injections from autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate, adipose stromal vascular fraction allogeneic human umbilical cord tissue-derived mesenchymal cells, in comparison (CSI). The study was phase 2/3, four-arm parallel,...
Objective To determine whether ultrasound‐guided platelet‐rich plasma (PRP) injections are an effective treatment for chronic tendinopathies. Design A retrospective, cross‐sectional survey. Setting Four academic sports medicine centers from across the United States. Patients total of 180 men and women between ages 18 75 years who received PRP tendinopathy refractory to conventional treatments. Interventions Survey on satisfaction functional outcome. Main Outcome Measurements Perceived...
This study aimed to determine whether autologous orthobiologic tissue source affects pain and functional outcomes in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) who received microfragmented adipose (MFAT) or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection. We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data from BMAC MFAT injection for OA. Patients completed baseline follow-up surveys. Each survey included the Knee Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire, Emory...
To investigate whether attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) influences postconcussion recovery, as measured by computerized neurocognitive testing.This is a retrospective case control study.Computer laboratories across 10 high schools in the greater Atlanta, Georgia area.Immediate assessment and cognitive testing (ImPACT) scores of 70 athletes with self-reported diagnosis ADHD who sustained sport-related concussion were compared randomly selected age-matched group. Immediate over...
While extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT) may be an efficacious adjunctive treatment option for musculoskeletal injuries, current research is limited by significant heterogeneity within protocols. This study aims to establish international expert consensus recommendations on ESWT terminology, parameters, procedural considerations, contraindications and side effects in the application of sports injuries. A systematic literature search was performed use medicine injuries identify potential...
(1) Background: Patellar and Achilles tendon injuries have become increasingly prevalent, particularly among active populations athletes, leading to significant functional impairments. While B-Mode ultrasound has been useful in the diagnosis of these injuries, its capacity assess mechanical properties, such as stiffness, is limited. Shear wave elastography (SWE) offers a promising alternative by measuring tissue which may enhance evaluation health. Previous studies established that SWE can...
Abstract Knee-Osteoarthritis (Knee-OA) is a prevalent joint disorder lacking FDA-approved cell-therapies to halt its progression. This study uses single-cell RNA sequencing analyze bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) and stromal vascular fraction (SVF) samples in clinical trial of autologous cell therapies. Trial site-specific variability was significant BMAC, necessitating tailored normalization, whereas SVF less affected, likely due uniform subcutaneous fat sampling. Variance...
SUMMARY There is considerable interest amongst clinicians and researchers to create the optimal platelet product maximize outcomes with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. PRP has been widely introduced as a safe alternative for treating tendinopathies. However, there still limited clinical evidence describing components of supporting its use in trials. This article reviews current literature regarding role injections treatment recalcitrant tendinopathies different factors that could...
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant medical and economic burden. To understand systemic immune effects, we performed deep exploration of bone marrow aspirate concentrates (BMACs) from knee-OA patients via single-cell RNA sequencing proteomic analyses randomized clinical trial (MILES: NCT03818737). We found cellular alterations in the marrow, specifically MSCs, T cells NK cells, along with changes intra-tissue crosstalk during OA progression. Unlike previous studies focusing on injury...
The purpose of this series was to retrospectively characterize the ultrasound findings delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Institutional Review Board approved our study, and informed consent waived. A retrospective search radiology reports using key phrase "delayed-onset soreness" word "DOMS" from 2001 2015 teaching files completed identify cases. sonograms were reviewed by 3 fellowship-trained musculoskeletal radiologists consensus. Sonograms characterized with respect echogenicity...
