Objective Age and lesion level are believed to represent outcome predictors in rehabilitation of patients with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) exoskeleton enables perform a voluntary controlled gait pattern via an electromyography-triggered neuromuscular feedback system, has been introduced as temporary training tool SCI. aim this prospective pre- postintervention study was examine functional outcomes function age incomplete SCI (iSCI) or complete (cSCI)...
ABSTRACT Wound infection is a common risk for patients with chronic nonhealing wounds, causing high morbidity and mortality. Currently, systemic antibiotic treatment the therapy of choice, despite often leading to several side effects an insufficient tissue penetration due impaired blood supply. If systemically delivered, moxifloxacin penetrates well into inflammatory blister fluid, muscle, subcutaneous adipose tissues might therefore be possible option topical skin infected wounds. In this...
Retrospective cohort study.The objective of this study is to compare the incidence infection in patients who do and not receive blood transfusions major deformity surgery (>8 levels).Postoperative infections increase morbidity mortality rates spine generate additional costs for health care system. It has been proposed that risk wound infection, urinary tract pneumonia, sepsis.A total 56 met criteria, receiving involving fusion 8 levels or more. Patient-specific characteristics, starting...
Systematic review.(1) What are the surgical indications? Have they changed over time since year 2000? (2) is current approaches of choice? Do vary by geographical region? (3) most common outcome measures following surgery?Electronic databases and reference lists key articles were searched from database inception January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2016 identify studies specifically evaluating indications, approaches, for spinal tuberculosis.Six randomized controlled trials identified our search...
Longitudinal prospective study.Whether 1-year HAL-BWSTT of chronic spinal cord injured patients can improve independent ambulated mobility further as a function training frequency, after an initial 3-month period.Eight with SCI were enrolled. They initially received full standard physical therapy and neurorehabilitation in the acute/subacute posttrauma phase. During this trial, all first underwent daily (5 per week) for 12 weeks. Subsequently, these performed 40-week session frequency either...
Lumbar stenosis has become one of the most common spinal pathologies and that results in neurogenic claudication, back leg pain, disability. The standard procedure is still an open laminectomy, which involves wide muscle retraction extensive removal posterior structures. This can lead to instability need for additional fusion. We present a systemized detailed approach unilateral laminotomy bilateral decompression, we believe superior laminectomy terms intraoperative visualization,...
Cone-beam computed tomography gives us much useful morphological information about the mandibular bone. Many studies of mandible include findings from this technique. However, there have been no endoscopic mandible. Sixteen sides eight dry mandibles resected cadavers (age range 38-83 years) were examined by endoscopy. The head endoscope was 2.0 mm in diameter. We foramen, lingula, mylohyoid groove, and canal. grooves showed variations such as double canals. lingula located superior or medial...
Intermediate Care Units (IMCU) are established in many hospitals to better match the requirements of patient care with respect their personnel, equipment and other resources. This should relieve Intensive Unit (ICU) capacities for more severely ill patients reduce readmissions ICU. study was conducted investigate effects IMCU use on ICU populations.This is a retrospective analysis German National Registry from years 2000 2010.We included 39 ICUs high 11 low use. Patients were younger (mean...
