<h3>ABSTRACT</h3> <h3>Background:</h3> With the COVID-19 pandemic disrupting many facets of our society, physicians and patients have begun using telemedicine as a platform for delivery health care. One challenges in implementing spine care provider is completing comprehensive spinal examination. Currently, there no standardized methodology to complete full examination through telemedicine. <h3>Methods:</h3> We propose novel, remote that easily implemented telemedicine, where patient an...
Although pre-clinical models of pain are useful for defining relationships between biological mechanisms and pain, common methods testing peripheral sensitivity do not translate to the human experience. Facial grimace scales evaluate affective levels in rodent by capturing scoring spontaneous facial expression. But, Rat Grimace Scale (RGS) has assessed disorder temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain. A rat model TMJ induced jaw loading (1 hr/day 7 days) was used investigate time course RGS...
Slipped upper femoral epiphysis (SUFE) has an incidence of 1 to 7 per 100,000 adolescents in the United Kingdom and its link with obesity is well established. With increasing number pediatric orthopaedic patients presenting vitamin D deficiency, aim our study was establish prevalence deficiency SUFE department whether a low level increases time proximal physeal fusion after surgical fixation.A total 27 patients, female male ratio 17:10 mean age 11.5 years (SD=1.99), range 8 16 years,...
Mechanical overloading of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and biochemical changes, like inflammation hypoxia, contribute to cartilage degeneration pain associated with osteoarthritis (OA). Yet, how contributes early dysregulation chondrocytes is not understood, limiting development diagnostics treatments for TMJ OA. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1α/2α in were evaluated at Days 8 15 a rat model induced by jaw loading (1 h/day 7 days) using immunohistochemistry compared between cases that...
Background: Relapsed medulloblastoma (MB) poses a significant therapeutic challenge due to its highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have struggled mitigate this challenge, largely low T-cell infiltration and minimal PD-L1 expression. Identifying the mechanisms driving is crucial for developing more effective immunotherapies. Methods: We utilize syngeneic mouse model investigate immune microenvironment of MB compare our findings transcriptomic...
Abstract Degeneration is a hallmark of painful joint disease and mediated by many proteases that degrade tissues, including collagenases. We hypothesized purified bacterial collagenase would initiate nociceptive cascades in the degrading capsular ligament’s matrix activating innervating pain fibers. Intra-articular rat facet was investigated for its effects on behavioral sensitivity, degeneration, pathways peripheral central nervous systems. In parallel, co-culture collagen gel model...
Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is the most common helminthic central nervous system infection (CNS) in Western hemisphere and cause of acquired epilepsy worldwide. Due to its relatively prolonged latent period clinical similarity other infectious diseases - including bacterial or viral meningitis infections NCC may be difficult diagnose, especially for clinicians who rarely encounter it.This case report discusses a patient with obstructive hydrocephalus eosinophilic secondary racemose NCC. The...
Chronic joint pain is a major healthcare challenge with staggering socioeconomic burden. Pain from synovial joints mediated by the innervated collagenous capsular ligament that surrounds and encodes nociceptive signals. The interstitial collagenase MMP-1 elevated in painful pathologies has many roles collagen regulation signal transduction. Yet, role of mediating nociception remains poorly understood. goal this study was to determine whether exogenous intra-articular induces spinal facet...
Physician-patient interaction through email poses several concerns regarding the security, efficiency, and misinterpretation of critical information. Incoming emails received by a single university-based physician in 2013 were analyzed order to determine whether general non-patient specific is appropriate for patient use. Emails divided into seven categories: Informational, Academic, Advertisement, Organization/Department/ University, Mission Critical, Personal, Patient. A total 9,102 read...
Through in-depth interviews with nonprofit workers and full-time union organizers in the sector, this qualitative study examines causes, outcomes, workers’ perceptions of recent worker unionization movement. We found that chronic low pay, substandard working conditions, a concern for compromised services to clients were impetus labor organizing. Interviews revealed existing efforts yielded significant wins workers. This shows organizations could figure out resources reprioritize costs even...
Self-harming does not just affect adolescents – it is increasingly becoming a problem for primary-aged pupils. Charity selfharmUK provides important advice.
