Vasomotor function was quantified by measuring, with ... |
0 | The promise of γδT cells and the γδT cell receptor for cancer immunotherapy | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | γδT cells form an important part of adaptive immune responses against infections and malignant transformation. The molecular targets of human γδT cell receptors (TCRs) remain largely unknown, but recent studies have confirmed the recognition of phosphorylated prenyl metabolites, lipids in complex with CD1 molecules... |
0 | Cellulitis and related skin infections | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | The location, appearance and clinical course of a skin infection can be used to make a reasonable assumption about its etiology. By carefully considering such factors as entry site and immunocompetence, the physician can make a rational decision about hospitalization and treatment. When appropriate, traditional antibio... |
0 | Complications after 344 damage-control open celiotomies | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | BACKGROUND: We reviewed our experience with the open abdomen and hypothesized that the known high wound complication rates were related to the timing and method of wound closure.
METHODS: All trauma admissions from 1995 through 2002 requiring an open abdomen and temporary abdominal coverage were included. The study gro... |
1 | Advice on Standardized Diagnosis and Treatment for Spinal Diseases during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak started in December 2019 that caused difficulties for clinical work. Practical work experience in our spinal outpatient and emergency department during the COVID-19 pandemic is summarized in this article, with combined evidence-based medical evidence to explore a standardize... |
0 | No evidence of superiority in reducing outliers of component alignment for patient-specific instrumentation for total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | Patient-specific instrumentation (PSI) technology has been developed to improve alignment when implanting total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and is a new focus in the orthopaedic community. Current controversial data concerning PSI are discussed. A systematic review to compare PSI with conventional instrumentation and asses... |
0 | A pilot study of surgical telementoring for leg fasciotomy | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | METHODS: Three anaethetists and one critical care physician were recruited as operators. They were directed to perform a two-incision leg fasciotomy on a Thiel-embalmed cadaver under the guidance of a remotely located orthopaedic surgeon. The operating physician and the surgeon (mentor) were connected through software ... |
0 | Wrist arthroplasty for treatment of infected distal radius nonunion using free vascularised proximal fibular bone graft | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | Objective: Management of infected distal radius nonunion with a bone defect and radiocarpal and distal radio-ulnar joint arthritis is considered an orthopaedic challenge. Although several methods have been described but none provide a satisfactory solution. Free vascularised fibula bone graft constitutes a good option ... |
0 | Modifiable factors associated with postoperative delirium after hip fracture repair: An age-stratified retrospective cohort study | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: Postoperative delirium in hip fracture patients is common and is associated with substantial morbidity and consumption of resources. OBJECTIVE: Using data from the USA, we aimed to examine the relationship between postoperative delirium and (modifiable) peri-operative factors mentioned in the American Geria... |
1 | Normal leg compartment pressures in adult Nigerians using the Whitesides method | DOD - Acute Comp Syndrome CPG | In Caucasians, the range of normal intracompartmental pressure of the leg is from 0 mmHg to 15 mmHg. In the literature, such measurements have not been done in Africa to identify normal leg intracompartmental pressures. We have sought to identify the normal range of pressures in such a population of Nigerians, and to d... |
0 | Effects of teriparatide [rhPTH (1-34)] treatment on structural geometry of the proximal femur in elderly osteoporotic women | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | INTRODUCTION: We evaluated effects of teriparatide (rDNA origin) injection [teriparatide, rhPTH (1-34), TPTD] on hip structure among a subset 558 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Fracture Prevention Trial.METHODS: Patients were randomized to once-daily, self-administered subcutaneous injections of placebo (N = 189)... |
