1 | Changes in Dermatomal Somatosensory Evoked Potentials according to Stimulation Intensity and Severity of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | OBJECTIVE: To investigate the change of latency of cervical dermatomal somatosensory evoked potential (DSEP) according to stimulation intensity (SI) and severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). METHODS: Stimulation sites were the C6, C7, and C8 dermatomal areas. Two stimulation intensities 1.5xsensory threshold (ST) a... |
1 | Surgical Arthroplasty Options for Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy | Glenohumeral Joint OA | Charles Neer described rotator cuff tear arthropathy (RCTA) in 1977. The criteria for its diagnosis consist of a chronic rotator cuff tear accompanied by degeneration of the glenohumeral articular surfaces. Approximately 4% of all full-thickness rotator cuff tears evolve into RCTA. The incompetent rotator cuff leads to... |
0 | Increased renal retention of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate after nephron-sparing surgery | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | UNLABELLED: Nephron-sparing surgery has become established as an effective treatment for localized renal cell carcinoma when preservation of renal function is necessary. The surgery usually requires temporary renal artery occlusion and may induce ischemic renal damage. In this study, we retrospectively evaluated renal ... |
0 | Lower limb acute compartment syndrome after colorectal surgery in prolonged lithotomy position | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | PURPOSE: Acute compartment syndrome in patients undergoing prolonged colorectal procedures is uncommon but can have catastrophic consequences for the patient with the development of metabolic acidosis, myoglobinuric renal failure, Volkmann's contracture, limb loss, and death. The potential to produce long-term disabili... |
0 | Articular changes associated with a flexion deformity in rheumatoid and osteoarthritic knees | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | In a consecutive series of 87 operations for knee replacement prospective observations were made of the pattern of articular destruction in the form of a triangle of erosion or osteophyte formation, which is seen on the medial femoral condyle, sometimes with an associated strip on the lateral femoral condyle. These are... |
0 | Symptoms of endocrine treatment and outcome in the BIG 1-98 study | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | There may be a relationship between the incidence of vasomotor and arthralgia/myalgia symptoms and treatment outcomes for postmenopausal breast cancer patients with endocrine-responsive disease who received adjuvant letrozole or tamoxifen. Data on patients randomized into the monotherapy arms of the BIG 1-98 clinical t... |
0 | Recovery of the menisci and articular cartilage of runners after cessation of exercise: additional aspects of in vivo investigation based on 3-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | BACKGROUND: It is still unclear whether long-distance running has a deleterious effect on joint health; therefore, this study was undertaken to examine the rate of recovery from alterations occurring at the knee joint in marathon runners due to loading.
HYPOTHESIS: Tibial, patellar, and meniscal cartilaginous volumes a... |
0 | PTSD symptoms and perception of cognitive problems: The roles of posttraumatic cognitions and trauma coping self-efficacy | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with mild neurocognitive deficits, yet clients often complain of cognitive problems that exceed what their objective performance demonstrates. In addition, PTSD is associated with negative appraisals about the self, traumatic event, and one's ability to cope... |
0 | Fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal bone. Medium-term results in 28 cases treated by percutaneous transverse pinning | DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections) | The purpose of this study was to report the medium-term results in 28 patients affected by closed displaced fractures of the neck of the fifth metacarpal bone (boxer's fracture) with an associated severe swelling of the hand, who were treated with percutaneous transverse K-wire pinning, to verify the effectiveness of t... |
0 | Treatment of cutout of a lag screw of a dynamic hip screw in an intertrochanteric fracture | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Sixteen consecutive patients with cutout of a lag screw of a dynamic hip screw fixation in an intertrochanteric fracture were treated with reinsertion of a lag screw, bone cement supplementation in the neck-trochanter, and subtrochanteric valgus osteotomy. Postoperatively, patients were permitted to ambulate with prote... |
0 | Daycase Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction: Success, pitfalls and patient pain scores | Surgical Management of Osteoarthritis of the Knee CPG | Daycase Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstructions with hamstring autograft have been undertaken in this trust for the last 6 months.
