Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the results of drainage and continuous antibiotic irrigation of the medullary canal to mediate hematogenous osteomyelitis of the tibia in children. Data were analyzed from 376 patients (388 tibiae) treated from January 1982 to December 2004. The average age at the time of surgery was 5 years and 9 months. The diagnosis of mediate hematogenous osteomyelitis was based on clinical examination, plain radiographs, scintigraphy, ultrasound, and bacterial cultures. Treatment included two groups: (i) group I [from January 1981 to September 1984 in 108 patients (112 tibiae)] who were operated on according to traditional surgical procedure (pus drainage), (ii) group II [from October 1984 to December 2004 in 268 patients (276 tibiae)] who were operated on according to cortical bone fenestrations with continuous antibiotic irrigation. Postoperative antibiotic(s) with the intravenous antibiotic therapy were administered for 2 weeks and oral antibiotic therapy for 4 weeks. The total time of antibiotic therapy was 6 weeks. There were 152 (40.4%) female and 224 (59.6%) male patients. Unilateral involvement was the most common, with the left tibia affected in 119 (31.6%) patients, and the right in 245...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
