Abstract

This paper reports the conclusions from a clinical, radiological and mathematical analysis of 126 patients with rotator cuff ruptures who were treated by operation. There were 83 men and 43 women. The mean age was 53.4 years and the average follow-up period was 3.5 years. According to a new method of scoring, an acceptable result was achieved in 78% of cases (excellent in 29%, good in 23%, and fair in 26%). The chi-square and the two tailed t-tests indicated that the following preoperative or operative variables influenced the results significantly: time away from work before operation (p less than 0.001); operative delay (p less than 0.001); the number of operations on the rotator cuff (p less than 0.001); atrophy of the spinati muscles (p less than 0.001); degenerative changes of the greater tuberosity (p less than 0.001); the heaviness of the patient's work (p less than 0.005); the extent of the resection of the acromion (p less than 0.005) and indication for operation (pain, lack of motion or both) (p less than 0.025). According to regression and covariance analyses, these factors independently influenced the final outcome. The following variables did not significantly predict or influence the operative result: age of the p...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.
