Function of the upper extremities in hereditary multiple exostoses

Abstract

The radiographic anatomy, functional status, and impairment ratings of twenty-eight patients (fifty-six extremities) who had hereditary multiple exostoses were evaluated. The patient (or the parent) also subjectively graded the function of each extremity with use of a standard rating-assessment tool. Degenerative joint disease was evident in three (5 per cent) of the fifty-six extremities at the time of follow-up, when the patients were an average of twenty-one years old. With use of the hand test of Jebsen et al., the average score was in the forty-seventh percentile for the dominant extremity and in the twenty-eighth percentile for the non-dominant extremity. Loss of pronation and supination increased with increasing age. Dislocation of the radial head was significantly associated with negative ulnar variance (p=0.008) and with the impairment rating (p=0.001), but not with the subjective score or with the performance on the hand test of Jebsen et al. So-called whole-person impairment ratings ranged from 0 to 17 per cent (average, 5 per cent). It has been our experience that deformities of the upper extremity in patients who have hereditary multiple exostoses are well tolerated and lead to little loss of function as measured b...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.
