Abstract

Nine ipsilateral fractures of the talus and calcaneus were treated at Tampa General Hospital between 1991 and 1994 and entered into the trauma registry of this level 1 trauma center. During this same period, a total of 78 talar fractures and 334 calcaneal fractures were entered into the registry. The patients who sustained this rare combined injury were studied retrospectively to characterize the fractures that occurred, examine the treatments instituted, and determine outcomes. Four patients had severe intra-articular damage of the subtalar joint surfaces and underwent either primary or delayed arthrodesis. This subgroup of patients was followed for an average of 39 months (range, 25-45 months), and all had excellent or good outcome as assessed by the Maryland Foot Score. Three patients had nondisplaced or avulsion-type fractures of both bones, which were treated with immobilization. These all healed well. One patient had a Hawkins type 2 talus fracture with an extra-articular avulsion fracture of the Achilles tendon. This patient did well with open reduction and internal fixation of both fractures. The final patient had a crushed lower extremity in association with her hindfoot injury, which resulted in primary below-knee amp...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.
