Abstract

The reported short- and intermediate-term results of mini-incision rotator cuff repair have been satisfactory. This study was carried out to assess whether these results are sustained in the long term. Seventy-nine consecutive mini-incision cuff repairs were initially reviewed and the results analyzed at a mean of 2 years after surgery by use of a subjective self-scoring system in which patients scored pain, function, active forward flexion, and strength, as well as patient satisfaction. Subsequently, 74 of the initial 79 patients were available for the second review at a mean of 7 years (range, 5-9 years). At 2 years, there were 74% good to excellent results, which improved to 84% at 7 years. Six patients had a poor result at 2 years, compared with 5 patients at 7 years. Within this group of 5 with a poor result, there were 4 who had subsequent trauma and markedly deteriorated to score as poor. Sixty-five percent of the compensation group had good to excellent results at a mean of 7 years compared with ninety percent of the non-compensation group. The manual workers within the workers' compensation subgroup did worse than the sedentary workers at 2 years; however, at the 7-year review, this difference was statistically no long...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.
