Abstract

The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters used to diagnose rotator cuff tears are weakly correlated to shoulder function. Our hypothesis was that adding 3-dimensional morphologic parameters resulting from biplanar radiographs (3DXR parameters) to the MRI parameters would improve this correlation. We assessed 52 patients with rotator cuff tears with an EOS Imaging radiographic examination, MRI study, and clinical evaluation of the shoulder, as well as the Constant score. The bones of the 52 shoulders were reconstructed 3-dimensionally, and eleven 3DXR parameters were automatically extracted. First, the trueness and reliability of these parameters were evaluated. Then, bivariate correlations between each parameter and the Constant score were made. A linear regression model was subsequently built to correlate the 11 parameters and 5 MRI findings with shoulder function at diagnosis, as assessed by the Constant score. The parameters showed good trueness and reliability of most 3DXR parameters. Supraspinatus tear extension, muscle atrophy, and the distance between the greater and deltoid tuberosities were the only parameters with a statistically significant correlation to a lower Constant score (P < .05) in the bivariate study....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.
