Abstract

Considerable variability exists for isokinetic testing of the shoulder rotators, leaving the clinician in a quandry concerning the most appropriate method for patient evaluation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate concentric and eccentric rotational strength in the scapular and neutral planes for the surgical and nonsurgical shoulders. Fifteen males consented to be tested during a 90-minute isokinetic session. Both shoulders for each patient were tested concentrically (240 degrees/sec) and eccentrically (120 degrees/sec) in the scapular and neutral planes. Patient positioning was maintained through the use of a goniometer, plumb line, and floor grid system. Following a warmup, five maximal effort reciprocal internal and external rotation concentric and eccentric contractions were evaluated using multiple two-way analyses of variance (shoulder x plane) with repeated measures. Results indicated no statistically significant differences between the surgical or nonsurgical shoulders for either concentric (p = .063-.247) or eccentric (p = .460-.840) modes, regardless of test plane. No statistically significant differences were observed eccentrically between test planes (p = .06-.470), but the scapular plane produced significan...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.
