Abstract

Currently, there is little information on the results of reimplantation after previous resection for an infected shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to determine the rate of recurrent infection and clinical results. Between 1975 and 2000, 4 patients with a resection arthroplasty from a previously infected shoulder arthroplasty underwent subsequent reimplantation of a prosthesis. The time interval from resection arthroplasty to reimplantation ranged from 7 months to 5.5 years. The mean clinical follow-up was 7.4 years (range, 2-15 years). There were no patients with recurrent infection. At the most recent follow-up, 2 patients had no pain, 1 had slight pain, and 1 had moderate pain. Mean elevation improved from 60 degrees to 80 degrees, and external rotation improved from 13 degrees to 50 degrees. With regard to patient satisfaction, 1 patient was much better, 2 were better, and 1 was the same. There were 2 satisfactory results and 2 unsatisfactory results. Reimplantation of a shoulder arthroplasty after a previous resection arthroplasty for infection can be performed with a low risk of reinfection. However, arthroplasty in this setting is especially challenging because of the potential for significant bone and ...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.
