Abstract

We evaluated the results of arthroscopic Bankart repair in patients with postraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. Sixteen patients (1 female, 15 males; mean age 29 years; range 17 to 37 years) underwent arthroscopic Bankart repair with suture anchors for posttraumatic recurrent anterior glenohumeral instability. Involvement was on the right side in 11 patients, on the left in five patients, and on the dominant side in 14 patients. The range of motion was assessed with a goniometer and muscle strength manually. Pre- and postoperative evaluations included physical examination, the Rowe scale for shoulder functions, anteroposterior and axillary radiographs, and magnetic resonance imaging. The mean follow-up was 32.9 months (range 24 to 55 months). The mean number of dislocations was eight (range 2 to 18) and the mean time from the first dislocation to surgery was 4.6 years (range 6 months to 18 years). The mean preoperative active forward elevation was 148 degrees , and active external rotation was 45 degrees , which increased postoperatively to 160 degrees and 48 degrees , respectively (p<0.05). According to the Rowe scale, the results were excellent or good in 12 patients (75.0%), fair in three patients (18.8%),...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.
