Hypothesis: This study evaluated the intra-rater and inter-rater correlation of 3 commonly used x-ray image classifications and defined the clinical factors most correlated with a surgical recommendation for a hemiarthroplasty or a reverse total…

Background: Spondylolysis defects detected by nuclear scintigraphy but not by plain radiographs represent early lesions. Functional outcome and eventual bony union of these defects are unknown. Hypothesis: Defects with greater degree of healing…

This paper investigates two model-free methods for numerical deconvolution of recirculating indicator concentration curves. The two methods, damped least squares and discrete orthogonal polynomial deconvolution, are applied to simulated data to…

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was the third leading cause of mortality in the United States in 2009 and accounts for millions of dollars in health care expenses annually. It is characterized by slow declines in functional ability and…

Resolution of pulmonary edema involved active transepithelial sodium transport. Although several of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved are relatively well understood, it is only recently that the regulation of these mechanisms in injured…

Numerous physiologic derangements can result when body-builders attempt to augment their muscle definition by using diuretics, potassium supplements, and dietary restrictions., A case report describes a 27-year-old male professional bodybuilder who…

Morphometry and oxidative capacity of slow-twitch (type I) and fast-twitch (type IIa and IIb) muscle fibers obtained from vastus lateralis needle biopsies were compared between younger (21-30 yr) and older (51-62 yr) normal fit (maximal O-2 uptake =…

Objectives: We evaluated the economic aspects of an orthopaedic trauma section at a regional Level 1, semi-academic community hospital. This study analyzes the economics of a dedicated hospital-based orthopaedic trauma program. Methods: Institutional…

Contractions of rat thoracic aorta to vasopressin WP) are threefold higher in females (F) than in males (M), primarily because nitric oxide (NO) attenuation of contraction is greater in M. To determine the role of the androgen receptor (AR) in this…

Mechanical forces play a role in the development and evolution of extracellular matrices (ECMs) found in connective tissue. Gravitational forces acting on mammalian tissues increase the net muscle forces required for movement of vertebrates. As body…

Eczema herpeticum (EH), first described in 1887, is characterized by a disseminated skin infection consisting of dome-shaped papules and is associated with fever, lymphadenopathy, and malaise. The condition commonly occurs on the trunk, head, and…

Stimulation of active fluid transport with beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) agonists can accelerate the resolution of alveolar edema. However, chronic betaAR-agonist administration may cause betaAR desensitization and downregulation that may impair…

The contributions of amiloride-sensitive and -insensitive fractions of alveolar fluid clearance in adult ventilated rats were studied under control conditions and after beta -adrenergic stimulation. Rats were instilled with a 5% albumin solution…

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether prolonged hospital length of stay (HLOS) and rehabilitation facility length of stay (RLOS) lead to poor functional outcomes, defined as a Functional Independence Measure (FIM) score of…
