Arthroscopic capsular release is more effective in pain relief than conservative treatment in patients with frozen shoulder.

Background: Frozen shoulder is a common medical condition, but the ideal therapeutic method is yet to be determined. Our aim was to analyze the pain-relieving effect of different treatment options used for the management of this disease.

Methods: Medical records of 59 patients (22 male, 37 female, average age: 55.

[Scapula dyskinesis in medium size full-thickness supraspinatus muscle tears].

Introduction: Scapular motion abnormality in rotator cuff tears is a well-known symptom, but its significance is not clear. Some authors consider it as a cause of rotator cuff tear, others as a consequence of the disease.

Objective: The aim of our study was to assess the changes in scapular motion in medium size full-thickness rotator cuff tear of degenerative origin compared to a healthy control group.

Visual temporal window of integration as revealed by the visual mismatch negativity event-related potential to stimulus omissions.

We studied whether, similarly to the auditory modality, short-period temporal integration processes occur in vision. Event-related potentials (ERP) were recorded for occasional stimulus omissions from sequences of patterned visual stimuli. A posterior negative component emerged only when the constant stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was shorter than 150 ms.
