Return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review.

The main goal of this study was to determine the rate of return to sport (RTS) after shoulder arthroplasty.A systematic review of the literature was performed using the PRISMA guidelines. All clinical studies written in English, French or German, with a level of evidence of 1 to 4, and evaluating return to sport after shoulder arthroplasty, were included.

Shoulder biomechanics in normal and selected pathological conditions.

The stability of the glenohumeral joint depends on soft tissue stabilizers, bone morphology and dynamic stabilizers such as the rotator cuff and long head of the biceps tendon. Shoulder stabilization techniques include anatomic procedures such as repair of the labrum or restoration of bone loss, but also non-anatomic options such as remplissage or tendon transfers.Rotator cuff repair should restore the cuff anatomy, reattach the rotator cable and respect the coracoacromial arch whenever possible.

Clinical and radiographic predictors of acute compartment syndrome in the treatment of tibial shaft fractures: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between epidemiological, clinical and radiographic factors of patients with tibial shaft fractures and the occurrence of acute compartment syndrome.

Methods: 270 consecutive adult patients sustaining 273 tibial shaft fractures between January 2005 and December 2009 were included in this retrospective cohort study. The outcome measure was acute compartment syndrome.

Non-hip/non-vertebral fractures - How to treat best?

Fractures of the extremities in the elderly constitute more than two-thirds of all fragility fractures befalling frail, osteoporotic and sarcopenic patients. Although treatment controversies abound, consensus exists. Upper extremity fractures hinder activities of daily living and are debilitating.

Improvement in mental health following total hip arthroplasty: the role of pain and function.

Background: Mental health has been shown to improve after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Little is known about the role of pain and function in this context. We assessed whether change in mental health was associated with improvement in pain and function 1 year post-surgery.

Registry stakeholders.

Clinical registries are health information systems, which have the mission to collect multidimensional real-world data over the long term, and to generate relevant information and actionable knowledge to address current serious healthcare problems.This article provides an overview of clinical registries and their relevant stakeholders, focussing on registry structure and functioning, each stakeholder's specific interests, and on their involvement in the registry's information input and output.Stakeholders of clinical registries include the patients, healthcare providers (professionals and facilities), financiers (government, insurance companies), public health and regulatory agencies, industry, the research community and the media.

A central hydrophobic E1 region controls the pH range of hepatitis C virus membrane fusion and susceptibility to fusion inhibitors.

Background & Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes chronic liver disease. Antivirals have been developed and cure infection. However, resistance can emerge and salvage therapies with alternative modes of action could be useful.

Shoulder apprehension: A multifactorial approach.

Shoulder apprehension is related to changes in functional cerebral networks induced by dislocations, peripheral neuromuscular lesions and persistent mechanical glenohumeral instability consisting of micro-motion.All the damage to the osseous and soft-tissue stabilizers of the shoulder, as well as neurologic impairment persisting even after stabilization, must be properly identified in order to offer the best possible treatment to the patient.There is growing evidence supporting the use of a global multimodal approach, involving, on the one hand, shoulder 'reafferentation', including proprioception, mirror therapy and even cognitive behavioural approaches, and, on the other hand, surgical stabilization techniques and traditional physical therapy in order to minimize persistent micro-motion, which may help brain healing.

Stereoselective Synthesis of 2,3,5-Trisubstituted Tetrahydrofurans Initiated by a Titanium-BINOLate-Catalyzed Vinylogous Aldol Reaction.

The enantioselective synthesis of 2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans 3 has been achieved using a chiral titanium-BINOL complex as catalyst for the vinylogous Mukaiyama aldol reaction of bis(silyl) diendiolate 1 and an aldehyde. The ensuing BF·OEt-mediated Prins-type cyclization with a second aldehyde gave rise to 2,3,5-substituted tetrahydrofurans 3 with generally good yields and excellent stereocontrol. In this process, three new σ-bonds and three new stereogenic centers were generated in a one-pot process.

Non-compliance with IDSA guidelines for patients presenting with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus prosthetic joint infection is a risk factor for treatment failure.

Objective: The long-term impact of treatment strategies proposed by the IDSA guidelines for patients presenting with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is not well-known.

Patients And Methods: Retrospective (2000-2010) cohort study including patients presenting with MSSA hip or knee PJI.

Shoulder strengthening exercises adapted to specific shoulder pathologies can be selected using new simulation techniques: a pilot study.

Purpose: Shoulder strength training exercises represent a major component of rehabilitation protocols designed for conservative or postsurgical management of shoulder pathologies. Numerous methods are described for exercising each shoulder muscle or muscle group. Limited information is available to assess potential deleterious effects of individual methods with respect to specific shoulder pathologies.

Clinical and radiographic predictors of acute compartment syndrome in the treatment of tibial plateau fractures: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relation between demographic, injury-related, clinical and radiological factors of patients with tibial plateau fractures and the development of acute compartment syndrome.

Methods: All consecutive adult patients with intra-articular tibial plateau fractures admitted in our urban academic medical centre between January 2005 and December 2009 were included in this retrospective cohort study. The main outcome measurement was the development of acute compartment syndrome.

Variable compensation during the sit-to-stand task among individuals with severe knee osteoarthritis.

Background: Individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) show variability during the sit-to-stand (STS) task, so they may not perform the STS in the same way. This study aimed to determine whether individuals with knee OA have different strategies in performing the STS.

Methods: Participants with knee OA and able-bodied individuals underwent STS evaluation at a self-selected pace with use of a motion measurement system consisting of 12 cameras and 2 force plates.
