Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to determine how different durations of intraoperative radiofrequency ablation affect the health and characteristics of bursal cells collected during rotator cuff surgery in patients.
- Six healthy patients participated, and bursal tissue was subjected to varying levels of ablation to assess cell viability, growth potential, and phenotypes.
- Findings showed that longer ablation times led to reduced viability of the cells, but the overall characteristics of the cells remained consistent across different treatment groups, indicating that while ablation affects cell survival, it does not significantly alter cell properties.
According to the Fear-avoidance (FA) model, FA beliefs can lead to disability due to avoidance of activities expected to result in pain or further injury. Extensive research on the relationship of FA, pain, catastrophizing, and disability has been generated with patients suffering from chronic neck and back pain, but little research has been conducted with burn survivors. To address this need, the Burn Survivor FA Questionnaire (BSFAQ) was developed (Langlois J, Vincent-Toskin, S, Duchesne, P et al.
