Article Synopsis
- Surgical management of SLAP tears involves either arthroscopic SLAP repair or biceps tenodesis, but the best approach remains debated due to varying complications.
- A study evaluated data from over 31,000 patients who underwent these surgeries, focusing on post-operative complications like revisions and shoulder issues within a year of the procedure.
- Results indicated that arthroscopic SLAP repair led to higher revision rates (1.8 times more likely) and a greater incidence of rotator cuff strains compared to biceps tenodesis techniques.
Objective: As the number of female medical students and surgical residents increases, the increasing number of female academic surgeons has been disproportionate. The purpose of this brief report is to evaluate the AAMC data from 1969 to 2018 to compare the level of female academic faculty representation for surgical specialties over the past four decades.
Design: The number of women as a percentage of the total surgeons per year were recorded for each year from 1969-2018, the most recent year available.
Gene therapy approaches have been difficult to implement due to pre-existing immunity against the virus used for delivery. To circumvent this problem, a cell-based approach was developed that avoided the use of free virus within the animal. However, even cells transduced in vitro with E1- to E3-deleted adenovirus encoding bone morphogenetic protein 2 (AdBMP2) resulted in the production of virus-neutralizing antibodies in mice.
