A Rare Cause of Pedunculated Polyps Caused by .

Introduction: Strongyloidiasis is a systemic disease caused by the nematode . is unique among parasites in that it can remain undetected for decades. Although patients may present with the typical symptoms of a skin rash, cough or diarrhoea, a rare manifestation of infection is pseudopolyposis in the colon.

The Syringe External Fixator: Short- and Medium-Term Functional Outcomes From This Inexpensive and Customizable Treatment for Comminuted Intra-Articular Fractures of the Hand.

Purpose: Comminuted intra-articular fractures and fracture dislocations of the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and interphalangeal joints are challenging. Dynamic external fixation, permitting early joint motion while still minimizing forces across the healing joint, can result in acceptable postoperative active range of motion (AROM). However, some fractures are not initially stable enough for early dynamic motion; further, many available dynamic external fixation systems are costly and cumbersome.

Patient Satisfaction After Discharge Is Discordant With Reported Inpatient Experience.

Patient satisfaction measures are commonly used to evaluate clinical performance. However, research on the correlation between patient satisfaction scores and actual patient experience is limited. This study aimed to determine the concordance between patient satisfaction reported as an inpatient and patient satisfaction reported after discharge.

Syringe External Fixator: An Inexpensive Static-to-Dynamic Treatment for Comminuted Intra-Articular Phalangeal Fractures.

Comminuted intra-articular phalanx fractures are complicated injuries often treated with external fixation. The ideal external fixation system should be affordable, readily available, adaptable, and easy to use. The use of dynamic external fixation has advanced the care of these injuries but can be difficult to implement.

The Utility of In-Hospital Postoperative Radiographs Following Surgical Treatment of Traumatic Thoracolumbar Injuries.

Study Design: A retrospective cohort study.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the utility of routine in-hospital postoperative radiographs for identifying hardware failure following surgical treatment of traumatic thoracolumbar (TL) injuries.

Background: Postoperative radiographs following spine surgery are considered standard of care despite a lack of evidence supporting their utility.
