Background: Operating room (OR) efficiency is of paramount importance for scheduling, cost efficiency and to allow for the high operating volume required to address the growing demand for arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning predictive model for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (TSA) procedure duration and to identify factors which are predictive of a prolonged procedure.
Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken of all TSA between 2013-2021 in a large academic institution.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review to determine whether there were clinically significant differences in patient reported outcomes (PROMs) from 1- to 2-year follow-up following rotator cuff repair (RCR).
Methods: A literature search of three databases was performed based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) reporting on PROMS at 1- and 2-years follow-up following RCR were included.
Alterations in mitochondrial function are the linchpin in numerous disease states including in the development of chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain (CIPN), a major dose-limiting toxicity of widely used chemotherapeutic cytotoxins. In CIPN, mitochondrial dysfunction is characterized by deficits in mitochondrial bioenergetics (e.g.

Methods: We analysed 20 patients with antisynthetase antibodies and active ILD enrolled in the Abatacept in Myositis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease study. High-resolution chest CT was obtained at weeks 0, 24 and 48 and QIA scored the extent of ground glass (quantitative score for ground glass), fibrosis (quantitative score for lung fibrosis, QLF) and total ILD (quantitative ILD, QILD).
