Remplissage in Addition to Arthroscopic Bankart Repair for Shoulder Instability With On-Track Hill-Sachs Lesions Reduces Residual Apprehension Without External Rotation Limitation.

Purpose: To evaluate the role of remplissage as an adjunct to Bankart repair in patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation combined with on-track Hill-Sachs lesion.

Methods: Arthroscopic Bankart repair with remplissage data (December 2018-2020) were collected (BR group). Inclusion criteria were (1) recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation, (2) on-track Hill-Sachs lesion, (3) minimal/subcritical glenoid bone loss (<17%), and (4) postoperative follow-up >1 year.

Comparison of Radiological and Clinical Outcomes in Patients Treated with Standard Plating versus Intramedullary Nailing in Distal Tibial Fracture.

Objective: To evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes including hindfoot alignment after plate vs intramedullary nailing (IMN) for distal tibia fracture and to define radiologic parameters that influence changes in hindfoot alignment.

Methods: Among 92 patients with distal tibia metaphyseal fractures treated from 2002 to 2015, 39 cases of intramedullary nailing and 53 cases of standard plate osteosynthesis were performed. Union rate and complication rate were compared in both groups.

Outcomes Following Open Reduction and Internal Fixation in Proximal Phalangeal Fracture with Rotational Malalignment.

The rotational malalignment in proximal phalanx fracture is unacceptable. Authors attempted to describe clinical and radiographic outcomes as well as complications after open reduction and internal fixation with screw only or plate for phalangeal fractures accompanied by rotational malalignment. Authors conducted a retrospective review of 46 patients who had been treated between Jan.

Extensor pollicis longus tendon rupture caused by a displaced dorsal "beak" fragment of Lister's tubercle in distal radius fractures.

Introduction: Ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon are a well-known complication of distal radius fractures (DRF). There are a lot of suspected mechanisms, including mechanical friction, vascular impairment, injury associated with reduction, and local adhesion. However, there have been limited reports about a closed rupture of the EPL tendon associated with a relatively large, displaced dorsal "beak" fracture fragment.

Clinical Utility of Biochemical Marker of Bone Turnover: Fracture Risk Prediction and Bone Healing.

Bone turnover markers (BTMs) are released during bone remodeling and are thought to reflect the metabolic activity of bone at the cellular level. This review examines BTM as a biological response marker for monitoring future fracture prediction and fracture healing processes. Substantial evidence has been of high value to investigate the use of BTM in fracture risk prediction; nevertheless, the conclusions of some studies are inconsistent due to their large variability.

Randomized comparison of 3 different-sized biopsy forceps for quality of sampling in Barrett's esophagus.

Background: Several types of forceps are available for use in sampling Barrett's esophagus (BE). Few data exist with regard to biopsy quality for histologic assessment.

Objective: To evaluate sampling quality of 3 different forceps in patients with BE.

Steatohepatitic hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC): a distinctive histological variant of HCC in hepatitis C virus-related cirrhosis with associated NAFLD/NASH.

In explant livers with chronic hepatitis C (HCV-C) we have noted a distinctive histologic variant that we have termed steatohepatitic hepatocellular carcinoma (SH-HCC) with features resembling non-neoplastic steatohepatitis, including large droplet steatosis, ballooning of malignant hepatocytes, Mallory-Denk bodies, inflammation, and pericellular fibrosis. This study was undertaken to further describe the characteristics and prevalence of this histologic variant in HCV-C and any possible association with underlying risk factors for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). We selected two 2-year periods (mid-2003 to mid-2005 and 2007 to 2008), from which selected explant livers with HCV-C and HCC were examined to determine the characteristics and frequency of SH-HCC.

Pax8: a marker for carcinoma of Müllerian origin in serous effusions.

PAX8 is a nuclear transcription factor with limited expression in normal and neoplastic tissues in a cell lineage-dependent manner. PAX8 has been detected in embryonic Müllerian ducts, human fallopian tubes, and ovarian carcinomas. However, little is known about its expression in other areas of the female genital tract.

Expression of PAX8 in normal and neoplastic renal tissues: an immunohistochemical study.

Cell-lineage-specific transcription factors are a group of regulatory proteins expressed in embryonic, differentiated, or neoplastic cells of the same lineage and represent a valuable repertoire of tissue-specific markers for the diagnosis of human tumors. Together with PAX2, PAX8 is a nephric-lineage transcription factor and is required for the establishment of renal-lineage cells and the formation of the kidney. In contrast to PAX2, little is known about the expression of PAX8 in adult kidney and renal tumors.

Radiologic monitoring of hepatocellular carcinoma tumor viability after transhepatic arterial chemoembolization: estimating the accuracy of contrast-enhanced cross-sectional imaging with histopathologic correlation.

Purpose: Cross-sectional diagnostic imaging studies such as contrast-enhanced quadruple-phase helical computed tomography (CT) and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging are routinely performed to evaluate tumor response to transhepatic arterial chemoembolization. However, the true correlation between imaging characteristics and histopathologic tumor viability is not known. The aim of the present retrospective study was to determine the sensitivity and specificity of contrast-enhanced CT and contrast-enhanced MR imaging with use of histopathologic analysis.
