Twenty-six patients with mean age of 38.5 (range 18-59), from 1998 to 2005, with ulnar impaction syndrome who failed nonoperative treatments were included in our study. Patients' age, history of previous wrist fracture, presence of MRI signs and ulnar variance were recorded as variables. Also, patients' postoperative strength (compared to the contralateral wrist) and pain relief were collected as outcome measurements. Twenty-two patients (84.6%) had either good or excellent pain relief (median 4, range 1-4). Significant correlation was found between MRI findings and postop pain relief (r = 0.53, p < or = 0.01). History of previous distal radius fractures was negatively correlated with pain relief (r = -0.50, p < or = 0.01). No correlation was found between postop strength and any of the variables. Presence of MRI signs of UIS is a predictor of good outcome in arthroscopic wafer resection.

Foot tissue stress in chronic ankle instability during the stance phase of cutting.
Med Biol Eng Comput

Auckland Bioengineering Institute, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Lower limb biomechanics of chronic ankle instability (CAI) individuals has been widely investigated, but few have evaluated the internal foot mechanics in CAI. This study evaluated bone and soft tissue stress in CAI contrasted with copers and non-injured participants during a cutting task. Integrating scanned 3D foot shapes and free-form deformation, sixty-six personalized finite element foot models were developed.

Background: De Quervain's tenosynovitis (QT) is common among individuals performing repetitive manual tasks and significantly affects daily activities due to pain. While traditional treatments often provide limited relief, high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) shows as a potential analgesic resource.
Purpose: This systematic review aimed to evaluate the analgesic effects of HILT in patients with QT.
Long-Term Effectiveness of Dupilumab in Severe Uncontrolled Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A Multicenter Retrospective Study.
Am J Rhinol Allergy
January 2025
Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery Department, IRCCS Arcispedale Santamaria Nuova, Reggio Emilia, Italy.
Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a complex immunological disease associated with significant morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life. Dupilumab is an anti-T2-inflammatory biological drug registered for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, indicated by integrated care pathways when optimal medico-surgical treatment yields insufficient control of sinonasal symptoms.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm the long-term efficacy of dupilumab in the treatment of severe uncontrolled CRSwNP.

Purpose: This study aimed to explore symptom clusters and the inter-relationship of symptoms in esophageal cancer (EC) patients during the first week after surgery.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey across multiple centers was carried out using the EORTCQLQ-OES18. Patients with esophageal cancer within a week post-surgery were recruited from the "Be Resilient to Cancer" project in Guangdong, Hunan, and Sichuan provinces between January and September 2024.

Introduction: The use of corticosteroid injections for short-term pain relief for knee osteoarthritis can have deleterious adverse effects. Amniotic tissue has shown promise in vitro; therefore, this study compared a morcellized injectable amniotic tissue allograft to corticosteroid injection.
Methods: Eighty-one patients with symptomatic severe knee osteoarthritis (Kellgren-Lawrence grade 3 to 4) were prospectively randomized to either a double-blinded single injection of BioDRestore (Integra LifeSciences; n = 39) or triamcinolone acetonide (n = 42).
