Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the safety and effectiveness of office-based carpal tunnel release with ultrasound guidance (CTR-US).
Methods: In this prospective multicenter observational study, patients were treated with CTR-US in an office setting. Outcomes were time to resume normal daily activities, time to return to work, Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire Symptom Severity Scale and Functional Status Scale scores, Michigan Hand Questionnaire, Numeric Pain Scale, EuroQoL-5 Dimension 5-Level score, procedure satisfaction, and adverse events over 6 months.

Multi-site Institutional Review Board (IRB) review of clinical research projects is an important but complex and time-consuming activity that is hampered by disparate non-interoperable computer systems for management of IRB applications. This paper describes our work toward harmonizing the workflow and data model of IRB applications through the development of a software-as-a-service shared-IRB platform for five institutions in South Carolina. Several commonalities and differences were recognized across institutions and a core data model that included the data elements necessary for IRB applications across all institutions was identified.

In order to monitor phosphoinositide turnover during phospholipase C (PLC)-mediated Drosophila phototransduction, fluorescently tagged lipid probes were expressed in photoreceptors and imaged both in dissociated cells, and in eyes of intact living flies. Of six probes tested, Tb(R332H) (a mutant of the Tubby protein pleckstrin homology domain) was judged the best reporter for phosphatidylinositol (4,5)-bisphosphate [PtdIns(4,5)P2], and the P4M domain from Legionella SidM for phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PtdIns4P). Using accurately calibrated illumination, we found that only ∼50% of PtdIns(4,5)P2 and very little PtdIns4P were depleted by full daylight intensities in wild-type flies, but both were severely depleted by ∼100-fold dimmer intensities in mutants lacking Ca(2+)-permeable transient receptor potential (TRP) channels or protein kinase C (PKC).

Informed consents are a critical and essential component of the clinical research process. Currently, most consents and research privacy authorizations are being captured on paper. In this paper we describe a novel method of capturing this information electronically.

Such research permissions and consents typically are collected on paper upon patient registration. We describe a novel method of capturing this information electronically.
