Investigation into the presence of human papillomavirus in patients with obstructive sleep apnea.

Laryngoscope

May 2017

Department of Otolaryngology/Head and Neck Surgery, Henry Ford Health System, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.

Objectives/hypothesis: The human papillomavirus (HPV) is known to infect the tissues of the oropharynx as demonstrated in HPV-positive oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). HPV has also been shown to induce benign lymphoid hypertrophy. We sought to investigate an association between obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and the presence of HPV in palatine and lingual tonsillar oropharyngeal tissue.

Symptomatic lymphoepithelial cyst of the pancreas: successful treatment without pancreatic resection.

J Surg Case Rep

May 2016

Department of General Surgery, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, 15855 19 Mile Rd. Clinton Township, MI 48038, USA.

Lymphoepithelial cysts (LECs) of the pancreas are rare benign lesions with unknown pathogenesis. LECs are true cysts that mimic pseudocysts and cystic neoplasms making diagnosis challenging. We report a case of a symptomatic LEC of the pancreas in a 67-year-old man who had severe epigastric pain.

Foreign body (FB) ingestion is a relatively common reason for visits to the emergency room. If the FB is symptomatic or damaging to the patient, either endoscopic or surgical intervention should ensue. We present a case of abdominal pain and hematuria beginning ∼24 h after an incidental FB ingestion.

Introduction: We determined the efficacy, safety and tolerability of photovaporization of the prostate in the office setting for benign prostatic hyperplasia.

Methods: Between 2009 and 2011, 139 men with moderate to severe benign prostatic hyperplasia based on I-PSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) underwent photovaporization of the prostate using a 980 nm diode laser under local anesthesia. We compared preoperative and postoperative post-void residual urine volume, maximum urine flow and I-PSS/quality of life questionnaire responses.

Surgical Resection of Bilateral Coalition of the Third and Fourth Metatarsals: A Case Report.

J Foot Ankle Surg

August 2017

Private Practice, Foot and Ankle Associates of Michigan, Shelby Township, MI. Electronic address:

An intermetatarsal coalition is an uncommon pathologic entity, previously reported in published studies as being primarily unilateral, most commonly between the first and second metatarsals and less so between the third and fourth metatarsals. We report an unusual case of a bilateral coalition of the third and fourth metatarsals in a 43-year-old male who presented with nonspecific dorsolateral foot pain. Conservative therapy initially failed, and resolution of pain was noted bilaterally after coalition resection.

We encountered a rare case of gastroschisis associated with jejunal atresia and colonic atresia. In our case, the jejunal atresia was not discovered for 27 days after the initial abdominal wall closure. The colonic atresia was not discovered for 48 days after initial repair of the gastroschisis secondary to the rarity of the disorder.

We encountered a case of gallbladder volvulus in an 88-year-old thin female in which the initial presentation was more consistent with that of acute appendicitis. After complete work-up, including physical exam, lab work, and computed tomography, the definite diagnosis of gallbladder volvulus was not made until intraoperative visualization was obtained. Gallbladder volvulus is a rare but serious condition, which requires a high clinical suspicion so prompt surgical intervention can be undertaken.

Objective: Many surgeons favor routine shunting during carotid endarterectomy (CEA) in patients with recent stroke who otherwise prefer selective shunt placement for other indications of CEA. We analyzed the results of CEA in this group of patients with the strategy of selective shunting.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of 59 patients (group A) undergoing CEA ≤8 weeks of a stroke (2000-2014) from two midsized teaching hospitals with stroke certification; of these, 38 patients had CEA ≤2 weeks and 21 other had CEA >2 weeks but <8 weeks.

Calcaneal osteomyelitis is one of the most devastating complications encountered with the surgical treatment of calcaneal fractures. Previous treatments have focused on infection ablation, followed by either bracing or amputation. Few reports have focused on a staged procedure and ultimate functional reconstruction of the calcaneus.

Paraplegia after endovascular therapy for aortic and visceral artery occlusive disease is an extremely uncommon occurrence. Two cases of paraplegia after placement of an aortic covered stent for infrarenal aortic stenosis and a superior mesenteric artery stent for chronic visceral ischemia are presented. In both patients, embolization of the arterial supply to the spinal cord was the presumed cause.

Background: It has been estimated that up to one third of all emergency department (ED) visits may be "inappropriate" or non-emergent. Factors that have been speculated to be associated with non-emergent use have been noted to include low socioeconomic status, lack of access to primary care, lack of insurance, convenience of "on demand care" and the patient's individual perception of their complaint urgency. The objective of this study is to identify the reasons contributing to self-perceived non-emergent adult emergency department visits during primary care physician office hours of operation.

Ileovesicostomy: update.

April 2011

Department of Urology, Henry Ford Macomb Hospital, Warren, MI, USA.

Currently, we have different technical options for treating clinically complex scenarios such as neurogenic bladder, difficult to manage lower urinary tract obstruction and many disasters sometimes seen after prostate cancer treatment. During the seventies, clean intermittent bladder catheterization was established as the best treatment option for these patients. As a method, suprapubic urinary diversion has undergone a major evolution over the past fifty years trying to solve the most refractory and poor prognosis cases.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine if a correlation exists between magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of bone marrow edema (BME) in osteoarthrosis (OA) of the knee joint and need for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within a follow-up period of 3 years.

Materials And Methods: The entire database of knee MR studies over a 3-year period was used to select individuals with knee OA. A chart review was conducted to identify and include only those who had a 3-year follow-up appointment from the time of the initial MR study.
