Superior peroneal retinaculum reattachment for an atraumatic peroneus brevis tendon subluxation: a case report.

Background: Peroneal tendon subluxation is a rare pathology, generally associated with sport-induced trauma, that occurs due to the rupture of the superior peroneal retinaculum. The diagnosis is mainly clinical, but the use of imaging techniques, such as dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, may contribute to its clarification. Treatment may be conservative or surgical, although there is no consensus on the most appropriate technique to be employed.

THE NEW INJURIES' RISK AFTER ACL RECONSTRUCTION MIGHT BE REDUCED WITH FUNCTIONAL TRAINING.

Objective: The objective of our study was to evaluate if functional training with the Functional Movement Screen (FMS) can reduce the risk of a new injury for patients that underwent an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Our hypothesis was that the functional training might reduce the risk of a new injury.

Methods: Our training protocol consisted of six phases, each one lasting six weeks.

Capsulo-osseous Layer Retensioning and Distal Kaplan Fiber Surgical Reconstruction: A Proposed Anatomical Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis Approach.

Anterior cruciate ligament intra-articular reconstruction may require extra-articular reinforcement in certain situations. As knee lateral region anatomical and biomechanical knowledge has increased with new research, it has been reported that the iliotibial band is important in the anterolateral stabilization of the knee. Possible indications for a "more anatomical" extra-articular tenodesis focusing on capsulo-osseous layer tensioning and distal Kaplan fibers reconstruction are reported, surgical approach details are described, and scientific data that gives support for this procedure are discussed.

Correlation bettween Individual Anthropometric Characteristics and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tibial Fovea Measurements.

 To evaluate possible connections between the weight and height of patients submitted to total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with the length, width and area of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) fovea, as verified during surgery.  A total of 33 proximal tibial joint surfaces, obtained from TKA tibial sections of 33 patients, were used in the present study. The ACL was resected with a delicate scalpel to expose the ACL tibial fovea.

Impact of Myocardial Revascularization Method on Smoking Cessation: Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting versus Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.

Introduction: Smoking is a serious public health issue, being a precursor of heart disease and a predictor of sudden death due to myocardial ischemia. Major events in the patient's health can lead to radical changes in habits and the choice for different myocardial revascularization methods might differently impact smoking cessation and relapse.

Objective: To study the rate and perpetuation of smoking cessation after myocardial revascularization comparing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

[The influence of Cytoflavin therapy on the cerebral hemodynamics in patients with various stages of hypertensive disease].

Aim: To study an influence of cytoflavin therapy on the cerebral hemodynamics in patients with various stages of hypertensive disease (HD).

Material And Methods: One hundred and forty patients with HD, I-III stages, were randomized into 2 groups: patients of group 1 received complex treatment (antihypertensive therapy and cytoflavin), patients of group 2 were treated with antihypertensive therapy. The control group consisted of 30 healthy people.

Similarity between blood pressure values assessed by auscultatory method with mercury sphygmomanometer and automated oscillometric digital device.

Introduction: One of the biggest challenges in the management of hypertension is adequate blood pressure (BP) control. To achieve this goal, home blood pressure measurement (HBPM) with automated devices has been encouraged. However, part of the medical community still disputes its validity, believing that HBPM may lead to incorrect readings.

[Intestinal obstruction caused by inflammatory fibroid polyp. Report of a case].

The inflammatory fibroid polyps are rare lesions of the digestive tract, they were firstly described occurring in the stomach, however their distribution is universal. Several other denominations have been used to same lesion such as fibroma and eosinophilic granuloma. The clinical presentation varies according to the its location, frequently they are mistaken as gastrointestinal neoplasias.
