The impact of intravenous corticosteroids with third molar surgery in patients at high risk for delayed health-related quality of life and clinical recovery.
J Oral Maxillofac Surg
January 2005
Department of Surgery and Hospital Dentistry, School of Dentistry, University of Lousville, Lousville, KY, USA.
Purpose: To compare recovery for clinical and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes after third molar surgery in patients predicted to be at risk for delayed recovery, treated with or without intravenous (IV) corticosteroids at surgery.
Patients And Methods: Patients at least 18 years of age and with all 4 third molars below the occlusal plane were given IV corticosteroids just before third molar surgery. Clinical and HRQOL outcomes of these patients were compared with those of a nonconcurrent control group who did not receive corticosteroids.
Hybrid external fixation of the proximal tibia: strategies to improve frame stability.
J Orthop Trauma
July 2003
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Lousville, Lousville, Kentucky 40202, USA.
Objective: To determine the specific frame construction strategies that can increase the stability of hybrid (ring with tensioned wires proximally connected by bars to half-pins distally) external fixation of proximal tibia fractures. DESIGN Repeated measures biomechanical testing.
Setting: Laboratory.
Corneal endothelial wound repair in normal and mitotically inhibited cultures.
Graefes Arch Clin Exp Ophthalmol
November 1995
Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences, Kentucky Lions Eye Research Institute, University of Lousville School of Medicine 40292, USA.
Background: The aim of the present study was to compare the morphology, proliferative activity and cytoskeletal organization of bovine corneal endothelial cells during wound healing under normal and mitotically inhibited conditions.
Methods: Cell cultures were grown to confluency and incubated with the mitotic inhibitor 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 2.5 micrograms/ml) followed by a touch wound.
New conduits for coronary artery bypass: great promise for improved outcome from coronary artery surgery.
J Ky Med Assoc
February 1994
Department of Surgery, University of Lousville School of Medicine, KY.
The internal mammary artery is the conduit of choice for coronary artery bypass, with patency at about 95%, 10 years after implantation. Patients who receive this graft survive longer and have fewer cardiac complications than those who receive only saphenous vein bypass grafts. Surgeons are currently studying other arteries that may be used as bypass conduits.
