Background: Surgical videos are increasingly common, although their role in residency curricula remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of an educational surgical video on resident performance of an open carpal tunnel release through an Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills and serial questionnaires. Methods: Twenty-two residents representing six postgraduate years were randomized to receive text-based materials with or without a surgical video before...

Background: This study compared the effectiveness of injectable collagenase clostridium histolyticum and percutaneous needle fasciotomy in the treatment of Dupuytren’s contracture. Methods: Patients with a total passive extension deficit of 30 degrees or more in a single digital ray were enrolled and assigned randomly to receive either collagenase clostridium histolyticum injections or percutaneous needle fasciotomy. Preoperative severity of proximal interphalangeal joint contracture for...

Background: Optimal treatment for distal radius fractures in older adults remains uncertain. No randomized trials comparing the most frequently used treatments in this population have been conducted. Surgical treatment rates vary widely, and the sustained benefits of surgery are uncertain. Methods: The Wrist and Radius Injury Surgical Trial, a randomized, multicenter trial, enrolled 304 adults aged 60 years and older with isolated, unstable distal radius fractures at 24 institutions. Patients...

Background: Repair of unilateral incomplete cleft lip is the surgeon’s opportunity to achieve a superior result with few revisions. Methods: This study is a retrospective review of consecutive patients with unilateral incomplete cleft lip, defined as a defect extending 30 to 90 percent of cutaneous labial height, treated between 1985 and 2013 by one surgeon. Rates and types of revisions were collected, and photographs of patients who did not have a revision were reviewed to determine whether...

Background: Large decompressive craniectomies may be life-saving; however, they may also result in syndrome of the trephined. This postrecovery sequela is characterized by dizziness, fatigue, depression, weakness, speech slowing, gait disturbance, and impaired mentation. Because this entity is poorly understood, the authors attempted to quantify the functional improvement in patients with syndrome of the trephined after cranial vault reconstruction. Methods: Patients with cranial vault defects...

Background: Midface hypoplasia dramatically affects the normative facial cascade. Simultaneous Le Fort III and Le Fort I procedures (Le Fort III/I) provide a powerful tool for achieving significant midface advancement. This study presents the authors’ approach for addressing midface hypoplasia in the setting of class III malocclusion using Le Fort III/I advancement. Methods: This was an institutional review board–approved retrospective review of patients who underwent Le Fort III/I advancement...

Background: No data exist on the prospective outcomes of facial feminization surgery. This study set out to determine the effects of facial feminization surgery on quality-of-life outcomes for gender-diverse patients. Methods: A prospective, international, multicenter, cohort study with adult gender-diverse patients with gender dysphoria was undertaken. Facial feminization outcome score was calculated preoperatively and postoperatively (1-week to 1-month and >6 months). Photogrammetric...

Summary: The authors describe the technique of robotic vaginectomy, anterior vaginal flap urethroplasty, and use of a longitudinally split pedicled gracilis muscle flap to recreate the bulbar urethra and help fill the vaginal defect in female-to-male gender-affirming phalloplasty. Vaginectomy is performed by means of the robotically assisted laparoscopic transabdominal approach. Concurrently, gracilis muscle is harvested and passed through a tunnel between the groin and the vaginal cavity. It...

Background: Technical advances have been made in reconstructive diabetic limb salvage modalities. It is unknown whether these techniques are widely used. This study seeks to determine the role of patient- and hospital-level characteristics that affect use. Methods: Admissions for diabetic lower extremity complications were identified in the 2012 to 2014 National Inpatient Sample using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification diagnosis codes. The study...

Abstract The evolutionary “success” of the genus Brucella depends on the ability to persist both in the environment as well as inside of even activated macrophages of the animal host. For that, the Brucellae produce catalase and superoxide dismutase to defend against oxidative stress. Since the deletion of the mglA gene in the B. abortus S19 vaccine strain resulted not only in an increased tolerance to H2O2 but also in the induction of cytokines in macrophages, we here investigated...

Abstract Colorectal cancer is the third most common malignancy all over the world, along with high morbidity and mortality. As a treatment, high-fluence low-power laser irradiation (HF-LPLI) has reported that its biostimulatory activity can suppress or even destruct tumor growth in neoplastic diseases. The aim of the present study is to examine a therapeutic capacity of HF-LPLI for colorectal cancer treatment by using human colon cancer cell (HT29) model. The in vitro cancer cell...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2020. A man undergoing long-term peritoneal dialysis who had no history of mental illness suffered psychosis and auditory hallucination 2 days after clindamycin was initiated at a single dose of 0.6 g per day for pulmonary infection. His mental symptoms disappeared after clindamycin was discontinued and peritoneal dialysis was strengthened. The patient’s body temperature was mildly elevated the day before he was admitted to the hospital,...

Journal of International Medical Research, Volume 48, Issue 5, May 2020. ObjectiveClinical diagnostics often requires the detection of multiple bacterial species in limited clinical samples with a single DNA extraction method. This study aimed to compare the bacterial DNA extraction efficiency of two lysis methods automated with the MagNA-Pure LC instrument. The samples included five oral bacterial species (three Gram-positive and two Gram-negative) with or without human saliva background.MethodsGenomic...

ObjectivesThis study analyzed the effects of rosuvastatin and zoledronic acid in combination on patient recovery following percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) that was performed to treat senile osteoporotic vertebral compression.MethodsSenile patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (n = 120) were included in this retrospective study, and they were classified into two groups. Those in the control group (n = 60)...
