PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review of the literature to compare outcomes of revision anterior stabilization surgeries based on technique. This study also sought to compare the impact of bone defects on outcomes. METHODS: A systematic review of the electronic databases PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and Scopus was performed in July 2012 and March 2013. Of 345 articles identified in the search, 17 studies with Level I to IV Evidence satisfied the inclusion criteria and were analyzed according to PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Recurrent instability was defined as redislocation, resubluxation, or a positive apprehensive test after revision surgery. Procedures were categorized as arthroscopic Bankart repair, open Bankart repair, Bristow-Latarjet procedure, and other open procedures. RESULTS: In total, 388 shoulders were studied. Male patients comprised 74.1% of patients, 66.7% of cases involved the dominant shoulder, the mean age was 28.2 years, and the mean follow-up period was 44.2 months. The surgical procedures classified as "other open procedures" had the highest rate of recurrent instability (42.7%), followed by arthroscopic Bankart repair (14.7%), the Bristow-Latarjet procedure (14.3%), and open Bankart repair (5.5%). Inconsistent reporting of bone defects precluded drawing significant conclusions. CONCLUSIONS: A number of different procedures are used to address recurrent instability after a primary operation for anterior shoulder instability has failed. There is significant variability in the rate of recurrent instability after revision anterior shoulder stabilization surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level IV, systematic review of Level I to IV studies.

Neo and IA pottery was found but the multiple ramparts were all of Dark Age date. Ramparts 1 and 3 were timber-laced and had been burnt; radiocarbon dates suggest construction in the 6th/7th century AD. Rampart 2, on a different line, incorporated mortared Roman stones. Finds include a metal disc in hanging-bowl style and a group of clay moulds for penannular brooches of 8th century type. Au (abr)

In sheep, inflammation not only functions in cervical dilation at parturition, but also plays an important part in the non-pregnant ewe cervix, as demonstrated by the high level of expression of interleukin (IL)-8 at oestrus. Ewes artificially induced to ovulate have significantly lower levels of IL-8 gene expression at oestrus compared with natural oestrus, indicating an inhibition of inflammation and function, offering an explanation for the low rates of conception in vaginally inseminated synchronised ewes. To identify potential pro-inflammatory agents to combat the anti-inflammatory effects of hormonal synchronisation of oestrus, we have investigated the role of proteinase-activated receptor (PAR)-1 and PAR-2. To localise and measure the level of expression of these receptors, ovine-specific probes were derived for PAR-1 and PAR-2 and used for quantitative in situ hybridisation in the ovine cervix. Both PAR-1 and PAR-2 were expressed in the luminal epithelium of the cervix throughout the oestrous cycle, with expression being highest at oestrus. The gene expression of PAR-2 at oestrus was approximately 30% higher than that of PAR-1. Artificial synchronisation of oestrus by either an intravaginal progesterone sponge or prostaglandin F2+/- injections did not inhibit PAR-1 or PAR-2 expression at oestrus; rather, in the case of PAR-2, progesterone synchronisation increased it. Both synchronising procedures increased the expression of PAR-1 and PAR-2 during the luteal phase of the cycle. Therefore, agonists of PAR-1 and PAR-2 may be potentially useful pro-inflammatory agents countering the inhibition of inflammation by hormonal synchronisation.

The development of angioplasty and stenting, along with the improvement of surgical procedures, have given physicians more options for treating claudication. However, most patients with intermittent claudication do not need a revascularization procedure, or even angiography. They do need an assessment of their coronary and carotid arteries. We present a treatment approach based on risk factor modification, symptom severity, and the risks and benefits of various procedures.

Phyl Tappin is passionate about her work as an outreach worker for dementia sufferers. Her knowledge of and insight into the illness is evident, as is her commitment to breaking down the barriers surrounding it: from changing attitudes to providing practical help for sufferers and carers. Having trained as a nurse to becoming a health visitor, then witnessing her mother develop dementia, Phyl takes us on her journey of discovery, and explains why no barrier is too big.

DR. John Parsons was just another practitioner of medicine in pre-Civil War days in Illinois. For the first half century of his life, he was little known outside his own community. He was born in Indiana in 1806. The Parsons family was a large and important group in the State, with many prominent educators among them. Since formal medical education was lacking in early Indiana, John Parsons obtained his medical training under the preceptorship system. It is known that he practiced medicine in Quincy, Illinois, for over a decade before 1859. Owing to poor health, he was forced to give . . .

-promoted dehydroxypropylative selenylation of tertiary acyclic alcohols with diselenides has been developed for constructing unsymmetrical monoselenides. This protocol enables direct C-C bond cleavage and concomitant C-Se bond formation without the need for an additional photocatalyst. The reaction exhibits a broad substrate scope across various diselenides and alcohols and is amenable to gram-scale synthesis. Mechanistic studies support a radical pathway initiated through ligand-to-metal charge transfer (LMCT) upon light irradiation.

MANY physicians have been prominent in the field of numismatics, better known as the collecting and study of coins, or of money in general. A little known fact is that some physicians have been prominent for the coins they legally minted. Private coinage of gold coins acceptable as legal tender was common in the early United States, especially during the early gold-rush days in the West. John S. Ormsby, M.D., was one of the first to mint gold coins in the pioneer West. Today, his coins are eagerly sought by the numismatic fraternity.An act of Congress, dated April 2, . . .

AIMS: We sought to investigate the prevalence of Transthyretin amyloid (ATTR) deposits in the carpal ligament of patients undergoing surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and the frequency of concomitant ATTR-cardiomyopathy (CM) in a prospective study with long-term follow-up. METHODS AND RESULTS: < .01). CONCLUSION: Histopathological evaluation of resected carpal ligament should be considered in patients at least older than 70 years. Even though absolute numbers were low, cardiac screening of patients with evidence of amyloid deposits in in carpal tunnel tissues might facilitate early diagnosis of ATTR-CM in some patients.
