Limitations Of The Knee Society Score In Evaluating Outcomes Following Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty., Elie Ghanem, Ian Pawasarat, Adam Lindsay, Lauren May, Khalid Azzam, Ashish Joshi, Javad Parvizi

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the results of revision total knee arthroplasty have been determined with use of surgeon-based measures such as the Knee Society rating system. Recently, outcome and quality-of-life measures have shifted toward a greater emphasis on patient-based evaluation. The aim of our study was to determine the validity and responsiveness of the Knee Society rating system compared with the Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and a four-question 4-point Likert scale satisfaction questionnaire following revision total knee arthroplasty.

METHODS: A total of 152 patients underwent revision total knee arthroplasty at our institution, between …

Differential Regulation Of P53 Function By The N-Terminal Δnp53 And Δ113p53 Isoforms In Zebrafish Embryos., William R Davidson, Csaba Kari, Qing Ren, Borbala Daroczi, Adam P Dicker, Ulrich Rodeck

Department of Radiation Oncology Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: The p53 protein family coordinates stress responses of cells and organisms. Alternative promoter usage and/or splicing of p53 mRNA gives rise to at least nine mammalian p53 proteins with distinct N- and C-termini which are differentially expressed in normal and malignant cells. The human N-terminal p53 variants contain either the full-length (FL), or a truncated (ΔN/Δ40) or no transactivation domain (Δ133) altogether. The functional consequences of coexpression of the different p53 isoforms are poorly defined. Here we investigated functional aspects of the zebrafish ΔNp53 ortholog in the context of FLp53 and the zebrafish Δ133p53 ortholog (Δ113p53) coexpressed in the …

A Clincial Outcomes Commentary On "A Longitudinal Study Of Outcome Measures For Children Receiving Early Intervention Services", Marcia Levinson, Pt, Phd, Mft, Rosaleen Creedon Gnoffo, Pt, Ms, Dpt, Pcs

Department of Physical Therapy Faculty Papers

Pediatric physical therapy, especially in early intervention (EI), focuses on children’s function in natural environments and within daily routines. Valid and reliable tests measuring the ICF participation component are important to consider if we are to align our treatment focus and goals to our measures of progress. This article demonstrates that the Pediatric Evaluation of Disability Inventory (PEDI) Functional Skill scaled scores are sensitive to change in children receiving EI with and without motor involvement.

End-Of-Life Care For Hospitalized Patients With Lung Cancer: Utilization Of A Palliative Care Service., Barbara Reville, M.S., Achpn, Marshal N Miller, B.S., Richard W Toner, M.S., Joanne Reifsnyder, Ph.D., Achpn

Department of Family & Community Medicine Faculty Papers

PURPOSE: High symptom burden and hospital mortality among patients with lung cancer argues for early palliative care intervention. Patient characteristics and discharge dispositions in hospitalized patients with lung cancer receiving usual care were compared to those referred to a new palliative care service.

METHODS: A retrospective database review of all lung cancer discharges receiving usual care (UC) and palliative care service (PCS) consultation was conducted. Demographics, length of stay, discharge disposition, and mortality were described and compared. Palliative Performance Scale scores were described according to discharge disposition in the PCS group. Disposition of all patients receiving either chemotherapy or surgery …

Leg Ulcers In Sickle Cell Disease., Caterina P Minniti, James Eckman, Paola Sebastiani, Martin H Steinberg, Samir K. Ballas

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Sickle cell disease is a single amino acid molecular disorder of hemoglobin leading to its pathological polymerization, red cell rigidity that causes poor microvascular blood flow, with consequent tissue ischemia and infarction. The manifestations of this disease are protean.Among them, leg ulcers represent a particularly disabling and chronic complication, often associated with a more severe clinical course.Despite the fact that this complication has been recognized since the early times of SCD, there has been little improvement in the efficacy of its management and clinical outcome over the past 100 years. Recently, vasculopathic abnormalities involving abnormal vascular tone and activated, adhesive …

High Inspired Co2 Capnograph Reading Due To Misplaced End Tidal Co2 Sampling Port, Andrew Ng, Md, Elia Elia, Md, Lisa Luyun, Md

Department of Anesthesiology Faculty Papers

In conclusion, if abnormal capnography is seen where the baseline inspiratory CO2 is higher than usual, inspect the circuit for rebreathing and consider examining the position of ETCO2 sampling port. We recommend confirming ETCO2 sampling port is connected immediately distal to Y-piece before starting a case for accurate CO2 measurement.

Intraoperative Point-Of-Care Blood Glucose Values Show Poor Agreement With Central Lab Blood Values, Eric Schwenk, Md, Richard H. Epstein, Md, Cphims, Boris Mraovic, Md

Department of Anesthesiology Faculty Papers

Introduction:

Accuracy of point-of-care (POC) glucose devices compared to central lab values in critically ill patients has come into question, particularly during intensive insulin therapy.

POC devices perform particularly poorly in the hypoglycemic range.

Typically tested under ideal conditions in the lab; intraoperative, real-life data are lacking.
