Northeastern China 4.2ka Database, Louis A. Scuderi, Xiaoping Yamg, Samantha Ascoli, Hongwei Li

Paleoclimate Datasets

The Hunshandake Sandy Lands of northeastern China, currently a semiarid lightly vegetated region, were characterized by perennial lakes and forest stands in the early and middle Holocene. Well-developed dark grassland-type paleosols (mollisols) at the southern edge of the Hunshandake OSL-dated to between 6.93 +0.61 and 4.27 +0.38 ka along with lacustrine sands at higher elevations that date to between 5.7 +0.3 and 5.2 +0.2 ka and thick gray lacustrine sediments suggest a wetter climate. Between 4.2 and 3.8 ka, the region experienced extreme drying that was exacerbated by lake overflow drainage and sapping that depleted the groundwater table. The region …

Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis In A 66-Year-Old Woman After Fusion Of The Second Right Metatarsocuneiform Joint Using Titanium Plate And Screws: A Case Report, Sarah K. Brown, Christopher Kurnik, Emily M. Altman, Richard A. Miller

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Metallic orthopaedic implants are known to instigate cutaneous reactions; however, the mechanism by which this occurs is not fully understood. Contact dermatitis after implantation of stainless steel fracture plates was first described in 1966, and similar reactions to various implants have been documented subsequently. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is an inflammatory condition of small dermal blood vessels resulting from neutrophil invasion, degranulation, and cell death caused by a type III hypersensitivity reaction. No studies have reported use of titanium orthopaedic implants resulting in LCV. We describe a 66-year-old woman who developed LCV after the fusion of her second right metatarsocuneiform joint …

Complete Great Toe Sesamoid Excision: A Case Series, James A. Dollahite, Benjamin D. Packard, Richard A. Miller

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: Hallux sesamoids notably contribute to the biomechanics of the great toe. Although frequently ignored or forgotten, injury to the hallux sesamoids can be debilitating. Conservative management remains the initial approach for symptomatic sesamoid disorders, but surgical excision is an option. We performed a retrospective case series to examine the preoperative characteristics and postsurgical outcomes of patients who underwent great toe sesamoidectomy.

Methods: We reviewed medical records of patients who underwent great toe sesamoidectomy performed by a single surgeon (RAM) during a 10-year period (26 patients, 28 procedures). Data collected included smoking status, prior first ray surgical treatment, highlevel athlete …

Comparison Of Intraoperative Fluoroscopy To Postoperative Weight-Bearing Radiographs Obtained 4 To 6 Weeks After Bunion Repair With A Chevron Osteotomy, Amber L. Price, Travis M. Hughes, Christopher Kurnik, Christina G. Kurnik, Katherine J. Gavin, Richard A. Miller

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: During operative treatment of bunions, an attempt is made to correct the hallux valgus angle (HVA) and the intermetatarsal angle (IMA). In this study, the HVA and the IMA were measured using intraoperative C-arm fluoroscopic images obtained during surgical treatment of a bunion with chevron osteotomy. These angles were again measured using weight-bearing radiographs obtained 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively.

Methods: At our institution, we reviewed medical records of patients who underwent a bunion repair with chevron osteotomy between January 2013 and October 2017. A total of 26 feet from 24 patients were included. Three authors (ALP, TMH, and …

Decoupling The Effects Of The Amyloid Precursor Protein From Amyloid-Β Plaques On Axonal Transport Dynamics In The Living Brain, Christopher S. Medina, Taylor W. Uselman, Daniel R. Barto, Frances Cháves, Russell E. Jacobs, Elaine L. Bearer

Pathology Research and Scholarship

Amyloid precursor protein (APP) is the precursor to Aβ plaques. The cytoplasmic domain of APP mediates attachment of vesicles to molecular motors for axonal transport. In APP-KO mice, transport of Mn2+ is decreased. In old transgenic mice expressing mutated human (APPSwInd) linked to Familial Alzheimer's Disease, with both expression of APPSwInd and plaques, the rate and destination of Mn2+ axonal transport is altered, as detected by time-lapse manganese-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MEMRI) of the brain in living mice. To determine the relative contribution of expression of APPSwInd versus plaque on transport dynamics, we developed a Tet-off system to decouple expression …

Nidus Idearum. Scilogs, V: Joining The Dots, Florentin Smarandache

Branch Mathematics and Statistics Faculty and Staff Publications

My lab[oratory] is a virtual facility with noncontrolled conditions in which I mostly perform scientific meditation and chats: a nest of ideas (nidus idearum, in Latin). I called the jottings herein scilogs (truncations of the words scientific, and gr. Λόγος – appealing rather to its original meanings "ground", "opinion", "expectation"), combining the welly of both science and informal (via internet) talks (in English, French, and Romanian). * In this fifth book of scilogs collected from my nest of ideas, one may find new and old questions and solutions, mostly referring to topics on NEUTROSOPHY – email messages to research colleagues, …

Traumatic Neuroma Of The Median Nerve: A Case Report, Keir Johnson, Amber West, Brooke Baker

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Peripheral nerve neuromas are growths that develop after nerve trauma, which can result in enlarged and painful nerve ends when severed. Treatment of neuromas that form within a continuous nerve is controversial; however, success has been reported after general neurolysis with decompression of the nerve after its isolation from the surrounding scar bed. We describe a 21-year-old man who presented with symptoms of pain and intermittent numbness in his left elbow. Findings of high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound confirmed the diagnosis of median nerve neuroma at the level of the forearm. He subsequently underwent neurolysis with protective nerve wrap, …

Fracture Of The Ulnar Sesamoid Bone In The Thumb Of A Collegiate Basketball Player: A Case Report, Andrew M. Hyden, Christopher A. Mcgrew, Deana Mercer

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Sesamoid fractures of the hand are uncommon occurrences that can lead to prolonged pain and swelling if delayed in diagnosis. This is particularly problematic in competitive athletes. We describe an ulnar sesamoid fracture of the thumb due to a blunt traumatic injury in a Division I collegiate basketball player. The 22-year-old woman injured her left thumb when kicked during a game. The patient was treated nonoperatively with promising outcomes. Sesamoid fractures of the hand can be difficult to diagnose, and any delay can lengthen the amount of time before the athlete returns to play. Radiographic findings may help healthcare providers …

Accuracy And Reliability Of Examiners’ Observations Of Pre-Practice Warm-Up And Fifa 11+ Injury Prevention Program Exercises, James R. Slauterbeck, Pamela M. Vacek, Rebecca Choquette, Tessa Kettelkamp, Autumn Reilly, Brandon Lentine, Bruce D. Beynnon

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) 11+ is an injury prevention program that decreases the incidence of lower extremity injuries. The purpose of the current study was to understand what specific exercises prevented injury from occurring. We thus developed and tested a form to identify these exercises. We hypothesize that trained examiners could accurately and reliably use this form to identify and record individual exercises performed during preparticipation warm-up.

Methods: A repeated-measures study design was used in this investigation. After observing five prepractice warm-up videos obtained from multiple high schools, 11 examiners observed and recorded performed exercises at …
