Worse Postoperative Outcomes And Higher Reoperation In Smokers Compared To Nonsmokers For Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair, Susan G. Wager, Spencer Brown, Michael Gaudiani, Joshua P. Castle, Eric Jiang, Vasilios Moutzouros, Eric Makhni, Stephanie J. Muh
Medical Student Research Symposium
Introduction: Smoking impairs healing potential and is a significant risk factor for complications following orthopaedic surgeries. The purpose of this study was to determine if a cohort of former or current smokers at time of surgery met the minimally clinical important difference (MCID) for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Upper Extremity (PROMIS-UE), Depression (PROMIS-D), and Pain Interference (PROMIS-PI) scores in comparison to nonsmokers.
Methods: A retrospective review of patients who underwent rotator cuff repair was performed. Patients who completed preoperative and 6-month postoperative PROMIS scores were included. The MCID was calculated using a distribution technique with a threshold of 0.5 …
Minimalistic Approach To Enhanced Recovery After Pediatric Scoliosis Surgery, 2023 LSU Health Sciences Center - New Orleans

School of Medicine Faculty Publications
Purpose: Prior studies of enhanced recovery protocols (ERP) have been conducted at large institutions with abundant resources. These results may not apply at institutions with less resources directed to quality improvement efforts. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of a minimalistic enhanced recovery protocol in reducing length of stay (LOS) following PSF for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. We hypothesized that accelerated transition to oral pain medications and mobilization alone could shorten hospital length of stay in the absence of a formal multimodal pain regimen. Methods: AIS patients aged 10–18 who underwent PSF at a tertiary pediatric hospital …

Lipomatosis Of Nerve, 2023 Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine
Lipomatosis Of Nerve, Mehruba Alam, Thomas Benjamin Lyle Wasden
Annual Research Symposium
Lipomatosis of nerve is a benign lesion with increased fibrofatty tissue infiltrating and surrounding nerves, usually occurring in children and young adults as a slowly progressive swelling or mass, which can clinically mimic a tumor or malignancy. Here we report a 59-year-old man who presented with pain in his right foot and a mass that has been mostly stable for years, but which seems to have grown slightly of late, and is clinically suspicious for ganglion cyst. The MRI revealed a fatty mass concerning for lipoma or atypical lipomatous tumor. Consequently, the patient underwent excisional biopsy. The H&E sections showed …

Hemoglobinopathy Is Associated With Total Hip Arthroplasty Indication Even Beyond Sickle Cell Anemia, 2023 University of Kentucky
Hemoglobinopathy Is Associated With Total Hip Arthroplasty Indication Even Beyond Sickle Cell Anemia, Maxwell J. Rakutt, Daniel N. Bracey, Anna Cohen-Rosenblum, Peter K. Sculco, Franco M. Sabatini, Cale A. Jacobs, Stephen T. Duncan, David C. Landy
School of Medicine Faculty Publications
Background: The extent to which hemoglobinopathies other than sickle anemia (HbSS) are associated with hip osteonecrosis is unknown. Sickle cell trait (HbS), hemoglobin SC (HbSC), and sickle/β-thalassemia (HbSβTh) may also predispose to osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). We sought to compare the distributions of indications for a total hip arthroplasty (THA) in patients with and without specific hemoglobinopathies. Methods: PearlDiver, an administrative claims database, was used to identify 384,401 patients aged 18 years or older undergoing a THA not for fracture from 2010 to 2020, with patients grouped by diagnosis code (HbSS N = 210, HbSC N = 196, …

Journal of Patient-Centered Research and Reviews
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate effects of perioperative dexamethasone on hospital length of stay (LOS) and glycemic control for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: We performed retrospective case review of THA performed in adults (≥ 18 years old) with type 2 diabetes at Springfield Memorial Hospital (Springfield, IL) immediately before (2013), during (2014), and after (2015) publication of consensus guidelines for use of perioperative dexamethasone. Hospital LOS was the primary endpoint. Capillary blood glucose by hospital day, proportion of patients treated with insulin, and median insulin dose by hospital day …
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Use In The Treatment Of Osteoarthritis: A Literature Review, 2023 Dominican University of California
Mesenchymal Stem Cell Use In The Treatment Of Osteoarthritis: A Literature Review, Samantha Arrizon, Nolan Barnes, Teresa Del Toro, Lei Wena Herme, Vanessa Mendoza, Thi Tran, Reeta Zamro
Physician Assistant Studies | Literature Reviews
Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapies have been growing in popularity in research due to their anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and regenerative properties. Many ongoing clinical trials are investigating the safety and efficacy of MSC therapies to treat osteoarthritis, also known as “wear and tear” arthritis. As the average life expectancy increases, with age people are more prone to developing this disease, therefore, increasing its prevalence. This condition is progressive and will lead to functional decline, decreased quality of life, and increased medical costs. Our focus is to discuss the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell injections in alleviating pain, improving functionality, and slowing …
Presentation Of A Peri-Prosthetic Atypical Femur Fracture After Long Term Anti-Resorptive Medication Use, 2023 University of Vermont
Presentation Of A Peri-Prosthetic Atypical Femur Fracture After Long Term Anti-Resorptive Medication Use, Jennifer B. Bamford, Jennifer Kelly
Larner College of Medicine Faculty Publications
Peri-prosthetic atypical femur fractures are rare. Most are associated with the use of long-term bisphosphonates and other anti-resorptive medications. This case highlights a 74-year-old female treated with approximately 13 years of bisphosphonate therapy followed by a short course of denosumab, who suffered an atraumatic peri-prosthetic fracture after a several month prodrome. This case report's objectives are to show how the prodrome presents, increase recognition of the condition and work up prior to fracture, and emphasize the need to consider drug holidays.

Dental Hygiene Faculty Publications
Purpose The objective of this study was to compare the effects of ten commercially available instrument handle designs’ mass and diameter on forearm muscle activity during a simulated periodontal scaling experience.
Methods A convenience sample of 25 registered dental hygienists were recruited for this IRB-approved study. Ten commercially available instruments were categorized into four groups based on their masses and diameters: large diameter/light mass, small diameter/light mass, large diameter/heavy mass, and small diameter/heavy mass. Participants were randomized to four instruments with one from each group. Participants scaled with each instrument in a simulated oral environment while muscle activity was collected …

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports
Osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT) is a bone degenerative disease that results in bone erosion, joint effusion, joint swelling, and sometimes, nerve compression. OAT occurs from the hematogenous dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) bacilli spreading from the primary site of infection to the bones and joints; the primary site of infection tends to be the lungs as pulmonary tuberculosis infections are the most common. OAT can occur as the result of an active or latent infection. Latent infections result in OAT when bacilli are able to escape granulomas. The incidence of OAT is not as high as pulmonary infections, making up about …

Introduction: Paraspinal Compartment Syndrome (PCS) is a well-documented complication after trauma and orthopedic injuries though incidence of atraumatic PCS in individuals with substance use disorder (SUD) is not well documented. We present a case of a middle-aged man with acute PCS after intravenous (IV) amphetamine use.
Case Description: 40-years-old male with a history of substance use disorder was brought in for evaluation after being found wandering naked in the streets. He admitted to relapsing and using 0.5 grams of IV amphetamine. He was found to be agitated, energetic, and endorsed visual and auditory hallucinations. Initial physical examination showed no focal …
