Traditional methods of open and mini-open rotator cuff repairs have shown excellent results in shortand medium-term follow-up and remain viable methods of treating rotator cuff pathology. A trend toward the arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears continues, however, and will probably accelerate as the next generation of surgeons is trained in arthroscopic treatment methods. The purpose of thi...

background: the pneumatic tourniquet (pt) is routinely used in upper and lower limb operations by most orthopaedic surgeons. the silicone ring tourniquet (srt) was introduced in clinical practice the last decade. clinical as well comparative studies in volunteers concerning its safety and efficacy have been published. the aim of this study was to investigate the postoperative effect of the sili...

objective(s): auraptene, a monoterpene coumarin from citrus species, exhibits cardioprotective effects.in this study, the effects of auraptene administration were investigated on blood pressure of normotensive and desoxycorticosterone acetate (doca) salt induced hypertensive rats. materials and methods: five weeks administration of auraptene (2, 4, 8 and 16 mg/kg/day) and nifedipine (0.25, 0.5,...

ferula foetida (bunge) regel. is one of the most widespread and important ferula species with nutritional and medicinal applications. some phytochemicals with helpful cardiovascular effects have been isolated from ferula species. the present study was designed to evaluate the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of the stems of f. foetida in dexamethasone (dex)-induced hypertension in rats. hypert...

BACKGROUND A familial predisposition to the development of rotator cuff tearing has been previously reported. Very little information exists on the development of global tendon dysfunction in patients with rotator cuff tears. The purpose of the current study was to determine the incidence of global tendon dysfunction as well as the need for surgery for tendon dysfunction in patients with rotato...

Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) may be improved by the use of naturally occurring nerve signals as feedback signals. However, the usefulness of the recorded electroneurogram (ENG) signals from nerve cuff electrodes depends on the amount of electromyogram (EMG) interference and stimulus artefact present. Tripolar cuff electrodes reduce interference but suffer from imbalance, which degrad...

Ten children ages 12 months to 14 years were studied to determine the effect of cuff size on blood pressure determined by the Doppler ultrasonic technique compared to blood pressure recordings by the auscultatory method. It was found that Doppler determined blood pressure varied with cuff size as it does with the auscultatory method. Too small a cuff will give an artificially high recording whi...

Failed rotator cuff repair may be caused by surgical complications, diagnostic errors, technical errors, failure to heal, and traumatic failure. Revision rotator cuff repair is made technically more difficult by poor tissue quality, tissue adhesions, and retained suture and suture anchor material. Historically, open revision rotator cuff repair yields inferior results compared with primary rota...

PURPOSE To evaluate the effectiveness of early and delayed motion in rehabilitation after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using a meta-analysis from randomized controlled trials. MATERIALS AND METHODS Electronic searches of the CENTRAL, PUBMED, and EMBASE were used to identify randomized controlled trials that evaluated the effectiveness and safety of early and delayed motion for rehabilitat...
