BACKGROUND Recent studies have shown effective clinical results after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) but have shown several risk factors for re-dislocation after surgery. We evaluated whether patients are at a risk for re-dislocation during the first year after ABR, examined the recurrence rate after ABR, and sought to identify new risk factors. METHODS We performed ABR using bioabsorbable...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to test the strength of a suture capsulorrhaphy repair versus a capsulolabral repair with knotless suture anchors in a cadaveric model with anteroinferior shoulder instability. METHODS Fourteen cadaveric shoulders were tested with either a suture capsulorrhaphy to the intact labrum or a capsulolabral advancement using a knotless suture anchor into the gle...

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 Suture anchors are used consistently for repairs of soft tissues, especially around the glenohumeral joint. These anchors can be used either arthroscopically or in an open procedure to anatomically restore the labrum and capsular tissues to the glenoid after avulsion injuries (Bankart lesion). The purpose of this study was to analyze the pullout strength of a new knotless suture anchor ...

In this paper, we describe our work in NTCIR-10 on the task of cross-lingual link discovery (CLLD). Our proposed method is focused mainly on two aspects in order to accomplish this task: how to find important anchors from an original article in order to crosslink and how to find the correct links to articles in the target language for the original articles. The system first uses online data col...

The locations of chromatin loops in Drosophila were determined by Hi-C (chemical cross-linking, restriction digestion, ligation, and high-throughput DNA sequencing). Whereas most loop boundaries or "anchors" are associated with CTCF protein in mammals, loop anchors in Drosophila were found most often in association with the polycomb group (PcG) protein Polycomb (Pc), a subunit of polycomb repre...

Lexical cooccurrence in textual data is not uniformly random. The statistics inferred from the termcooccurrence data enable us to model dependencies between terms as graphs, somewhat resembling the way semantic memory is organised in human beings. In this paper we look at cooccurrence patterns to identify topical anchors of a given context. A context is defined as a collection of terms and topi...

background: inadequate attention to management and institutional reforms is an important barrier to achieving universal health coverage. skilled and motivated public health managers in adequate numbers are an important requirement to overcome this hurdle. however, what are the career choices of medical students? are they interested in community medicine and public health? to document the career...

This paper adds to research on girls' growing educational advantage by examining gender differences in career paths. Using baseline data from an intervention study (TRY-IT!) targeting 265 sixth-graders in Title I schools, our research traces adolescent career aspirations by gender, race and class. Additionally, we investigate whether girls and boys exhibit differential sensitivity to environmen...

The goal of this article is to investigate ultra wideband localization with time difference arrival processing at the anchors. We consider scenarios where anchors are placed very close each other and target be localized around group All target–anchor communications assumed in line-of-sight. Since our analysis shows that symmetries anchors’ placement, respect position, degrade positioning accura...
