Hypothesis: It is currently unknown whether time from injury affects outcomes following repair of dorsal scapholunate ligament (SLL) tears. We tested the null hypothesis that the outcomes of SLL repair are similar when performed within 6 weeks of injury (acute repair) versus when repaired from 6 to 12 weeks following injury (subacute repair). Methods: This case-control study examined 22 patient...

objectives: stroke is the leading cause of long-term disability. hand motor impairment resulting from chronic stroke may have extensive physical, psychological, financial, and social implications despite available rehabilitative treatments. the best time to start treatment for stroke, is in sub-acute period. repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rtms) is a method of stimulating and augme...

The success of orthotopic liver transplantation is dependent on multiple factors including MHC tissue compatibility and ischemic/reperfusion injury. Ischemic/reperfusion (I/R) injury in the liver occurs in a biphasic pattern consisting of both acute phase (oxygen free radical mediated) and subacute phase (neutrophil-mediated) damage. Although numerous studies have given insights into the proces...

Excitation in the epicardial border zone of 3-5-day-old canine infarcts was mapped with an array of 192 bipolar electrodes during sustained ventricular tachycardia. Reentrant circuits were found in which activation occurred around long lines of apparent conduction block based on the criterion that excitation on opposite sides of the lines occurred with marked disparity in time. When the lines o...

Horder (1909) reviewed 150 cases of subacute bacterial endocarditis at all ages and found that congenital heart lesions were present in eight (5-3 ). In 250 similar cases reviewed by Kelson and White (1945) there were 13 (5-2%) congenital heart lesions, and in a further 88 cases seen between 1939 and 1944 White, Mathews and Evans (1945) recorded 12 (13%), whilst Seabury (1947) put the incidence...

Subacute and rehabilitation services are likely to play an increasingly important role in the health and long-term care systems, as population ageing increases the prevalence of chronic disease and disability. The role and scope of these services is difficult to assess in the Australian context due to the paucity of standardised definitions and administrative reporting systems. This paper appra...

Tolysin, which is the ethyl ester of para methylphenyl cinchoninic acid, has recently been added to the list of remedies said to be useful in rheumatic fever. In the present study the effect of this drug was observed2 in cases of juvenile rheumatic fever, in which it is well known that joint symptoms are often minimal and that the carditis may be the most prominent feature. Its antipyretic and ...

Clinical and hemodynamic observations are reported in 13 patients who demonstrated a distinct pathophysiologic form of compressive pericardial disease characterized by effusion into a free pericardial space associated with constriction of the heart by the visceral pericardium. The pericardial disease was idiopathic (nine patients) or subsequent to radiotherapy (four patients), with a maximal du...
