Purpose We aimed to assess functional outcomes and postoperative recurrence rate associated with the remplissage procedure used for bone augmentation with Bankart repair in patients with Hill-Sachs lesions after shoulder dislocation. Methods Preoperative computed tomography was performed to check for bony Bankart lesions,calculate the bone defect rate, and estimate the risk for re-dislocation...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of a teaching method that uses 3-dimensional (3D) silicone-based prosthetic mimics of common serious lesions and eruptions and to compare learning outcomes with those achieved through the conventional method of lectures with 2-dimensional (2D) images. DESIGN Prospective and comparative. SETTING University of Massachusetts Medical School. PARTICIPAN...

Skin cancer, the most common human malignancy, is primarily diagnosed visually by physicians . Classification with an automated method like CNN [2, 3] shows potential for challenging tasks . By now, the deep convolutional neural networks are on par with human dermatologist . This abstract is dedicated on developing a Deep Learning method for ISIC [5] 2017 Skin Lesion Detection Competition hoste...

Footrot is a costly endemic disease of sheep. This study investigates the potential to decrease its prevalence through selective breeding for decreased lesion score. Pedigreed mule and Scottish Blackface (SBF) ewes were scored for lesions on each hoof on a 0 to 4 scale for up to 2 (SBF ewes) or 4 (mules) times over 2 ye...

Methods: 644 patients with a primary unilateral ACL reconstruction and a concomitant full-thickness cartilage lesion treated simultaneously by debridement (n=78) or microfracture (n=88), or receiving no treatment (n=191) of the cartilage lesion, registered in the Norwegian and the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry during 2005-2008 were included. Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scor...

BACKGROUND The contribution of 5α-reductase 1 and 5α-reductase 2 to prostate cancer development and progression is not clearly understood. TRAMP mice are a common prostate cancer model, in which 5α-reductase 1 and 5α-reductase 2 expression levels, along with prostate lesions scores, have not been investigated at different time points to further understand prostate carcinogenesis. METHOD/PRINC...

Different floor space allowances for dry, pregnant sows in pens were evaluated to determine the impacts of space on sow performance, productivity, and body lesions during 2 consecutive farrowings. Treatment groups of 5 sows/pen were assigned to 1.4, 2.3, or 3.3 m(2) of floor space/sow or of 5 sows in individual stalls (1.34 m(2)). The experiment consisted of 6 replications (blocks 1 to 6), and ...

Melanoma skin cancer is one of the most dangerous forms because it grows fast and causes deaths. Hence, early detection a very important task to treat melanoma. In this article, we propose lesion segmentation method for dermoscopic images based on U-Net architecture with VGG-16 encoder semantic segmentation. Base segmented lesion, diagnostic imaging systems can evaluate features classify them. ...

The Ruff-Light Trail Learning Test (RULIT) was developed as a neuropsychological measure of visuospatial learning and memory. RULIT scores of patients with right hemisphere and left hemisphere damage, as well as matched controls were compared. Right hemisphere lesion patients scored significantly lower on RULIT measures than did left hemisphere lesion patients and controls. The performance of l...

Methods The R-US trial recruited patients with de novo native coronary lesions suitable for 1or 2-vessel treatment with stents from 2.25 to 4.0 mm in diameter. In the main analysis cohort (2.5to 3.5-mm stents and single-lesion treatment), the primary endpoint was 12-month target lesion failure (TLF) defined as the composite of cardiac death, myocardial infarction (MI), and clinically-driven tar...
