BACKGROUND Symptomatic Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocations have historically been surgically treated with Coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction with transfer of the Coracoacromial (CA) ligament. Tensioning the CA ligament is the key to success. METHODS Seventeen patients with chronic, symptomatic Type III AC joint or acute Type IV and V injuries were treated surgically. The distal cla...

A new antitumor antibiotic gilvusmycin was isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. QM16. The structure of gilvusmycin was related to CC-1065 and determined by NMR spectral analysis. Gilvusmycin exhibited antitumor activity against murine leukemia P388 in vivo.

BACKGROUND Conservative treatment of acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation is not always successful. A consequence of persistent AC joint dislocation may be chronic pain and discomfort in the shoulder region as well a sensation of constant AC joint instability and impaired shoulder function. Stabilization of the AC joint may reduce these sequels. MATERIALS AND METHODS Due to chronic AC joi...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to explore the perspectives and practice of radiation oncologists who treat breast cancer patients who have had breast reconstruction. METHODS In 2010, an original electronic survey was sent to all physician members of the American Society of Radiation Oncology, National Cancer Research Institute-Breast Cancer Studies Group in the United Kingdom, Thai Societ...

A novel image reconstruction method called multiple regression fitting electrical impedance spectro-tomography (mrf-EIST) has been proposed in order to realize the quantitative of dead cell fraction ϕd and concentration cc a huge amount environment. mrf-EIST statistically selects frequencies extract two variables ψd ψc, which quantifyϕd cc, respectively. The images a...

PURPOSE We questioned whether it is feasible in the current era of cost consciousness to perform standard open pediatric urological procedures on an outpatient basis while maintaining patient safety and satisfaction. MATERIALS AND METHODS We report on 51 consecutive patients 2 months to 13 years old (mean age 4 years 3 months) who underwent a standard open pediatric urological procedure betwe...

To assess the clinical and radiological outcomes of a surgical technique for fixing displaced distal clavicle fractures using combination cortical button (CB) fixation coracoclavicular (CC) ligament reconstruction. We conducted retrospective review twenty-two consecutive patients with displaced, unstable Neer Type II or V that underwent this from 2012 to 2019. Primary outcome variables were rad...

In this work, we perform a systematic study of the mass spectra, root mean square(r.m.s.) radii and radial density distributions doubly charmed baryons $\Xi_{cc}$ $\Omega_{cc}$. The calculations are carried out in frame work Godfrey-Isgur (GI) relativized quark model, where baryon is regarded as real three-body system quarks. Our results show that excited energy with $\rho$-mode lower than thos...
