The 12-in-1 procedure for the treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot
(2008)
The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term results of an extended soft tissue release in a single procedure, for the treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot. Seventeen patients with 22 congenital idiopathic ...
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)
Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ...
Large replication study and meta-analyses of DVWA as an osteoarthritis susceptibility locus in European and Asian populations
(2009)
Recently, through a genome wide association study in Japanese knee osteoarthritis (OA) cases, a previously unknown gene, DVWA, was identified. The non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7639618 was subsequently ...
Low-molecular-weight heparin for prevention of thrombosis: Inverted role
(2007)
BACKGROUND: Heparin induced thrombosis (HIT) after low-molecular-weight (LMWH) administration for thrombosis prevention is a limb and life threatening condition. METHODS: Two previously healthy individuals, with nonviable ...
Effect of fatigue on tibial rotation after single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A 3-dimensional kinematic and kinetic matched-group analysis
(2012)
Background: Fatigue is an extrinsic factor adversely affecting joint proprioception and neuromuscular response, thereby increasing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and injury risk. The effectiveness of the single- ...
