MR imaging findings in early osteoarthritis of the knee
(2004)
Purpose: To carry out a modern diagnostic survey among patients with a clinical and radiological diagnosis of early osteoarthritis of the knee. Materials and methods:A magnetic resonance imaging survey was performed on 70 ...
Recommendations for standardization and phenotype definitions in genetic studies of osteoarthritis: the TREAT-OA consortium
(2011)
Objective: To address the need for standardization of osteoarthritis (OA) phenotypes by examining the effect of heterogeneity among symptomatic (SOA) and radiographic osteoarthritis (ROA) phenotypes. Methods: Descriptions ...
Scaphoid nonunions treated with vascularised bone grafts: MRI assessment
(2004)
Purpose: To assess the value of MR imaging (MRI) with regard to union, graft viability and proximal pole bone marrow status, after use of vascularized bone grafts for treating scaphoid nonunions. Materials and methods: ...
Clinical and epidemiological features of upper-extremity infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus carrying the PVL gene: A four-year study in Greece
(2008)
Background: All Staphyloccus aureus isolated during 2003-2006 at a university hospital in Thessalia, central Greece, from ulcerative upper-extremity infection were tested for the presence of PVL gene and for possible clonal ...
Heterotopic neo-osteogenesis from vascularized periosteum and bone grafts
(2002)
Background: Periosteum is an osteogenic, flexible tissue. This study investigated the osteogenic potential of vascularized periosteal flaps in heterotopic conditions and compared it to the neo-osteogenesis from vascularized ...
Testing the druggable endothelial differentiation gene 2 knee osteoarthritis genetic factor for replication in a wide range of sample collections
(2009)
Objectives: To replicate a previously reported association with osteoarthritis (OA) of the promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs10980705 in the endothelial differentiation gene 2 (EDG2). Methods: Five collections ...
Use of a Mini-External Fixator for the Treatment of Hand Fractures
(2009)
Purpose To evaluate the outcome of hand fractures managed with mini-external fixators (MEFs) in order to assess their usefulness in different fracture types and to make recommendations regarding potential applications. ...
Complex regional pain syndrome type I as a consequence of trauma or surgery to upper extremity: management with intravenous regional anaesthesia, using lidocaine and methyloprednisolone
(2011)
Complex regional pain syndrome type I (CRPS-I) is a known complication after surgery or trauma to the upper extremity and is difficult to treat. A simple and easily tolerated method of treatment that includes intravenous ...
New Sequence Variants in HLA Class II/III Region Associated with Susceptibility to Knee Osteoarthritis Identified by Genome-Wide Association Study
(2010)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease that has a definite genetic component. Only a few OA susceptibility genes that have definite functional evidence and replication of association have been reported, however. Through ...
