Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle: case report and review of the literature
(2013)
Purpose Acute calcific tendinitis of the longus colli muscle (or retropharyngeal tendinitis) is an aseptic inflammatory process characterized by acute posterior neck pain, neck stiffness and dysphagia or odynophagia. ...
The 2003 Marshall R. Urist Award Paper - Genetic background of osteonecrosis: Associated with thrombophilic mutations?
(2004)
Intravascular coagulation is considered a major pathogenetic mechanism for nontraumatic osteonecrosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate the association of thrombophilic factor V G1691A mutation (factor V Leiden) and ...
The Catabolic Role of Toll-Like Receptor 2 (TLR-2) Mediated by the NF-kappa B Pathway in Septic Arthritis
(2011)
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in mediating cell activation on stimulation with microbial components. Our objective was to investigate the role of 'PLR-2 mediated by the NF-kappa B pathway in septic arthritic ...
Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound for bone healing: An overview
(2006)
Low-intensity ultrasound is a biophysical form of intervention in the fracture-repair process, which through several mechanisms accelerates healing of fresh fractures and enhances callus formation in delayed unions and ...
The effect of osteoporotic treatment on the functional outcome, re-fracture rate, quality of life and mortality in patients with hip fractures: A prospective functional and clinical outcome study on 520 patients
(2015)
Numerous high quality studies have shown the positive effects of various osteoporotic medical treatment regimens on bone mass and on the reduction of risk for new spinal, hip and non-spinal fractures in osteoporotic patients. ...
The growth differentiation factor 5 (GDF5) core promoter polymorphism is not associated with knee osteoarthritis in the Greek population
(2008)
Genetic factors have been shown to play an important role in the etiology of osteoarthritis (OA). A functional single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) +104T/C; rs143383 in the 5' UTR of the GDF5 gene was recently associated ...
An MRI-based semiautomated volumetric quantification of hip osteonecrosis
(2001)
Objective: To objectively and precisely define the spatial distribution of osteonecrosis and to investigate the influence of various factors including etiology. Design: A volumetric method is presented to describe the size ...
Munchausen syndrome: A differential diagnostic trap for hand surgeons
(2010)
A 24-year-old woman was referred with an extremely painful, stiff, swollen, and hypersensitive right upper extremity. She had history of four previous operations on the same extremity. The primary diagnosis was complex ...
Hemiarthroplasty for three- and four-part displaced fractures of the proximal humerus in patients over 65 years of age
(2007)
This is a prospective case series, in which the outcome of shoulder hemiarthroplasty in recent three- and four-part fractures of the proximal humerus was evaluated in patients over 65 years of age. From February 1993 to ...
Low-Density Lipoprotein Receptor-Related Protein 5 (LRP5) Expression in Human Osteoarthritic Chondrocytes
(2010)
The aim of this study was to investigate the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway in osteoarthritis and the role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 5 (LRP5) in human osteoarthritic chondrocytes. The ...
