  Penetrating injury to the forearm may cause an isolated radial or ulnar artery injury, or a complex injury involving other structures including veins, tendons and nerves. The management of forearm laceration with arterial injury involves both operative and nonoperative strategies. An evolution in management has emerged especially at urban trauma centers, where the multidisciplinary resource of trauma and hand subspecialties may invoke controversy pertaining to the optimal management of such injuries. The objective of this review was to provide an evidence-based, systematic, operative and nonoperative approach to the management of isolated and complex forearm lacerations. A comprehensive search of MedLine, Cochrane Library, Embase and the National Guideline Clearinghouse did not yield evidence-based management guidelines for forearm arterial laceration injury. No professional or societal consensus guidelines or best practice guidelines exist to our knowledge.

  Documentation, coding, and billing for physician-patient encounters have evolved over time and have significant variability. Appropriate and complete documentation of these encounters can contribute to the financial viability of private and academic medical centers. The objectives of this study were to assess the financial effect of documentation on billing and to compare the authors' institution's distribution of billing level compared with Medicare normative data. Four orthopedic surgery subspecialty clinics were evaluated at a university outpatient clinic over a 1-year period. A single full-day clinic per week was used for each subspecialty. Residents dictated the majority of the reports. All reports were transcribed by medical transcriptionists and coded by certified professional coders. The sports medicine subspecialty generated the highest volume of patient clinic visits, followed by foot and ankle, trauma, and spine (P

  More info

  Osteoporotic compression fractures frequently occur at the thoracolumbar junction as a result of anterior column failure. Fractures of the pedicles are much less common and are not known to be associated with a prior compression fracture. Bilateral pedicle fractures over several consecutive lumbar levels in an osteoporotic elderly patient have not been previously reported.

  More info

  Measurement of tricuspid annulus motion (TAM) is an easy way to estimate right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF). However the accuracy of two-dimensional (2-D) methods for analyzing the three-dimensional (3-D) structure of the tricuspid annulus has not been evaluated.

  Although much progress has been made in identifying genetic defects associated with mitochondrial diseases, the protein expression patterns of most disorders are poorly understood. Here we use immunochemical techniques to describe subunit expression patterns of respiratory chain enzyme complexes II (succinate dehydrogenase: SD) and IV (cytochrome c oxidase: COX) in cultured cells lacking mtDNA (Rho0 cells) derived either chemically by exposure of normal cells to ethidium bromide, or genetically in cells derived from a patient with mtDNA depletion syndrome. Both control cells and early passage patient-derived cells express a normal complement of SD and COX subunit proteins. Ethidium bromide treatment of normal cells and in vitro cell proliferation of patient-derived cells caused both populations to acquire identical Rho0 phenotypes. As expected, they lack mtDNA-encoded subunits COX-I and COX-II. In contrast, nDNA-encoded subunits are affected differentially, with some (COX-VIc) lacking and others (COX-IV, COX-Va, SD 30 and SD 70) maintained at somewhat reduced levels. We suggest that the differential stability of nDNA-encoded subunits in the absence of intact enzyme complexes is due to the ability of some, but not all, subunits to associate as partial complexes in the absence of mtDNA-encoded subunits.
