Assessment of symptomatic rod fracture after posterior instrumented fusion for adult spinal deformity.
(Neurosurgery, 2012-10)<h4>Background</h4>Improved understanding of rod fracture (RF) in adult spinal deformity could be valuable for implant design, surgical planning, and patient counseling.<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate symptomatic RF after ... -
Association between general joint hypermobility and knee, hip, and lumbar spine osteoarthritis by race: a cross-sectional study.
(Arthritis research & therapy, 2018-04-18)BACKGROUND:Osteoarthritis (OA) prevalence differs by race. General joint hypermobility (GJH) may be associated with OA, but differences by race are not known. This community-based study examined the frequency of GJH and ... -
Can unsupervised cluster analysis identify patterns of complex adult spinal deformity with distinct perioperative outcomes?
(Journal of neurosurgery. Spine, 2023-05)<h4>Objective</h4>The objective of this study was to use an unsupervised cluster approach to identify patterns of operative adult spinal deformity (ASD) and compare the perioperative outcomes of these groups.<h4>Methods</h4>A ... -
Changes in radiographic and clinical outcomes with primary treatment adult spinal deformity surgeries from two years to three- to five-years follow-up.
(Spine, 2010-09)<h4>Study design</h4>Retrospective analysis of data entered prospectively into a multicenter database-clinical and radiographic outcomes assessment.<h4>Objective</h4>Our hypothesis is that between the 2-year and the 3- to ... -
Chronic Lyme disease: the controversies and the science.
(Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther, 2011-07)The diagnosis of chronic Lyme disease has been embroiled in controversy for many years. This is exacerbated by the lack of a clinical or microbiologic definition, and the commonality of chronic symptoms in the general population. ... -
Co-occurring Fatigue and Lymphatic Pain Incrementally Aggravate Their Negative Effects on Activities of Daily Living, Emotional Distress, and Overall Health of Breast Cancer Patients.
(Integrative cancer therapies, 2022-01)<h4>Background</h4>Fatigue and lymphatic pain are the most common and debilitating long-term adverse effects of breast cancer treatment. Fatigue and pain independently have negative effects on quality of life, physical functions, ... -
Comparable satisfaction and clinical outcomes after surgery for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the adult (AISA) between the US and Japan.
(Journal of orthopaedic science : official journal of the Japanese Orthopaedic Association, 2023-01)<h4>Background</h4>The impact of ethnicity on the surgery outcomes of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in the adult (AISA) is poorly understood. This study aimed to compare the surgery outcomes for AISA between the United ... -
Comprehensive study of back and leg pain improvements after adult spinal deformity surgery: analysis of 421 patients with 2-year follow-up and of the impact of the surgery on treatment satisfaction.
