Quantitative in vivo assessment of bone allograft viability using ¹⁸F-fluoride PET/CT after glenoid augmentation in reverse shoulder arthroplasty: a pilot study

Josef Hochreiter, Georg Mattiassich, Wolfgang Hitzl, Georg Weber, more

European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology > 2019 > 29 > 7 > 1399-1404

Background Success after glenoid bone augmentation in total shoulder arthroplasty depends on osseous integration and non-resorption. Standard imaging techniques, such as computed tomography (CT) and X-rays, cannot quantify bone viability. Therefore, we introduce a new technique to assess graft viability using ¹⁸F-sodium fluoride (¹⁸F-NaF) PET–CT for femoral allografts in reverse total shoulder arthroplasty...

Karin Wuertz‐Kozak, Dominique Bleisch, Najia Nadi, Peter Prömmel, more

Neurourology and Urodynamics > 38 > 2 > 632 - 636

Aims Anterior lumbar interbody fusion procedures (ALIF) and total disc replacement (TDR) with anterior exposure of the lumbar spine entail a risk of a vascular injury and dysfunction of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves due to disturbance of the inferior and superior hypogastric plexus. While retrograde ejaculation is a known complication of the anterior spinal approach in males, post‐operative...

Rainer Gloeckl, Vasileios Andrianopoulos, Antje Stegemann, Julian Oversohl, more

Respirology > 24 > 3 > 254 - 261

Non‐invasive ventilation (NIV) with a high inspiratory pressure significantly improved cycle endurance time, reduced exercise‐induced hypercapnia and relieved exertional dyspnoea in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients with chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. Complementary NIV with high inspiratory pressure support during cycling is feasible and a beneficial modality in the most...

Verena Wally, Alain Hovnanian, Juliette Ly, Hana Buckova, more

Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology > 2018 > 78 > 5 > 892-901.e7

Epidermolysis bullosa simplex (EBS) is a rare genetic, blistering skin disease for which there is no cure. Treatments that address the pathophysiology of EBS are needed.Compare the impact of 1% diacerein cream with placebo in reducing the number of blisters in EBS.In a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2/3 trial we used a 1% diacerein topical formulation to treat defined skin areas in 17 patients...

Christoph Wuertinger, Raphael D. Àgostino Annes, Wolfgang Hitzl, Christoph J. Siepe

The Spine Journal > 2018 > 18 > 1 > 72-80

Total lumbar disc replacement (TDR) intends to avoid fusion-related negative side effects by means of motion preservation. Despite their widespread use, the adequate quality and quantity of motion, as well as the correlation between radiographic data with the patient's clinical symptomatology, remains to be established. Long-term data are lacking in particular.This study aimed to perform a clinical...

Heiko Koller, Juliane Koller, Michael Mayer, Axel Hempfing, more

European Spine Journal > 2018 > 27 > 1 > 70-100

Introduction This article presents the current concepts of correction of spinal deformity in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients. Untreated AS can be a debilitating disease. In a few patients, disease progression results in severe spinal deformity affecting not only the thoracolumbar, but also the cervical spine. Surgery for correction in AS patients has a long history. With the advent of modern...
