Endoscopic resection of intrathoracic tumors: experience with and long-term results for 26 patients.

By jorge | Published: January 20, 2011

Conclusions Endoscopic transthoracic approaches can reduce approach-related soft-tissue morbidity and facilitate recovery by preserving the normal tissues of the chest wall, by avoiding rib retraction and muscle transection, and by reducing postoperative pain. This less invasive approach thus shortens hospital stay and recovery time.

Will We Still Have Babies?

By melissa | Published: January 20, 2011

Dear Health Conscious Reader, I was just reading the journal Human Reproduction. A Danish study found that if a woman whoâ€™s pregnant with a son takes just one 500 mg acetaminophen pill during her second trimester heâ€™s twice as likely to have fertility problems. It gets worse

SAPHO syndrome presenting as widespread bony metastatic disease of unknown origin

By shervin | Published: January 19, 2011

We present the case of a 52-year-old female who presented with non-specific back pain. Radiological imaging showed mixed lytic and sclerotic lesions of her lumbar spine and pelvis consistent with bony metastatic disease. She underwent CT-guided biopsy that confirmed histological findings in keeping with non-bacterial osteitis/chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis

Lumbar spinal stenosis in elderly patients: is a unilateral microsurgical approach sufficient for decompression?

By jorge | Published: January 13, 2011

Conclusions Laminectomies did not show any advantage when compared with unilateral transmedian approaches. A unilateral partial hemilaminectomy combined with a transmedian decompression sufficiently treated the stenosis. This method seemed advantageous in minimizing the procedure and associated morbidity in this elderly population.

Physical activity and low back pain: a systematic review of recent literature

By jorge | Published: January 10, 2011

In conclusion, the occurrence of LBP is related to the nature and intensity of the physical activities undertaken. However, physical activities can be subdivided into separate types and intensities and the ultimate physical load is the sum of all these activities. This makes it difficult to designate one particular activity as the cause of LBP.
