To investigate the method and clinical effects of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with footprint ending shift for massive rotator cuff tear.
From March 2015 to April 2019, 27 patients with massive rotator cuff tear underwent arthroscopic repair, including 12 males and 15 females, ranging in age from 37 to 74 years old, with an average age of (56.1±8.9) years. According to the tension of rotator cuff, 5 patients were treated with double row suture bridge technique, and 22 patients were treated with single row technique, among which 7 patients underwent partial rotator cuff repair. Before and after operation, University of California Los Angeles(UCLA) score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score and visual analogue scale (VAS) were used to evaluate shoulder joint function.
All the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 8 to 40 months, with an average of (18.0±5.9) months. The UCLA score increased from preoperative 8.67±0.78 to final follow-up 30.89±1.07(
=43.56,
<0.001);ASES score increased from preoperative 8.56±0.67 to final follow-up 12.63±0.33(
=15.28,
<0.001);and the VAS decreased from preoperative 6.00(5.00 to 7.00) scores to final follow-up 0.00 (0.00 to 2.00) scores (
=-4.56,
<0.001). Three patients could not lift the shoulder above the head, without pain. The symptom had no effects on daily work and life, 2 of these patients underwent partial rotator cuff repair.
Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with footprint ending shift for massive rotator cuff tear has satisfactory results, and single-row can be chosen to completely or partial repair rotator cuff tear for most patients.

The first 24-72 hours following a stroke is a critical stage in the patient's management because deterioration can occur during this period. Hyperacute care is a time-sensitive method of managing stroke that has improved the provision of holistic and evidence-based stroke care. This article describes the care and management that patients require in the first 24-72 hours following stroke. It details the evidence-based practice that this involves, and explains the role of the nurse in providing hyperacute care.
Photothermal optical coherence tomography (PT-OCT) has the promise to offer structural images coregistered with chemical composition information, which can offer a significant impact in early detection of diseases such as atherosclerosis.
We take the first step in understanding the relation between PT-OCT signals and the endogenous tissue composition by considering the interplay between the opto-thermo-physical properties of tissue as a function of its lipid composition and the ensuing effects on the PT-OCT signals.
Multiparameter theoretical estimates for PT-OCT signal as a function of composition in a two-component lipid-water model are derived and discussed. Experimental data from various concentrations of lipid in the form of droplets and injections under bovine cardiac muscle align with theoretical predictions.
Theoretical and experimental results suggest that the variations of heat capacity and mass density with tissue composition significantly contribute to the amount of optical path length difference measured by OCT phase.
PT-OCT has the potential to offer key insights into the chemical composition of the subsurface lipid pools in tissue; however, the interpretation of results needs to be carried out by keeping the nonlinear interplay between the tissue of opto-thermo-physical properties and PT-OCT signals in mind.

This article describes the COVID19 effects on telehealth, which is becoming an integral part of medical treatment. In telehealth, healthcare personnel are required to follow the legislation which applies to more traditional medical encounters. We review the unique implementation of these legal requirements, in the novel digital setting. We further scrutinize the Ministry of Health's Director General's ordinance on telehealth, and related ethical rules. We focus on informed consent, medical confidentiality and privacy, documentation and liability. find protocol Finally, we raise the issue of artificial intelligence in telehealth and resulting future legal challenges.

Several significant visual changes can occur during human aging. These include decreased visual acuity and binocular function, contraction of visual fields, presbyopia, dry eye, decreased contrast sensitivity, decreased dark adaptation, delayed glare recovery, change in color vision and decreased visual processing speed. The most common physical changes are decreased pupil size, decreased retinal luminance, changes in inter- and intracellular connections, both intra-retinal and connections to the cortex .There are changes both in quantity and physical location of various cells, such as photoreceptors ganglion and bipolar retinal cells, as well as changes in clarity of media such as the crystalline lens, all of which in turn cause the resulting visual changes. Among adversely affected tasks are near work such as reading and computer work, driving, maneuvering through crowded or unfamiliar surroundings, locating desired objects surrounded by clutter and even decreased balance ability that may cause falling. Some of the changes can be reversed or at least slowed, but some processes cannot be stopped.
