Background: Onychocryptosis is one of the most prevailing onychopathies and one of the usual reasons for visiting podiatry clinics. In this research, we aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a procedure of nail reeducation technique via a strip of polyethylene in subjects with stage I or IIa onychocryptosis, in which pathological toenail curves are present. Methods: This research was a randomized clinical trial (ACTRN12615000834550). The sample was made up of 94 cases of stage I or IIa onychocryptosis, according to the Mozena classification. Briefly, 46 cases were treated with the combination of a spicule technique and nail brace with a polyethylene plastic strip, and 48 were only treated with the spicule technique. Results: The combination of the spicule technique and the nail brace technique with a strip of polyethylene had a significantly lower recurrence rate compared to that achieved with just the spicule technique, twelve months after the beginning of the study (N.S. = 0.000 for α = 0.05). The change in the nail width achieved with the nail brace technique, twelve months after the beginning of the study, was statistically significant (N.S. = 0.000 for α = 0.05). Conclusions: The recurrence rate of the spicule technique alone was significantly higher than the combined technique of spicule with nail brace. A nail brace with a strip of polyethylene reduces the recurrence rate of onychocryptosis.

Abstract Purpose To analyze the co-expression of the intermediate filaments GFAP and cytokeratin in 326 pituitary adenomas with regard to the distribution pattern, the subtype of the adenoma and clinical prognostic data. Methods Tissue from 326 pituitary adenomas and 13 normal anterior pituitaries collected in the Institute of Neuropathology, University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, between 2006 and 2009 was investigated by immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and electron microscopy. Results Co-expression of intermediate filaments GFAP and cytokeratin was associated with hormone expression in 62/278 cases (22%), but only found in 2/48 (4%) of null cell adenomas (p < 0.01). Simultaneous co-expression of GFAP and cytokeratin in the same cells was demonstrated in 26 out of 326 pituitary adenomas and in all 13 pituitaries. In pituitary intermediate filaments were demonstrated in a larger area of the cytoplasm than in adenoma (p < 0.01), however, overlapping expression was seen in 2.6% of the total area in both, pituitary and adenoma. Congenially, cells with overlapping expression were found near vessels and in follicles. Furthermore, adenomas with cellular co-expression of GFAP and cytokeratin were associated with a lower recurrence rate (7.7%) compared to adenomas without co-expression of intermediate filaments (17.8%). Conclusions Cellular co-expression of the intermediate filaments GFAP and cytokeratin in pituitary adenomas and the pituitary was demonstrated and shown to be associated with hormone expression and low recurrence rate. The results are discussed with regard to the biology of folliculostellate cells, neural transformation and tumor stem cells. This study may complement the understanding of pituitary adenoma biology.

Background This study directly compares the recurrence rates of dorsal wrist ganglion cysts in patients treated via open surgical excision versus arthroscopic surgical excision. We hypothesized that there would be no difference between recurrence rates with these 2 surgical options. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the charts of all patients with a dorsal ganglion cyst undergoing either open or arthroscopic surgical excision at a single academic center with 3 fellowship-trained attending hand surgeons from 2012 to 2017. Charts were identified using Current Procedural Terminology codes and were reviewed using postoperative office notes for preoperative and postoperative symptoms, episodes of recurrence, time at which recurrence occurred, subsequent operations, and outcome at final follow-up. Results The charts of 172 patients undergoing either arthroscopic or open dorsal ganglion excision were reviewed. Nine of 54 (16.7%) arthroscopic excisions resulted in cyst recurrence, while 8 of 118 (6.8%) open excisions resulted in cyst recurrence ( P = .044). Two of 9 (22%) recurrences after arthroscopic ganglion excision versus 2 of 8 (25%) recurrences after open ganglion excision underwent repeat surgical intervention. Time to recurrence, as well as final follow-up, was not statistically different between groups. Conclusions Dorsal wrist ganglion cysts are the most common benign soft tissue mass of the upper extremity, but it remains unknown whether arthroscopic or open surgical excision leads to lower recurrence rate. Scant literature exists directly comparing these 2 methods of surgical excision. This study suggests that open excision of dorsal wrist ganglia leads to a lower recurrence rate than does arthroscopic excision.

Fifty-five female patients aged 12 to 76 years were found to have a significant urinary tract infection on culture of 2 or more consecutive mid-stream specimens of urine (i.e. over 100,000 organisms/ml.). Ninety per cent were due to Escherichia coli and 50 per cent were asymptomatic. A comparative study of the value of 4 regimes (alkali alone, sulphonamide plus alkali, streptomycin plus alkali, nitrofurantoin) in eradicating the initial infection and on the recurrence rate was carried out. Alkali alone had no effect on bacteriuria, nitrofurantoin had a 100 per cent 5-day sterility rate, while sulphonamide and streptomycin had 85 and 88 per cent 5-day sterility rates respectively, differences which are not statistically significant. All of the failures had E. coli infections, none had pyelographic evidence of pyelonephritis or had an elevated blood urea, and only 2 had an antibody titre against the infecting organism over 1/320. There was an overall recurrence rate, mainly due to re-infection, of 53 per cent within the first 6 months. Sulphonamide therapy seemed associated with a lower recurrence rate than nitrofurantoin or streptomycin but the numbers involved are too small to allow statistical evaluation.

Abstract Background The recurrence rate of classic surgery for anal fistula has always been one of the troublesome problems. The purpose of this study was to mainly compare the recurrence rate between classic surgery (fistulectomy or seton) and proximal anal sinus resection (PASR) in case-control study.Methods 106 patients who suffered from anal fistula were taken into classic surgery group (n=74) and PASR group (n=32), Then we analyzed the recurrence rate, wound healing time, surgical complications, and duration of the pain.Results There was a significant difference in the recurrence rate between classic surgery group and PASR group (16.2% vs 0%). The duration of pain, mean healing time and surgical complications in the two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05).Conclusion PASR had shown lower recurrence rate and did not increase the risk of complications, and could be considered as a first line of treatment for patients at risk of recurring for anal fistula.
