The purpose of our study is to correlate nasal volume and cross-sectional area with
nasalance scores. We will measure nasal volume and cross-sectional area with acoustic
rhinometry. Nasalance scores will be determined by Nasometry.
Acoustic rhinometry is a means to study the volume and cross-sectional areas of the nasal
cavity in a non-invasive, rapid, convenient and re...

The purpose of this study is to compare arthroscopic and open shoulder stabilization
procedures by measuring the disease-specific quality of life outcome in patients with
traumatic unidirectional anterior instability of the shoulder at 2 and 5 years.
Hypothesis: There is no difference in disease-specific quality of life outcomes in patients
with traumatic unidirectional...

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) is a novel imaging technique for noninvasive probing
of biochemical properties of tissue. While MRS does not generate images of tumor per se it
allows biochemical spectroscopic data to be obtained in vivo from user defined
region-of-interest. In this manner, biochemical information elucidated by MRS can be
interpreted in relation t...

The goal of our study is to present important anatomic considerations which should be
considered before knee injection is performed. Additionally, we have developed important
procedural augments to the traditional para-patellar injection techniques in order to exceed
the accuracy and safety previously reported for the infra-patellar approaches We have
developed an injec...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the major cause of mortality and morbidity in both type
1 (T1D) and type 2 (T2D) diabetes patients; modifications of traditional CVD risk factors
have had a limited impact. This project called Regadenoson Blood flow in Type 1 Diabetes
(RABITD) and is proposed as a sub-study of the Coronary Artery Calcification in Type 1
Diabetes (CACT...

This study will evaluate the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guiding placement
of hollow needles into the prostate gland for delivering internal radiation therapy to
patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is often treated with a combination of
external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy (internal radiation delivered close to the
tumor). This stu...

Renal atherosclerotic stenosis (RAS) is a prevalent cause of secondary hypertension (HT).
Since there are still uncertainties as to whether and in what patients revascularization by
means of percutaneous renal angioplasty (PTRAS) should be pursued, we designed a study
exploiting an optimized patient selection strategy and using hard experimental endpoints to
unravel thes...

The trend is changed by a large number of low-cost computers, large-capacity computing
power, and the rapid advent of network bandwidth. From the Internet to the WWW to Web2.0,
the technology in addition brings impact on economic, social, and technological, but also on
medical education about knowledge delivery globally and learning patterns.
Currently, many scholars st...

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) is a condition causing numbness, tingling and weakness in
patient's upper limbs. Symptoms are due to compression and restriction of the nerves and
blood vessels (neurovascular bundle) that extend from the neck into the upper limb exerted
by a patient's various anatomical structures. Neurovascular bundle compression can result in
decreased n...
