THE OPEN-BOOK TECHNIQUE WITH SLICED BICEPS TENDON AUTOGRAFT AUGMENTATION IN THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SUBSCAPULARIS IN SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY

The Open-Book Technique With Sliced Biceps Tendon Autograft Augmentation in the Reconstruction of the Subscapularis in Shoulder Arthroplasty

Postoperative insufficiency of the subscapularis can diminish clinical outcome after shoulder arthroplasty.Poor tendon tissue quality and prior surgery can impair the possibility of reconstruction and healing, as well as the postoperative range of motion and strength.Patch augmentation has been investigated for soft tissue augmentation in the gleno

SPINA Carb: a simple mathematical model supporting fast in-vivo estimation of insulin sensitivity and beta cell function

Abstract Modelling insulin-glucose homeostasis may provide novel functional insights.In particular, simple models are clinically useful if they yield diagnostic methods.Examples include the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI).However, limitations of these approaches have been criticised.
