This study evaluated the outcome and recurrence rates after hydrodilatation (HD) in patients with frozen shoulder (FS), comparing the effects of injecting 25 mL or more of fluid versus lower volumes. A total of 132 shoulders (130 patients) were treated at a shoulder clinic between August 2019 and February 2023. HD was performed under ultrasound guidance, injecting a combination of 40 mg Triamcinolone, 10 mL of local anaesthetic, and saline to a total volume of 10 to 40 mL based on patient tolerance. The results were analysed based on the volume of fluid injected and whether patients were diabetic. The overall failure or recurrence rate (FRR) was 24% after a minimum of 1 year. Non-diabetic patients injected with ≥25 mL had a significantly lower FRR (9%) compared to those injected with <25 mL (30%, p = 0.006). Diabetic patients had a much higher FRR of 52%, compared to 17% in non-diabetics (p = 0.0002). The study concluded that injecting patients with ≥25 mL of fluid had a significantly lower FRR than those injected with <25 mL at a minimum of 12 months follow-up (9% vs 30%, p = 0.006). Diabetic patients experienced a higher rate of recurrence, suggesting the need for patient counselling about the increased likelihood of failure.

Der multiperspektivische Beitrag analysiert mit einem intersektionalen und qualitativen Ansatz diskriminierende Begriffe, Auslassungen und implizit abwertende Strukturen bibliothekarischer Klassifikationen des Globalen Nordens. Am Beispiel der Regensburger Verbundklassifikation (RVK) werden rassistische und sexistische Schnitt- sowie Leerstellen in der Repräsentation queerer Lebens-, Liebes- und Lustentwürfe aufgezeigt. Mögliche Lösungen unter Einbeziehung der Communitys runden den Beitrag ab.

The majority of pictures taken in the dental surgery are intra-oral and this article looks at the practicalities involved in full-arch, quadrant occlusal, lingual (or palatal) and lateral views, as well as magnified images, oral mucosa, enamel texture, dentine strata and shade analysis for artificial restorations. Additionally, the issue of cross-infection control is considered.

Once the appropriate camera and equipment have been purchased, the next considerations involve setting up and calibrating the equipment. This article provides details regarding depth of field, exposure, colour spaces and white balance calibration, concluding with a synopsis of camera settings for a standard dental set-up.

The purpose of this series is to convey the principles governing our aesthetic senses. Usually meaning visual perception, aesthetics is not merely limited to the ocular apparatus. The concept of aesthetics encompasses both the time-arts such as music, theatre, literature and film, as well as space-arts such as paintings, sculpture and architecture.

A survey was conducted of all general practitioners on the Family Health Service Authority List in Wiltshire and of the deans of all medical schools in the United Kingdom. The results are presented. The findings indicate that the teaching of musculoskeletal medicine is not adequate.

SUMMARY: The intracellular concentrations of 14C-streptomycin accumulated by Escherichia coli strain B during growth in the presence of different extracellular concentrations of the compound have been measured. They increased logarithmically with time at rates proportional to the logarithm of the extracellular concentration; the growth rates declined linearly with time at rates which were also proportional to the extracellular concentrations. Thus the same decrease in growth rate resulted from different intracellular concentrations of streptomycin, according to the conditions of uptake. After removal of extracellular streptomycin, the growth rates remained constant for several hours, during which time 40-60% of the total cell-bound radioactivity was lost. Of the radioactivity lost from the organisms during growth after removal of extracellular streptomycin, 50-80% was recovered from culture filtrates but did not behave as streptomycin with respect to adsorption to charcoal.
