Zone 2 5th Metatarsal Fractures Treated Nonoperatively Have Similar Time to Healing to Those Treated Operatively

Category: Midfoot/Forefoot; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify the time to clinical and radiographic healing in Zone 2 proximal 5th metatarsal (MT) fractures and to compare these outcomes to those of Zone 2 fractures treated operatively. Methods: A retrospective cohort study of all Zone 2 metatarsal fractures seen at a single large, urban, academic medical center between December 2012 and April 2022 was performed. Zone 2 injuries were defined as fractures entering the proximal 4-5 MT articulation on the oblique radiographic view. Clinical healing was characterized by the return to baseline ambulatory function without discomfort and a lack of tenderness on physical examination. Radiographic healing was defined as complete osseous consolidation. A total of 374 patients with Zone 2 proximal 5th MT fractures were included in the analysis. The mean age of patients was 53.8 +/- 16.6 years, and 74.3% were female. Results: 93.3% of patients with Zone 2 metatarsal fractures were treated nonoperatively. In the nonoperative group, 6.6% experienced delayed bony union with incomplete radiographic healing after 6 months, compared to 16.0% of the operative group (p = 0.095). However, by 1 year post-injury, 98.9% of patients who underwent nonoperative management and 96.0% of operative patients demonstrated radiographic union. Two patients failed nonoperative management and underwent operative fixation for symptomatic nonunions. There was no difference in time to radiographic healing between patients treated nonoperatively and those treated operatively (4.4 +/- 2.8 months vs 5.4 +/- 4.7 months, p = 0.413). Similarly, there was no difference in time to clinical healing between both groups (2.3 +/- 1.9 months vs 2.6 +/- 3.8 months, p = 0.723). Conclusion: Zone 2 5th metatarsal base fractures, which are often incorrectly referred to as Jones fractures despite being proximal to the fractures originally characterized by Jones, can be successfully treated with nonoperative management. There is no evidence that operative treatment leads to significantly faster clinical or radiographic healing for patients.

The price of being single: An explorative study of the disadvantages of singlehood

Being single that is, not having an intimate partner, is a common state in contemporary post-industrial societies. Singlehood has advantages but also disadvantages that the current research aimed to examine. More specifically, Study 1 employed qualitative research methods on a sample of 238 Greek-speaking participants, and identified 78 possible disadvantages of being single. Studies 2 and 3 employed quantitative research methods on a sample of 1115 (NStudy 1 = 592, NStudy 2 = 523) Greek-speaking participants, and classified these disadvantages into 10 distinct categories. Participants rated the “Lack of regular and safe sex,” the “Lack of tenderness and love,” and the “Lack of someone to motivate me to improve myself” to be the most important disadvantages of singlehood. Other important disadvantages included, the “Lack of support,” the “Negative emotions,” and the “Not having someone to do things together.” Moreover, we found that female participants rated the lack of support to be a more important disadvantage than male participants. We also found that, participants who had stronger social support, discounted the disadvantages of singlehood more than participants who had weaker social support. Additionally, participants who considered singlehood as more costly, exercised more mating effort than participants who considered it less costly.

Introduction Temporomandibular joint dysfunctions present with a variety of symptoms that comprise pain in the joint and its surroundings, jaw clicking, limited jaw opening or locking and headaches. The management of chr-onic temporomandibular joint dysfunction may be defined as simple or complex. The preference of the treatment, based on the aetiology, may be char acterized as psychosomatic or operational. Conservative treatment is helpful in most cases. This up-todate review focuses on the pathogenesis and management of this multifactor ial clinical entity. Conclusion Chronic TMD is a complex clinical condition of yet unknown pathogenesis. Further research is required to investigate the aetiological patterns. On examination, the most common features are tenderness upon palpation of the joint or muscles of mastication, diminished mouth opening, side-to-side movement and clicking or grating sounds in the joint upon movements of the mandible 4,5 . Lack of tenderness in the external auditory canal could be an additional diagnostic feature of the pain syndrome 4 . An acute episode of pain generally has a sudden onset due to local tissue inflammation and it usually resolves within 4–12 weeks 6 . The conversion from acute to chronic pain may result from the body’s inability to restore normal physiological function 7,8 . Historically, there have been several TMD classifications emphasizing either mechanical or psychological concepts. Classifying TMD has been a difficult task and several suggestions exist in the literature. One of the oldest classification systems distinguishes two categories of TMJ pain: (a) masticatory pain (musclerelated) and (b) TMJ arthralgia (jointrelated). The former is subdivided into splinting, spastic and inflammatory pain while the latter into discal, retrodiscal, capsular and arthropathic pain 9,10 . Later, TMJ non-arthritic arthralgia was re-classified as a deep somatic pain of disc attachment 11 .

Calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff showing a contracted state of abduction: A report of four cases

This report describes four patients with calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff that resulted in an abduction contracture. Similarities included an acute onset, lack of tenderness in the shoulder, x-ray demonstration of large calcific deposits in the supraspinatus tendon, and the radiographic appearance of the greater tuberosity under the acromion. The abduction contracture is presumably caused by mechanical blocking by the calcified deposits and the coracoacromial arch and by reflex muscle spasm caused by pain.

Construction and constriction in agoraphobia.

A formulation of agoraphobia is presented in personal construct theory terms. It is hypothesized that the construing of agoraphobics and their spouses is characterized by low cognitive awareness of constructs concerning interpersonal conflict and lack of tenderness; by dilemmas in which the ability to go out implies possible infidelity; and by low self-esteem in the agoraphobic and high self-esteem in their spouse. Evidence in support of these hypotheses is provided by a repertory grid study comparing agoraphobics, non-agoraphobic neurotics, spouses of both client groups, and normal subjects. Features of construing of agoraphobic and spouse are shown to be predictive of the agoraphobic's response to behaviour therapy, and therapeutic improvement to be associated with some reconstruction in the above areas. The role of mutual validation of constructions between agoraphobic and spouse in the maintenance of agoraphobic behaviour is discussed, as are implications for the treatment of agoraphobia.

ON THE RELATION BETWEEN THE VIEWER'S ATTITUDES TO TELEVISION PROGRAMS AND THEIR OPINIONS ON CRIMES: THE CASE OF JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Research in the relation between the viewers' attitudes to television programs and their opinions on crimes was carried out by means of questionnaires. The subjects were 744 junior and senior high school students from 12 to 18 years of age. The results were as follows:(a) Those who like police-thriller programs find various causes in the occurrence of crimes, and devise various counterplans.(b) Those who like police-thriller programs, historical dramas, and sports programs are inclined to find the causes of crimes in ‘the characters of criminal themselves’, but those who like culture programs, family dramas for young people, and popular song programs maintain that the causes of crimes are ‘environmental’ .(c) Those who like historical dramas, comic plays, sports programs, and family dramas for young people are inclined to expect ‘measures by athird party’ as conterplans to crimes, but those who like culture programs count on ‘self-knowledge’ of those concerned.(d) Through factor analysis, 11 actors, or special qualities, of images of criminals were found, and each of them was named as follows: wretched conditions of life, strange looks and dresses, lack of tenderness, weakness of will, simplicity, ostentatious behaviors, disappointment and deep grief, abnormal mind, restlessness, gloomy and reserved perverseness, and impudence. The more important among them are disappointment and deep grief, wretched conditions of life, strange looks and dresses, weakness of will, and gloomy and reserved perverseness.(e) Those who like police-thriller programs have the most varied images of criminals, but those who like sports programs, culture programs, and comic plays have the poorest images of them.(f) It can safely be said that police-thriller programs have various effects on viewers in forming the images of criminals and forming opinions on the causes of, and the counterplans to, crimes.

The Effects of Time Interval between Slaughter and Freezing on Toughness of Fryers

ABSTRACT MOST fryers become relatively tender when cooked. There are times, however, when an individual bird or an entire lot becomes tough and rubbery. Such birds are frequently found in frozen lots and are considered undesirable by consumers. The incidence of tough poultry has increased with improvements in speed and efficiency in processing plants, and with the increased use of low temperature blast freezers. This may indicate that sufficient time is not always allowed for cooling prior to freezing. Tenderness of chicken muscle is affected by a number of factors. One of the major factors is the extent of aging of the carcass after slaughter and prior to freezing. Lack of tenderness, frequently called “toughness” of the meat, is connected primarily with muscle fibers, and the biophysical changes which take place following slaughter. Immediately after slaughter, the pliable yet viscous muscle fibers of the living animal pass into a state of . . .
