    Abstract: Background: This study was aimed to evaluate the final results of surgical treatment (Latarjet procedure) in the recurrent anterior shoulder instability following episodes of tramadol-induced seizure. Methods: From January 2005 to March 2013, 47 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation after suffering a seizure episode following tramadol use underwent surgical procedure. There were 53 shoulders in 47 male patients (six had bilateral recurrent dislocations). The mean age of the patients at the time of operation was 24.7 years (ranging from 20 to 44 years). The average number of episodes of anterior shoulder dislocation before surgery was 16. Results: External rotation with the elbow at the side improved from 45.8 ± 9.3° (30°-60°) pre-operatively to 61.5 ± 7.8° (45°-90°) postoperatively (P 〈 0.001). Forward elevation also increased significantly post-operatively (P = 0.002). Mean pre-operative Rowe score was 28.41 ± 4.30 (30-85) which increased to 73.57 ± 8.40 post-operatively. The Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) score decreased from 1352 ± 74 to 618 ± 46 (P 〈 0.0001). Conclusion: Correcting glenoid bone loss by Latarjet procedure combined, if necessary, with humeral head defect reconstruction could be a proper treatment method in patients experiencing recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation after idiosyncratic seizure reaction of tramadol.

    Functional and Quality of Life Outcomes of Surgery for Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy: a Quality Improvement Study
    Knowledge E DMCC ; 2020

    In: Journal of Orthopedic and Spine Trauma, Knowledge E DMCC, ( 2020-06-07)
    Abstract: Background: This study aimed to determine the outcome of surgical treatments in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM). During one-year follow-up period, we evaluated patient-reported functional and quality of life (QOL) measures.   Methods: In a retrospective single-center study, we collected data of patients with DCM who underwent cervical fusion surgeries in Imam Khomeini Hospital, Tehran, Iran, from 2011 to 2015. Patients underwent single or multi-level anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF), or posterior laminectomy and fusion. We utilized patient-reported assessments including Short Form 36 (SF-36), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Neck Disability Index (NDI), and Nurick grade. Follow-up was performed at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-operatively to assess the outcome of surgery.   Results: Ninety patients (56 men, 34 women) with a mean age of 54.1 (27-87) years were included. Comparison of pre- and post-operative scores showed significant improvement in SF-36 parameters, VAS, NDI, and Nurick grade (P 〈 0.001). Also, women’s VAS scores improved more than men's VAS scores during the follow-up period (P 〈 0.050). Age and type of surgery did not significantly affect the SF-36 parameters, VAS, NDI, and Nurick grade (P 〉 0.05).   Conclusions: Cervical surgeries in patients with different severity of DCM can improve different aspects of QOL during one-year after surgery

    The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Hospitalization Rates due to Prosthetic Valve Thrombosis
    Knowledge E DMCC ; 2023

    In: The Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, Knowledge E DMCC, ( 2023-08-07)
    Abstract: Backgrounds: Studies have shown a decline in the admission rates of various diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a rare condition followed by surgical or transcatheter valvular interventions. Considering the lack of data on hospitalization rates due to PVT during the pandemic, this study evaluated the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on PVT admissions and characteristics in a tertiary referral center. Methods: Data from all the consecutive patients hospitalized due to PVT between February 2020 and February 2021 (the first year of the pandemic) were collected from medical records and compared clinically with the corresponding time before the pandemic (February 2019 through February 2020). Variables of interest included the number of hospitalization, patient and valve characteristics, diagnostic and management strategies, and in-hospital events. Results: Forty patients (32.5% male, age: 54.0 [46.5-62.0 y] comprised the study population. We observed a considerable decline in hospitalization rates during the pandemic, from 31 to 9 patients. Admitted patients were 8 years younger, had a higher proportion of the New York Heart Association functional class III or IV symptoms (44.4% vs 22.6%), were more often treated with fibrinolysis (33.3% vs 22.6%) or surgical approaches (33.3% vs 22.6%), and were discharged 6 days sooner. Conclusion: We described a reduction in PVT hospitalization. Patients presented with a higher proportion of severe dyspnea and had increased treatment with fibrinolysis/surgical approaches. These observations highlight the necessity of the active surveillance of patients with prosthetic valves by caregivers for timely diagnosis and appropriate management during the pandemic.
