    Case Report 63-Year-Old Male with Gastric Outlet Obstruction

    No full text
    We describe a case of a 63-year-old male with complicated Bouveret's syndrome, both in its presentation and in its management. Bouveret's syndrome is a rare cause of gastric outlet obstruction resulting from mechanical obstruction from gallstones at the pyloroduodenal segment. As Bouveret's syndrome can be a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge for clinicians, we aim to identify clinical and radiologic pearls that can lower the threshold for the diagnosis of Bouveret's syndrome

    What have animals taught us about total joint arthroplasty?: A review of the literature

    Animal models for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) have been reported on extensively in the literature. This work seeks to objectively review the most relevant and recent studies performed using these models, and to provide insight into the strengths and weaknesses of each. The terms joint arthroplasty and animal model were searched on Pubmed on March 1, 2015. Animal models included bovine, canine, ovine, goat, rat, and rabbit. Much of the work in animal models for TJA has focused on the biologic response to novel materials, biologics, and surgical techniques; as interest grows the use of animal models may increase
