Sutter metacarpophalangeal arthroplasty in rheumatoid patients
No full textAbstractSwanson silastic arthroplasty, introduced by Alfred Swanson in the late sixties, has long been the treatment of choice for metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroplasty in cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Silastic implant arthroplasty has a significant role in the reconstruction of eroded MCP joints, but the method does not recreate a normal MCP joint. The Sutter implant has been designed to improve the function of the MCP joint, and especially to reduce the extension deficit. There are numerous studies concerning the Swanson implant, but limited number of previous articles on the use of the Sutter implant. The aim of this thesis was to determine the outcome of MCP arthroplasty with the Sutter implant in patients with inflammatory joint disease. This thesis is based on two studies concerning Sutter implant arthroplasty in patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. One of these was a prospective study performed at Oulu University Hospital in which patients were randomised into Swanson and Sutter implant groups representing 49 hands and 174 implants, with a mean follow up time of 4.8 years, and the other was a prospective study performed at the Rheumatism Foundation Hospital in Heinola in which Sutter implant arthroplasty was carried out on 117 hands employing 350 implants, with a mean follow-up time of 5.3 years.The main results were that arthroplasty yields similar results with both of these implants with respect to clinical parameters such as range of motion, ulnar deviation, grip strength and pain. Furthermore, the revision rate in our Sutter follow-up study was high, and survival, with revision surgery as the end point, was poor. We created a new radiographic grading system for bone resorption, i.e. osteolysis, in MCP arthroplasty and found this to be more severe after Sutter than Swanson implant arthroplasty, for some unknown reason. Moreover, we found that osteolysis was symptom-free but related to implant fractures.As a conclusion silicone implant arthroplasty should be used only with rheumatoid patients with advanced destruction. High implant fracture rates and high amounts of osteolytic changes in radiographs are not favourable for the use of the Sutter implant. If continuous development of new prostheses achieves implant with as good clinical outcome and reasonable costs as Swanson implant, the use of the silicone implants will be questionable.Academic dissertation to be presented, with the assent of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Oulu, for public defence in the Lecture Hall of Töölö Hospital, Department of Orthopaedics, Helsinki University Hospital(Topeliuksenkatu 5), on May 18th, 2007, at 12 noonAbstract
Swanson silastic arthroplasty, introduced by Alfred Swanson in the late sixties, has long been the treatment of choice for metacarpophalangeal (MCP) arthroplasty in cases of rheumatoid arthritis. Silastic implant arthroplasty has a significant role in the reconstruction of eroded MCP joints, but the method does not recreate a normal MCP joint. The Sutter implant has been designed to improve the function of the MCP joint, and especially to reduce the extension deficit. There are numerous studies concerning the Swanson implant, but limited number of previous articles on the use of the Sutter implant. The aim of this thesis was to determine the outcome of MCP arthroplasty with the Sutter implant in patients with inflammatory joint disease.
This thesis is based on two studies concerning Sutter implant arthroplasty in patients with advanced rheumatoid arthritis. One of these was a prospective study performed at Oulu University Hospital in which patients were randomised into Swanson and Sutter implant groups representing 49 hands and 174 implants, with a mean follow up time of 4.8 years, and the other was a prospective study performed at the Rheumatism Foundation Hospital in Heinola in which Sutter implant arthroplasty was carried out on 117 hands employing 350 implants, with a mean follow-up time of 5.3 years.
The main results were that arthroplasty yields similar results with both of these implants with respect to clinical parameters such as range of motion, ulnar deviation, grip strength and pain. Furthermore, the revision rate in our Sutter follow-up study was high, and survival, with revision surgery as the end point, was poor. We created a new radiographic grading system for bone resorption, i.e. osteolysis, in MCP arthroplasty and found this to be more severe after Sutter than Swanson implant arthroplasty, for some unknown reason. Moreover, we found that osteolysis was symptom-free but related to implant fractures.
As a conclusion silicone implant arthroplasty should be used only with rheumatoid patients with advanced destruction. High implant fracture rates and high amounts of osteolytic changes in radiographs are not favourable for the use of the Sutter implant. If continuous development of new prostheses achieves implant with as good clinical outcome and reasonable costs as Swanson implant, the use of the silicone implants will be questionable

MeSH term explosion and author rank improve expert recommendations
No full textInformation overload is an often-cited phenomenon that reduces the productivity, efficiency and efficacy of scientists. One challenge for scientists is to find appropriate collaborators in their research. The literature describes various solutions to the problem of expertise location, but most current approaches do not appear to be very suitable for expert recommendations in biomedical research. In this study, we present the development and initial evaluation of a vector space model-based algorithm to calculate researcher similarity using four inputs: 1) MeSH terms of publications; 2) MeSH terms and author rank; 3) exploded MeSH terms; and 4) exploded MeSH terms and author rank. We developed and evaluated the algorithm using a data set of 17,525 authors and their 22,542 papers. On average, our algorithms correctly predicted 2.5 of the top 5/10 coauthors of individual scientists. Exploded MeSH and author rank outperformed all other algorithms in accuracy, followed closely by MeSH and author rank. Our results show that the accuracy of MeSH term-based matching can be enhanced with other metadata such as author rank

No full textmanuscript letter, 1 sheet folded to 3 pagesHandwritten letter from the Post Master of Sutter Creek to his mother. The author writes about their business running a public house and store, and suggests that he could use some help with the business. Documentation with the letter suggests that the author is "D. Curdell" however, it is possible that the author is Dwight Crandall (1827-1865) who had a wife named Mary Jane and siblings named Welch and Giles (those names are mentioned in the letter)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
