Shoulder and Elbow Injury Possibility in Youth Players Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT Pitching speed, player's height, and pitching for multiple teams may correlate with a history of shoulder and elbow injuries, according to new research.

Young athletes at greater risk for re-injury after ACL surgery Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT One in three young athletes who undergo ACL surgery experiences re-injury, according to new research. The study examined the long term success of surgery for patients aged 18 years and younger.

New way to evaluate meniscus tear outcomes Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT An individual's meniscus (cushion in the knee) is one of the most important ligaments in the leg providing stability, load bearing and preservation of the knee joint. It is also one of the most easily injured areas and difficult to fully heal. Researchers utilized MRI data to determine the potential for biologic healing following a meniscus tear.

Pain injections for hip arthroscopy patients may not predict surgical outcomes Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT How best to treat and recover from complicated hip injuries is a growing field in orthopaedic medicine. While diagnostic hip injections are commonly performed for patients with labral tear to confirm the pain etiology, new research suggests that pain relief from this diagnostic injection may not predict better outcomes following arthroscopic hip surgery.

No need to delay rotator cuff surgery, study shows Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT Delaying rotator cuff surgery on patients with shoulder stiffness may not be necessary, according to new research.

For Type V AC Joint Injuries, Early Surgery May Not Be the Best Approach Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT Early surgery may not be the best treatment option for patients with Type V AC joint injuries, according to new research. Medical researchers showed military personnel returned to duty faster when surgery was not performed.

Immunotherapy delays recurrence for stage III and IV ovarian cancers Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT Personalized medicine is getting closer to reality for women with late-stage ovarian cancer. An experimental immunotherapy is in the works that can target an individual woman's tumor and extend the time period between initial treatment and the cancer's return.

Women with ovarian cancer gain extra months with addition of drug to standard chemotherapy Posted: 28 Mar 2015 07:24 AM PDT Overall survival for women who received standard chemotherapy treatment plus bevacizumab was a median five months longer than for women who received the standard chemotherapy treatment alone.

Precocious GEM: Shape-shifting sensor can report conditions from deep in the body Posted: 27 Mar 2015 05:17 PM PDT Scientists have devised and demonstrated a new, shape-shifting probe, about one-hundredth as wide as a human hair, which is capable of sensitive, high-resolution remote biological sensing that is not possible with current technology. If eventually put into widespread use, the design could have a major impact on research in medicine, chemistry, biology and engineering. Ultimately, it might be used in clinical diagnostics.
