Facilitated Transport01:19

Facilitated Transport

148.7K
The chemical and physical properties of plasma membranes cause them to be selectively permeable. Since plasma membranes have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions, substances need to be able to transverse both regions. The hydrophobic area of membranes repels substances such as charged ions. Therefore, such substances need special membrane proteins to cross a membrane successfully. In  facilitated transport, also known as facilitated diffusion, molecules and ions travel across a...

Social Facilitation

Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Facilitated Diffusion01:16

Facilitated Diffusion

1.3K
The plasma membrane, a critical structure in cellular biology, houses an array of transporters, or carrier proteins, interspersed within its lipid bilayer. These proteins play a crucial role in solute transport through facilitated diffusion, a form of passive diffusion that uses transporters to move the molecules across the membrane.
In this process, substrates such as organic compounds and ions interact with a transporter on one side, triggering conformational changes in proteins that enable...

Energy-releasing Steps of Glycolysis01:28

Energy-releasing Steps of Glycolysis

146.9K
Glycolysis is divided into two phases based on whether energy is utilized or released. While the first phase consumes ATP, the second phase produces energy in the form of ATP and NADH. The energy is released over a sequence of reactions that turns G3P into pyruvate. The energy-releasing phase—steps 6-10 of glycolysis—occurs twice, once for each of the two 3-carbon sugars produced during steps 1-5 of the first phase.
The first energy-releasing step—the 6th step of glycolysis...

ATP Energy Storage and Release01:31

ATP Energy Storage and Release

14.4K
ATP is a highly unstable molecule. Unless quickly used to perform work, ATP spontaneously dissociates into ADP and inorganic phosphate (Pi), and the free energy released during this process is lost as heat. The energy released by ATP hydrolysis is used to perform work inside the cell and depends on a strategy called energy coupling. Cells couple the exergonic reaction of ATP hydrolysis with endergonic reactions, allowing them to proceed.
One example of energy coupling using ATP involves a...

Summary

The olecranon osteotomy-facilitated elbow release (OFER) offers a safe and effective surgical option for severe posttraumatic elbow contractures. This posterior approach provides superior outcomes and is less invasive than traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Elbow Reconstruction

Background:

  • Severe posttraumatic elbow contractures often require surgical intervention when conservative treatments fail.
  • Traditional open and arthroscopic techniques have limitations in addressing all causes of contracture and may lead to complications.
  • The olecranon osteotomy-facilitated elbow release (OFER) presents a novel posterior approach for elbow contracture release.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the olecranon osteotomy-facilitated elbow release (OFER) for severe posttraumatic elbow contractures.
  • To compare the outcomes of OFER with traditional surgical techniques.
  • To highlight the technical advantages and potential benefits of the OFER procedure.

Main Methods:

  • The OFER procedure involves an olecranon osteotomy, creating a trapdoor for circumferential joint access.
  • Medial collateral ligament (MCL) origin detachment allows access to the anterior compartment, hinging the joint around the lateral collateral ligament.
  • Repair of the olecranon and MCL ensures elbow stability for immediate rehabilitation.

Main Results:

  • The OFER procedure provides circumferential access to address intrinsic and extrinsic causes of elbow contracture.
  • Outcomes following OFER are reported to be superior compared to arthroscopic or conventional open procedures.
  • The OFER technique is considered easier, faster, and less invasive, potentially simplifying rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • Olecranon osteotomy-facilitated elbow release (OFER) is a safe and effective surgical option for severe posttraumatic elbow contractures.
  • The posterior approach facilitated by OFER offers superior outcomes and is less invasive than traditional methods.
  • OFER allows for comprehensive joint access, addressing all contracture causes and facilitating intensive rehabilitation.
