RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: The effect of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment on recovery in acute hamstring injuries is controversial. Previous study results are inconsistent, and a standardized therapeutic approach has not been established yet. PURPOSE: To assess the treatment effect using a combination of hematoma aspiration and muscle strain PRP injection in partial hamstring muscle tears (grade 2 strains) in athletes. METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging of athletes with grade 2 hamstring strains were reviewed from 2013 to 2018. From 2013 to 2015, athletes were treated conservatively, and from 2016 to 2018, with a combination of ultrasound-guided hematoma aspiration and PRP muscle strain injection. The outcome, including return-to-play (in days) and recurrence rate, was compared retrospectively between both groups (conservative vs aspiration/PRP) using ANOVA and Fisher's exact test. There was no significant difference in age, type of sport, and muscle involvement (including injury grade/location, hamstring muscle type, and length/cross-sectional area of the strain). RESULTS: Fifty-five athletes (28 treated conservatively, 27 with hematoma aspiration/PRP injection) were included. Average return-to-play time (mean) was 32.4 d in the conservative group and 23.5 d in the aspiration/PRP group (P < 0.001). Recurrence rate of the hamstring strain was 28.6% (8/28) in the conservative treatment group and less than 4% (1/27) in the aspiration/PRP group (P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS: Athletes with grade 2 hamstring strains treated with a combination of hematoma aspiration and PRP injection had a significantly shorter return-to-play and a lower recurrence rate compared with athletes receiving conservative treatment.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Convergence insufficiency (CI) is a common entity but seems to be an ill-defined diagnosis that incorporates many near-vision symptoms. The current literature often varies in its criteria for diagnosis. Without a clear definition and standardization of the clinical examination, there is the potential for misdiagnosis and/or the inclusion of other diagnoses as CI. The purpose of this study was to assess the uniformity of diagnostic criteria in a well-defined practice environment. METHODS: The medical records of individuals diagnosed with CI between June 2007 and November 2014 who were patients of 6 fellowship-trained strabismologists in private practices and at Wills Eye Hospital clinics were reviewed retrospectively. Exclusion criteria included any previous treatments for CI, prior strabismus surgery, or other causes for strabismus, including cranial nerve palsies. The following data were collected: age, sex, race, age at diagnosis, past medical and family history, relevant symptoms, visual acuity, near point of convergence (NPC), strabismus measurements, and fusional amplitudes at distance with base-out and base-in prisms. RESULTS: A total of 387 patients fit our inclusion criteria and were analyzed in our study. There was no uniformity across clinicians in the clinical evaluation and diagnosis of patients with CI. The amplitude of the NPC was highly variable, and most clinicians did not assess the quality of the convergence movement or perform convergence fusional amplitude testing in making the diagnosis of CI. CONCLUSIONS: Our review has demonstrated the range of criteria within one group of practitioners to diagnose CI. This may reflect our current understanding and the need for an evidence-based definition of the disease and its diagnosis.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the personalized rate of uveal melanoma-related metastasis on the basis of individual tumor cytogenetic profile. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1059 patients with uveal melanoma. METHODS: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) for DNA amplification and whole genome array-based assay were performed for analysis of chromosomes 3, 6, and 8. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Melanoma-related metastasis. RESULTS: The mean patient age was 57 years, and most were white (1026/1059, 97%). The melanoma involved the choroid (938/1059, 89%), ciliary body (85/1059, 8%), or iris (36/1059, 3%), with 19% being macular in location. The mean largest basal diameter was 11 mm (median, 12 mm; range, 3-24 mm), and mean thickness was 5 mm (median, 4 mm; range, 1-20 mm). On the basis of individual chromosomal mutations, risk for metastasis was increased for chromosome 3 partial monosomy (hazard ratio [HR], 2.84; P = 0.001), 3 complete monosomy (HR, 6.7, P < 0.001), 6q loss (HR, 3.1, P = 0.003), 8p loss (HR, 21.5, P < 0.001), and 8q gain (HR, 9.8, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier estimate for melanoma-related metastasis in 1, 3, 5, and 7 years for 3 partial monosomy was 1%, 5%, 14%, and 17%; for 3 complete monosomy was 3%, 19%, 28%, and 37%; for 6q loss was 8%, 23%, 49%, and 49%; for 8p loss was 8%, 29%, not estimable (NE), and NE; and for 8q gain was 6%, 21%, 35%, 48%, respectively. On the basis of personalized cytogenetic profiles, Kaplan-Meier estimates (1, 3, and 5 years) for melanoma-related metastasis for 3, 6, and 8 disomy (1%, 1%, 4% [HR, 1]) were low compared with the higher-risk combinations of 3 complete monosomy, 6p gain, and 8q gain (0%, 29%, 29% [HR, 10.6, P = 0.02]); 3 complete monosomy, 6 disomy, 8q gain, and 8p gain (14%, 14%, NE [HR, 18.3, P = 0.02]); 3 complete monosomy, 6 disomy, and 8q gain (8%, 27%, 39% [HR, 19.5, P < 0.001]); and 3 complete monosomy, 6 disomy, 8q gain, and 8p loss (3%, 28%, NE [HR, 31.6, P < 0.001]), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Risk for melanoma-related metastasis strongly correlates with personalized cytogenetic profiles, with 5-year Kaplan-Meier estimates ranging from 4% with chromosomes 3, 6, and 8 disomy up to 39% for 3 complete monosomy, 6 disomy, and 8q gain.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To determine the risks for altered cytogenetic profile based on melanoma features and size. DESIGN: Retrospective case series. PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1059 patients with uveal melanoma. METHODS: Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of tumor for DNA amplification and whole genome array-based assay. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Risk for cytogenetic abnormalities based on features and size: small (≤3 mm thickness), medium (>3-<8 mm), and large (≥8 mm). RESULTS: Of 1059 patients with uveal melanoma sampled for status of chromosomes 3, 6, and 8, comparison (normal [disomy] chromosomes 3, 6, and 8 vs. any 3, 6, or 8 abnormality) revealed differences in mean age (55 vs. 58 years, P = 0.018), ocular melanocytosis (1% vs. 5%, P = 0.027), mean visual acuity (VA) (20/30 vs. 20/50, P = 0.011), poor VA (≤20/200) (9% vs. 15%, P = 0.041), ciliary body location (5% vs. 11%, P < 0.001), extramacular location (73% vs. 87%, P < 0.001), increased mean distance to optic disc (3.3 vs. 5.0 mm, P < 0.001) and foveola (3.1 vs. 4.7 mm, P < 0.001), and increased mean basal diameter (9.8 vs. 12.6 mm, P < 0.001) and thickness (3.8 vs. 5.9 mm, P < 0.001). Tumors classified as small, medium, and large showed abnormalities with loss of disomy of chromosomes 3 (35%/52%/65%), 6 (15%/34%/51%), and 8 (19%/41%/69%), respectively. By comparison (medium/large vs. small melanoma), the odds ratio (OR) included complete monosomy 3 (3.09, P < 0.001), partial monosomy 3 (1.44, P = 0.053), 6p gain (3.78, P < 0.001), 6q gain (1.37, P = 0.537), 6p loss (2.52, P = 0.410), 6q loss (12.61, P < 0.001), 8p gain (6.16, P < 0.001), 8p loss (6.04, P < 0.001), and 8q gain (4.87, P < 0.001). For chromosome 3 monosomy, the OR was highest for ciliary body location (8.17, P < 0.001), tumor thickness ≥8 mm (2.70, P < 0.001), tumor base ≥10 mm (2.59, P < 0.001), and age ≥60 years (1.83, P < 0.001). For chromosome 8p loss, the OR was highest for ciliary body location (53.91, P = 0.008), ocular melanocytosis (3.95, P = 0.038), and thickness ≥8 mm (5.14, P < 0.001), whereas for 8q gain, the OR was highest for ciliary body location (102.87, P = 0.001), thickness >8 mm (4.44, P < 0.001), and ocular melanocytosis (2.75, P = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing melanoma size demonstrates greater cytogenetic alterations. Alterations in chromosome 8 show unique correlation with melanocytosis. This suggests that prompt management of small melanoma might reduce chromosomal instability and could improve overall patient survival.
