Does biceps detachment decrease joint damage in a rotator cuff tear rat model?
Detachment of the long head of the biceps tendon in the presence of a posterior-superior cuff tear resulted in improved shoulder function and less joint damage in this animal model.
Sustained HCV clearance after IFN-based therapy reduces the risk of liver toxicity during antiretroviral therapy, which should further encourage the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in HIV-coinfected patients. In this population, prescription of PIs or efavirenz decreases and use of dydeoxynucleoside analogues increases the risk of hepatotoxicity.
