Does sepsis induce diaphragm electron transport chain dysfunction and protein depletion?
Our data indicate that endotoxin selectively depletes critical components of the electron transport chain that diminishes electron flow, reduces proton pumping and decreases ATP formation.
Outcomes of rehabilitation therapy in patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears and shoulder pseudoparalysis vary according to the site and number of the tears. Failure of rehabilitation therapy is common in patients with massive anterior tears or tears involving at least three tendons. In contrast, in patients with isolated massive posterior tears, substantial benefits from rehabilitation therapy can be expected.
