A Multicenter Study to Evaluate Functional Outcome After Knee Replacement
Patients will be consecutively enrolled by implant. Implant groups will be those who have undergone surgery with either a ConforMIS iTotal® CR TKA or an Off-the- Shelf (OTS) system. The patient will conduct functional testing and answer questionnaires. The results will compare the ConforMIS iTotal with an Off the Shelf Knee replacement.

Anakinra in Infants and Children With Coronary Artery Abnormalities in Acute Kawasaki Disease
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children in the developed world. Despite available treatment, 25% of children in San Diego County appropriately treated for KD develop coronary artery abnormalities that may lead to complications later in life, including heart attack. Although the investigators can identify children with KD that have these coronary artery abnormalities, there is no approved additional treatment to decrease coronary artery inflammation and arrest or prevent damage to the coronary arteries. Anakinra, a therapy that blocks the high levels of interleukin 1 (IL1) that lead to inflammation...

Analysis for NSAID VS Corticosteroid Shoulder Injection in Diabetic Patients
Sixty patients will be identified in the clinic with rotator cuff tendonitis or a low-grade partial-thickness tear of the rotator cuff that are either insulin-dependent or insulin-independent diabetics. Patients will be informed about the current prospective study and written consent will be obtained. Patient information about kidney function, current diabetic medication type, dose and frequency will be obtained in clinic. If there is a diagnosed kidney function abnormality, the patient will be excluded from the study. Patients will be asked about their most recent HbA1C. If HbA1C has not been checked within the past 3 months, the patient...

Analysis of a Tapered Porous Coated Stem and a Cementless Hemispherical Acetabular Component
This prospective study will evaluate the hip function and quality of life of patients operated for total hip arthroplasty with Masterloc femoral stem and MPACT acetabular cup. The results of this study will establish the performance of Masterloc femoral component (Medacta International SA) and MPACT acetabular component (Medacta International SA), and provide a general estimate of survivorship, clinical effectiveness and complications.

Analysis of B Cells From Autoimmune Individuals
This observational study aims at finding out if individual with autoimmunity exhibit increased numbers of B cells that express two types (instead of one type) of antibodies, and if B cells of individuals genetically susceptible to autoimmunity display defects in the biological process of tolerance, which removes B cells that participate in autoimmunity.

Analysis of Crosslinked and Conventional Polyethylene Explants
This retrospective study will investigate the changes that occur in ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) implants that have been retrieved from joint replacement patients. Analysis techniques will include Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) and crosslink density measurements. Crosslink density measurements will be evaluated as a function of distance away from the articular surface and the rim of the implant. Gel and hydroperoxide contents will also be evaluated. The objective is to characterize the in vivo and ex vivo changes that occur with cross-linked and conventional...

Analysis of Prognostic Cell Signaling Factors in Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
The purpose of this study is to identify potential markers for curve progression in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Despite its prevalence and impact on child health, the etiology of AIS and molecular mechanisms underlying its development and progression remain poorly understood. Clinical criteria and features cannot adequately predict which children, diagnosed with mild disease, will undergo subsequent curve progression requiring intervention. The investigators hypothesize that alterations in specific genetic markers will be correlated with the progression of AIS curves over time. Thus, these markers could be used in the future ...

Analysis of Suprapectoral and Subpectoral Biceps Tenodesis
Biceps pathology typically includes pain in the anterior shoulder that is reproduced with provocative maneuvers. However, optimal treatment of patient with this diagnosis is not clear and can include tenotomy (cutting the biceps) or various forms of tenodesis (cutting then reattaching). As tenotomy can lead to cosmetic deformity and anterior humeral discomfort from spasms, many surgeons perform tenodesis. There are various techniques for tenodesis. This study will compare 2 methods: suprapectoral (doing the surgery using an incision higher in the shoulder) versus subpectoral fixation (surgery which involves making an incision lower in the...
