A methylxanthine naturally occurring in some beverages and also used as a pharmacological agent. Caffeine's most notable pharmacological effect is as a central nervous system stimulant, increasing alertness and producing agitation. It also relaxes SMOOTH MUSCLE, stimulates CARDIAC MUSCLE, stimulates DIURESIS, and appears to be useful in the treatment of some types of headache. Several cellular actions of caffeine have been observed, but it is not entirely clear how each contributes to its pharmacological profile. Among the most important are inhibition of cyclic nucleotide PHOSPHODIESTERASES, antagonism of ADENOSINE RECEPTORS, and modulation of intracellular calcium handling.

Clinical manifestations include regional pain, PARESTHESIA; MUSCLE WEAKNESS, and decreased sensation (HYPESTHESIA) in the upper extremity. These disorders may be associated with trauma (including BIRTH INJURIES); THORACIC OUTLET SYNDROME; NEOPLASMS; NEURITIS; RADIOTHERAPY; and other conditions. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1351-2)

Contractile tissue that produces movement in animals.

A nonflammable, halogenated, hydrocarbon anesthetic that provides relatively rapid induction with little or no excitement. Analgesia may not be adequate. NITROUS OXIDE is often given concomitantly.

Muscular rigidity which develops in the cadaver usually from 4 to 10 hours after death and lasts 3 or 4 days.

Continuous involuntary sustained muscle contraction which is often a manifestation of BASAL GANGLIA DISEASES. When an affected muscle is passively stretched, the degree of resistance remains constant regardless of the rate at which the muscle is stretched. This feature helps to distinguish rigidity from MUSCLE SPASTICITY. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p73)

(From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1992, Ch55, pp35-6)

The clinical manifestations and pathomechanics of contracture of the extensor mechanism of the knee. (1/325)

Experience with thirty-eight Asian children and adolescents who presented with either stiffness of the knee, genu recurvatum, habitual dislocation of the patella or congenital lateral dislocation of the patella showed that all those disorders were manifestations of contracture of the extensor mechanism, which fell into two groups according to the components involved. In Group I the main components affected were in the midline of the limb, namely rectus femoris and vastus intermedius; these patients presented with varying degrees of stiffness of the knee, or worse, with genu recurvatum. In Group II the main components involved were lateral to the midline of the limb, namely vastus lateralis and the ilio-tibial band; these patients presented with habitual dislocation of the patella, or worse, congenital lateral dislocation of the patella. In both groups untreated patients developed secondary adaptive changes such as subluxation of the tibia or marked genu valgum which made operative procedures more formidable and less effective. Release of the contracture should therefore be performed as early as possible. (+info)

Plasma from human mothers of fetuses with severe arthrogryposis multiplex congenita causes deformities in mice. (2/325)

Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is characterized by fixed joint contractures and other deformities, sometimes resulting in fetal death. The cause is unknown in most cases, but some women with fetuses affected by severe AMC have serum antibodies that inhibit fetal acetylcholine receptor (AChR) function, and antibodies to fetal antigens might play a pathogenic role in other congenital disorders. To investigate this possibility, we have established a model by injecting pregnant mice with plasma from four anti-AChR antibody-positive women whose fetuses had severe AMC. We found that human antibodies can be transferred efficiently to the mouse fetus during the last few days of fetal life. Many of the fetuses of dams injected with AMC maternal plasmas or Ig were stillborn and showed fixed joints and other deformities. Moreover, similar changes were found in mice after injection of a serum from one anti-AChR antibody-negative mother who had had four AMC fetuses. Thus, we have confirmed the role of maternal antibodies in cases of AMC associated with maternal anti-AChR, and we have demonstrated the existence of pathogenic maternal factors in one other case. Importantly, this approach can be used to look at the effects of other maternal human antibodies on development of the fetus. (+info)

Dominant hereditary inclusion-body myopathy gene (IBM3) maps to chromosome region 17p13.1. (3/325)

We recently described an autosomal dominant inclusion-body myopathy characterized by congenital joint contractures, external ophthalmoplegia, and predominantly proximal muscle weakness. A whole-genome scan, performed with 161 polymorphic markers and with DNA from 40 members of one family, indicated strong linkage for markers on chromosome 17p. After analyses with additional markers in the region and with DNA from eight additional family members, a maximum LOD score (Zmax) was detected for marker D17S1303 (Zmax=7.38; recombination fraction (theta)=0). Haplotype analyses showed that the locus (Genome Database locus name: IBM3) is flanked distally by marker D17S945 and proximally by marker D17S969. The positions of cytogenetically localized flanking markers suggest that the location of the IBM3 gene is in chromosome region 17p13.1. Radiation hybrid mapping showed that IBM3 is located in a 2-Mb chromosomal region and that the myosin heavy-chain (MHC) gene cluster, consisting of at least six genes, co-localizes to the same region. This localization raises the possibility that one of the MHC genes clustered in this region may be involved in this disorder. (+info)

Bethlem myopathy: a slowly progressive congenital muscular dystrophy with contractures. (4/325)

Bethlem myopathy is an early-onset benign autosomal dominant myopathy with contractures caused by mutations in collagen type VI genes. It has been reported that onset occurs in early childhood. We investigated the natural course of Bethlem myopathy in five previously published kindreds and two novel pedigrees, with particular attention to the mode of onset in 23 children and the progression of weakness in 36 adult patients. Our analysis shows that nearly all children exhibit weakness or contractures during the first 2 years of life. Early features include diminished foetal movements, neonatal hypotonia and congenital contractures which are of a dynamic nature during childhood. The course of Bethlem myopathy in adult patients is less benign than previously thought. Due to slow but ongoing progression, more than two-thirds of patients over 50 years of age use a wheelchair.

Pentazocine-induced fibromyositis and contracture. (5/325)

We report a case of myopathy, accompanied by widespread contractures predominantly involving the elbow and knee joints, following long-standing pentazocine abuse. (+info)

The medial approach for operative release of post-traumatic contracture of the elbow. (6/325)

We treated post-traumatic contracture of the elbow in 13 consecutive patients (14 elbows) by operative release. Through a single medial approach, the posterior oblique bundle of the medial collateral ligament was resected, followed by posterior and anterior capsulectomies. An additional lateral release through a separate incision was required in only four elbows. The results were assessed at a mean interval of 57 months after operation. Before surgery active extension lacked 43 degrees which improved to 17 degrees after operation. Active flexion before operation was 89 degrees, which improved to 127 degrees. The mean arc of movement increased from 46 degrees to 110 degrees. All 14 elbows showed scarring of the posterior oblique bundle of the medial collateral ligament. Neither the interval from injury to operative release nor the age of the patient affected the results. A medial approach is useful to reveal and excise the pathological changes in the medial collateral ligament. It is a safe and effective route through which to correct post-traumatic contracture of the elbow. (+info)

The effectiveness of turnbuckle splinting for elbow contractures. (7/325)

We have treated 22 patients with an elbow contracture using a static progressive turnbuckle splint for a mean of 4.5 +/- 1.8 months. All had failed to improve with supervised physiotherapy and splinting. The mean range of flexion before splintage was from 32 +/- 10 degrees to 108 +/- 19 degrees and afterwards from 26 + 10 (p = 0.02) to 127 +/- 12 degrees (p = 0.0001). A total of 11 patients gained a 'functional arc of movement,' defined as at least 30 degrees to 130 degrees. In eight patients movement improved with turnbuckle splinting, but the functional arc was not achieved. Six of these were satisfied and did not wish to proceed with surgical treatment and two had release of the elbow contracture. In three patients movement did not improve with the use of the turnbuckle splint and one subsequently had surgical treatment. Our findings have shown that turnbuckle splinting is a safe and effective treatment which should be considered in patients whose established elbow contractures have failed to respond to conventional physiotherapy.

A case of congenital inverse Duane's retraction syndrome. (8/325)

Inverse Duane's retraction syndrome is very uncommon. Congenital cases are even more unusual. A 6-year-old girl with convergent squint along with severe restriction on abduction is described. On attempted abduction, a narrowing of the palpebral fissure, upshoot and retraction of the eyeball were observed. Brain and orbit MRI demonstrated no intracranial or intraorbital mass, fracture, or entrapment of the medial rectus. Forced duction test was strongly positive. The primary lesion was found to be a tight medial rectus with shortening and soft tissue contracture. Surgical tenotomy of the medial rectus led to successful postoperative motility, but some limitation at full adduction and abduction persisted. This is a case reported with congenital medial rectus shortening, suggesting that this condition may be one of the etiologies of the rare inverse Duane's retraction syndrome. (+info)

There are still some complications that can occur as a result of breast augmentation surgery, however, like capsular contracture. (drbrent.com)
Capsular contracture can cause pain and can even cause the implant to become deformed. (drbrent.com)
If you are suffering from capsular contracture, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Brent Moelleken can remove or release the scar tissue and replace the affected implant in order to restore your results. (drbrent.com)
Breast implants, whether for augmentation or reconstruction, are associated with several well-known risks and complications, the most common of which is capsular contracture. (aserf.org)
Despite continued improvements in breast implant design over the past five decades, capsular contracture still remains a significant problem, with reported rates between 15% and 45% (Headon, Kasem et al. (aserf.org)
Capsular contracture begins as an inflammatory foreign body response after implantation, and while the ensuing fibrotic reaction can help to maintain position of the implant, an excessive response can result in pain and deformity of the breast. (aserf.org)
Several studies have also correlated fibroblast density and cellular alignment with capsular contracture, and more recent reports have shown a functional difference in fibroblasts, with dysregulation of several inflammatory and fibrotic genes noted when comparing fibroblasts derived from non-contracted and contracted breast implant capsules (Kyle and Bayat 2015). (aserf.org)
2008). As development of thicker and more aligned collagen fibers have been found to be a key feature of capsular contracture, CD26 inhibitors have the potential to alter severity of this fibrotic response. (aserf.org)
Among women undergoing bilateral mastectomies with expander placement prior to adjuvant radiation therapy, studies have demonstrated an over four-fold increase in capsular contracture on the irradiated side (Chen, Momeni et al. (aserf.org)
2016). These patients therefore offer the ability to investigate the role CD26+ fibroblasts play in the development of radiation-induced capsular contracture, with the contralateral non-irradiated, less contracted breast providing a point of comparison. (aserf.org)
Our central hypothesis is that the frequency of CD26+ fibroblasts is increased in irradiated, contracted breast capsules, and their enhanced fibrotic capacity can be reduced by CD26 inhibitors to decrease capsular contracture severity. (aserf.org)
Low grade implant infection has been implicated as the most likely cause of a large portion of capsular contractures that occur following breast augmentation . (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Prevention of inner and outer implant contamination by foreign bodies, bacteria or fungus is a top priority during breast augmentation surgery at Pratt Plastic Surgery, thus helping prevent acute implant infection and the low-grade bacterial contamination thought to be a possible cause of capsular contracture of breast implants. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Blood deposited around a breast implant can lead to a severe capsular contracture. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Powder from the surgeon's gloves has been implicated as being a possible cause of capsular contracture. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Use of IDEAL Breast Implants , since IDEAL Implants are known to have a reduced capsular contracture rate than other implants. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Silicone implants are associated with a higher capsular contracture rate than saline. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
Submuscular placement of implants traditionally has been said to be associated with a higher capsular contracture rate than subglandular placement of implants. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
He also performs subglandular placement of the implants in many patients who have adequate soft tissue coverage of the implant and has seen no significant difference in capsular contracture rates. (prattplasticsurgery.com)
We present a safe, effective, and reproducible arthroscopic technique for posteromedial capsular release to address knee flexion contractures. (arthroscopytechniques.org)
Capsular Contracture remains one of the main reasons for Breast Augmentation Revision Surgery. (sanfranciscobreast.com)
The term Capsular Contracture is used when the Breast Implant's capsule is too tight. (sanfranciscobreast.com)
When Capsular Contracture occurs, the implant is squeezed, causing a reduction in breast volume, hardening of the Breast Implants, a a change in position of the Breast Implant, and in some cases, breast pain. (sanfranciscobreast.com)
While the cause of Capsular Contracture remains unknown, the sooner Capsular Contracture is fixed the easier it is to remedy. (sanfranciscobreast.com)
Below are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about Capsular Contracture . (sanfranciscobreast.com)
What Is Capsular Contracture After Breast Implant Placement? (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
Capsular contracture can be a relatively common complication after placement of silicone breast implants or saline breast implants. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
In some cases, over time, it can tighten and compress the implant, making it feel firm and painful, causing what is called a capsular contracture. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
Capsular contracture is more common following infection, hematoma, or seroma, and the chance of it happening may increase over time. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
Capsular contracture is also a risk factor for implant rupture, and is the most common reason for re-operation after breast implant placement. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
Symptoms of capsular contracture can range from just mild firmness and discomfort, to severe pain, distorted appearance of the breast, and the ability to feel the implant. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
The data for both silicone and saline breast implants says that about 1 in 6 women will develop a severe capsular contracture, either grade III or IV, through 7 years after breast implant placement. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
Should you be developing firmness, hardness, or distorted appearance after your breast implant placement, you may have a capsular contracture. (dallasplasticsurgery.pro)
