Outcomes of the Nanoscopic Partial Meniscectomy Versus Standard Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy
Recruiting
Standard arthroscopy has been the gold standard for treatment of meniscus tears since the 1980's. The purpose of this study is to analyze the clinical outcomes of using the smaller diameter Nanoscope for partial menisectomy. The authors hypothesize that the Nanoscopic partial menisectomy patients will have less pain and return function faster than standard arthroscopy.

IBS Skin Patch Test Food Allergy Study
Recruiting
Participants with IBS are skin patch tested (no needles) to 80 different foods and food additives, compounded for patch testing, in search of food allergies. The testing requires 3 office visits within a 4 or 5 day period. The patches are taped to the back at Visit #. At Visit #2 48 hours later, the patches are removed from the skin and the outside border of each patch is marked with a felt tip marker. At Visit #3 (final visit) 1 or 2 days later, the patch test reading is performed by the doctor... Read More
