What is an e-cigarette?
An electronic cigarette is a disposable or rechargeable battery powered personal vaporizer (PV) or inhaler, often in the form of a cigarette, and can contain either flavored nicotine liquid or refills with no nicotine. The nicotine strength can also be varied according to the user's requirement. High-power models are also available that do not resemble an ordinary cigarette but instead look like a thick tube or a small box with a mouthpiece attached.

Ecigarettes are a modern way to obtain nicotine and replace smoking - an alternative to smoking tobacco cigarettes, desirable since they are likely to be several orders of magnitude less harmful. They can also be used without nicotine. The liquids contain about half a dozen food grade ingredients that are all licensed for human consumption and considered acceptably safe, as against the 5,300 discovered so far in cigarette smoke of which many are known to be toxic and/or carcinogenic.

Outcomes of Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction


by John-Paul H. Rue, MD; Jerome J. DaSilva, MD; Dana P. Piasecki, MD; Bernard R. Bach, MD


Arthroscopically assisted single-bundle reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a reproducible surgical procedure with a high success rate and greater than 90% patient satisfaction. Data on arthroscopically assisted single-bundle ACL reconstruction using the classic bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, hamstring autograft, as well as allograft tissues indicate that the procedure reliably improves knee stability and patient function. Complications following ACL reconstruction using modern endoscopic techniques are generally mild and uncommon. Graft failure, when noted, occurs in 0% to 6% of patients; 15% to 25% of patients report mild patellofemoral discomfort and/or crepitus. Significant postoperative stiffness is rare, with absolute postoperative range-of-motion measurements averaging 0° to roughly 140° in more than 90% of patients.
