Dr. Schiebel studies a range of conditions and treatments, primarily focusing on how misalignments in bones, such as the femur, impact hip function and pain. He has examined rare tumors that can appear in the groin area, assessing their characteristics and surgical outcomes to ensure accurate diagnoses. Additionally, his research includes evaluating soft tissue injuries in the face and neck, and the effects of specific medications on conditions like circulatory shock and premature labor. His investigations aim to enhance treatment protocols and improve recovery for various patient groups.
Key findings
In a study of 108 patients, misalignment of the femur was found to average 20 degrees, with two-thirds of the deformity occurring below the lesser trochanter, assisting in better surgical correction methods.
A case of a benign cellular angiofibroma was reported, measuring 6.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm, showcasing the importance of distinguishing this tumor from other groin masses to avoid unnecessary surgeries.
Research indicated that norepinephrine effectively improved low blood pressure in two patients suffering from tricyclic antidepressant overdose when initial treatments were unsuccessful.
In a study of dogs in hemorrhagic shock, administration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone improved blood pressure from 50 mm Hg to higher levels, suggesting a potential treatment for improving recovery in severe cases.
A report on a young woman revealed that treatment for premature labor can lead to adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), emphasizing the need for caution in using certain medications during pregnancy.

Plain English This study looked at how misalignment in the thigh bone (femur) affects pain and hip function in 108 patients, aged 18 to 85. Researchers found that the average angle of femoral torsion (the angle of the bone's twist) was 20 degrees and that two-thirds of the deformity occurred below a specific bony landmark on the femur called the lesser trochanter. These findings are important because they help improve surgical techniques to correct this misalignment, potentially reducing pain and improving mobility for patients.
Who this helps: Patients suffering from hip pain and mobility issues due to femoral misalignment.
Cellular Angiofibroma Presenting as an Inguinal Subcutaneous Mass: a Case Report and Review of the Literature.
2016
The West Virginia medical journal
Schiebel F, Cassim R
Plain English This study looks at a rare type of benign tumor called a cellular angiofibroma, which was found in the inguinal area (the groin) of a 64-year-old man. The tumor, measuring 6.5 x 5 x 3.5 cm, was discovered during imaging for prostate cancer and was confirmed to be harmless after surgery. It's important for doctors to recognize this type of tumor when they see a groin mass that isn’t a hernia or undescended testicle, as it can help prevent unnecessary procedures.
Who this helps: This helps doctors diagnose and treat patients with inguinal masses more accurately.
Soft tissue injuries to face and neck: early assessment and repair.
2001
World journal of surgery
Hochberg J, Ardenghy M, Toledo S, Ardenghy ME, Miura Y +1 more
Plain English This study focused on how to quickly evaluate and treat soft tissue injuries to the face and neck. It highlighted that properly assessing the injury before any surgery is crucial, especially for identifying damage to important underlying structures. The authors also discussed how to care for patients after surgery to ensure the best recovery.
Who this helps: This benefits patients who have suffered facial or neck injuries as well as doctors treating these conditions.
Plain English This study looked at a case where a 33-year-old patient experienced cardiac arrest after receiving a large dose of potassium phosphate through an IV. The patient had a high level of phosphorus in their blood after the infusion, although other dangerous conditions like low calcium or high potassium were not found. This situation highlights the need for medical professionals to be very careful with how much phosphate is given, as it can lead to serious heart problems.
Who this helps: This information benefits doctors and healthcare providers managing patients who require phosphate infusions.
Beneficial effect of norepinephrine in the treatment of circulatory shock caused by tricyclic antidepressant overdose.
1988
The American journal of emergency medicine
Teba L, Schiebel F, Dedhia HV, Lazzell VA
Plain English This study looked at patients who experienced low blood pressure (circulatory shock) after taking too many tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs). The researchers found that while the initial treatment with another medication called dopamine didn't work, two patients improved when given norepinephrine instead. This matters because norepinephrine can be a more effective treatment for low blood pressure in these cases, potentially saving lives.
Who this helps: This helps patients who overdose on tricyclic antidepressants and doctors treating them.
Beneficial effect of thyrotropin-releasing hormone in canine hemorrhagic shock.
1987
Circulatory shock
Teba L, Zakaria M, Dedhia HV, Schiebel F, Beamer KC
Plain English Researchers studied how a hormone called thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) affects blood flow and oxygen levels in dogs that were experiencing severe blood loss (hemorrhagic shock). They found that after giving TRH to a group of dogs, their blood pressure and heart function improved, with mean arterial pressure increasing from 50 mm Hg to higher levels, while oxygen delivery improved, but oxygen consumption stayed the same. This discovery is important because it suggests that TRH could be a helpful treatment for dogs in shock, potentially improving their recovery.
Who this helps: This helps veterinarians and dogs suffering from severe hemorrhagic shock.
ARDS associated with the use of sympathomimetics and glucocorticoids for the treatment of premature labor.

Critical care medicine
Bowen RE, Dedhia HV, Beatty J, Schiebel F, Koss W +1 more
Plain English This study focused on a 19-year-old woman who developed a serious lung condition called adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) after being treated with two medications, dexamethasone and ritodrine, to prevent premature labor. The researchers found evidence that the treatment may have triggered an immune response that contributed to her ARDS. This is important because it highlights potential risks associated with using these medications in pregnant women.
Who this helps: This helps doctors understand the dangers of certain treatments for premature labor.
