Novel approaches to the treatment of primary amyloidosis
Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG
Primary (AL, amyloid light-chain) amyloidosis is a plasma cell disorder in which deposits of amyloid light-chain protein cause progressive organ failure. It is important to recognise that amyloidosis is a dynamic process and chemotherapy-induced reduction of the activity of the plasma cell clone reduces the supply of t...

Vascular factors in carpal tunnel syndrome
Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG
An increase in hand and forearm volume was induced without hand movement in ten subjects who had carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). A tester, unaware of sides affected by CTS, performed the Volume Provocation Test (VPT) by inflating a sphygmomanometer cuff around the upper arm to 15 mm Hg less than diastolic pressure for fo...

CC chemokine receptor 9 enhances proliferation in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia and pancreatic cancer cells
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
INTRODUCTION: Chemokine receptors may regulate the progression and metastasis of invasive malignancies. There are little data, however, regarding their role in premalignant lesions. Our objective was to determine the role of CC chemokine receptor 9 (CCR9) in pancreatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PanIN). METHODS: Human ...

NSAIDs/corticosteroids--primum non nocere
AAHKS (2) Corticosteroids
NSAIDs/Corticosteroids are the most used and maybe misused drugs against "aches and pains of the musculoskeletal system". Their effectiveness to reduce (not cure) inflammation and related pain is without doubt. The problem is that of their side effects in particular of the GI-tract and other body systems. It is clear t...

Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy alters knee moments in multiple planes during walking and stair ascent
OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK
Medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy is a surgical procedure intended to redistribute loads on the knee in patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA). The surgery may affect moments in multiple planes during ambulation, with potential beneficial or detrimental effects on joint loads. The objective ...

Pugh nail fixation of displaced femoral neck fractures. A long term follow-up
Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly
Of 695 intracapsular hip fractures with known end results, 80 per cent occurred in women whose average age was 71 years; of 101 consecutive undisplaced intracapsular fractures reported up to 1959, 81 were treated by internal fixation and 20 nonoperatively and all united but 11 per cent developed necrosis. From 1937 to ...

Proximal and distal femoral centralizers in modern cemented hip arthroplasty
AAHKS (2) Corticosteroids
Third generation cementing techniques using intramedullary restrictors, low porosity cement with pressurization, lavage, and cement-stem bond enhancement do not prevent implant malalignment and inadequate cement mantle thickness. This has led to the development of modular proximal and distal centralizers to control the...

Knee replacement for osteoarthritis
AAHKS (2) Corticosteroids
Knee replacement is one of the commonest surgical procedures performed in older adults, and its incidence is increasing rapidly. It is the only curative procedure for knee osteoarthritis, and it has excellent outcomes overall in terms of reoperation, functional outcomes and cost-effectiveness. However, a significant pr...

Rotational references for total knee arthroplasty tibial components change with level of resection
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
Background: Various landmarks can guide tibial component rotational alignment in routine TKA, but with the deeper tibial resection levels common in complex primary and revision TKAs, it is unknown whether these landmarks remain reliable. Questions/purposes: We asked whether three techniques for determining tibial compo...

Comparison of ceftibuten vs. amoxicillin/clavulanic acid as antibiotic prophylaxis in cholecystectomy and/or biliary tract surgery
Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures
A randomized, comparative, prospective clinical trial was carried out at a tertiary care center to compare the efficacy of two antibiotic regimens in the prophylaxis of postoperative infection in patients undergoing biliary tract surgery. One hundred patients undergoing cholecystectomy or biliary tract exploration were...

Fewer bone disease events, improvement in bone remodeling, and evidence of bone healing with bortezomib plus melphalan-prednisone vs. melphalan-prednisone in the phase III VISTA trial in multiple myeloma
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
OBJECTIVES: Bone disease is a key presenting feature of myeloma. This post hoc analysis of the phase III VISTA trial of bortezomib plus melphalan-prednisone (VMP) vs. MP in previously untreated myeloma patients assessed clinical bone disease events and changes in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), a marker for osteoblast acti...

Longitudinal changes in subchondral bone structure as assessed with MRI are associated with functional outcome after high tibial osteotomy
OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK
OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on subchondral bone structure assessed with magnetic resonance (MR)-based trabecular bone imaging and the correlations of these effects with functional outcome and clinical symptoms. METHODS: Patients with varus m...

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus incidence and outcome in patients with neck of femur fractures
Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures
Since the 1980s, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has been identified as a significant infectious agent with an increasing incidence within both hospitals and the community. The aim of this study was to measure the incidence of MRSA colonization in patients admitted with a neck of femur fracture requi...

Influence of Age on Muscle Strength and Knee Function following Arthroscopic Meniscectomy
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
In an effort to examine thigh muscle strength following partial arthroscopic meniscectomy of the knee, 24 surgical patients were studied. They were divided into group 1 (age <20 years), group 2 (age 24-45 years), and group 3 (age >50 years). Subjects were studied immediately after surgery, weekly during isokinetic reha...

Remaining lifetime and absolute 10-year probabilities of osteoporotic fracture in Swiss men and women
Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly
SUMMARY: Remaining lifetime and absolute 10-year probabilities for osteoporotic fractures were determined by gender, age, and BMD values. Remaining lifetime probability at age 50 years was 20.2% in men and 51.3% in women and increased with advancing age and decreasing BMD. The study validates the elements required to p...
