0 | Total femur replacement: A limb-saving strategy for patients with primary malignant femoral tumors | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Objective: The treatment of primary malignant tumors with skip or extensive bone destruction in the femur is a major challenge. We investigated the clinical effects of total femur replacement (TFR) in patients with primary malignant femoral tumors. Methods: Eleven cases of primary malignant femoral tumors treated with ... |
1 | Complex limb salvage or early amputation for severe lower-limb injury: a meta-analysis of observational studies | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | PURPOSE: Leg threatening injuries present patients and clinicians with a difficult decision: whether to pursue primary amputation or limb salvage? The purpose of our study was to review the literature in an effort to inform this management decision. METHODS: We systematically searched and selected observational studies... |
0 | Antimicrobial susceptibilities of enteric bacterial pathogens isolated in Kathmandu, Nepal, during 2002-2004 | Patrick’s pharmacoepidemiology project | INTRODUCTION: The prevalence and antimicrobial susceptibility patterns of the bacterial enteropathogens Vibrio cholerae, Salmonella species and Shigella species were investigated. METHODOLOGY: A total of 877 stool samples were received for culture at the National Public Health Laboratory (NPHL), Kathmandu, Nepal, durin... |
0 | Association of medial meniscal extrusion with medial tibial osteophyte distance detected by T2 mapping MRI in patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | BACKGROUND: Medial meniscal extrusion (MME) is associated with progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA), but no or little information is available for relationships between MME and osteophytes, which are found in cartilage and bone parts. Because of the limitation in detectability of the cartilage part of osteoph... |
0 | Correlation between EMG-based co-activation measures and medial and lateral compartment loads of the knee during gait | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Background Inappropriate tibiofemoral joint contact loading during gait is thought to contribute to the development of osteoarthritis. Increased co-activation of agonist/antagonist pair of muscles during gait has commonly been observed in pathological populations and it is thought that this results in increased articul... |
