0 | Electrical stimuli in the central nervous system microenvironment | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Electrical stimulation to manipulate the central nervous system (CNS) has been applied as early as the 1750s to produce visual sensations of light. Deep brain stimulation (DBS), cochlear implants, visual prosthetics, and functional electrical stimulation (FES) are being applied in the clinic to treat a wide array of ne... |
0 | Beta-2 microglobulin in peritoneal dialysis patients: Serum levels and peritoneal clearances | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) is amyloidogenic in long-term hemodialysis patients, with amyloid deposition manifesting as lytic bone lesions, carpal tunnel syndrome, destructive arthropathies, tenosynovitis, and pathologic fractures. To study the behavior of this protein in the peritoneal dialysis population, serum levels... |
0 | The growth kinetics of synovial fibroblastic cells from inflammatory and noninflammatory arthropathies | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | The growth kinetics of subcultured human synovial fibroblasts from 16 patients with inflammatory and noninflammatory arthropathies were studied in antibiotic free media. The experimental design allowed a clear distinction between the growth rates and final saturation densities achieved. The effects of refeeding and of ... |
0 | Contraindications to the repositioning of fractured or dislocated limbs in the fields | Distal Radius Fractures | Supracondylar fractures of the femor or humerus and fractures of the radius, ulna, tibia or fibula, plus crush injuries of the limbs, most likely should not be manipulated in the field because of the potential for traumatizing adjacent nerves, veins and arteries. An emergency splinting system that allows immobilization... |
1 | Femoral nerve block in a representative sample of elderly people with hip fracture: A randomised controlled trial | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | INTRODUCTION: The number of elderly people with hip fracture and dementia is increasing, and many of these patients suffer from pain. Opioids are difficult to adjust and side effects are common, especially with increased age and among patients with dementia. Preoperative femoral nerve block is an alternative pain treat... |
0 | Secondary prevention program for osteoporotic fractures and long-term adherence to bisphosphonates | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | Summary: Our purpose was to assess the impact of a secondary prevention program for osteoporotic fractures in patients with fragility fracture and to determine its effect on long-term compliance with bisphosphonate treatment. Persistence with bisphosphonate use was 71%. Attending follow-up visits was the only variable ... |
0 | Optimal timing of operations to treat fractures of the femoral neck with endoprotheses: CRP as a parameter of postoperative immunologic reaction | Hip Fx Time to Surgery | Background: The optimal time to perform endoprosthesis of hip fractures in the elderly is still under discussion. CRP as an objective marker of postoperative inflammatory reaction should give an indication if early or late surgery is favored. Methods: CRP values from 122 patients with no complications after hip arthrop... |
0 | Prevention and rehabilitation of overuse injuries of the elbow | The Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures AUC | Rehabilitation from injury and prevention of injury are terms that describe differing aspects of the same challenge. The clinician must be continually aware of the principles of rehabilitation and their order of priority (prevent further damage, restore motion, restore strength, reestablish coordination) while supervis... |
1 | Effectiveness of Periarticular Injection After Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty for Displaced Femoral Neck Fracture in Elderly Patients: A Double Blinded Randomized, Controlled Study | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: Bipolar hemiarthroplasty is a standard treatment for displaced femoral neck fracture in elderly with a normal acetabulum. Several studies have shown controversial results regarding postoperative visual analogue scale, opioid consumption, and the effectiveness of periarticular injection in hip arthroplasty. ... |
0 | Risedronate and ergocalciferol prevent hip fracture in elderly men with Parkinson disease | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: There is a high incidence of hip fractures in patients with Parkinson disease (PD). Bone mineral density (BMD) is decreased in patients with PD, correlating with the immobilization-induced bone resorption and hypovitaminosis D with compensatory hyperparathyroidism. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness o... |
0 | Tibial Component Fixation in Total Knee Arthroplasty. A Comparison of Pegged and Stemmed Designs | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | This study compares midterm radiographic, functional, and quality-of-life outcomes in patients receiving a cemented tibial component that has either a short intramedullary stem or one that has a pegged tibial component. A cohort of 181 patients received 225 NexGen cruciate-retaining implants (84 stemmed, 141 pegged) du... |
1 | Big-five personality traits and ego-resilience in amputee soldiers | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | The present study was conducted to see the relationship of personality traits and ego-resilience in soldiers with amputation. The research also took into consideration age, nature of amputation related differences in resilience. Urdu translated versions of scales; Ego Resilience Scale (Block & Kremen, 1996) and NEO-Per... |
1 | Harmonic scalpel versus electrocautery in breast reduction surgery: a randomized controlled trial | Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy | METHODSThirty-one patients were evaluated in a matched-pair design, with random (blinded) assignment of one side to the Harmonic Scalpel, with the other side defaulting to electrocautery. Main outcome measures were: (1) resection/hemostasis time, (2) drainage volume, and (3) postoperative pain. The authors also compare... |
0 | No association between the aluminium content of trabecular bone and bone density, mass or size of the proximal femur in elderly men and women | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | BACKGROUND: Aluminium is considered a bone toxic metal since poisoning can lead to aluminium-induced bone disease in patients with chronic renal failure. Healthy subjects with normal renal function retain 4% of the aluminium consumed. They might thus also accumulate aluminium and eventually be at risk of long-term low-... |
0 | Effect of prostaglandin E1 infusion during and after total hip arthroplasty under hypotensive anesthesia on postoperative liver function and hemorrhage | AAHKS (8) Anesthetic Infiltration | We evaluated the effects of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on the liver function and hemorrhage after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Twenty patients with normal liver function were randomly divided into two groups. The patients were anesthetized with spinal anesthesia using 0.5% bupivacaine 4 ml and epidural anesthesia. The la... |
0 | A prospective study comparing mobile-bearing versus fixed-bearing type in total knee arthroplasty using the free-hand-cutting technique | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | The mobile-bearing knee prosthesis was claimed to get more flexion in the laboratory testing and may provide better functional outcome than the conventional fixed-bearing prosthesis in patients. To prove this hypothesis in the patients between those two type prosthesis about flexion and functional out come was our stud... |
0 | Assessment of Low-Grade Meniscal and Cartilage Damage of the Knee at 7 T: A Comparison to 3 T Imaging With Arthroscopic Correlation | OAK 3 - Non-arthroplasty tx of OAK | OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to compare the assessment of low-grade meniscal tears and cartilage damage in ultrahigh-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 7 T to routine clinical MRI at 3 T.
