1 | Computed tomography of the knee with reference to meniscal tears. A prospective blind investigation | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | Computed tomography (CT) with a high resolution CT scanner and--on a special occasion--double contrast arthrography of the knee with reference to meniscal tears were performed in 50 patients. Operation or arthroscopy was performed in 28 patients and 15 were found to have meniscal tears. A correct diagnosis of the tears... |
0 | Magnetic resonance imaging of knee injuries in children | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | The appearances of knee injuries on MR imaging are less well documented in children than adults. Some patterns of injury are shared by both groups of patients, e. g. meniscal damage. The frequency of specific injuries may differ, e. g. anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. Congenital abnormality, coexistent pathology ... |
0 | A rare cause of 'drop foot' in the pediatric age group: Proximal fibular osteochondroma a report of 5 cases | Osteochondritis Dissecans 2020 Review | INTRODUCTION: The fibular nerve is the most frequent site of neural entrapment in the lower extremity and the third most common site in the body, following the median and ulnar nerves. The peroneal nerve is commonly injured upon trauma. Additionally, a dropped foot might be a symptom related to the central nervous syst... |
0 | Is dental treatment of an infected tooth a risk factor for locally invasive spread of infection? | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | PURPOSE: To determine the impact of antecedent dental procedures and dental health on the course of odontogenic maxillofacial infections requiring hospital care. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective cohort study in a referral center, we evaluated medical records and panoramic radiographs of all patients admitted... |
0 | Clinicopathological features among patients with advanced human epidermal growth factor-2-positive breast cancer with prolonged clinical benefit to first-line trastuzumab-based therapy: a retrospective cohort study | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | BACKGROUND: The magnitude of benefit of trastuzumab for the treatment of advanced HER2-positive breast cancer varies widely. In this retrospective study, we investigated the clinicopathological features associated with prolonged first-line trastuzumab-based treatment duration.
PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 164 patie... |
0 | Mental health and coping in a war situation: the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | The latter part of the twentieth century has seen an increased concern for the implications of war for civilian populations, and more attention has been given to psychosocial impacts of uprooting and displacement. 'Loss of place', acute and chronic trauma, family disruption and problems of family reunification have bec... |
0 | Usefulness of bone microarchitectural and geometric DXA-derived parameters in haemophilic patients | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | Introduction: Haemophilia is a recessive X-linked inherited bleeding disorder, whose typical symptom is spontaneous intra-articular haemorrhage leading to joint damage, which can be quantified by the Haemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS). Arthropathy and other characteristics of haemophilic patients may reduce bone min... |

1 | Highly sensitive and specific diagnosis of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) by reverse transcription multiple cross displacement amplification-labelled nanoparticles biosensor | Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) | BACKGROUND: The ongoing outbreak of the novel human coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (also known as 2019-nCoV) has become a global health concern. Rapid and ease-to-use diagnostic techniques are urgently needed to diagnose SARS-CoV-2 infection. METHODS: We devised a reverse transcription multiple cross displacement amplification... |
0 | TRAM flap breast reconstruction and contralateral reduction or mastopexy | Acellular Dermal Matrix | The quality of a breast reconstruction is gauged by the symmetry achieved when the reconstructed and opposite breasts are compared. In order to produce a symmetrical appearance, it is often necessary to revise the contralateral, previously unoperated breast. A procedure on the opposite breast can be performed at the sa... |
0 | A new classification for proximal femur bone defects in conservative hip arthroplasty revisions | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | INTRODUCTION: In last three decades, total hip replacement in young patients became an habitual procedure. Principles of bone preservation are pushing many surgeons to implant conservative femoral components in patient younger than 65 years. Despite an overall good survivorship and clinical outcomes of conservative imp... |
1 | Multiple compression neuropathies and the double-crush syndrome | Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG | Multiple compressions along a nerve have a cumulative effect on conduction, both antegrade and retrograde. This nerve compromise renders the nerve more susceptible to a second source of compression. The proximal source of compression may be subclinical yet partially responsible for the cumulative compression syndrome. ... |
0 | Treatment of initially infected mandibular fractures with bone plates | Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures | Use of the self-compression plate has proved to be a reliable method for treatment of various mandibular fractures. It has been uncommon, however, to use the plates in preoperatively infected mandibular fractures. Based on acceptable results in general traumatology for cases with open-wound fractures, I inserted bone p... |
0 | Bisphosphonates and time to osteonecrosis development | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Bisphosphonate-associated osteonecrosis of the jaw (BONJ) is a complication of long-term bisphosphonate 1(BP) use. Given the beneficial effects of BP on bone quality in patients with cancer or osteoporosis, it is of great importance to understand the risk as it relates to time to event or cumulative dose until the onse... |
