The sample included 1,092 women and men from a nonclinical population in cohabiting or marital re... |
0 | The distribution of hand fractures at the university hospital of north Norway | Hip Fx in the Elderly 2019 | BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to describe the fracture pattern for hand fractures in the Arctic region of Norway.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using the hospital's radiological information system and picture archiving and communication system all traumatic hand fractures in the year of 2010 were registered. Fra... |
1 | Ageing with spinal cord injury: cross-sectional and longitudinal effects | DoD PRF (Psychosocial RF) | STUDY DESIGN: Longitudinal and cross-sectional.
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether, for studies of ageing with a spinal cord injury, the cross-sectional differences in outcomes across both age and years post injury (YPI) differ from the longitudinal change.
SETTING: Two SCI centres in England: the National Spinal Injuries... |
0 | Predicting, Understanding and Speeding Recovery After TKA | AAHKS (5) Gabapentinoids | The objective of this research study is to better understand patterns of recovery after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The study will evaluate how pain, activity and cognitive (i.e., thinking style) responses determine patterns of recovery, and the study will evaluate the efficacy of gabapentin versus placebo for impro... |
0 | Corticosteroid use and risk of hip fracture: a population-based case-control study in Denmark | Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly | OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between cumulative CS dose and risk of hip fracture. DESIGN: Population-based case-control design. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: A total of 6660 subjects with hip fracture and 33,272 age-matched population controls were identified using the County Hospital Discharge Registry in North Jutla... |
0 | Changes in the Prevalence of Rheumatic Diseases in Shantou, China, in the Past Three Decades: A COPCORD Study | Glenohumeral Joint OA | This study aimed to clarify changes in the prevalence of rheumatic diseases in Shantou, China, in the past 3 decades and validate whether stair-climbing is a risk factor for knee pain and knee osteoarthritis (KOA). The World Health Organization-International League Against Rheumatism Community Oriented Program for Cont... |
1 | Diabetic wound healing and limb salvage in an outpatient wound care program | DoD LSA (Limb Salvage vs Amputation) | Healing wounds and preventing amputations in diabetic patients is a challenge. Baptist Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee, developed an outpatient Wound Care Center program to treat patients with chronic wounds. This comprehensive program includes wound assessment, vascular studies, revascularization, antibiotic therapy,... |
0 | Multicompartmental pressures in the knee joint during arthroscopy | AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology) | It is well known that fast changes of position of the knee joint cause high instantaneous intraarticular pressures. During arthroscopy, rotation and flexion of the leg can create a closed-off compartment, increasing the risk of capsular rupture. To evaluate the risk of compartmentation, a study has been conducted in wh... |
0 | Endothelins induce CCR7 expression by breast tumor cells via endothelin receptor A and hypoxia-inducible factor-1 | MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM | Endothelin expression is increased in breast tumors and is associated with invasion and metastasis, whereas CCR7 expression by breast tumor cells may have a role in the organ specificity of breast cancer spread. In this article, we have analyzed whether endothelins influence breast tumor cell expression of the chemokin... |
