This study focuses on the diagnostic analysis of cartilage damage in knee joint based acoustic signals generated by joint. The research utilizes a combination advanced signal processing techniques, specifically empirical mode decomposition (EEMD) and detrended fluctuation (DFA), alongside convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for classification detection tasks. Acoustic signals, often reflecting mechanical behavior during movement, serve as non-invasive tool assessing condition. EEMD is...

Cartilage loss due to osteoarthritis (OA) in the patellofemoral joint provokes pain, stiffness, and restriction of motion, which strongly reduces quality life. Early diagnosis is essential for prolonging painless function. Vibroarthrography (VAG) has been proposed literature as a safe, noninvasive, reproducible tool cartilage evaluation. Until now, however, there have no strict protocols VAG acquisition especially regard differences between tibiofemoral joints. The purpose this study was...

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common cause disability among elderly. It can affect every joint in human body, however, it prevalent hip, knee, and hand joints. Early diagnosis cartilage lesions essential for fast accurate treatment, which prolong function. Available diagnostic methods include conventional X-ray, ultrasound magnetic resonance imaging. However, those modalities are not suitable screening purposes. Vibroarthrography proposed literature as a method lesions. exact signal...

Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes disability around globe. Up to this date there no definite cure for cartilage lesions. Only fast and accurate diagnosis enables prolonging joint survivor time. Available diagnostic methods have disadvantages such as high price, radiation, need experienced radiologists or low availability in some regions. The present study evaluates use vibroarthorgraphy a method lesion detection. 47 patients with diagnosed lesions, 51 healthy control group been...

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a chronic, progressive disease which has over 300 million cases each year. Some of the main symptoms OA are pain, restriction joint motion and stiffness joint. Early diagnosis treatment can prolong painless function. Vibroarthrography (VAG) cheap, reproducible, non-invasive easy-to-use tool be implemented in diagnostic route. The aim this study was to establish accuracy identify most accurate signal processing method for detection knee joints. In study, we have...

Purpose: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in knee injuries. Methods: Ninety-six patients at a regional hospital were included study. Each participant underwent which menisci ACL evaluated. Knee joint MRI was collected from each patient. Physical scans then compared with arthroscopy findings as golden standard for meniscal ligamentous lesions. The data analyzed specificity sensitivity calculated correlated on receiver...

Purpose: This study was conducted in order to evaluate the clinical utility of MRI detecting cartilage lesions and its dependence on anatomical location lesion grade. Methods: A retrospective analysis reports arthroscopic findings performed 190 consecutive patients treated one orthopaedic department. protocols were prepared by 18 radiologists from 10 different centers with use 1.5 T magnets. The image selected reading radiologists. Four hundred fifty-three chondral five anatomic locations...

Revision surgeries several years after the implantation of prosthesis are unfavorable from patient’s point view as they expose him to additional discomfort, risk complications and expensive. One factors responsible for aseptic loosening is gradual degradation cement material a result working under considerable loads, in an aggressive environment human body. Contaminants present surgical field may significantly affect durability bone and, consequently, entire bone-cement-prosthesis system....

Traumatic injuries are a significant global health concern, with profound medical and socioeconomic impacts. This study explores the patterns of trauma-related hospitalizations in Lublin Province Poland, particular focus on periods before during COVID-19 pandemic. The primary aim this research was to assess trends trauma admissions, average length hospital stays, mortality rates associated different types injuries, comparing urban rural settings over two distinct time periods: 2018-2019...

Abstract Surgical planning shall be based on thorough physical examination and radiological findings during patient evaluation. The use of computational methods in the evaluation diagnostic tests may facilitate decision-making process as well reduce treatment costs. Conventional X-ray is a modality choice for bone visualisation however, it not suitable soft tissue MRI tool designated its accuracy debated literature. This study was performed to evaluate most common knee injuries comparison...

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to estimate the effect platelet-rich plasma (PRP) augmentation in microfractures chondral lesions elderly individuals. Methods: 29 patients with knee osteoarthritis were enrolled single-blinded randomized study. group consisted 16 and 13 control group. All surgeries performed same manner. PRP injection made a dry arthroscopy directly over microfractures. evaluation preoperatively on 6th, 12th, 24th week following surgery. WOMAC Lysholm questionnaires...

The purpose of the study was to test usefulness deep learning artificial neural networks and statistical modeling in predicting strength bone cements with defects. defects are related introduction admixtures, such as blood or saline, contaminants into cement at preparation stage. Due wide range applications learning, among others speech recognition, bioinformation processing, medication design, extent checked which it is possible obtain information prediction compressive cements. Development...

The paper presents the results of experimental strength tests specimens made two commercially available bone cements subjected to compression, that is a typical variant load this material during use in human body, after it has been used for implantation prostheses or supplementation defects. One factors analysed detail was duration cement seasoning Ringer's solution simulates aggressive environment body and degradation caused by it. study also focused on parameters quantitative deviation...

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a seronegative arthropathy with many clinical manifestations, and it may affect nearly half of patients psoriasis. PsA should be diagnosed as early possible to slow down joint damage progression disability. To improve the diagnosis PsA, physicians look for peripheral inflammatory pain, axial dactylitis, buttock sciatic pain. In most pharmacologic treatment non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic biologic agents effective. However,...

The COVID-19 pandemic demanded changes in healthcare systems worldwide. lockdown brought about difficulties access. However, trauma still required further attention considering its modifications. presented study aims to investigate the variances epidemiological patterns of during and previous year, with a view better understand modifications provision. authors analyzed data from first 2020 (12 March–30 May) same period 2019 35 hospitals Lublin Province. A total 10,806 patients 5212 were...
