Abstract Biofilms are microbial communities of surface-attached cells embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. They have been found to play role wide variety infections, including catheter-related urinary tract and bloodstream and, therefore remain significant source morbidity mortality among the world's population. Recently, much attention has devoted prevention biofilm formation on implant surfaces. Nanomaterials such as graphene, characterized by antibacterial activity low...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a frequently performed procedure in orthopaedic surgery. Recently, patient-specific instrumentation was introduced to facilitate correct positioning of implants. The aim this study compare the early clinical results TKA with CT-based and conventional technique. A prospective, randomized controlled trial on 112 patients between January 2011 December 2011. group who met inclusion exclusion criteria were enrolled randomly assigned an experimental or control...

Objectives Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a well-approved method for the treatment of end-stage osteoarthritis (OA). Due to rising life expectancy, elderly patients burdened with multimorbidity are subjected THA. Some these present significant depletion physiological reserves, which described as frailty syndrome. This study aims assess influence on THA outcomes in OA patients. Material and methods A single-center observational was conducted investigate effect measured by modified index-5...

Abstract Background Mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) are commonly used in regenerative medicine. Among different tissues, iliac crest bone marrow (BM) represents the most exploited source, but its disadvantages a painful aspiration procedure and low cell number. An alternative, readily available source of MSC for research would be beneficial medicine development. This work aimed to propose new isolation which femoral shaft is taken during total hip arthroplasty (THA). Methods In...

Background and Objectives: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one most common musculoskeletal conditions in children. If not treated, it leads to disability, gait abnormalities, limb shortening, chronic pain. Our study aims determine impact multiple risk factors on incidence DDH develop an interactive assessment tool. Materials Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort Outpatient Clinic for Children Medical University Warsaw Hospital. The Graf classification system was used...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a condition caused by chronic compression of the median nerve. The diagnosis made mainly on basis clinical image and confirmed with electrodiagnostic testing (electromyography nerve conduction study); however, these methods do not always aid in reaching CTS. Moreover, they are invasive examinations, unpleasant for patient have to be performed qualified physician.An evaluation usefulness dynamic thermography CTS.Forty patients were included study group. CTS was...

Wstęp: Ocena ryzyka ma szczególne znaczenie u pacjentów poddawanych interwencjom chirurgicznym. Zabiegi ortopedyczne, w szczególności całkowita alloplastyka stawów, są operacjami związanymi z wysokim ryzykiem okołooperacyjnym, jak również jednym najwyższych odsetków powikłań. Cel: Celem niniejszej pracy było określenie częstości występowania klasycznych i nieklasycznych czynników sercowo-naczyniowego całkowitej alloplastyce stawu biodrowego lub kolanowego. Metody: CRASH-JOINT (...

The treatment of end-stage hemophilic arthropathy the ankle joint remains a controversial problem, and total replacement (TAR) is considered to be valuable management option. Physiotherapy continues an extremely important part TAR has tremendous impact on outcomes this procedure. Given lack data latter, study details protocol perioperative physiotherapy in patients with inherited bleeding disorders (IBD). outlined paper was devised via consultations within interdisciplinary group, authors'...

BACKGROUND:The results of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with inherited bleeding disorders (IBDs) are poorer when compared those the general population, a notably higher risk complications and revision rates. Thus, procedures becoming growing concern this group patients. The aim study was to evaluate TKA IBD. MATERIAL AND METHODS:A retrospective cohort longitudinal assessment hemophilia scheduled for between January 2010 September 2015 performed. clinical status assessed based on...

Periodontal disease is a chronic causing an inflammatory process that affects various organs and as-sociated with increased risk of many diseases, including bone cardiovascular disease.The aim this study was to establish the prevalence periodontal in continuous patients scheduled for hip or knee replacement surgery.The prospective, epidemiological analysis performed consecutive total joint (hip knee) surgery. Patients enrolled into were screened classical factors had dental evaluation...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is considered the gold standard in treatment of advanced osteoarthritis hip. The aim this study was to compare incidence heterotopic ossification (HO), quality life and function two groups patients who underwent total (THA), performed using anterior minimally invasive (MIS) anterolateral approaches.Retrospective analysis 597 THA 2009-2013 performed. In all cohort data on medical history were retrieved. HO occurrence recorded for 331 evaluated based Brooker's...

Haemophilia A and B are rarely occurring X chromosome-linked congenital coagulation disorders dominated by spontaneous joint bleedings chronic synovitis, leading to development of haemophilic arthropathy (HA). Progranulin (PGRN) is a growth factor with anti-inflammatory immunomodulatory properties. PGRN an important molecule in the pathogenesis osteoarthritis (OA) rheumatological disorders. This study was aimed at investigating potential role mechanisms underlying HA. The serum levels were...

Background. Assessment of thromboembolic risk is crucial in choosing appropriate treatment atrial fibrillation (AF). Current guidelines recommend basing the decision on CHA2DS2-VASc score. However, score based only clinical parameters and therefore its relationship with laboratory-assessed coagulation status might not always be objective.Objectives. The aim this study was to assess if associated blood AF patients.Material Methods. Patients continuous prequalified for catheter ablation were...

Abstract Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common medical problem leading to chronic pain and physical disability among the world’s population. Analyzing molecular background of degenerative arthritis creates potential for developing novel targeted methods treatment. Fifty samples meniscus, anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs) articular surfaces were collected from patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty in 2016. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used assess levels interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6,...

Musculoskeletal disorders affect 20%–33% of all the global population, and its prevalence is continually increasing. According to World Health Organisation, persistent neck pain (NP) currently one leading causes disability. Therefore, assessment effectiveness treatment methods severity disease a necessity. However, due multiplicity clinical tools used different inconsistent scoring between researchers, some inaccuracies may arise. This review article an up-to-date overview that provides...
