Background: Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a challenging condition to treat. The most appropriate management of culture-negative PJI not known, and there immense variability in the treatment outcome this condition. purpose study was elucidate characteristics, outcomes, risk factors for failure PJI. Methods: A retrospective review 219 patients (138 hips 81 knees) who had undergone surgery performed utilizing prospectively collected institutional database. PJIs which...
Research surrounding COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) is rapidly increasing, including the study of biomarkers for predicting outcomes. There little data examining correlation between serum albumin levels and severity. The purpose this to evaluate whether admission reliably predict outcomes in patients.We retrospectively reviewed 181 patients from two hospitals who had pneumonia confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing radiologic imaging, were hospitalized March July 2020. We...
Background: Perioperative hyperglycemia has many etiologies, including medication, impaired glucose tolerance, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, or stress, the latter of which is common in patients postoperatively. Our study investigated influence postoperative blood levels on periprosthetic joint infection after elective total arthroplasty to determine a threshold for glycemic control surgeons should strive during patient’s hospital stay. Methods: A single-institution retrospective review was...
Abstract Background Diagnosing periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) represents a challenge that relies on multiple clinical and laboratory criteria may not be consistently present. The synovial alpha-defensin-1 (AD-1) test has been shown to correlate accurately with the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) for diagnosis of PJI, however, its association persistent PJI elucidated in setting patients receiving antibiotic spacers during second-stage reimplantation. Applying Delphi-based...
The treatment strategy for evolutive septic arthritis (SA) with coexistent degenerative joint disease is not well established. purposes of this study were to 1) investigate outcome and potential risk factors failure in patients SA following two-stage procedure, including insertion an antibiotic-loaded spacer at the first stage subsequent implantation a new prosthesis; 2) determine performance serum erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP), Interleukin-6 (IL-6)...
Failure after a 2-stage exchange surgery for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is high. Previous studies demonstrated that positive cultures at reimplantation are associated with failure afterward. The aim of this multicenter study was to define the role antibiotics in cement spacer relation and subsequent failure. We retrospectively evaluated procedures between 2000 2015. Culture-negative PJIs, cases which no were obtained during reimplantation, without data on spacers excluded. Three...
An anonymous questionnaire was used to survey the attitudes of 382 doctors towards euthanasia and assisted suicide at Khartoum’s two main hospitals. Of 382, 248 responded [65% response rate]. The mean age 38 +/- 13.5 years; male: female ratio 130: 118; 66% were house staff, 34% specialists; 92% Muslim, 8% Christian. vast majority [85%] strongly opposed practices, while 15% thought they should be performed only in certain situations, subject strict safeguards. Reasons given for opposition...
Returning to work after surgery is a primary concern of patients who are contemplating total joint arthroplasty (TJA). The ability return has enormous influence on the patient's independence, financial well-being, and daily activities. goal this study was determine independent patient variables that predict as well create predictive model. From June 2017 December 2017, 391 underwent TJA (243 hips, 148 knees) were prospectively enrolled in obtain information surgery. Patients sent series...
Osler Weber Rendu Syndrome (OWRS) also known as Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant vascular disorder that causes epistaxis, Arteriovenous Malformations (AVMs), and telangiectasias. While Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding a relatively common effect of OWRS, less findings such ischemic colitis have been reported. Here, we present case patient with underlying OWRS who was found to colitis.
