This study (a post-intervention assessment) was designed to assess the effectiveness of peer-assisted learning (PAL) using student-teachers (STs) with limited training teach complicated technical skills for interpreting ultrasound images shoulder.Students in Years 3 and 4 medical school were randomly assigned two groups. In PAL group (PG), teaching delivered by a nine STs from 4, who undertook 30-minute general 1 week self-teaching. staff-led (SG), students taught three...
Health apps are increasingly becoming an integral part of health care. Especially in older adults, the self-management chronic diseases by might become care services.The aim this explorative study was to investigate prevalence app use and related demographic factors, as well status among adults Germany.A nationwide postal survey conducted. Of 5000 individuals contacted, a total 576 participants completed survey. On basis their self-indicated assignment one three predefined user groups...
Extramedullary and intramedullary implants have improved in recent years, although consensus is lacking concerning the definition classification of unstable intertrochanteric fractures, with uncertainties regarding treatment.
To evaluate the biomechanical performance of Femoral Neck System (FNS) versus Hansson Pin (Hansson Pins) with two parallel pins in a Pauwels II femoral neck fracture model posterior comminution.Forty-degree fractures AO 31-B2.1 15° wedge were simulated fourteen paired fresh-frozen human femora, followed by instrumentation either FNS or Pins pair-matched fashion. Implant positioning was quantified measuring shortest implant distances to inferior cortex (DI) and (DP) on anteroposterior axial...
The exponential growth of image-based diagnostic and minimally invasive interventions requires a detailed three-dimensional anatomical knowledge increases the demand towards undergraduate curriculum. This randomized controlled trial investigates whether musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) or arthroscopic methods can increase uptake. Second-year medical students were randomly allocated to three groups. In addition compulsory dissection course, group was taught by eight, didactically...
Background Technical advancements have produced many challenges to intramedullary implants for unstable pertrochanteric fractures. Helical blade fixation of the femoral head has theoretical advantages higher rotational stability and cutout resistance should a lower rate reoperation than locked plating technique. Questions/purposes We asked whether (1) helical nailing reduces within 24 months compared with (2) any various preoperative, intraoperative, or postoperative factors predicted...
Fall incidents are a major problem for patients and healthcare. The "Aachen Prevention App" (AFPA) represents the first mobile Health (mHealth) application (app) empowering older (persons 50+ years) to self-assess monitor their individual fall risk. Self-assessment is based on Scale," which consists of three steps. First, answer ten standardized yes-no questions (positive criterion ≥ 5 "Yes" responses). Second, ten-second test free standing without compensatory movement performed criterion:...
Background and objectives: In oral maxillofacial operations, the iliac crest is a commonly used donor site from which to harvest bone for augmentation prior dental implantation or reconstruction of jaw defects caused by trauma pathological lesions. an aging society, proportion elderly patients undergoing grafting growing. Although postoperative morbidity usually moderate low, age health patient should be considered as risk factors complications delayed mobilization after operation. The aim...
Background and Objectives: Osteoporotic fractures in the thoracic/lumbar spine pose significant challenges surgical management, with high risks of complications. This study investigates role preoperative CT scans Hounsfield Units (HUs) predicting postoperative outcomes. Materials Methods: A retrospective was conducted from November 2015 to January 2018. Sixty-one patients over 60 years age unstable osteoporotic thoracolumbar (OF: 3–4) were included. Preoperative performed measure HU values....
Background and purpose Thoracic trauma remains to be a relevant injury the polytraumatised patient. However, literature regarding how far changes in clinical guidelines for pre- in-hospital management diagnostic procedures affect outcome of multiple injured patients with severe chest during long-term observation period is sparse. Methods Multiple traumatised (age≥16y) documented TraumaRegister DGU® (TR-DGU) from January 1st 2005 December 31st 2014 (AIS≥3) were included this study....
The objectives of this prospective randomized trial were to assess the impact Peyton's four-step approach on acquisition complex psychomotor skills and examine influence gender learning outcomes. We randomly assigned 95 third fifth year medical students an intervention group which received instructions according Peyton (PG) or a control group, conventional teaching (CG). Both groups attended four sessions principles manual therapy specific manipulative diagnostic techniques for spine....
The dynamic hip screw (DHS) often shows a high incidence of therapeutic failure and an impared outcome in the treatment unstable pertrochanteric femur fracture (31A2). Therefore intramedullary device is recommended. In retrospective clinical study we examined whether percutaneous compression plate (PCCP, Gotfried) provides advantages following fractures comparison to DHS PFN.From January 2002 April 2007 135 patients with underwent internal fixation PCCP (n = 46, age 78.3, ASA 2.8), 36, 75.9,...
To evaluate the influence of calcium phosphate cement augmentation on failure locking plate fixation proximal humeral fracture in a cadaveric model.A 5-mm wedge osteotomy was created each 11 paired fresh-frozen human humeri (age > 65 years). Specimens were randomly assigned to receive either locked (group 1) or with 2). Constructs tested for axial stiffness, load failure, and mode using material testing machine.Cement-augmented specimens resisted higher loads (1936 ± 609 N) comparison...
The incidence of falls in the elderly population is difficult to determine and therefore potentially underestimated. Screening algorithms usually have common that evaluation undertaken by trained individuals a hospital setting. This leads inclusion high proportion low-risk people waste resources. It would be advantageous pretest at risk their own environment using simple self-assessment approach. consensus process our group clinicians physical therapists included: 1. preparative literature...
