Measurement of skeletal muscle using ultrasonography (US) has received considerable attention as an alternative method assessment. However, intra- and inter-rater reliability remains controversial. Furthermore, there is no consensus regarding the relationship between assessment US mass or physical We aimed to verify validity measurements its relationships with strength assessment.The 22 participants were all healthy men. Quadriceps thickness was measured by three different raters. Intraclass...
Objectives Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasingly performed to alleviate pain and improve function in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis. This study aimed evaluate the gait characteristics of TAA using a motion sensor-based system investigate relationship between postoperative parameters. Methods cross-sectional included at least three months post-TAA. The evaluated parameters sex, age, period, dorsiflexion/plantarflexion range (ROM) ankle. Gait analysis was six-axis inertial...
Aims Cementless unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) has advantages over cemented UKA, including improved fixation, but a higher risk of tibial plateau fracture, particularly in Japanese patients. The aim this multicentre study was to determine when cementless components could safely be used patients based on the size and shape tibia. Methods involved 212 Oxford UKAs which were undertaken 174 six hospitals. medial eminence line (MEL), is parallel axis passing through tip intercondylar...
Continuous local antibiotic perfusion (CLAP) has recently attracted attention as a new drug delivery system for orthopaedic infections. CLAP is direct continuous infusion of high-concentration gentamicin (1,200 μg/ml) into the bone marrow. As it system, its influence on marrow unknown. This study aimed to examine effects antibiotics human tissue-derived cells.
Tibial fracture after cementless Oxford unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (OUKA) is a rare but serious complication. It reported more frequently in Asian countries. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the morphological characteristics tibia by using simple novel measurement method patients with tibial fractures OUKA.Six knees (all women) OUKA (fracture group) and 150 without an obvious complication (control were examined retrospectively at our institution between January 2016...
BACKGROUND Machine perfusion techniques offer a solution to the serious organ shortage. However, assess effects of machine perfusion, many detailed studies are required. In this study, an ex vivo reperfusion model using diluted autologous blood was confirmed evaluate utility preservation for livers donated after cardiac death (DCD). particular, beneficial oxygenated hypothermic (HMP) DCD porcine evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS Porcine were procured under warm ischemia time (WIT) 60 min. The...
The recent clinical application of perfusion technology for the machine preservation donation after cardiac death (DCD) grafts has some advantages. Oxygenation been proposed DCD liver grafts. aim this study is to clarify whether use HbV-containing solution during subnormothermic (SNMP) graft improves function porcine livers in an ex vivo reperfusion model. Pig were excised 60 minutes warm ischemic time and preserved under one three conditions 4 hours. as follows: 4°C cold storage (CS group;...
BACKGROUND Split-liver transplantation can be useful in situations of limited donor resources. However, novel preservation methods are required to help the recipient recover from severe ischemic reperfusion injury incurred due receiving a relatively small liver graft. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our experiment was performed using porcine livers without warm ischemia time, assuming brain-dead organ. We made split-liver grafts by 75% resection at back table and divided specimens into 4 groups. Group...
Abstract Sufficient dose reduction may not be achieved if radioprotective curtains are folded. This study aimed to evaluate the scattered rate distribution and physician eye lens at different curtain lengths. Using an over-couch fluoroscopy system, d H *(10)/d t was measured using a survey meter 150 cm from floor 29 positions in examination room when lengths were 0% (no curtain), 50%, 75%, 100%. The absorbed rates air of endoscopist assistant calculated Monte Carlo simulation by varying...
Abstract The interconnected structures in a 3D scaffold allows the movement of cells and nutrients. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate in-vivo bioactivity 3D-printed β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) hydroxyapatite (HAP) scaffolds that replicate biological bone. This included 24-week-old male New Zealand white rabbits. A cylindrical bone defect with diameter 4.5 mm depth 8 was created lateral aspect distal femur. implanted right femur (experimental side), whereas left kept free...
Background and Objectives: Bone metastasis cancer boards (BMCBs) focusing on the management of bone metastases have been gathering much attention. However, association BMCBs with spinal surgery in patients remains unclear. In this retrospective single-center observational study, we aimed to clarify effect a BMCB treatment. Materials Methods: We reviewed consecutive cases posterior decompression and/or instrumentation for metastatic tumors from 2008 2019. The involved team specialists...
Introduction Diabetes mellitus (DM) negatively affects fracture repair by inhibiting endochondral ossification, chondrogenesis, callus formation, and angiogenesis. We previously reported that transcutaneous CO 2 application accelerates promoting ossification The present study aimed to determine whether treatment would promote in cases with type I DM. Research design methods A closed femoral shaft was induced female rats streptozotocin-induced performed five times a week for the group. Sham...
Increased long-term impairment is common among intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. However, predictors of activities daily living (ADL) in ICU survivors are poorly understood. We aimed to focus on the trajectory physical function and explore clinical variables that affect ADL at hospital discharge.We enrolled 411 patients admitted from April 2018 October 2020. Physical was evaluated admission, discharge, discharge. assessed (grip strength, arm calf circumference, quadriceps thickness,...
Objectives: The effectiveness of acute rehabilitation treatment for severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not yet been established. This study examined the efficacy provided to patients with COVID-19 in an care facility.
: Changes in activities of daily living (ADL) and quality life (QOL) patients with bone metastasis who underwent surgical treatment through Bone Metastasis Cancer Boards (BMCBs), a recent multidisciplinary approach for managing metastases, have been reported; however, no reports exist on undergo conservative treatment. In this study, we aimed to evaluate these patients' ADL QOL examine the factors influencing changes parameters.
