➤ Clinically important outcome values allow physicians to provide patients with more realistic expectations regarding their treatment that are based on specific demographics. can vary for the same procedure or population depending method of calculation used, which raises need uniform ways calculate and compare these across populations procedures. A shift in approach from focusing solely significant outcomes, p values, considering both clinically outcomes will clinicians efficient care, line...
The effect of perioperative music listening has been proven to relieve preoperative anxiety and depression, while improving patient satisfaction. However, not extensively studied in Singapore. Therefore, the primary aim our study is investigate satisfaction towards local setting. secondary reducing surgery-related depression.After obtaining ethics board approval, we conducted a quasiexperimental on cohort female patients who were undergoing elective minor gynaecological surgeries. Apple iPod...
Background: Pseudomonas species are a less common but devastating pathogen family in prosthetic joint infections (PJIs). Despite advancements management, PJIs remain particularly difficult to treat because of limited antibiotic options and robust biofilm formation. This study aimed evaluate PJI outcomes at single institution review reported the current literature. Methods: All hip or knee with positive culture were evaluated. Forty-two patients (24 hips, 18 knees) meeting inclusion criteria...
Abstract Perioperative music decreases pain, anxiety, and analgesia requirements while increasing patient satisfaction. We investigated the acceptability of perioperative at a women’s children’s hospital in Singapore, seeking to uncover barriers facilitators implementation routine practice over 12-week period. used an undergraduate-led Rapid Qualitative Inquiry approach that includes data collection from multiple sources, iterative analysis, additional when necessary. Participants consisted...
A 57-year-old white woman developed autoimmune retinopathy (AIR) in both eyes associated with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Laboratory testing was positive for 68kDa (heat-shock protein) and 136kDa (human interstitial retinoid-binding protein). Extensive cancer screening negative. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography enhanced depth imaging demonstrated a markedly thickened choroid eyes. En face showed distinctive pattern of granular hyperreflective foveal dots. The concurrent...
Tap dance generates forces and joint motions that can lead to injury; however, little is known about the magnitude of load across different tap steps. The purpose this study was calculate peak vertical forces, average foot velocities, maximum/minimum ankle angles produced by dancers with levels experience performing toe cannon, heel flap, cramp roll. This prospective cross-sectional included 14 female aged ≥18 years varying experience. Participants were recorded three cameras while a...
To report an unusual case of bilateral recurrent full-thickness macular holes (FTMH) in both eyes a single patient over 15-year period, with total 3 FTMH the right eye and 2 left eye. Each was successfully treated vitreous surgery, resulting hole closure visual acuity improvement. During previous 15 years, 59-year-old female developed The initial each surgically closed pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), epiretinal membrane (ERM) peeling, 14% C3F8 gas placement, face down positioning.

Hand transplantation is a form of vascularized composite allotransplantation under clinical research, which presents novel therapy to amputation. Preparation for hand requires carefully selected candidate, an extensive preoperative workup, and organization large, multidisciplinary team robust research infrastructure, among others. Performing transplant involves complex coordination the teams from organ procurement recipient surgery. Postoperatively, recipients must undergo occupational...
Abstract Background Pseudomonas species are a less common but devastating pathogen family in prosthetic joint infections (PJI). Despite advancements management, PJI remains particularly difficult to treat due fewer antibiotic options and robust biofilm formation. The purpose of this study was better evaluate outcomes after treatment. Methods All hip or knee PJIs, at single institution, with positive culture were analyzed. 51 patients (29 hips 22 knees) meeting inclusion criteria identified....
Abstract Background Escherichia Coli (E coli) is a gram-negative rod that can cause devastating periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) in patients with total hip and knee replacements (THA/TKA). Minimal literature exists on outcomes of E coli PJIs. Methods Retrospective review our institution’s electronic medical record from 2009-2020 identified 21 met MusculoSkeletal Infection Society criteria for or PJI. Primary outcome was 1-year infection clearance - eradication off antibiotics no...
Abstract Background Enterobacter sp. is a gram-negative, often drug-resistant bacillus that classically identified from mucosal surfaces, such as pulmonary or urinary tracts. Despite its virulence, represents less common pathogen in prosthetic joint infections (PJI). This study aims to resolve the current paucity of described clinical characteristics and treatment success PJI. Methods Thirty-three patients with aerogenes-, cloaecae/asburiae-, hormachei-positive PJIs were at single...
