Objective To estimate the risk of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)–based structural changes in knee osteoarthritis (OA) among individuals with meniscal tear and OA, using MRIs obtained at baseline 18 60 months after randomization a randomized controlled trial arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) versus physical therapy (PT). Methods We used data from Meniscal Tear Osteoarthritis Research (METEOR) trial. were read MRI OA Knee Score (MOAKS). linear mixed‐effects models to examine...
Police tutoring, to date, has received little attention from researchers and what research currently exists points a system that is largely failing. The current was undertaken in response range of concerns including those relating the impact on tutoring new underpinning educational framework (Policing Education Qualifications Framework) substantial increase police recruitment (Police Uplift Programme). unique it explores these challenges through context different delivery models. data upon...
Parasites are commonly cited as one of the causes population declines for both managed and wild bees. Epidemiological models sometimes assume that increasing proportion infected individuals in a group should increase transmission. However, social insects exhibit behaviors traits which can dampen link between parasite pressure disease spread. Understanding patterns transmission within colonies bees has important implications how to control diseases those colonies, potentially broader...
Intraarticular (IA) injections are used frequently for knee osteoarthritis (OA), but little is known about patients' attitudes toward these therapies. We aimed to better understand perceptions of the facilitators and barriers IA OA.We conducted a qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study held focus groups individual interviews with participants OA, including some who had not received injections. thematic analysis identify themes describing factors that found influential when deciding...
We examined the cost-effectiveness of treatment strategies for concomitant meniscal tear and knee osteoarthritis (OA) involving arthroscopic partial meniscectomy surgery physical therapy (PT).We used Osteoarthritis Policy Model, a validated Monte Carlo microsimulation, to compare three strategies, 1) PT-only, 2) immediate surgery, 3) PT + optional participants whose pain persists following initial PT. modeled cohort with baseline tear, OA, demographics from Meniscal Tear in Research (MeTeOR)...
Several current and many emerging osteoarthritis (OA) treatments are intraarticular (IA) injections; however, little is known about physicians' perceptions beliefs regarding IA injections or their considerations when deciding whether to recommend them patients. We aimed investigate physician-perceived benefits drawbacks of offering injections.We conducted individual interviews with orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, physiatrists who treat patients knee OA. a thematic analysis identify...
Desflurane has the highest 100-year global warming potential (GWP100) of all inhaled anaesthetic agents [1]. The standard NHS contract requires Trusts “to reduce carbon impacts from … environmentally damaging gases such as nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases”, “[reduce] proportion desflurane to volatile used in surgery 5% or less by volume” [2]. An increasing number are withdrawing desflurane. Following withdrawal summer 2022, our hospital needs return vaporisers drug manufacturer (D-Vapor...
