Background: Due to the rapid spread of coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), most patients expressed a reluctance undergo postoperative rehabilitation at clinic. Therefore, in this scenario it was necessary reshape crucial role these patients. We conducted telerehabilitation program based on an artificial intelligence brace (AI brace) which can monitor progress through app and internet server. Our hypothesis that home-based might provide clinical outcomes comparable face-to-face, hospital-based...
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness Marrow stimulation (MS) versus biphasic scaffold loaded with autologous cartilage (Scaffold) in treating focal osteochondral lesions knee.Methods54 patients symptomatic chondral or lesion knee were randomized either Scaffold group MS group. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective score, Injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) assessed preoperatively, at one two...
Haglund's deformity, which is characterized by a bony prominence of the posterosuperior aspect calcaneus, causes posterior heel pain. To date, there no standard radiographic parameter to diagnose symptomatic deformity. Herein, we proposed novel measurements distinguish between patients with and without deformity.We retrospectively evaluated ankle radiographs 43 who underwent surgery for deformity (Haglund group) 41 healthy individuals (control free complaints. Fowler-Phillip angle (FPA),...
: The relationship of antipsychotics and the risk refracture in treated patients is unclear. aim this study to evaluate association between prolonged antipsychotic incidences bone fractures refractures schizophrenia.This a retrospective nested case-control using Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database recorded from 2000 2005, with cases followed up end 2011. Total 7,842 schizophrenic patients, 3,955 had developed were compared 3,887 control subjects matched age, sex, index date....
This study investigated the differences in ankle alignment changes after TKA patients with varying preexisting deformities. We retrospectively examined 90 knees osteoarthritis and varus deformity 78 who underwent TKA. Preoperative postoperative radiographic parameters were analyzed. According to their deformity, assigned valgus or group. Overall, 14 (15.6%) cases of preoperative deformity; remainder deformity. Hip–knee–ankle angle (HKA), tibial plafond–ground (PGA), talus–ground (TGA) all...
Purpose: Maintaining gap balance is critical for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to elucidate if the extension–flexion gaps would be changed with posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) intact (PI) and PCL resection (PR) during TKA. The flexion were measured using two methods, open-(Fo) closed-chain position (Fc), based on definition of kinetic chain position, respectively. Methods: retrospective enrolled a 33 patients who underwent posterior-stabilized (PS) TKA symptomatic...
We fabricated PCR chips of different metal film thicknesses. The machine with/without top heater and the single-side/double-side were compared. substrate was transparent COC (Cyclic Olefin Copolymers), gold on by evaporation without any adhesive layer. Then results after polymerase chain reaction for DNA Escherichia coli TG-1 cell obtained. concentrations amplifying 225 bps 0.78–0.82 ng/μl (64% result machine).
Electrolyte–insulator–semiconductor (EIS) sensors, used in applications such as pH sensing and sodium ion sensing, are the most basic type of ion-sensitive field-effect transistor (ISFET) membranes. Currently, some popular techniques for synthesizing sensors chemical vapor deposition, reactive sputtering sol-gel deposition. However, there certain limitations on techniques, reliability concerns isolation problems. In this research, a novel design an EIS membrane consisting optical material...
Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer is an effective surgery in treating insertional Achilles tendinopathy (IAT). However, limited data exist regarding the post-surgery changes transferred FHL. The study aimed to compare sequential and hypertrophy of FHL after isolated (FHLT). We retrospectively enrolled patients who underwent FHLT for pathology from 2015 2020 divided them into two groups based on whether reattachment residue stump was performed or not. recorded demographic characteristics,...
