Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a common consequence of urogynecologic surgery. In this study, we retrospectively assessed the rate POUR and identified risk factors for development after mid-urethral sling placement with without pelvic reconstructive Eight hundred sixty-six women urodynamic stress incontinence who underwent transobturator (TOT) single-incision (SIS) placement, or concomitant procedure, were included in study. evaluations from study reviewed both subjectively...
Abstract Introduction: The purpose of this study is to estimate the proportion oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) attributable Human Papillomavirus (HPV) in Singapore across two different time periods (2008-2011 and 2018-2021). Experimental procedures: This non-interventional, cross-sectional involves retrospective analysis pre-treatment OPSCC tissue samples under General Hospital (SGH) after obtaining institutional ethics approval. Retrospective biobank records primary patients...
The increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders necessitates the development precise and user-friendly tools in physiotherapy to improve rehabilitation outcomes. Traditional methods for determining Angle Pull (AOP) locating resistance points clinical settings often lack accuracy accessibility. To address this issue, study introduces Assist (A²) device, aimed at enhancing precision effectiveness exercises by accurately identifying point where line pull generates maximal muscle torque....
ObjectivesPain sensitization could be a risk factor for poor outcomes after knee replacement surgery (KR) osteoarthritis (KOA). We aimed to evaluate the association between pre-operative central and peripheral pain measured using digital pressure algometer KR outcomes.MethodsConsecutive patients with severe KOA listed were recruited. Sociodemographic symptoms data collected prior surgery. Pre-operative thresholds (PPTs) at index forearm. Patient satisfaction 6 12 months was assessed 4-point...
Summary Facet joint injections are generally safe to perform with a low incidence of adverse events. There few published reports neurological complications occurring following procedures at the facet or cervical epidural space. However, from local anaesthetic infiltration skin and surrounding tissue have not been reported. We report case transient tetraplegia after in preparation for injection. discuss potential reasons this complication suggest practice modifications which could reduce risk.
Physically sedentary and overweight nurses appear to be less credible in inculcating healthy behaviour among patients. Shift-work has been shown promote physical inactivity, whilst sedentarism strongly correlates with a high body mass index (BMI). We aim determine the level of activity hospital different work schedules, i.e. shift-work day-work; explore any associations between nurses’ demographic backgrounds, BMI, schedules their level. This cross-sectional study design was employed. The...
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest and death (SCA/D) remains the leading cause of mortality among athletes. Contemporary standards identifying normal physiological adaptations remodeling from regular athletic training based on certain ECG morphology have been clearly defined by ‘Seattle Criteria’ in 2012, with an updated ‘International Consensus’ 2017. In heterogenous Asia, regional SCA/D preponderance data is still lacking. This study aims to report detection potentially dangerous...
Abstract Aims This study aimed to compare outcomes of open surgical release versus ultrasound-guided and anatomical landmark-guided percutaneous techniques for trigger finger treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic (year 2020-2022) at a single centre in Malaysia. Methods A retrospective review was conducted 44 patients (94 digits) who underwent (OS, n=52 digits), (UPR, n=30 or (APR, n=12 from 2020-2022. Outcomes assessed included post-operative pain, triggering recurrence, time return...
Tenosynovial giant cell tumour is a benign lesion which presence in the infrapatellar fat pad uncommon. Herein, we report unique case of young female patient who presented with loose body sensation at knee. Surgery revealed localized swelling was treated an open excisional biopsy mass. Diagnosis confirmed by histopathological examination.
This case report discusses a sudden forearm swelling in an otherwise healthy elderly female, which was initially thought to be malignant following clinical examination and imaging studies. An incisional biopsy showed native bursal tissue – bicipitoradial bursitis. Diagnosing bursitis is challenging due its intrinsic anatomical rarity. Nevertheless, merely performing radiological may not adequately confirm the diagnosis since some of characteristic changes are similar other pathologies such...
