We investigated factors that were thought to be associated with an increased incidence of squeaking ceramic-on-ceramic total hip replacements. Between June 1997 and December 2008 the three senior authors implanted 2406 primary replacements a bearing surface. The mean follow-up was 10.6 years. diagnosis osteoarthritis in each case, no patient had undergone previous surgery hip. identified 74 hips (73 patients) giving 3.1% at 9.5 years (4.1 13.3). Taller, heavier younger patients significantly...
The outcome of total hip replacement (THR) is potentially affected by the body mass index (BMI) patient. We studied 2026 consecutive primary cementless THRs performed for osteoarthritis. mean follow-up was 6.3 years (0 to 11.71) and no patient lost survival analysis. patients were divided into two groups according their BMI as follows: non-obese (BMI < 30 kg/m(2)) obese > or = kg/m(2)). undergoing surgery found be significantly younger (p 0.001). log-rank test equality showed difference in...
Abstract Current osteochondral (OC) defect repair approaches using premade scaffolds face clinical limitations due to invasiveness, weak integrity, and/or insufficient interfacial bonding. An injectable hydrophobic laminous adhesive is developed that rapidly photocross‐link subaqueously and forms robust bi‐layered structure orchestrates biophysical‐chemical cues for stimulating OC repair. Liquid photo‐cross‐linkable poly (lactide‐co‐propylene glycol‐co‐lactide) dimethacrylates (P m L n DMA)...
Background: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Timely and adequate rehabilitation crucial for post-stroke recovery, but access limited due to an overburdened healthcare system, medical personnel shortages, insurance barriers. Rehabilitation especially stroke survivors in rural low-income regions. Innovative solutions like telerehabilitation are needed expand access. This study examines current practices, costs, global models, as well barriers utilization. Methods:...
Although Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccinations are generally recommended for persons with epilepsy (PwE), a significant vaccination gap remains due to patient concerns over the risk of post-vaccination seizure aggravation (PVSA). In this single-centre, retrospective cohort study, we aimed determine early (7-day) and delayed (30-day) PVSA, identify clinical predictors PVSA among PwE. Adult patients aged ≥18 years without history COVID-19 infection were recruited from specialty...
Extracranial-intracranial bypass is an effective treatment option for moyamoya disease and in well-selected cases of anterior circulation intracranial atherosclerotic disease; however, the effectiveness less evident posterior atherosclerosis. Updated surgical techniques clinical guidelines necessitate modern appraisal arterial symptomatic patients with who are refractory to medical management.To evaluate complications, graft patency, postoperative outcomes disease.Perioperative records...
Background Carotid artery stenting is associated with a higher rate of stroke compared to carotid endarterectomy (CEA). This likely due procedural emboli resulting from plaque disruption. The transcarotid revascularization (TCAR) method aims reduce the by flow-reversal. TCAR, which has yet be utilized for intracranial atherosclerotic disease (ICAD), may particularly valuable given lack surgical treatment options arterial stenosis. Objective Presented here are five cases angioplasty or that...
BACKGROUND: Managing intraoperative aneurysm rupture (IAR) during intracranial clipping can be challenging given the excessive hemorrhage and limited field of view under microscope for visualizing proximal artery safe temporary clipping. OBJECTIVE: To describe first known use robotic arm safeguarding IAR in microsurgical METHODS: A was used to safeguard 3 cases (1 pericallosal 2 middle cerebral artery) performed by a single surgeon. The device installed onto side rail operating table along...
Timely and adequate rehabilitation is critical in facilitating post-stroke recovery. However, the organization delivery of are resource-demanding, only available to approximately 25% stroke survivors low-to-middle-income countries. Improving access services through innovative solutions therefore urgently required. Tele-rehabilitation, which transits care home- community settings, has emerged as a promising solution. current approaches using video tutorial, teleconference, or other...
Intracranial aneurysm clipping is a complex surgical procedure with the looming complication of intraoperative rupture. It can be difficult to control ruptured when this rare but devastating event occurs, given limited field view under microscope, excessive hemorrhage, and need visualize proximal artery for safe temporary clipping. Presented here first known use robotic arm as protective device against rupture (IAR). Two cases are detailed in which was initially dissected M1 branch clip...
We report the effect of a 6-week outpatient (phase II) cardiac rehabilitation in 38-year-old man with post-stented coarctation aorta, moyamoya disease and hypertension. The programme comprised physiotherapist-guided aerobic exercises, resistance training relaxation exercises. Clinical functional assessment was performed before after programme.There is lack recommendations to guide patients aorta. This case not only had but also A surgery provided meaningful improvements all outcomes,...
