Anterior dislocation in a total knee arthroplasty: A case report and literature review.
2015
Dislocations of a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are an uncommon injury and only few cases of anterior dislocations have been reported. We report a rare case of anterior dislocation of a 10-year-old posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty in a 74-year-old woman. The patient was successfully treated by close reduction of the dislocation followed by immobilization in full extension with a long leg cast. Because of a high risk of neurovascular complications, a high index of suspicion for vascular injury must be maintained. For this reason, a proper diagnosis is required and immediate reduction is recommended.
Upper Limb Interventions.
2019
Ultrasound has been reported to be a quick, cheap, and effective imaging modality to guide the interventional procedures in the musculoskeletal system. The use of ultrasound results in increased accuracy of needle placement associated with a reduction of complications. In the upper limb, ultrasound-guided procedures are applied to joints and soft tissues around the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and hand. This article reviews the clinical and technical aspects of the most common procedures performed in this anatomic area.
The effect of cement fixation on initial micromotion of the femoral component in condylar knee replacement
1992
Four fresh, cadaveric specimens were fitted with total knee replacements and mounted on a knee joint loading and measuring rig. Femoral component micromotion in the sagittal plane was measured with a transducer during flexion and extension of the specimen. Various condylar designs were used without and with cement. Movement followed a characteristic curve pattern and was less with cement fixation particularly for bone of low trabecular strength as determined by bone sample tests for stiffness. Cement fixation appears to be superior to cementless fixation.
THE APPLICATION OF NEEDLE RADIOFREQUENCY FOR THE REDUCTION OF ACNE SCARS: A CASE STUDY.
2019
Background: Acne fulminans can leaveunsightly scars that can have a detrimental effect on a person’s ability to function in society, resulting in a deterioration in the overall quality of life of these patients. Scientific research shows that problems with self-esteemmay lower a person’s quality of life, making them reluctant to interact with other people.This, in turn, may lead to depression and, in extreme cases, to suicide. For people who suffer from acne fulminans, this is an extremely serious problem.This is compounded by the fact that even if they spend much of their life fighting acne, ultimately successfully, they still may be left with the visual effects of the disease, like scars.…
Association between spinal disorders and different domains of physical activity among young adult men
2022
BackgroundThere is limited evidence of how physical activity (PA) associates with low back pain (LBP) and neck pain (NP). Particularly, the association between occupational or commuting PA and LBP/NP is unclear. The aim of the present cross-sectional study was to investigate the association between spinal disorders and different physical activity domains in young and healthy adult men.MethodsSelf-reported leisure time, occupational and commuting PA, as well as LBP and NP, were studied using questionnaires among young Finnish males (n = 1,630). Logistic regression analysis was used to study the associations of PA domains, physical fitness, and spinal disorders. Regression models were adjuste…
Impact of Obesity in Kidney Diseases.
2021
The clinical consequences of obesity on the kidneys, with or without metabolic abnormalities, involve both renal function and structures. The mechanisms linking obesity and renal damage are well understood, including several effector mechanisms with interconnected pathways. Higher prevalence of urinary albumin excretion, sub-nephrotic syndrome, nephrolithiasis, increased risk of developing CKD, and progression to ESKD have been identified as being associated with obesity and having a relevant clinical impact. Moreover, renal replacement therapy and kidney transplantation are also influenced by obesity. Losing weight is key in limiting the impact that obesity produces on the kidneys by reduc…

Are gut hormones responsible for the decrease of appetitive behaviour for sweet and fatty foods after gastric bypass surgery?
2013
WOS: 000321389200211; International audience; Introduction: Gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) decreases preference for sweet and fatty foods, but the underlying mechanism is not known. This study aimed to investigate the role of the exaggerated satiety gut hormone release on appetitive reward of sweet and fatty taste after RYGB. Method: 13 patients that have undergone previous RYGB surgery (>6 months) and 13 normal weight controls participated in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial comparing the effect of subcutaneous injections of somatostatin analogue (octreotide) which blocks satiety gut hormone responses, and saline (control) on the appetitive reward value of sweet-fat candies. Appetiti…
Medicina perioperatoria individualizada en cirugía oncológica
2021
Se define la Medicina perioperatoria como la asistencia integral, multidisciplinar y centrada en el paciente desde la indicación de un proceso quirúrgico hasta su recuperación completa. Estos tres conceptos permiten sinérgicamente obtener una asistencia de calidad y mejores resultados. El objetivo de esta tesis ha sido plasmar este nuevo modo de entender la atención médica perioperatoria a través varios proyectos de investigación. Se han agrupado en cuatro bloques principales: estrategia individualizada de neumoperitoneo, ventilación mecánica y bloqueo neuromuscular en cirugía laparoscópica, y la estrategia analgésica en cirugía oncológica. Bloque 1: Estrategia individualizada de neumoperit…
