Preventive effect of risedronate on bone loss and frailty fractures in elderly women treated with anastrozole for early breast cancer.
2011
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of adjuvant anastrozole, alone or associated with risedronate, on BMD and bone fracture risk in women more than 70 years old with hormone receptor-positive early breast cancer (EBC). In a group of 51 elderly women (aged 76.4 ± 5.0 years) considered for adjuvant aromatase inhibitors for EBC, 24 patients with T-scores ≥ -2 and no prevalent fractures received anastrozole 1 mg/day (group A), and 27 patients with T-scores < -2, or with T-scores ≥ -2 and prevalent fractures (group B), received anastrozole (1 mg/day) plus risedronate (35 mg/week). Both groups received supplementation with 1 g calcium carbonate and 800 IU vitamin D per day. Differen…
The Length of Leukocyte and Femoral Artery Telomeres in Patients with Peripheral Atherosclerosis.
2022
The length of telomeres (TLs) that protect chromosome ends may reflect the age of cells as well as the degree of genetic material damage caused by external factors. Since leukocyte telomere length is associated with cardiovascular diseases, the aim of this study was to evaluate whether leukocyte TL reflects femoral artery wall telomeres of patients with atherosclerosis and lower limb ischemia. Samples of femoral artery wall and blood were collected from 32 patients qualified to surgical revascularization. The analysis included blood and artery wall telomere length measurement and biochemical parameters. The study indicated that there was a moderate correlation between artery wall TL and leu…
Experimental investigations about the stability of the spongiosa of the femoral head, a new angle plate in mind
1990
Im Hinblick auf den Trochanter-major-Abbruch bei und nach Winkelplattenosteosynthesen von pertrochanteren Frakturen wurde zu Versuchszwecken eine 130o-Winkelplatte mit lediglich 6 mm breitem Klingenprofil angefertigt, bei der das notwendige Knochenfenster die laterale Femurkortikalis weniger schwacht. Die Fragestellung war, ob diese Plattenklinge hinsichtlich der Tragfahigkeit des Osteosynthesesystems vergleichbar stabil in der Spongiosa des Huftkopfes verankert werden kann wie die herkommliche 130o-Winkelplatte. Dazu wurden an Knochenpraparaten vergleichende Druckbelastbarkeitsversuche, von pertrochanteren Osteotomien durchgefuhrt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, das die neuartige Klinge mit dem sc…
Extremitätenerhalt durch pedalen In-situ-Bypass beim diabetischen Fußsyndrom
2003
INTRODUCTION: Treatment of the ischemic diabetic foot syndrome still represents a medical and economic challenge. Contrary to the aims of the Saint Vincent declaration a dramatic reduction of major amputations in Germany was not noted, although in the diabetic patients the predominant type of tibial artery occlusion allows construction of pedal bypasses for limb salvage. METHOD: In patients with ischemic diabetic foot syndrome following angiographic evaluation of the ischemic limb, the indication for surgical revascularisation of patent pedal arteries was established. The in-situ technique was preferred in the presence of a suitable ipsilateral greater saphenous vein whenever possible. Reva…
Treatment of femoral pseudoaneurysm after vascular procedure. In: A multidisciplinary Approach to Cardiovascular Diseases

Localización exacta de la inserción femoral y medida de la distancia entre el punto de inserción femoral y patelar de la plastia de ligamento patelof…
2016
Introducción: La reconstrucción del ligamento patelofemoral medial (LPFM) es el procedimiento de elección en el tratamiento de los pacientes que sufren episodios de inestabilidad rotuliana lateral crónica. Sin embargo, se desconoce el punto exacto de fijación de la plastia del LPFM al fémur y los efectos en la clínica de una inserción femoral no anatómica. Objetivos: (1) Estudiar la biomecánica del injerto de LPFM reconstruido in vivo mediante imágenes 3D de Tomografía Computarizada (TC) a diferentes ángulos de flexión; (2) establecer la precisión de los métodos radiográficos de Schöttle y Stephen en la identificación del punto de fijación femoral de la plastia de LPFM tomando como referenc…
Validation of the German version of the Kujala score in patients with patellofemoral instability : a prospective multi-centre study
2017
Introduction: The Kujala score is the most frequently used questionnaire for patellofemoral disorders like pain, instability or osteoarthritis. Unfortunately, we are not aware of a validated German version of the Kujala score. The aim of our study was the translation and linguistic validation of the Kujala score in German-speaking patients with patella instability and the assessment of its measurement characteristics. Materials and methods: The German Kujala score was developed in several steps of translation. In addition to healthy controls, the Kujala German was assessed in consecutive patients undergoing reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament for recurrent patellar dislocat…
Lower-Extremity Blocks
1988
Operations on the lower extremities are commonly performed with either subarachnoid or epidural block. Although conduction anesthesia has a high rate of success and is relatively easy to perform, subarachnoid or epidural procedures may not be indicated for certain groups of patients, including the elderly, debilitated, arthritic, obese, or critically ill. With such patients, lowerextremity regional anesthesia can be accomplished by blocking the lumbosacral plexus or its branches.
Associations of physical activity intensities, impact intensities and osteogenic index with proximal femur bone traits among sedentary older adults
2021
Background Dynamic high-intensity physical activity is thought to be beneficial for older adults’ bone health. Traditional volume-based processing of accelerometer-measured physical activity data, quantified on a minute-per-minute basis, may average out sporadic high impact activity, whereas accelerometer data processing approaches based on identifying impacts can capture also these potentially beneficial short activity bursts. We investigated the associations between habitual physical activity and proximal femur bone traits among sedentary older adults utilizing three different numerical treatments of accelerometer-data to examine, if impact-based processing approaches are more suitable to…
Chronic exercise impairs nitric oxide pathway in rabbit carotid and femoral arteries
2018
KEY POINTS: Some of the beneficial effects of exercise in preventing vascular related diseases are mediated by the enhancement of endothelial function where the role of nitric oxide (NO) is well documented, although the relevance of calcium activated potassium channels is not fully understood. The impact of oxidative stress induced by training on endothelial function remains to be clarified. By evaluating different endothelial vasodilator pathways on two vascular beds in a rabbit model of chronic exercise, we found a decreased NO bioavailability and endothelial nitric oxide synthase expression in both carotid and femoral arteries. Physical training induced carotid endothelial dysfunction as…
