Abstract

Primary goals of the study were to present the mid - to long - term survivorship and clinical, radiological and metal serological results of the first stem - navigated ASR™ resurfacing at our clinic. Secondary goals were to determine the influence of stem - navigation on the outcome and risk factors for revision in our cohort. From Mai 2006 to Mai 2009 46 ASR™ resurfacing hip systems have been implanted in 43 patients with a median age of 55 years. At final follow - up (33 patients with a mean follow -up of 89,6 months) guidelines were followed and HHS and HOOS were completed. Inclination, NSA and SSA were measured on radiographs and signs of loosening were graded. Risk factors for revision were compared in the non - revision and revision group. Mean cumulative survival of the prosthesis after 99,9 Months was 81,8%. At final follow - up 8 revisions were performed. Median HHS was 97, HOOS was 87,2. Four prostheses showed signs of loosening and nine heterotopic ossifications. All shaft components, except one, were placed in minimal valgus position to avoid risk for fracture. Age and diameter of the femoral component were significantly different between the non - revision and revision group. Survivorship is comparable to numbers f...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
