Abstract

Total hip replacement has been advocated for the treatment of degenerative hip diseases secondary to slipped capital femoral epiphysis; nonetheless, outcomes of this procedure have not been well established. We reviewed the outcomes of modern total hip replacements in patients who suffered from slipped capital femoral epiphysis. A retrospective study was carried out on 32 total hip replacements performed on 28 patients who suffered from slipped capital femoral epiphysis from August 1994 to January 2007. The average age at the time of surgery was 45 years. Clinical evaluation was performed using the Harris Hip Score, radiographic assessment measuring cup and stem orientation, the extent of osteolysis around the implant, and leg length discrepancy. The average follow-up was 98 months (range 25-204 months). Two total hip replacements failed, one for stem aseptic loosening and the other for modular neck failure. The cumulative survival rate at 9 years was 92.8 %. If the end point was revision for implant loosening, the survival rate improved to 96.8 % at 9 years. The only complication recorded was an intraoperative fracture of the lesser trochanter immediately treated with cerclage wire. At the latest follow-up, the Harris Hip Scor...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.
