Prospective insights into tibial stems, cemented versus uncemented in primary total knee arthroplasty: A dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The durability and effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) depend on secure implant fixation and efficient bone integration. While cemented tibial components provide immediate mechanical stability, the addition of a short stem may be indicated in selected cases to enhance fixation. However, the stem does not allow for biological

Preserved Thermoregulation in Huntington's Disease: Insights from an Observational Case–Control Study

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Thermoregulation is critical for preventing hyperthermia during physical activity. In Huntington's disease (HD), research on possible thermoregulatory alterations has received little attention. Objectives We aimed to investigate and compare skin temperature differences before and after exercise between HD patients and healthy ...

Assessment of Adiposity in Patients with Psoriasis and its Correlation with Disease Severity: A Case-Control Study

Indian Dermatology Online Journal
Background: Psoriasis and obesity are known to share many mediators of inflammation with each other such as TNF-α and IL-6. Obesity, being a low-grade inflammatory state, is known to affect the disease course, severity, predisposition, and response to ...

Association Between Industrialized Dietary Pattern and Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Children With FTO RS9939609 Gene Polymorphism

Molecular Nutrition &Food Research, EarlyView.
This study examined how dietary patterns affect health in children aged 4–7 years, especially in the presence of the fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene polymorphism. Researchers found that children with FTO gene polymorphism who ate more industrialized foods had higher risks of health problems and cardiometabolic risk with higher values of the ...

Calf circumference predicts sarcopenia and all‐cause mortality in older patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: A prospective cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The role of calf circumference (CC) in predicting sarcopenia and mortality of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains debated. This study assessed CC's predictive value, optimal threshold, and mortality association in older patients undergoing MHD. Methods An observational cohort study was conducted on older adult
