SHORT SEGMENT FIXATION OF THORACOLUMBAR FRACTURES WITH PEDICLE FIXATION AT THE LEVEL OF THE FRACTURE

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2018
Thoracolumbar fractures are very frequent injuries, for both anatomical and biomechanical reasons. The most appropriate surgical treatment is still debatable. However, the main objectives are generally the restoration of segmental stability, correction of the deformity, decompression and protection of the neurological structures, and obtainment of ...

Home‐Based Tele‐tDCS in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Feasibility, Safety, and Preliminary Efficacy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with limited treatment options. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise as a neuromodulatory intervention in various neurological disorders, but its application in ALS, particularly in a remote, home‐based format, remains underexplored.

Longitudinal Relationship Between Pain and Depression in People With Inflammatory Arthritis: A Narrative Review

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
As many patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) have chronic pain, understanding how to best assess and manage pain in IA is a priority. Comorbid depression is prevalent in adults with IA, affecting 15% to 39% of people. Although pain and depression are thought to be associated in IA, this concept is largely based on cross‐sectional data.

Plate fixation versus titanium elastic nailing in midshaft clavicle fractures based on fracture classifications

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery, 2020
Background: The best strategy for implant selection in midshaft clavicular fractures (MCF) remains controversial. The present study aims to determine the optimal strategy for implant selection by comparing plate and Titanium Elastic Nail (TEN) with ...

Effects of Dalcroze Eurhythmics Exercise Versus Multicomponent Exercise on Physical and Cognitive Function, and Falls in Older Adults: The EPHYCOS Randomized Controlled Trial

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
In this randomized clinical trial conducted among 142 community‐dwelling older adults at high risk for falls over 12 months, a Dalcroze Eurhythmics exercise intervention (once weekly, group‐based) improved a variety of physical and cognitive/executive function outcomes compared with a multicomponent exercise intervention (twice weekly, group‐ and home ...

Multifunctional Design of Triply Periodic Minimal Surface Structures for Temporary Pediatric Fixation Devices

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A metallic implant's higher stiffness compared to the surrounding bone leads to stress shielding problems, causing bone density reduction and bone growth interference in pediatric patients. 3D‐printed triply periodic minimal surface structures present a promising engineering solution.

Interfacial Load Monitoring and Failure Detection in Total Joint Replacements via Piezoresistive Bone Cement and Electrical Impedance Tomography [PDF]

, 2019
Aseptic loosening, or loss of implant fixation, is a common complication following total joint replacement. Revision surgeries cost the healthcare system over $8 billion annually in the US. Despite the prevalence of aseptic loosening, timely and accurate detection remains a challenge because traditional imaging modalities such as plain radiographs ...

Percutaneous fixation of acetabular fractures

EFORT Open Reviews, 2018
The objective of surgery for acetabular fractures is to achieve precise reduction to restore joint congruence, fix internal bone fragments, avoid displacement of the fracture and allow rapid rehabilitation. Open reduction and internal fixation is the benchmark method for displaced acetabular fractures, but open reductions can increase morbidity ...
