Performance of established test methods in diagnosing persistent infection at the second stage of a two-stage procedure for periprosthetic hip and knee infections

Bone & Joint Open
Aims: This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of serum parameters, synovial fluid analysis, tissue and sonication fluid cultures, and histology to identify persistent infection, and to predict reinfection at reimplantation of two-stage ...

A 92 protein inflammation panel performed on sonicate fluid differentiates periprosthetic joint infection from non-infectious causes of arthroplasty failure

Scientific Reports, 2022
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a major complication of total joint arthroplasty, typically necessitating surgical intervention and prolonged antimicrobial therapy. Currently, there is no perfect assay for PJI diagnosis.

Conductive Tin Oxide Under the Thermal Budget of Perovskite/TOPCon Tandems: Toward Indium‐Free Contacts

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that achieving conductive undoped SnOx contacts required careful tailoring of oxygen vacancy (VO) tuning and defect engineering. Controlling oxygen deposition pressure and low‐temperature annealing (300°C) optimizes defect stoichiometry and mitigates carrier scattering. This low thermal budget approach significantly enhances Hall

Imaging modalities demonstrate moderate and heterogeneous diagnostic accuracy for periprosthetic joint infection: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose The diagnostic accuracy of imaging modalities in periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) remains uncertain. This study assessed and compared the performance of different imaging techniques for diagnosing PJI. Methods A systematic review and meta‐analysis of studies published in PubMed and Embase (1 January 2000 to 1 March 2024) was ...
