Leukocyte esterase strip test as a reliable intraoperative PJIs biomarker. Our experience.

Acta bio-medica : Atenei Parmensis, 2019
ackgroud and aim of work: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most common cause of total knee replacement failure and the third most common cause of total hip replacement failure, accounting for 16.8% of all knee revisions and 14.8% of the hip revisions; nevertheless, the diagnosis of PJI is often a challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. The aim of

Randomized Kaczmarz for Rank Aggregation from Pairwise Comparisons

, 2016
We revisit the problem of inferring the overall ranking among entities in the framework of Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model, based on available empirical data on pairwise preferences. By a simple transformation, we can cast the problem as that of solving a

New Innovations in the Treatment of PJI and Biofilms—Clinical and Preclinical Topics [PDF]

Current Reviews in Musculoskeletal Medicine, 2018
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication after total joint replacement. A main source for antibiotic tolerance and treatment failure is bacterial production of biofilm-a resilient barrier against antibiotics, immune system, and mechanical debridement.

Diagnostic Value of Next‐Generation Sequencing in Periprosthetic Joint Infection: A Systematic Review

Orthopaedic Surgery, 2022
Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has developed rapidly in the last decade and is emerging as a promising diagnostic tool for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, its diagnostic value for PJI is still uncertain.
