Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI).

The archives of bone and joint surgery
Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication that can occur after joint arthroplasty, significantly affecting both the healthcare system and patients due to high costs and mortality rates. Managing PJI is complex and presents significant challenges in orthopedic surgery because there is no standardized definition for PJI and no ...

Serum albumin-to-globulin ratio and CRP-to-albumin ratio did not outperform serum CRP in diagnosing periprosthetic joint infections

Bone & Joint Research
Aims: Serum inflammatory parameters are widely used to aid in diagnosing a periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Due to their limited performances in the literature, novel and more accurate biomarkers are needed.

Clinical characteristics and risk factors for culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2021
Background Culture-negative periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) can complicate diagnosis and management of PJI. This study aimed to identify risk factors for culture-negative PJI and differences in clinical characteristics between culture-positive and

Not all previous surgeries are the same: Procedure‐specific infection risk in total knee arthroplasty patients with a history of previous knee surgery

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose While patient‐level factors for prosthetic joint infections (PJIs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are well‐established, prior ipsilateral knee procedures are typically treated as a uniform risk factor despite likely variation in risk profile across procedure types.

Plasma p‐tau217 Versus p‐tau181 in Parkinson's Disease: Differential Associations with Alzheimer's Disease‐Related Neurostructural Changes and Cognitive Function

Movement Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Plasma phosphorylated‐tau at threonine‐217 (p‐tau217) and threonine‐181 (p‐tau181) are scalable, minimally invasive biomarkers of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. In Parkinson's disease (PD), AD co‐pathology may contribute to its clinical heterogeneity.

Primary hip or knee arthroplasty in the setting of chronic suppressive antibiotics for prior periprosthetic joint infection: a scoping review [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Joint Infection
Background: Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is an increasingly common intervention in the US, with an expected proportionate rise in periprosthetic joint infection (PJI).

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

What are the inpatient and day case costs following primary total hip replacement of patients treated for prosthetic joint infection: a matched cohort study using linked data from the National Joint Registry and Hospital Episode Statistics

BMC Medicine, 2020
Background Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total hip replacement (THR) surgery is a serious complication that negatively impacts patients’ lives and is financially burdensome for healthcare providers.

First results of a uniform regional treatment protocol and registration for acute prosthetic join infection in the South-East of the Netherlands [PDF]

Journal of Bone and Joint Infection, 2019
Introduction: Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a relatively uncommon (average incidence 0.5-2%) but devastating complication, with significant morbidity and leading to tremendously increased health care costs.

Larval Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) exhibit stronger developmental and physiological responses to temperature than to elevated pCO2

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract High‐latitude ecosystems are simultaneously warming and acidifying under ongoing climate change. Arctic cod (Boreogadus saida) are a key species in the Arctic Ocean and have demonstrated sensitivity to ocean warming and acidification as adults and embryos, but their larval sensitivity to the combined stressors is unknown. In a laboratory multi‐
