Filter by:Patients with posterior calcaneal deformity may presented by many clinical data associated with retrocalcaneal bursitis which occurs due to the deformity this clinical complaining include pain and swelling in the back of the heel. Many treatment choices available of this deformity with low level of response to conservative treatment which includes medical treatment , physiotherapy and corticosteroids injection. surgical treatment in cases of HAGLUND deformity is the treatment of choice including either endoscopic or open surgical approach for this deformity .
The study will be conducted at Assiut university children hospital and it will include patients with history of repeated fractures due to mild or irrelevant trauma. Diagnosis will be established by biochemical tests, bone survey to exclude secondary causes followed by Dual Energy absorbiometry scan to detect bone density of selected cases then confirm our diagnosis by detection of gene mutations of Osteogenesis imperfecta during one and half year duration with starting zoledronic acid therapy during this duration.
SENIOR transplant Registry European transplant registry of senior renal transplant recipients (above the age of 65 years) receiving initial immunosuppression with tacrolimus once daily, mycophenolate and steroids to investigate long term outcomes on an observational basis.
The incidence of postoperative PJI is ranging from 0.5-2.5% for primary interventions and are reported up to 20% for revision procedure. In addition, hematogenous PJI can occur at any time after implantation and the risk of infection remains during the entire prosthesis indwelling time. Prosthetic joint infections (PJI) are associated with significant morbidity and costs to the healthcare system. Evidence for optimal management of PJI with best outcome and lowest expenses is limited and recommendations between countries vary significantly. There is unmet need to standardized diagnostic procedures and definition of infection as well as achieve a consensus for uniform treatment guidelines.The European Implant Cohort Study (EICS) is a multicenter European research project, including patients with PJI in a cohort representative for Europe. The EICS is established jointly by the Orthopedic and Traumatology surgeons, Infectious Diseases specialists and microbiologists of selected university and non-university institutions across Europe. The principal aim of the EICS is to improve the management of PJI and develop consensus guidelines across Europe. By systematic analysis of consecutively included patients with PJI, factors associated with best outcome regarding infection (assessed by the infection-free interval) and joint function (assessed by the degree of pain, mobility, range of motion) will be determined in a longitudinal prospective study with long-term follow-up. This is an investigator-initiated, open, prospective, multicenter observational study. Participating study centers will be university or non-university hospitals across Europe, which fulfill the following study conditions: - Close collaboration between infectious diseases specialists, microbiologists and orthopedic/trauma surgeons, - Availability of appropriate microbiological methods (following standard recommendations including sonication of removed prosthesis), - Availability a dedicated study team (study nurse and/or research fellow) for regular eligibility screenings, patient inclusion procedure, real-time data collection and patient follow-up. This project may generate important scientific evidence for future guidelines regarding management of PJI, has the potential to initiate new multicenter substudies in an establish network, and may open further collaboration and exchange of skills between institutions across Europe.
