Filter by:This prospective observational study evaluates changes in resting basal metabolic rate in 51 adult patients undergoing elective major orthopedic surgery (hip, knee, or spine surgery).
In this study, musculoskeletal-related pain, posture, spine function, the condition of the low back and neck regions, musculoskeletal system disorders, fatigue, and quality of life will be examined in caregivers of rehabilitation patients.
This is a post-market, monocentric Retrospective and prospective, observational, open-label and baseline clinical study in order to evaluate the performance and safety of Revision LR femoral stem
An active sex life has an important place for the quality of life and is closely related to the increase in the general health level. In this context, a healthy sexual life after TKA surgery can contribute to the general quality of life of the patients. In the pre-TKA period, the sexual activity of female patients was found to be impaired more than men, the relationship between spouses was significantly affected negatively, and in the post-TKA period, general sexual recovery was significantly delayed in female patients compared to men. From this perspective, it is clear that pre- and post-TKA sexual counseling is important when preparing a balanced resumption of sexual activity in female patients after TKA. However, in clinical practice, patients may hesitate to talk about sexual life, and orthopedists and nurses often ignore this.
We will screen all first metatarsophalangeal joint arthrodeses performed between 2010 and 2022 in Helsinki University Hospital. Information about demographics and additional diagnoses will be yielded from data pool of medical records. Additionally we review pre- and post-operative x-rays for first MTP joint angles and OR records for operative techniques. Our aim is to find associations between those known variables and risk for reoperation in two years after operation.
The experimental study investigates which metabolic responses of calcium and parathyroid hormone are observable in blood and urine in a cohort of 41 healthy adults following a sequence of different exposures: low-calcium water first and high-calcium water afterward.
Procedural sedation involves the administration of sedative medications that allow patients to tolerate painful procedures. Procedural sedation has been formally recommended by experts from the French Society of Emergency Medicine (SFMU) since 2010 and procedural sedation using propofol in emergency departments has been recommended by the American College of Emergency Physicians in 2018. Propofol monotherapy is now widely used in emergency medicine (EM) in France as part of procedural sedation for performing painful procedures, however propofol has no analgesic properties per se . Pupilometry makes it possible to study the depth of analgesia by evaluating the body's nociceptive response via the ANS by studying the pupil diameter. This technique would allow the evaluation of the analgesia level in patients sedated by PROPOFOL during the realization of painful procedures. Variations in pupil diameter during painful procedures under procedural sedation in an emergency department will be assesed in this study. Secondly, patients satisfaction following the procedure will also be evaluated by the use of the French version of the "ISAS-F", the Iowa Satisfaction with Anesthesia Scale.
The basal joint, also referred to as the carpometacarpal (CMC) joint, of the thumb is one of the joints most commonly affected by arthritis. CMC joint arthritis can lead to decreased grip and pinch strength and impairment of activities of daily living
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of two conservative orthopedic treatments in propulsive metatarsalgia. The main question it aims to answer are: - To compare the effectiveness of treatments on foot pain and functionality in subjects diagnosed with propulsive metatarsalgia. - To determinate the influence of clinical and radiographical characteristics in pain improvement. Participants will wear the treatment for 3 months . Researchers will compare polypropylene and EVA insoles and Fixtoe Device® to see if a foot pain improvement is achieved.
With the change in lifestyle, most physical tasks are now performed by machines. As a result, sitting has become the most common learning posture and office posture, and cervical and lumbar spondylosis are becoming increasingly prevalent in younger people. One-third of life is devoted to sleep, and bad sleeping posture can place incorrect strain on the cervical and lumbar spine, resulting in irreversible and detrimental repercussions if not treated seriously. Sleep disorders have become an important public health concern because they can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. A pillow can give adequate support for the head and neck and assist sleepers in maintaining proper neck and thoracic curvature. Studies have demonstrated that a comfortable sleeping pillow helps relax the neck muscles, hence facilitating sleep, and efficiently alleviate pain in the neck, shoulders, back, and head. There is consensus among researchers that supporting the natural lordotic curve of the cervical spine is necessary to achieve longer periods of deep sleep. In addition, a pillow can improve sleep quality by cooling the head, lowering body temperature, reducing sweating or slowing the heart rate during sleep. However, the level of evidence to support these claims is so far limited. It has been claimed by pillow manufacturers that many design-related pillow parameters are effective in improving sleep quality and reducing neck pain. However, most of these recommendations are based on personal experience. This study recommends the most suitable pillow for people in forward head postures based on the body pressure distribution of the head, neck and upper body. The proposed pillows were evaluated in two parameters: comfort and support.
