Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an effective approach for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions affecting the shoulder, including osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis and osteonecrosis, and the number of TSA implanted has grown exponentially over the past decade. This review gives an update of the major complications, mainly infections, instability and loosening, encountered after TSA, based on a corpus of recent publications and a dynamic approach: The review focuses on the causes of glenoid loosening, which account for 80% of the complication, and underlines the importance of glenoid positioning in the recovery of early shouder function and in the long term survival rate of TSA...

In recent years, many studies have been conducted on liver fibrosis. This article introduces the latest advances in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of liver fibrosis. There is still a long way to go for the research on anti-fibrosis therapy, and this difficult problem will finally be solved with the help of further studies.

INTRODUCTION: Neuraxial anesthesia in upper abdominal laparoscopic surgery decreases perioperative morbidity and mortality. However, shoulder pain is common and difficult to control. Use of a major opioid (e.g., fentanyl) for the control of this event may depress respiratory function. This is why we believe that a safe and effective therapeutic control of this disease pain is a multimodal analgesic scheme which we have called infusional therapy. OBJECTIVE: To compare various schemes for controlling shoulder pain secondary to pneumoperitoneum...

This research tries to determine the difference between two forms of physical therapy, as regards their efficiency, in treating painful shoulder syndrome. They are ultrasound and sonophoresis. The research comprised 64 patients, divided in two groups. One group was treated by 10 ultrasound procedures (16 women and 17 men, average age 49.3 years), the other by 10 sonophoresis (14 women and 17 men, average age 45.1 years), both having in addition individual physical training (corrective medical exercises) for each patient...
