OBJECTIVES: Complications are common in the treatment of lower extremity congenital or acquired deformities by Ilizarov method. The results to be obtained vary in specific patient groups. In this study, deformities who developed before the age of 16 were compared with those developed after this age regardless of the type of aetiology, in terms of results obtained, treatment durations and complications encountered. METHODS: 53 bone deformities with an average of 9...

Creating effective nudges, or interventions that encourage people to make choices that increase their welfare, is difficult to execute well. Recent work on megastudies, massive field experiments that test many interventions simultaneously, reveals that nudge effectiveness both varies widely and is difficult for experts to predict. We propose an Iterative Crowdsourcing Procedure, which uses insights from members of the target population to generate and preselect nudges prior to testing them in a field experiment...

This review describes targeted magnetic resonance imaging (tMRI) of small changes in the T1 and the spatial properties of normal or near normal appearing white or gray matter in disease of the brain. It employs divided subtracted inversion recovery (dSIR) and divided reverse subtracted inversion recovery (drSIR) sequences to increase the contrast produced by small changes in T1 by up to 15 times compared to conventional T1 -weighted inversion recovery (IR) sequences such as magnetization prepared-rapid acquisition gradient echo (MP-RAGE)...

AIMS: Accurate skeletal age and final adult height prediction methods in paediatric orthopaedics are crucial for determining optimal timing of growth-guiding interventions and minimizing complications in treatments of various conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of final adult height predictions using the central peak height (CPH) method with long leg X-rays and four different multiplier tables. METHODS: This study included 31 patients who underwent temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for varus or valgus deformity of the leg between 2014 and 2020...

Background Fractures of long bones can sometimes lead to complications such as infection or nonunion, resulting in significant patient morbidity. Surgical intervention and antibiotics are often necessary to treat these complications. Antibiotic-impregnated cement/polymer-coated intramedullary nails have emerged as an effective surgical treatment for infected nonunion and open fractures. These implants elude high concentrations of antibiotics at the infection site while stabilizing the fracture. Extensive research has shown promising results, with success rates ranging from 60% to 100%...

In this article, we provide a unique perspective on the use of mindfulness interventions in a whole health framework embedded within the theory of salutogenesis and the concept of painogenic environments. We argue that mindfulness is a valuable tool to bridge exploration of inner experiences of bodily pain with socio-ecological influences on thoughts and emotions. We outline research from neuroimaging studies that mindfulness techniques mediate neural processing and neuroplastic changes that alleviate pain and related symptoms...

PURPOSE: The study aimed to evaluate preliminary clinical and radiographic results of patients with Cierny-Mader type IV chronic femoral osteomyelitis and augmented with a non-vascularized fibular autograft as a salvage procedure because of the poorly regenerated new bone after bone transport over an intramedullary nail (BTON). METHODS: Patients diagnosed with CM type IV chronic femoral bone infection and treated with BTON procedure between 2003 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed...

INTRODUCTION: The management of gap non-union is a major challenge to both the clinician and the patient as it is technically difficult, time-intensive, and physically arduous for the patient along with an unpredictable result. Gap non-union can arise from extrusion of bony fragment at the time of trauma or after debridement of unhealthy bone later. Moreover, Tibia because of its subcutaneous anatomy can easily undergo bone-loss and segmental defect. Among various methods available for managing gap non-union of tibia distraction osteogenesis using either ilizarov fixator or mono-rail fixator is the most popular one...

Objective This study aims to analyze outcomes and clinical and epidemiological data of infected tibial pseudarthrosis using the Ilizarov method and the Orr dressing. Methods Data from n = 43 patients diagnosed with infected tibial pseudarthrosis were analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistical methods. In addition, Paley's assessment criteria evaluated bone and functional outcomes. Qualitative variables were presented as the distribution of absolute and relative frequencies...

BACKGROUND: Osteomyelitis causes marked disability and is one of the most challenging diseases for orthopaedists to treat because of the considerable rate of infection recurrence. In this study, we proposed and assessed the debridement-reconstruction-docking (DRD) system for the treatment of lower-extremity osteomyelitis. This procedure comprises 3 surgical stages and 2 preoperative assessments; namely, pre-debridement assessment, debridement, pre-reconstruction assessment, reconstruction, and docking-site management...

Background There are no recommendations for being seated versus nonseated during ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring (ABPM). The authors examined how recent standing or moving versus sitting affect average daytime BP on ABPM. Methods and Results This analysis used baseline assessments from a clinical trial in desk workers with office systolic BP (SBP) 120 to 159 mm Hg or diastolic BP (DBP) 80 to 99 mm Hg. ABPM was measured every 30 minutes with a SunTech Medical Oscar 2 monitor...

BACKGROUND: Currently, periarticular knee joint osteotomies are an integral part of the treatment of early arthritic deformities in the knee joint. DIAGNOSTICS: Analysis of the deformity is performed with a standardized full-leg standing x‑ray of both legs, as well as a lateral x‑ray of the knee joint that includes 2/3 of the proximal tibial shaft. An MRI examination of the knee joint is obtained to assess the articular cartilage, the ligaments and menisci...

New synthetic hybrid materials and their increasing complexity have placed growing demands on crystal growth for single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Unfortunately, not all chemical systems are conducive to the isolation of single crystals for traditional characterization. Here, small-molecule serial femtosecond crystallography (smSFX) at atomic resolution (0.833 Å) is employed to characterize microcrystalline silver n- alkanethiolates with various alkyl chain lengths at X-ray free electron laser facilities, resolving long-standing controversies regarding the atomic connectivity and odd-even effects of layer stacking...

Structural competency is used to train health professionals on how social, political, and economic dynamics create conditions that negatively impact a population's health. In the Global South, this approach has historical roots in social movements, popular education, social medicine, and human rights. In 1982, during a time of extreme poverty, inequality, and violence under the Chilean military dictatorship, Educación Popular en Salud (EPES), developed a programme for training community health promoters to address common illnesses and analyse the underlying causes of poor health...

Diamine-appended Mg2 (dobpdc) (dobpdc4- = 4,4'-dioxidobiphenyl-3,3'-dicarboxylate) metal-organic frameworks have emerged as promising candidates for carbon capture owing to their exceptional CO2 selectivities, high separation capacities, and step-shaped adsorption profiles, which arise from a unique cooperative adsorption mechanism resulting in the formation of ammonium carbamate chains. Materials appended with primary , secondary -diamines featuring bulky substituents, in particular, exhibit excellent stabilities and CO2 adsorption properties...

To investigate the effect of the induced membrane technique (IMT) in the treatment of infected tibial bone defect. IMT is a 2-stage procedure dedicated to reconstruction of bone defects of the limbs. Treating injuries of the tibia characterized by segmental bone loss, severe damage to the soft tissue, and a conjoining infection is a challenge using IMT. A retrospective study was performed among the patients treated using IMT for infected tibial bone defect between 2017 and 2020. The complications were recorded, and the bone defect union and the functional results were evaluated by Paley method...
