Sarcopenia Is Associated with an Increased Risk of Postoperative Complications Following Total Hip Arthroplasty for Osteoarthritis.

Sarcopenia is a state of catabolic muscle wasting prevalent in geriatric patients. Likewise, osteoarthritis is an age-related musculoskeletal disease affecting patients with similar demographics. Late-stage hip osteoarthritis is often treated with total hip arthroplasty (THA). As sarcopenia influences the surgical outcomes, this study aimed to assess the impact of sarcopenia on the outcomes of THA. A 1:3 matched case-control study of sarcopenic to control patients was performed using a large national database. In total, 3992 patients were analyzed. Sarcopenic patients undergoing THA were more

BackgroundMegaprosthetic reconstruction is sometimes indicated in advanced metastatic bone disease (MBD) of the appendicular skeleton with large degrees of bone loss or need for oncological segmental resection. Outcome after megaprosthetic reconstruction was studied in the setting of primary bone sarcoma with high levels of complications, but it is not known if this applies to MBD.MethodWe performed a comparative analysis of complications and revision surgery for MBD and bone sarcoma surgery in an institutional cohort from 2005-2019. Presented are the descriptive data of the cohort, with Kapla

Improving Access to Patient Education: an Audit of Extant Educational Materials.

Health information exchange between provider and patient, along with patient participation in their care (self-management), can lead to improved health outcomes. A step towards achieving better outcomes is the systematic provision of education materials to patients and caregivers throughout the cancer trajectory. An audit of patient education (PE) materials was conducted at a cancer center to identify content gaps and determine areas for future development. The PE audit was conducted in all outpatient clinics (13) and clinic-specific PE materials were identified, reviewed, and categorized by c

Antifibrotic therapy for Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

BACKGROUND: Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms secondary to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (LUTS/BPH) are a ubiquitous condition estimated to affect over 50% of men over the age of 50 years. Various treatment options exist for men presenting with LUTS/BPH, including lifestyle and behavioral modification and medical or surgical treatment. Although multiple medical treatments exist, innovation for the medical treatment of BPH has not significantly progressed. METHODS: A comprehensive narrative review was performed to evaluate prostate fibrosis as a contributor to LUTS/BPH and to identify potential anti

Exploring the integration of dentistry within a multidisciplinary palliative care team: does bedside dental care improve quality of life and symptom burden in inpatient palliative care patients?

BACKGROUND: Despite the significant impact of oral problems on the quality of life of palliative care patients, comprehensive studies are lacking. This study is the first of its kind to address this gap by including both a dental examination and an intervention and assessing quality of life using the EORTC QLQ OH 15 questionnaire. OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study is to explore the impact of incorporating dentists into inpatient palliative care, with a focus on enhancing quality of life and alleviating symptom burden. METHODS: In this monocentric study, data were gathered from a pallia

High-Dose Continuous Infusion Ifosfamide as Effective Palliation in a Patient With Relapsed Ewing Sarcoma With Bone Marrow Infiltration and Severe Thrombocytopenia: A Case Report.

BackgroundEwing sarcoma is a rare primary mesenchymal tumor of the bone that requires an intensive multimodal therapeutic approach. Multidrug chemotherapy regimens are also the backbone for relapsing/recurring Ewing sarcoma treatment, yet when the disease relapses as bone marrow infiltration, combination chemotherapy might be difficult to administer and prognosis is poor.CaseThis report describes the case of a 22-year-old patient with Ewing sarcoma who developed severe pancytopenia due to bone marrow infiltration, and who was treated with high-dose continuous infusion ifosfamide, obtaining bot

What Is the Fate of Retained Antibiotic Spacers After First-stage Revision for Periprosthetic Joint Infection?

BACKGROUND: Prolonged retention of antibiotic-loaded articulating spacers after the first stage of a two-stage revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) can occur because of patient preference, surgeon preference, or medical reasons that prevent the planned second stage. Little is known about the frequency of persistent infections, mechanical complications, and functional results in patients with retained spacers. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES: At a minimum follow-up of 2 years after spacer placement, among patients who do not undergo the second stage revision (replacement of the spacer with a d

Holistic Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients with Tumor Metastases to the Spine.

The treatment of neoplastic spine metastases requires multi-faceted assessment and an interdisciplinary approach to patients. The metastases do not show specific symptoms but are often the first confirmation of the presence of a primary tumor in a patient. The diagnostic process includes imaging and invasive procedures, e.g., biopsy. It is essential to qualify the patient for an appropriate treatment using dedicated scales. Decompression of the spinal cord is a critical issue to save or restore neurological function in a patient with spine metastases. Surgical treatment ought to meet three cri

Biodegradable tracheal stents: our ten-year experience with adult patients.

BACKGROUND: Biodegradable (BD) stents made from polydioxanone have been used only in human airways. These stents combine the advantages of classical tracheal stents, and fewer side effects are expected due to their biocompatibility and their time-limited presence in airways. However, new clinical consequences have arisen. Here, the authors share their experiences with BD stents for tracheal indications, focusing on their safety and efficacy. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of a collected database of adult patients who underwent implantation of biodegradable tracheal stents between Se

Nanogel-Based Precision Bone Regeneration: Rational Design, Biological Barrier Penetration, and Osteoporotic Microenvironment Remodeling.

The pathogenesis of osteoporosis is primarily associated with impaired communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, leading to disrupted bone homeostasis. Conventional biomaterials mainly rely on macroscopic structural support and are limited in their ability to precisely regulate the complex bone microenvironment and overcome biological barriers. As representative soft matter nanoplatforms, nanogels possess unique viscoelastic mechanical properties and adaptive biointerfacial properties, offering new opportunities to overcome physical barriers within bone tissues. Moving beyond previous

Current options for the treatment of Paget's disease of the bone.

Paget's disease of bone (PDB) is a chronic bone remodelling disorder characterized by increased osteoclast-mediated bone resorption, with subsequent compensatory increases in new bone formation, resulting in a disorganized mosaic of woven and lamellar bone at affected skeletal sites. This disease is most often asymptomatic but can be associated with bone pain or deformity, fractures, secondary arthritis, neurological complications, deafness, contributing to substantial morbidity and reduced quality of life. Neoplastic degeneration of pagetic bone is a relatively rare event, occurring with an i
