Medial compartment osteoarthritis with a large subchondral geode of medial femoral condyle treated with unicondylar knee arthroplasty: a case report
Osteoarthritis (OA) with a large subchondral geode of medial fem oral condylar is not common. The treatment options of this lesion vary according to the location of the cyst and the severity of osteo arthritis, with less invasive procedures such as calcium phosphate cement injection to a joint arthroplasty.
Relationship between blood ammonia and plasma free amino acids concentration in adult-onset citrullinemia type 2: A case report
1.1. Aim: Elevated plasma citrulline (Cit) concentration is a char acteristic finding in adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2). However, the plasma free amino acids (PFAA) profile associated with ammonia detoxification has not been fully analyzed.
Therapeutic Perspective of the Multisensory Interior Garden for the Older People
1.1. Introduction: The conceptualization of the inherent relation ship between man and nature is called biophilia which refers to the belief that humans are genetically predisposed to be attracted to nature. Science has strengthened the hypothesis contributing to its expansion in various fields such as medicine and psychotherapeu tic interventions
Walking rehabilitation using Hybrid Assistive Limb and C-Brace for an individual with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury: a case report
Many individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) hope to restore walking function irrespective of their impairment. We present a case with chronic incomplete cervical SCI who could regain com munity ambulation by gait training with hybrid assistive limb (HAL), followed by fitting and training of microprocessor-con trolled knee ankle foot orthosis (C-Brace). The walking and bal ance ability continuously improved in the course of rehabilitation.
GeneXpert MTB/RIF: A Useful Tool for Rapid and Accurate Diagnosis of Tuberculosis and Rifampicin Resistance
The primary objective of this study was to show the usefulness and importance of GeneXpert MTB/RIF, a rapid test that simultane ously detects Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTBC) and resistance to rifampicin (RIF) in less than 2 hours.
Post-COVID pulmonary mucormycosis- A case report
Pulmonary mucormycosis, a relatively rare fungal lung disease, is difficult to diagnose. It is increasingly reported immuno-com promised patients that inhale fungal spores in the air or paranasal sinus, resulting in pulmonary mucormycosis.
Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity as a risk factor for threatened miscarriage.
Dear Editor, we have found that the presence of Streptococcus mutans in the oral cavity of a pregnant woman may be a risk factor for miscar riage. We observed that Streptococcus mutans is significantly more widespread in the oral cavity of women with threatened abortion than in those undergoing a healthy pregnancy.
The Role of Genetic Mutations in Genes RUNX1, RUNX1T1, CBFB & MYH11 on Core Binding Factor Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (CBF-AML) is one of the causes of he matopoietic tissue (bone marrow) called acute myeloid leukemia. In normal bone marrow, early blood cells called hematopoietic stem cells develop into several types of blood cells: white blood cells (leukocytes) that protect the body against infection, red blood cells (erythrocytes) ) that carry oxygen and platelets (thrombo cytes) play a role in blood coagulation, in acute myeloid leukemia, the bone marrow produces a large number of abnormal and im mature white blood cells called myeloid blasts.
Height is a measure of consumption that incorporates nutritional needs: When and What?
Japan suffered heavily from WWII. Per capita food supply was 1,450 and 1,700 kcal/day in 1946 and 1947, respectively. Japan’s economy quickly recovered to the pre-war level in 10 years after the war, 2,200 kcal/day in average food supply in 1955, making steady progress toward the end of the century.
Successful management of a broken stylet retained in tracheobronchial tree-a case report
In Covid-19 pandemic, the use of video laryngoscope for tracheal intubation is highly recommended due to the increasing distance between patient’s airway and operator. An endotracheal tube with an intubating stylet has been proposed to facilitate tracheal tube insertion, especially when video laryngoscope was used.
