Infectiological Outcome of Total Hip and Total Knee Arthroplasty in Post-Traumatic and Primary Osteoarthritis.

: The objective of this study was to compare infection rates, pathogen species detection and antimicrobial susceptibility testing in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) following post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) and primary osteoarthritis (POA). : Patients undergoing both THA and TKA were significantly more likely to have a PJI after PTOA than after POA (THA: 2.5% vs.

[University trauma surgery and orthopedics: where is the journey going to?].

In the field of tension between generalists and specialists, in modern university trauma and orthopedic surgery the question arises as to which expertise has the greatest importance for the future of clinical care. University medicine consists of three large pillars: Research, teaching and treatment of patients. Each of these pillars is faced with the challenge of increasing specialization; however, generalists are extremely important for the future of university trauma surgery and orthopedics.

A novel engineered strain of Methylorubrum extorquens for methylotrophic production of glycolic acid.

The conversion of CO into methanol depicts one of the most promising emerging renewable routes for the chemical and biotech industry. Under this regard, native methylotrophs have a large potential for converting methanol into value-added products but require targeted engineering approaches to enhance their performances and to widen their product spectrum. Here we use a systems-based approach to analyze and engineer M.
