Total Hip Arthroplasty for Avascular Necrosis in a Patient With Hemophilia B.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the femoral head accounts for up to 10% of all total hip arthroplasties performed annually. Typically associated with intravascular coagulation, AVN is extremely rare in patients with bleeding disorders such as hemophilia B. In this report, we describe the therapeutic management of a 46-year-old male with hemophilia B, presenting with chronic left hip pain and AVN of the femoral head.

Physical activity and quality of life among breast cancer survivors: Pink SWAN.

Purpose: To describe physical activity (PA) trajectories across 10 years post-breast cancer diagnosis and examine their association with quality of life (QoL).

Methods: Participants from the longitudinal Study of Women's Health Across the Nation who developed incident breast cancer completed the Quality of Life in Adult Cancer Survivors scale (QLACS) which has 12 domains. Breast cancer survivors (BCS) with at least one post-diagnosis measure of the Kaiser Physical Activity Survey (PA) were included (n = 96).

Patient Perspective on Robotic-Assisted Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Background: Robotic-assisted total joint arthroplasty (TJA) has gained popularity in recent years. Despite mixed patient and surgeon perceptions, conflicting evidence regarding efficacy and cost-effectiveness in comparison to manual TJA exists. Patients' beliefs surrounding robotic-assisted TJA remain unclear.

Coronary atherosclerosis in athletes: emerging concepts and preventive strategies.

There should be no assumption that an athlete is immune to coronary artery disease (CAD), even when traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors appear well-managed. Excelling in certain aspects of health does not equate to total CV protection. Recent data from cardiac imaging studies have raised the possibility that long-term, high-volume, high-intensity endurance exercise is associated with coronary atherosclerosis.
