Biocompatible 3D-Printed Devices With Adipose Stem Cells in the Regenerative Process of Sciatic Nerve Lesions in Rodent Models: An Experimental Study.

Introduction: Peripheral nerve injuries are a significant clinical challenge. The rat sciatic nerve serves as an ideal model for studying nerve regeneration. Extensive research has been conducted to unravel the intricate mechanisms involved in peripheral nerve regeneration, aiming to develop effective therapeutic strategies for nerve injury patients.

Application of Adipose Stem Cells in 3D Nerve Guidance Conduit Prevents Muscle Atrophy and Improves Distal Muscle Compliance in a Peripheral Nerve Regeneration Model.

Background: Peripheral nerve injuries (PNIs) represent a significant clinical problem, and standard approaches to nerve repair have limitations. Recent breakthroughs in 3D printing and stem cell technologies offer a promising solution for nerve regeneration. The main purpose of this study was to examine the biomechanical characteristics in muscle tissue distal to a nerve defect in a murine model of peripheral nerve regeneration from physiological stress to failure.

Blood Count-Derived Inflammatory Markers Correlate with Lengthier Hospital Stay and Are Predictors of Pneumothorax Risk in Thoracic Trauma Patients.

(1) Background: Trauma is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, with the chest being the third most frequent body part injured after abdominal and head trauma. Identifying and predicting injuries related to the trauma mechanism is the initial step in managing significant thoracic trauma. The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive capabilities of blood count-derived inflammatory markers at admission.

Clinical and morphological outcomes after percutaneous needle fasciotomy in Dupuytren's disease according to the contracture severity.

Background And Objectives: Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a chronic progressive disorder causing contractures in the palmar and digital fascia. The primary aim of management is to correct the deformity while reducing the risk of recurrence and avoiding complications. The purpose of our retrospective study was to validate the efficacity, safety and the rate of recurrence of DD after percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF).

The Overall Quality of Life and Oncological Outcomes Following Radical Hysterectomy in Cervical Cancer Survivors Results from a Large Long-Term Single-Institution Study.

(1) Background: Cervical cancer patients have been found to have worse quality of life (QoL) scores due to cancer treatment, not only when compared to the general population, but also when compared to other gynecological cancer survivors. In Eastern European developing countries, the health care system often cannot afford the uppermost standardized treatment for these patients. In the absence of a comparable study in our country, the authors' aim for this retrospective cross-sectional observational study was to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and the QoL o cervical cancer survivors; (2) Methods: 430 patients were analyzed.

Aspects of Tertiary Prevention in Patients with Primary Open Angle Glaucoma.

The purpose of the study is to assess the health of patients in the activity of tertiary prevention dedicated to preventing blindness caused by POAG (primary glaucoma with open angle and high tension) and NTG (primary glaucoma with open-angle and statistically normal tension-particular form of glaucoma with open angle) and preservation of the remaining visual function. The design of the study is epidemiological, observational, descriptive and retrospective, and uses only the data recorded in the existing records in the archives of the Ophthalmology office within the Integrated Outpatient Clinic of the Emergency Clinical Hospital of Oradea (IOCECHO) during the years 1999-2019 (anamnestic data; objective examination and paraclinical examination: intraocular pressure-IOP and visual field-VF). The methods of the study included the standardized protocol: anamnesis, physical ophthalmological examination, IOP determination, and computerized perimetry with the "Fast Threshold" strategy performed with the "Opto AP-300" perimeter.

Differences between Active and Semi-Active Students Regarding the Parameters of Body Composition Using Bioimpedance and Magnetic Bioresonance Technologies.

The aim of the study was to identify differences in obesity-related parameters between active sports students and semi-active or sedentary students, differentiated by sex, in order to optimize health. The study sample included 286 students, of which the male experimental sample consisted of 86 active sports students, age X ± SD 21.25 ± 0.

Arthroscopic Repair in Tibial Spine Avulsion Fractures Using Polyethylene Terephthalate Suture: Good to Excellent Results in Pediatric Patients.

Background: The objective of the arthroscopic treatment in tibial spine avulsion fractures (TSAF) is to achieve firm reduction and strong internal fixation while still having the patient undergo a minimally invasive procedure.

Material And Methods: The study was performed on 12 young patients with avulsion fracture of the anterior tibial spine. All 12 patients had type 3 Modified Meyers and McKeever fractures.

Treatment Efficacy with a Novel Hyaluronic Acid-Based Hydrogel for Osteoarthritis of the Knee.

: Prior trials investigating the treatment of symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA) with hyaluronic-acid-derived products injections have provided optimistic results. The study was directed to assess the effectiveness of an innovative hyaluronic-acid-based hydrogel (Hymovis) in the treatment of symptomatic knee OA. : A prospective, single-center, clinical trial was performed.

Prevalence of the fabella and its association with pain in the posterolateral corner of the knee: A cross-sectional study in a Romanian population.

The functions and clinical consequences of the fabella, a sesamoid bone found in the posterolateral aspect of the knee joint, are still a reason of intense debate in the scientific literature. Its incidence was reported to range between 20% and 87% and its presence was usually associated with the persistent pain in the posterolateral region of the knee. The aim of our study was to measure the prevalence, anatomic and clinical features of the fabella within a cross-sectional study, conducted in a Romanian orthopaedic center.
