Assessment of Integrative Therapeutic Methods for Improving the Quality of Life and Functioning in Cancer Patients-A Systematic Review.

Cancer rehabilitation represents a series of measures adopted for the recovery of psychological, emotional, social, and financial functioning in the case of cancer patients. The purpose of this study is to identify the main elements of therapeutic management in the field of medical rehabilitation, as well as integrative, complementary medicine and holistic approaches that can be performed on the oncological patient. This systematic literature review follows the methodology outlined in the "Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis" ("PRISMA") statement, which is an internationally recognized and widely accepted standard.

Evaluation of Total Hip Arthroplasty Performed from a Lateral Approach as Optimal Treatment for Femoral Neck Fractures in Elderly, Active Patients.

Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate total hip arthroplasty in terms of clinical and functional outcomes, rate of complications and hospitalization, as a treatment of choice for displaced femoral neck fractures.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the data of 526 patients with THA operated on in our department between January 2017 and December 2021. Clinical examinations, functional outcome assessment and radiographic evaluation were performed during follow-up.

Common peroneal nerve palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty.

Purpose: The study wants to evaluate the incidence, the clinical evolution, and treatment of common peroneal nerve (CPN) palsy after primary total hip arthroplasty.

Methods: Our clinical prospective study was made between January 2016 and December 2020. The study group comprised 1240 total hip replacements over a period of five years.

Antegrade intramedullary locking nail in the management of proximal and middle thirds of humeral diaphyseal fractures.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the antegrade intramedullary locking nail osteosynthesis for the treatment of the proximal and middle thirds of humeral shaft fractures.

Methods: A retrospective study was made on 218 patients diagnosed with humeral diaphysis fractures who undergo surgery with antegrade intramedullary locking nail between January 2017 and December 2021. The clinical follow-up started two days after surgery and continued at one month, three months, six months and one year.

Axial and para-axial loading response evaluation on human cadaver-harvested lumbar vertebral blocks: experiment with possible clinical implications for clinical practice.

The aim of the present study conducted on the lumbar spine was to confirm that the pronounced decrease in resistance in the system is a phenomenon that can be eminently affected by the adaptive changes that occur at the level of the intervertebral disc at axial mechanical stresses. The biomechanical trial was carried out on 11 lumbar segments L1-L5, gathered from adult human cadavers. The dissection considered the complete keeping of all bone, disc, articulated and ligamentous components in their anatomical position.

Post-traumatic occipital psoriatic plaque complicated by extensive necrotizing fasciitis of the head and neck: a case report and literature review.

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a severe infection involving the superficial fascial layers, subcutaneous cellular tissue, and possibly skin. It usually has a fulminant evolution, rapidly leading to death in the absence of early diagnosis and aggressive surgical treatment. We herein report a rare case of NF secondary to a traumatized occipital psoriatic plaque in an alcoholic 47-year-old woman and compare this case with the published literature.
