Improvement of early functional outcomes in hospitalized geriatric patients after hip surgery.

Computer supported clinical practice has great potential to improve process performance and care outcomes. However, further research is needed to evaluate the efficiency of Health Information Technology (HIT) across the various clinical settings. This study focuses on the status of the patient as determined by various potential predicting factors for functional recovery during hospitalization after hip surgery.

[Neurovascular lesion after total hip arthroplasty in congenital hip dysplasia--case report].

Introduction: Nowadays, the total hip arthroplasty is a very frequent surgical intervention. In some cases, vascular and nerve injuries may happen around the hip with total hip arthroplasty. Although they are very rare, they may be very dangerous for the patient in some cases.

[The type and screen method of blood requisition in General Hospital Zrenjanin].

Introduction: The basic principle of patient's chemotherapy is that its performance is rational, safe and of high quality. In order to rationalize the whole process, the Transfusiology Committee has decided to introduce the Type and Screen method (typifying of blood types and screening of antibodies) in pre-transfusion testing in General Hospital "Dorde Joanovic" in Zrenjanin. The method represents the strategy of clear defining and standardizing of the blood requirement process during various elective surgical operations.

Image quality in real-time teleultrasound of infant hip exam over low-bandwidth internet links: a transatlantic feasibility study.

Evolution of communication systems, especially internet-based technologies, has probably affected Radiology more than any other medical specialty. Tremendous increase in internet bandwidth has enabled a true revolution in image transmission and easy remote viewing of the static images and real-time video stream. Previous reports of real-time telesonography, such as the ones developed for emergency situations and humanitarian work, rely on high compressions of images utilized by remote sonologist to guide and supervise the unexperienced examiner.

MRI versus ¹³¹I whole-body scintigraphy for the detection of lymph node recurrences in differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the clinical usefulness of MRI and radioiodine (¹³¹I) whole-body scintigraphy for the detection of lymph node metastases in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC).

Materials And Methods: After surgery and ¹³¹I therapy, 40 patients with DTC underwent ¹³¹I whole-body scintigraphy and MRI. Each patient was clinically suspected of having or already had evidence of nodal recurrences (confirmed by laboratory studies, cytologic analysis, or whole-body scintigraphy).
