Background: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists have emerged as a powerful diabetic treatment adjunct; however, their effects on outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA) are not well known. This study aimed to compare the risk of complications in patients who had type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) who were on GLP-1 agonists with those who were not on these medications.
Methods: In total, 14,065 patients who had type 2 DM undergoing primary THA between 2016 and 2021 were retrospectively reviewed using a national database.
Article Synopsis
- The review discusses recent advancements in neuroimaging, particularly fMRI and EEG, to assess neural activity related to ACL injury risk and patellofemoral pain (PFP).
- It highlights that athletes at risk for ACL injuries show distinct brain activity patterns during movement and rest, potentially due to cognitive and attentional changes, which impact coordination and increase injury risk.
- The authors advocate for the use of mobile, source-localized EEG to improve research outcomes, as it combines good spatial and temporal resolution with natural movement conditions, addressing limitations of traditional fMRI and EEG studies.
