Article Synopsis
- * Participants were categorized based on their urinary infection history, and data was collected on their intestinal microbiota, dietary habits, lifestyle, and understanding of their conditions.
- * Findings revealed that factors like abdominal pain, constipation, and poor dietary choices are linked to both IBS and LUTIs, suggesting that these conditions may influence and worsen each other's symptoms.
Article Synopsis
- Life expectancy and overall function of amputated patients have improved, leading to a higher incidence of hip issues requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA), but not all surgeons are adequately trained for these cases.
- This review analyzes 17 manuscripts, documenting 39 cases of THA in amputees, highlighting differences between above-knee amputations (AKA) and below-knee amputations (BKA) and emphasizing the need for careful planning and rehabilitation considerations before surgery.
- Patients with BKA often have higher functional demands post-surgery, requiring precise component positioning and intensive physiotherapy, while AKA patients may present unique challenges due to the lack of a knee joint and varying levels of mobility.
Background: The direct anterior approach is increasingly used for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) due to its minimally invasive nature and rapid recovery time. Difficulties in identifying the correct intermuscular interval can arise during the procedure, sometimes resulting in excessive medial exposure. This study aimed to evaluate demographics and risk factors, outcomes, and potential complications in those THA patients in which a medialized approach was performed.

This systematic review aimed to determine the efficacy of using bisphosphonates preventatively to limit PPO after a total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Anomalies in lipid metabolism involve multifactorial pathogenesis, among other factors, being associated with an inflammatory state and disturbances in vitamin D status. The literature has focused on the binary relationships between inflammation and dyslipidemia, vitamin D and dyslipidemia, or vitamin D and inflammation. Our study aimed to explore the link between all these three factors: 25-OH vitamin D serum levels, the presence of inflammation assessed through serum C-reactive protein (CRP), and serum lipid profile in 2747 hospitalized patients.
