Traction-related urinary complications in hip arthroscopy using a perineal post: Prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a leading cause of chronic hip pain in young adults, often treated with hip arthroscopy. While effective, the procedure involves traction with a perineal post that can impact the urogenital system. This study aims to evaluate urinary function changes in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Tubular graphitic carbon nitride-anchored on porous diatomite for enhanced solar energy efficiency in photocatalytic remediation and energy storage performance.

Dual functional materials can be beneficial for simultaneous application in different fields. Herein, tubular graphitic carbon nitride (TCN) was anchored on natural diatomite (DT) by performing a simple hydrothermal-calcination method and the as-obtained composite (TCN/DT) was utilized in both photocatalytic remediation and thermal energy storage. The optimal sample, TCN/DT/3, could degrade 88.

Antidiabetic Effect of Fig Seed Oil in Rats with Diabetes Induced by Streptozotocin.

The anti-diabetic effect of Ficus carica (Fig) seed oil was investigated. 4 groups with 6 rats in each group were used in the experiment as control, diabetes (45 mg/kg streptozotocin), fig seed oil (FSO) (6 mL/ kg/day/rat by gavage) and diabetes+FSO groups. Glucose, urea, creatinine, ALT, AST, GSH, AOPP and MDA analyses were done.

Understanding Family Members in the Palliative Phases of Their Loved Ones: A Qualitative Study.

Because of aging and rising rates of chronic diseases, the demand for palliative care services is increasing worldwide, and patients need family members to care for them throughout the palliative care process. This study aimed to investigate the experiences of the relatives of palliative care patients during hospitalization. This was a qualitative study conducted with 15 family members.

Better sex after hip arthroscopy; Sexual dysfunction in patients with femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome.

Background: Femoro-acetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common cause of hip pain and functional decline. The quality of life of affected patients has been shown to be significantly diminished, with potential alterations in the ability to perform activities of daily living and recreation, including sexual function. Hip arthroscopy is the surgical technique recognized as the gold standard in FAIS.
