Importance of hip capsular repair in total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the posterior lateral approach: a five year retrospective cohort study.

Purpose: This study aims to assess the impact of repairing the hip joint capsule during posterior-lateral approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) on postoperative hip joint function and late dislocation incidence.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 413 patients, divided into experimental (hip joint capsule repair, n = 204) and control (hip joint capsule excision, n = 209) groups. Patients were followed for five years, evaluating postoperative hip range of motion (ROM), dislocation rate, VAS and HHS scores, inflammatory and coagulation markers, hospitalization, blood loss, and body composition.

The association between weight-adjusted-waist index and muscle strength in adults: a population-based study.

Background: The relationship between the weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI) and grip strength, a crucial marker in assessing sarcopenia, lacks clarity. We aimed to explore the relationship between WWI and muscle strength across genders.

Methods: The cross-sectional study involved adults with complete data on WWI and grip strength from the 2011-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Causal associations between sleep traits and temporomandibular disorders: a bidirectional mendelian randomization analysis.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between five sleep traits (insomnia, sleep duration, getting up in morning, snoring, and daytime nap) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD) using bi-directional Mendelian randomization.

Methods: The bi-directional Mendelian randomization study was conducted in two stages. Initially, sleep traits were examined as exposures while TMD was evaluated as an outcome, whereas the second step was reversed.

The effects of β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate or HMB-rich nutritional supplements on sarcopenia patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Sarcopenia is a progressive, systemic skeletal muscle disorder. Resistance exercise and physical activity have been proven effective in its treatment, but consensus on pharmacological interventions has not yet been reached in clinical practice. β-Hydroxy-β-methylbutyrate (HMB) is a nutritional supplement that has demonstrated favorable effects on muscle protein turnover, potentially contributing to beneficial impacts on sarcopenia.

Crohn's disease in hemophilic arthropathy patient: a case report.

Crohn's disease (CD) is an inflammatory bowel disease affecting the digestive tract, the incidence of which is on the rise worldwide. The most common clinical manifestation of hemophilia is arthropathy secondary to recurrent joint effusions and chronic synovitis. This article reports on a rare 25-year-old male patient with both hemophilic arthropathy and Crohn's disease who was at risk for pathogenic gastrointestinal bleeding.

Association between weight-adjusted waist index and periodontitis: A population-based study.

Objective: This study aims to examine the association between the Weight-adjusted Waist Circumference Index (WWI) and the prevalence of periodontitis, providing novel evidence on the link between central obesity and periodontal health.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 10,289 participants enrolled from NHANES 2009 to 2014. WWI was calculated by dividing waist circumference by the square root of weight.

Clinical Efficacy of Intra-articular Tranexamic Acid Injection in the Management of Hemophilia with Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 24-month Retrospective Cohort Study.

Objective: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) effectively treats end-stage hemophilic hip arthropathy. Given hemophilia's unique characteristics, perioperative bleeding remains a significant risk for patients undergoing THA. Tranexamic acid (TXA), an efficient antifibrinolytic agent, may benefit the outcomes of THA for patients with hemophilia (PWH).

The association between weight-adjusted-waist index and sarcopenia in adults: a population-based study.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between weight-adjusted-waist index (WWI), a new body index, and sarcopenia, while also assessing the potential of WWI as a tool for screening sarcopenic patients. The cross-sectional study involved adults who possessed complete data on WWI and appendicular skeletal muscle mass from the 1999-2006 and 2011-2018 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Weighted multivariate regression and logistic regression analyses were employed to explore the independent relationship between WWI and sarcopenia.

Factors influencing periprosthetic bone mineral density in total knee arthroplasty: a systematic review.

Introduction: Following total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is a significant decline in periprosthetic bone mineral density (BMD), potentially resulting in complications such as prosthetic loosening, periprosthetic fracture, and influencing the postoperative recovery. The objective of this study was to summarize the factors influencing periprosthetic BMD in TKA from existing studies.

Methods: A comprehensive systematic search was performed in 4 databases: Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library.

Risk of low bone mineral density in patients with haemophilia: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: Patients with haemophilia (PWH) may have lower bone mineral density (BMD). The risk of low BMD in PWH has not been comprehensively analysed. This study aimed to examine the risk of low BMD and changes in BMD in PWH.
