Modified Ludloff's medial approach for resection of heterotopic ossification of the hip following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection: a case report.

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has significantly affected people worldwide. Herein, we present a case of massive heterotopic ossification (HO) of the right hip following severe SARS-CoV-2 infection. The exact origin of HO development is still unknown, but a critical illness, chronic immobilization and hypoxia are important risk factors.

Unilateral Hypertrophy of the Tensor Fasciae Latae Muscle: A Case Report.

Unilateral hypertrophy of the Tensor Fasciae Latae (TFL) muscle is a rare condition often characterized by a palpable mass in the lower limbs or hip pain. Despite its rarity, several causative factors have been identified, necessitating accurate diagnosis and appropriate management. Here, we present the case of a 53-year-old patient who sought outpatient consultation for a mass in the anterolateral aspect of the right thigh.

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Vitamin C during the Postoperative Period in Patients Subjected to Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Vitamin C, a potent reducing and antioxidant agent, plays an important role in the body, aiding in the growth of cartilage and bones. It is also involved in mechanisms that help reduce inflammation and its effects on the body. In addition, vitamin C decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-6, which produce acute-phase proteins such as CRP and influence inflammatory markers such as ESR.

Surprisingly selective sulfate extraction by a simple monofunctional di(imino)guanidinium micelle-forming anion receptor.

We report a novel di(imino)guanidinium anion extractant with unparalleled selectivity for sulfate in a liquid-liquid separation system. In addition to a 4.4 order-of-magnitude enhancement in affinity compared to a standard benchmark, our alkylated di(imino)guanidinium receptor is economically synthesized and features good compatibility with application-relevant aliphatic solvents.

Chirurgica Taurina: a 10-year experience of bullfight injuries.

Background: Despite recent efforts to improve medical treatment for injured bullfighters, including the foundation of a scientific society for bullfight injuries, serious injuries, in particular in villages and smaller arenas, still do occur. We are not aware of any series in the English literature that aimed to study the specific mechanisms, types, and outcomes of these injuries.

Methods: A review of the trauma registry of injured bullfighters who suffered any type of trauma during bullfighting and received emergency therapy by the Surgical Trauma Services between 1994 and 2004 at the Plaza de Toros Nuevo Progreso, Guadalajara, Mexico.
