Trial-to-trial Adaptation: Parsing out the Roles of Cerebellum and BG in Predictive Motor Timing.

We previously demonstrated that predictive motor timing (i.e., timing requiring visuomotor coordination in anticipation of a future event, such as catching or batting a ball) is impaired in patients with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) types 6 and 8 relative to healthy controls.

[Early complications associated with total hip arthroplasty due to femoral neck fracture].

Purpose Of The Study: Fractures of the femoral neck have been serious health and social issues of the recent decades. Although up-to-date implants and perioperative care are now available, the treatment is still associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. The aim of this study was to specify early postoperative complications and to ascertain which factors, if any, can predict them.

Comparison of Hydroxyapatite-coated stems in total hip arthroplasty after a minimum 10-years follow-up.

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Hydroxypatite coating (HAC) was introduced into total hip arthroplasty (THA) practice to improve the fixation interface between bone and prosthesis. To test this assumption however, long-term follow-up investigations are needed. In this study, we present data for two consecutive series of THA stems with HAC and a minimum ten-year follow-up.

Poor survival of ABG I hip prosthesis in younger patients.

Background: Hydroxyapatite coated (HAC) hip implants have been used in clinical practice for more than two decades. However, the majority of studies have reported only intermediate term outcomes that are not reliable for predicting long-term behavior in all implants. The aim of this study was to determine the performance of HAC total hip arthroplasty in younger patients over a 10-year follow-up period.
