Background: As cardiac catheterization operators are exposed to radiation exposure throughout their careers, optimal radiation protection is crucial. Our study was designed to assess the effects of supplementary protective measures beyond standard radiation protection attire and barriers, measuring their influence on scatter radiation exposure levels for both the operator and the patient.
Aims: The objective of this trial is to assess the impact of a lead shield on scatter radiation exposure for both the operator and the patient.
Background: To evaluate the burden of overuse injuries, the Oslo Sports Trauma Research Centre (OSTRC) questionnaire on health problems (OSTRC-H2) was developed in English in 2013.
Purpose: To translate and culturally adapt the OSTRC-H2 into French and investigate the reliability and validity of this new version.
Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level of evidence, 3.
Objectives: There is strong evidence that social support is an important determinant of return to work (RTW). Little is known about the role of social support in RTW after total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Objective was to examine the influence of preoperative and postoperative perceived social support on RTW status 6 months postoperatively.
