Background: Evaluating the correlation between degenerative meniscus tears and medial meniscus extrusion is necessary to determine the appropriate treatment plan for early-stage knee osteoarthritis. This study evaluated the relationship between degenerative meniscal tears and medial meniscus extrusion in early-stage knee osteoarthritis by using ultrasonography.
Methods: A total of 132 knees from 123 patients with early-stage knee osteoarthritis were evaluated retrospectively.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how blood flow signals (BFSs) in the bone can help find bone problems called bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with early knee arthritis.
- They checked 77 patients who had knee pain and used two types of tests: ultrasound (US) for BFSs and MRI for BMLs.
- The results showed a strong link between BFSs and BMLs, meaning BFSs can be a good way to check for bone issues in the knee.
Article Synopsis
- * The researchers examined 98 knees with early KOA, finding key findings such as synovial hyperplasia, knee joint effusion, and medial meniscus tears using ultrasound.
- * Results showed correlations between these findings and various KOOS subscales, with synovial hyperplasia and medial meniscus extrusion in upright position being particularly associated with quality of life and other symptoms.
Key Clinical Message: Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) carries a good prognosis if treated early and appropriately, but some cases can have life-threatening events. We underscored the need to consider secondary PHA as one of the differential diagnoses of hyponatremia and hyperkalemia in infancy.
Abstract: Pseudohypoaldosteronism (PHA) type 1 has two classifications; the primary type, caused by genetic abnormalities that develop during neonatal and infancy periods, and the secondary type, caused by urinary tract malformation and urinary tract infection.
Objective: To evaluate the potential impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and vaccinations on otologic diseases, including facial nerve paralysis (including Ramsay Hunt syndrome), vestibular neuritis, sudden sensorineural hearing loss, and Meniere's disease.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we conducted a time-series analysis employing a causal impact algorithm on a large-scale inpatient database in Japan. We compared the actual number of hospitalized patients with otologic diseases to two predictions: one without any covariates and another with a covariate accounting for the reduction in the number of hospitalized patients due to lockdown measures.
