Article Synopsis
- Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a highly successful surgery for hip osteoarthritis, but complications like aseptic loosening (AL) and periprosthetic osteolysis (PPOL) are common and account for nearly half of revision surgeries.
- This study will involve 63 patients divided into three groups to investigate alterations in specific miRNAs that might be linked to the development of AL and PPOL after THA.
- The aim is to identify inflammation-related miRNAs as potential biomarkers to better understand and predict complications in patients after hip surgery.
Background: There is a need for unified guidance in the management of acneiform rash induced by epidermal growth factor receptor inhibitors (EGFRi) among dermatologists.
Objective: To establish unified international guidelines for the management of acneiform rash caused by EGFR inhibitors, based on an experts' Delphi consensus.
Methods: The initiative was led by five members of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology Task Force 'Dermatology for Cancer Patients' who developed a questionnaire that was circulated to a group of 32 supportive oncodermatology experts in Europe, Canada, Argentina, the US States and Asia.
