Symmetries of the vertical ground reaction force, contact time and area, and center of pressure during gait in female patients 3 weeks post-total hip arthroplasty.

Background: Few studies have assessed vertical ground reaction force, contact time, contact area, and center of pressure during gait in the early phase post-total hip arthroplasty. This study aimed to investigate whether these parameters are more pronounced in participants post-total hip arthroplasty compared to healthy controls.

Methods: We included 22 female participants who underwent total hip arthroplasty (age, 68.

Physiological Modeling of the Vascularized Human Lung Organoid.

Studies using human lung organoids (hLO) have focused on differentiation of lung epithelial subtypes into distal alveolar unit. A major question has been whether introducing endothelial cells (EC) and resultant vascularization alter development of hLO. We describe herein a method for vessel infiltration of hLO in which we determined differences of these hLOs with standard avascular hLOs.

Effects of lower limb vibration on hip pain and function after total hip arthroplasty: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: A vibration roller is an effective tool for reducing muscle soreness and improving damaged muscle function. However, its efficacy in reducing hip pain and improving function after total hip arthroplasty is unclear. We investigated the effect of lower limb vibration using a vibration roller on postoperative hip pain and function after total hip arthroplasty in a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Trapa Bispinosa Roxb. Inhibits the Insulin-Dependent AKT/WNK1 Pathway to Induce Autophagy in Mice with Type 2 Diabetes.

Purpose: To elucidate the antiglycation activity of Trapa bispinosa Roxb. extract (TBE) and the related mechanism using a mouse model with type 2 diabetes.

Materials And Methods: We prepared control mice by giving them a normal diet, leptin-deficient ob/ob mouse (ob/ob mice) with a normal diet (normal ob/ob mice), and ob/ob mice with a diet containing TBE (TBE ob/ob mice).

Incidences and circumstances of falls among women following total hip arthroplasty on long-term follow-up.

Background: Patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty have an increased risk of falls during the first postoperative year. However, it is unclear whether patients after total hip arthroplasty will continue to be at high risk of falls more than 1 year postoperatively. To better understand whether the risk of falls changes after a 1-year period, we investigated the incidences and circumstances of falls in women patients for 5 years after total hip arthroplasty.
