Great variation was noticed in emergency department (ED) afflux in relation to daily weather conditions, including difficulties in arranging the correct number of orthopaedic on-calls on the floor. This study aimed to quantify the association between the number of patients referred to the orthopaedic team from the ED and weather conditions, particularly daily temperature and rain. Data were obtained from a large state research hospital's ED attendance.

- Recent studies highlight inflammation as a key factor in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) and osteoarthritis (OA), prompting this research to explore the effects of the anti-inflammatory drug oseltamivir on IVD and cartilage cells.
- The study involved isolating human lumbar IVD and cartilage tissues to assess cell viability and changes in important proteins (HIF-1α, IL-1β, NF-κB, and NLRP3 inflammasome) after oseltamivir treatment.
- Results showed that oseltamivir reduced cell proliferation and significantly altered protein expressions linked to inflammation and cellular health, suggesting its potential as a regenerative treatment for IVDD and OA.
Background: Prolonged operative time and blood loss may affect the success rate in total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of the current study was to evaluate the effects of the press-fit (PF) technique without screws combined with tranexamic acid (TXA) on operative time and intraoperative blood loss in THA.
Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 114 hips treated with THA between March 2017 and January 2021 in this study.
Background and objective Bone marrow edema (BME) is a rare condition caused by insufficient osseous blood supply and may result in severe pain that has adverse effects on patients' life. To date, various conservative treatments have been recommended for the treatment of BME, including analgesics, immobilization of the affected extremity, and iloprost infusion. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate the effectiveness of parenteral iloprost therapy in the treatment of BME detected in different skeletal locations.
