Background: Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) can cause considerable impairment of functional capacity and quality of life (QoL), especially in elderly individuals.
Objectives: To evaluate the impact of KOA on the functional capacity and QoL of elderly patients and to identify the factors associated with their impairment.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study including patients aged 65 years or more with primary KOA.
Article Synopsis
- - SBRT is a cutting-edge treatment for lung cancer that minimizes damage to healthy tissue and has improved patient care at the Salah Azaiez Institute through a thorough study of lung cancer patients.
- - The study analyzed 10 lung cancer patients from 2019 to 2022, focusing on their demographics, tumor characteristics, and treatment plans, finding that most patients were older males with varying stages of lung cancer including inoperable tumors and oligometastatic disease.
- - After treatment, patients experienced some acute side effects like cough and fatigue, but with no severe complications or local recurrences noted after a follow-up period, indicating that SBRT is promising yet still requires careful planning and management.
Article Synopsis
- - The integration of AI in lung cancer management aims to enhance diagnostic and treatment strategies by automatically segmenting lung tumors and classifying lung cancer using PET/CT imaging.
- - A modified ResNet-50 model was utilized for accurate tumor segmentation, producing 3D models that help visualize tumor boundaries for better treatment planning.
- - The study's AI framework showed strong performance in classifying T stages of lung tumors, which is crucial for determining treatment options and assessing prognosis, ultimately improving patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- The study looked at the connection between periorbital melanosis (POM), which causes dark circles around the eyes, insulin resistance (IR), and vitamin D levels.
- Researchers compared 100 patients with POM to 100 healthy people to see how their vitamin D and IR indicators matched up.
- They found that people with POM had higher IR and lower vitamin D levels, suggesting POM could be a helpful sign for early detection of these health issues.
Essential oils have been recognised for their potential benefits in oral care. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antiproliferative activity of essential oils derived from four Zingiberaceae species. A combination of GC/MS and GC-FID was employed to analyse these essential oils.
