Article Synopsis
- * It highlights the importance of understanding the underlying mechanisms that link PsA and Gout, including the role of hyperuricemia and monosodium urate crystals.
- * The authors call for more research to improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment protocols for patients experiencing both conditions, given the potential for misdiagnosis and treatment complications.
Aim: To measure the level of adherence of patients with primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) to an interventional therapeutic and rehabilitation programme and investigate factors that hinder patients' adherence.
Methods: A total of 154 participants with primary knee osteoarthritis (KOA) were divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention protocol included patient education on the nature and treatment of KOA, therapeutic exercise, a weight loss programme for overweight patients, and a physical therapy programme.
Article Synopsis
- Higher rates of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantations are linked to increased lead failures and the need for transvenous lead extractions (TLE), prompting this study to evaluate TLE admissions and safety outcomes from 2016 to 2019.* -
- The study analyzed 30,128 TLE hospitalizations, finding a 3.21% in-hospital mortality rate, with factors like age and existing health conditions raising mortality; those with a history of sternotomy fared better than those without.* -
- Despite a low overall mortality rate, female patients experienced more cardiac tamponade but had shorter hospital stays and lower costs, with no significant gender difference in mortality rates.*
Background: Perclose ProGlide (PPG) Suture-Mediated Closure System™ is safe and can reduce time to hemostasis following procedures requiring arterial access.
Aims: We aimed to compare PPG to figure of 8 suture in patients who underwent interventional catheter procedures requiring large bore venous access (LBVA) (≥13 French).
Methods: In this physician-initiated, randomized, single-center study [clinicaltrials.
