The concept of femoro-acetabular impingement (FAI) rests on three pillars: cam-deformity, pincer-deformity and abnormal femoral torsion. Several treatment modalities exist, ranging from conservative management to open or arthroscopic surgery. The type of treatment depends on the pathomorphology, the severity of symptoms, thepatient's age and the extent of the degenerative lesions.

  • Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an expensive orthopedic procedure affecting healthcare costs significantly in Austria and Switzerland, prompting a comparative cost analysis.

Secondary use of data for research purposes is especially important in rare diseases (RD), since, per definition, data are sparse. The European Joint Programme on Rare Diseases (EJP RD) aims at developing an RD infrastructure which supports the secondary use of data. Significant amounts of RD data are a) distributed and b) available only in pseudonymised format.

We evaluated glycemia and triglyceride, hepatic, muscular, and renal damage markers, redox profile, and leptin and ghrelin hormone levels in COVID-19 patients. We also conducted statistical analysis to verify the potential of biomarkers to predict poor prognosis and the correlation between them in severe cases. We assessed glycemia and the levels of triglycerides, hepatic, muscular, and renal markers in automatized biochemical analyzer.
