Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated medication adherence among Jordanian patients with dyslipidemia and examined how factors like health literacy, well-being, and doctor-patient communication affect adherence.
- Conducted from March to July 2023, the research involved 410 adults at a tertiary hospital, using several validated scales to gather data on adherence and related variables.
- Results indicated that older age, higher education, prior surgery, and better communication improved adherence, while smoking and lack of health insurance negatively impacted it, highlighting the need for interventions to enhance adherence.
Introduction: The lesser trochanter profile (LTP) method is an intraoperative fluoroscopic technique that can assess the femoral version and limit malrotation. The purpose of this study was to directly assess the accuracy and reliability of the LTP method, as well as determine the incidence of malrotation produced by this technique.
Methods: Three groups of observers (fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons, orthopedic residents, and medical students) utilized the LTP method to replicate pre-imaged rotation angles on a cadaveric femur bone.
Background: To rigorously derive easy to use formulae for the inclination angle for single cut rotation osteotomy that can be used for tibia deformity correction.
Method: Three theorems were proven using trigonometric identities and concepts of linear algebra. These were rigorously shown.
We aimed to investigate how dietary fructose and sodium impact blood pressure and risk of hypertensive target organ damage 10 years later. Data from = 3116 individuals were obtained from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. Four groups were identified based on the four possible combinations of the lower and upper 50th percentile for sodium (in mg) and fructose (expressed as percent of total daily calories).
