Aptamers-Diagnostic and Therapeutic Solution in SARS-CoV-2.

The SARS-CoV-2 virus is currently the most serious challenge to global public health. Its emergence has severely disrupted the functioning of health services and the economic and social situation worldwide. Therefore, new diagnostic and therapeutic tools are urgently needed to allow for the early detection of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and appropriate treatment, which is crucial for the effective control of the COVID-19 disease.

[Methods of rapid prototyping in preoperative planning in musculoskeletal reconstructive surgery].

Rapid Prototyping and CT based 3D modelling implementation in orthopaedic reconstructive surgery is presented in the article. Bone models rendered in SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) were used in pre-operative planning. Physical models were made based on imaging data obtained in standard CT scans.

[Effect of osteonecrosis on bone density and its management on the results of revision arthroplasty of the hip].

128 hips after revision arthroplasty in 115 patients which had been operated in our Ward in 1990-2001 were retrospectively evaluated. There were 99 women and 16 men with mean age: 68.9 years old.

[Acetabular bone grafting in primary total hip arthroplasty].

A group of 108 hips in 102 patients (81 females and 21 males; average age: 66.9 years) operated at our Centre between 1989 and 1998 was evaluated. There were 76 hips with idiopathic arthritis, 21 hips with rheumatoid arthritis, 2 hips with post-traumatic lesions and 9 cases of dysplastic arthritis of the hip.
