[What explains the "gendered reputation" of residency subjects? : Reasons for gendered specialty selection and careers in spine-surgery residency programs-compared to a "female" specialty].

Background: Currently, the proportion of women in academic education and residency is predominant, but specialty-specific distribution of leading positions is partly reciprocal (orthopedics/surgery). Are there any differences that indicate a gender-dependent redistribution in leadership positions already in the selection of postgraduate training?

Methods: Online survey with orthopedics/trauma surgery (OUC) and neurosurgery (NCH) residents. Comparison with gynecology (GYN).

In-hospital cardiac arrest and preceding National Early Warning Score (NEWS): A retrospective case-control study.

We aimed to describe and evaluate the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) in the 24 hours preceding an in-hospital cardiac arrest among general somatic ward patients.The 24 hours preceding the in-hospital cardiac arrest were divided into four timespans and analysed by a medical record review of 127:254 matched case-control patients. The median NEWS ranged from 3 (2-6) to 6 (3-9) points for cases vs 1 (0-3) to 1 (0-3) point for controls.

National Early Warning Score: A survey of registered nurses' perceptions, experiences and barriers.

Aims & Objectives: To describe registered nurses' perceptions, experiences and barriers for using the National Early Warning Score in relation to their work experience and medical affiliation.

Background: Indications of inconsistencies in adherence to the National Early Warning Score have emerged.

Design: Web-based questionnaire study.

Glut 1 in Cancer Cells and the Inhibitory Action of Resveratrol as A Potential Therapeutic Strategy.

An important hallmark in cancer cells is the increase in glucose uptake. GLUT1 is an important target in cancer treatment because cancer cells upregulate GLUT1, a membrane protein that facilitates the basal uptake of glucose in most cell types, to ensure the flux of sugar into metabolic pathways. The dysregulation of GLUT1 is associated with numerous disorders, including cancer and metabolic diseases.

The National Early Warning Score predicts mortality in hospital ward patients with deviating vital signs: A retrospective medical record review study.

Aims And Objectives: To evaluate whether the scale used for assessment of hospital ward patients could predict in-hospital and 30-day mortality amongst those with deviating vital signs; that is, that patients classified as medium or high risk would have increased risk of in-hospital and 30-day mortality compared to patients with low risk.

Background: The National Early Warning Score (NEWS) is a widely adopted scale for assessing deviating vital signs. A clinical risk scale that comes with the NEWS divides the risk for critical illness into three risk categories, low, medium and high.

A randomized RSA study concentrating especially on continuous migration.

Background and purpose - There is a general call for phased introduction of new implants, and one step in the introduction is an early evaluation of micromotion. We compared the micromotion in the Triathlon and its predecessor, the Duracon total knee prosthesis, concentrating especially on continuous migration over 5 years of follow-up. Patients and methods - 60 patients were randomized to receive either a cemented Triathlon total knee prosthesis or a cemented Duracon total knee prosthesis.

2-year follow-up report on micromotion of a short tibia stem. A prospective, randomized RSA study of 59 patients.

Background And Purpose: A shortened tibial stem could influence the early prosthetic fixation. We therefore compared the short stem to the standard-length stem using radiostereometric analysis (RSA) as primary outcome measure.

Patients And Methods: 60 patients were randomized to receive a cemented Triathlon total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with a tibial tray of either standard or short stem length.

Similar early migration when comparing CR and PS in Triathlon™ TKA: A prospective randomised RSA trial.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the early migration of the cruciate retaining and posterior stabilising versions of the recently introduced Triathlon™ total knee system, with a view to predicting long term fixation performance.

Methods: Sixty patients were prospectively randomised to receive either Triathlon™ posterior stabilised cemented knee prosthesis or Triathlon™ cruciate retaining cemented knee prosthesis. Tibial component migration was measured by radiostereometric analysis postoperatively and at three months, one year and two years.

The effect of tourniquet use on fixation quality in cemented total knee arthroplasty a prospective randomized clinical controlled RSA trial.

Background: A concern that arises with any change in technique is whether it affects the long-term implant stability. The objective of this study was to evaluate the early migration, measured by radiostereometric analysis (RSA), and the functional outcome of the Triathlon™ cemented knee prosthesis, operated on with or without a tourniquet. During the last decades RSA has emerged as a way to assess prosthetic fixation and long time prognosis.

Does a new knee design perform as well as the design it replaces?

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the early migration characteristics and functional outcome of the Triathlon cemented knee prosthesis with its predecessor, the Duracon cemented knee prosthesis (both Stryker).

Methods: A total 60 patients were prospectively randomised and tibial component migration was measured by radiostereometric analysis (RSA) at three months, one year and two years; clinical outcome was measured by the American Knee Society score and the Knee Osteoarthritis and Injury Outcome Score.

Results: There were no statistically significant differences in rotation or translation around or along the three coordinal axes, or in the maximum total point motion (MTPM) during the two-year follow-up.
