Survey of Orthopedic Surgeons' Perceptions of Adopting an Initiative With Cemented Hip Hemiarthroplasties for Fractures.

Introduction: Hip hemiarthroplasty is a surgical procedure that requires the adhesion of the prosthetic implant by utilizing a fixation technique, either cemented or noncemented. The current literature does not provide a clear recommendation on a superior technique, although many countries outside the US have guidelines recommending cemented over noncemented procedures. Further, surgeon perceptions and beliefs related to the cemented and noncemented techniques in hip arthroplasty fractures are generally unknown.

Continuous Glucose Monitoring Underreports Blood Glucose During a Simulated Ultraendurance Run in Eumenorrheic Female Runners.

Purpose: Continuous-glucose-monitoring (CGM) sensors provide near-real-time glucose data and have been introduced commercially as a tool to inform nutrition decisions. The aim of this pilot study was to explore how factors such as the menstrual phase, extended running duration, and carbohydrates affect CGM outcomes among trained eumenorrheic females in an outdoor simulated ultraendurance running event.

Methods: Twelve experienced female ultrarunners (age 39 [6] y) participated in this crossover study.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its relevance to French mental health system.

Objectives: The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is a landmark international treaty which embeds the human rights of people with disabilities, including mental disabilities, into international law. We aim to demonstrate the relevance of the CRPD for the protection of human rights of people with mental illness in France. We begin with a broad overview of its development and implementation at the level of the international community, and then describe the situation in France.

Hormone Replacement Therapy and Pulmonary Hypertension: A Review of the Literature.

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a multifactorial condition that encompasses a group of diseases characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance and pulmonary arterial pressure, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. The primary goals of PH treatment are to lower pulmonary arterial pressure, alleviate symptoms such as shortness of breath and chest pain, address modifiable risk factors, and manage the underlying cause, often a common advanced disease like chronic obstructive lung disease or left heart disease. While sex is an unchangeable risk factor for PH development, the presence or absence of estrogens has a significant influence on its progression.
