Is there a relationship between recurrence and obesity in the three-year mid-term follow-up of patients who underwent high tibial osteotomy due to medial gonarthrosis?

Objectives: This study aimed to radiologically evaluate the possible relationship between the body mass index (BMI) and recurrence of varus deformity during the mid-term follow-up of patients treated for medial gonarthrosis.

Patients And Methods: Fifty-six patients (11 males, 45 females; mean age: 53.8±7.

The Prognostic Value of a Naples Score in Determining in-Hospital Mortality in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Endovascular Treatment.

: The Naples prognostic score (NPS), reflecting inflammation and nutritional status, has prognostic value, especially in cancer. This study evaluated its ability to predict in-hospital mortality in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients undergoing endovascular treatment (EVT). : We retrospectively studied 244 patients with AIS who were admitted between April 2020 and December 2023.

A systematic review and meta-analysis comparing the severity of core symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in females and males.

In the past decade, there have been substantial changes in diagnostic nomenclature. This study investigated sex differences in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptom severity based on Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV, DSM-IV(TR), and DSM-5 criteria, separating rating scale and clinical interview data in children and adults with ADHD. PubMed, PsycINFO, and Scopus were searched for published studies (1996-2021) reporting severity of attention, and hyperactivity/impulsivity in males and females.

Improving the Bioactivity and Antibiofilm Properties of Metallic Implant Materials via Controlled Surface Microdeformation.

Although metallic implants provide most of the required properties for bone-related applications, especially orthopedic implants, insufficient osseointegration, which may lead to loosening of the implant or prolonged healing time, is still an issue to be resolved. Osseointegration can be improved via application of various surface treatments on the metal surface. The current study focuses on a novel surface microdeformation method, which enables the formation of controlled surface patterns of various parameters.
