Patient-Reported Outcomes in Robotic-Assisted vs Manual Cementless Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Background: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) was introduced to provide surgeons with virtual preoperative planning and intraoperative information to achieve the desired surgical goals in an effort to improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcome measures following primary TKA using RA-TKA vs manual instrumentation.

Methods: This was a retrospective cohort review study comparing 393 primary RA-TKAs vs 312 manual TKAs at a minimum 2-year follow-up.

Intratympanic Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss: A Preliminary Prospective Study.

Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSNHL) is a distressing condition with limited treatment options. This prospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of intratympanic Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) as a salvage treatment for SSNHL. 56 consecutive patients with unilateral SSNHL, unresponsive to conventional treatments, were administered two intratympanic injections of autologous PRP 10 days apart and hearing threshold evaluated after one month.

Efficacy and Safety of Aurolab Aqueous Drainage Implant Compared With Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant for Refractory Glaucoma at One Year: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Glaucoma stands as a prominent contributor to irreversible vision impairment on a global scale. For decades, the Baerveldt Glaucoma Implant (BGI) has been used to treat refractory glaucoma. Yet, the cost-effective Aurolab Aqueous Drainage Implant (AADI) has gained clinical attention as a viable alternative for managing glaucoma.

Aetiology of patient dissatisfaction following primary total knee arthroplasty in the era of robotic-assisted technology.

Aims: Patient dissatisfaction following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with manual jig-based instruments has been reported to be as high as 30%. Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) has been increasingly used in an effort to improve patient outcomes, however there is a paucity of literature examining patient satisfaction after RA-TKA. This study aims to identify the incidence of patients who were not satisfied following RA-TKA and to determine factors associated with higher levels of dissatisfaction.

Temporal trends in Parkinson's disease among older adults in the United States from 1999 to 2020: Retrospective analysis from CDC WONDER database.

This retrospective study assessed the mortality trends related to Parkinson's Disease (PD) between 1999 and 2020. We assessed individuals aged 65 years and older and a total of 831,793 deaths were identified. Of these total number of deaths, place of death was accessible for 830,176 cases.
