Decreased Association Between Patellar Axial Malalignment and Patellar Height and Increased Association Between Patellar Axial Malalignment and Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove During Weightbearing.
Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children/Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, PR China.
Background: Nonweightbearing preoperative assessments avoid quadriceps contraction that tends to affect patellar motion and appear to be inaccurate in quantifying anatomic factors, which can lead to incorrect corrections and postoperative complications.
Questions/purposes: (1) Does the relationship of patellar axial malalignment and other anatomic factors change during weightbearing? (2) What anatomic factor was most strongly correlated with recurrent patellar dislocation during weightbearing?
Methods: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited participants at our institution between January 2023 and September 2023. During this time, all patients with recurrent patellar dislocations received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans; control patients who received unilateral CT scans because of injuries or benign tumors received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans.
Simplified Technique for Correcting Intraocular Lens Decentration in Scleral-Sutured Fixation Surgery.
Retina
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology and Vision Science, Eye and ENT Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 200031, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To describe a simplified technique for correcting intraocular lens (IOL) decentration during scleral-sutured IOL fixation surgery.
Methods: During surgery, Purkinje images were utilized to assess IOL positioning. A straightforward IOL decentration adjustment technique was employed when necessary.
Effects of different types of Tai Chi intervention on motor function in older adults: a systematic review.
Aging Clin Exp Res
January 2025
Department of Nursing, Universiti Putra Malaysia, Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia.
Background: Tai Chi (TC) is widely acknowledged for its positive impact on improving motor function in older adults. Nevertheless, limited research has directly compared the effects of different TC styles on older adults with functional impairments.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the impact of different TC styles on motor function in older adults with functional impairments.
Clinical characteristics and BGA-optimized pretest probability of pulmonary embolism in the elderly.
Med Klin Intensivmed Notfmed
January 2025
University Heart Center Lübeck, Department of Cardiology, Angiology and Intensive Care Medicine, University of Lübeck, German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), partner site Hamburg/Kiel/Lübeck, Ratzeburger Allee 160, 23538, Lübeck, Germany.
Background: Pulmonary arterial embolism (PE) is not well characterized in elderly patients. In addition, unnecessary computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) examinations are often performed within this patient group, especially if the pretest probability is low.
Objective: To identify differences in clinical presentation in patients aged ≥80 years compared to patients <80 years and the effect of a BGA-optimized pretest probability to reduce unnecessary CTPAs according to age category.
Continuous Glucose Monitoring vs Fingerstick Monitoring for Hemoglobin A Control in Veterans.
Fed Pract
November 2024
Veterans Affairs Sioux Falls Health Care System, South Dakota.
Background: Patients with diabetes have traditionally been required to use fingerstick testing to self-monitor their glucose levels. However, continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) collect glucose readings throughout the day and display daily trends, which allow clinicians to individualize treatment to achieve hemoglobin A (HbA) goals and simplify medication regimens. While studies have shown that CGMs improve HbA levels compared to fingerstick testing, this research has focused on type 1 diabetes and excluded veterans and patients on insulin therapy.
