During total hip arthroplasty the final clinical position of the cementless CLS stem (Centerpulse) is not always identical to the position of the final rasp with which a successful trial reduction was performed. Therefore, the rasp-stem correspondence of CLS system (Centerpulse) was investigated in a laboratory study and compared to the CBC-T system (Mathys). Both systems showed an average rasp-stem mismatch below 2 mm in three orthogonal directions. It was found that this mismatch related to geometric differences at the corners between rasp and stem. The measured mismatch is not expected to have adverse clinical consequences.

Over-distraction has been shown to be a risk factor for cage subsidence and postoperative neck pain after anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF). Biomechanical studies have demonstrated increased adjacent segment intradiscal pressure after ACDF. The purpose of this study is to determine if over-distraction of the index disc has an effect on adjacent segment pathology.

In Tunisia, agriculture is the main source of livelihood for more than 75% of small and subsistence farmers with minimal use of technology. The use of information and communication technology (ICT),such as mobile applications, represents a pertinent opportunity for these smallholders to access agricultural innovation and market information and improve their farming technologies and farm management. Thus, ICT can act as a replacement to foster access to innovation for this category of farmers.

To compare perioperative outcomes between Holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) and robotic-assisted simple pasta-ectomy (RASP)for large-volume benign prostatic hyperplasia(> 80 ml). In August 2023, we undertook a comprehensive search of major global databases including PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, focusing solely on articles written in English. Studies that were merely reviews or protocols without any specific published data were omitted.

There are only a few clinical data on nononcologic procedures performed with the new Hugo™ robot-assisted surgery (RAS) system. Robot-assisted simple prostatectomy (RASP) is a minimally invasive treatment option for benign prostatic hyperplasia, and it demonstrated equal early functional and better perioperative outcomes as compared with open simple prostatectomy. In this article, we reported the first large series of RASP performed with Hugo RAS system.

Purpose: Cardiovascular agents commonly used in geriatric patients, are linked to potentially avoidable harm and might hence be a suitable substrate for medication review practices. Therefore, we sought to update and validate the content of the cardiovascular segment of the previously published Rationalization of Home Medication by an Adjusted STOPP list in Older Patients (RASP) List.
Methods: A three-step study was conducted by the pharmacy department in collaboration with the geriatric medicine and cardiology department at the University Hospitals Leuven, Belgium.
