Background: Intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture (IPFF) is one of the most frequent complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). This complication is a very important factor affecting rehabilitation, hospitalization time and cost of treatment. It may occur during the intramedullary reaming, removal or fixation of the stem The aim of the study was to identify risk factors of IPFF, in order to devise strategies that would minimize incidence of this complication in the future.
Material/methods: The study group consisted of patients who underwent hip surgery at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Medical University of Silesia in Katowice between January 2002 and December 2006. We included cases of primary total hip replacement (both cemented and uncemented), hemiarthroplasties, revision THAs with exchange of at least one of the elements and the Girdlestone procedures.
Results: The IPFF was diagnosed in 105 cases (101 patients), out of 1188 surgeries. We found the following risk factors for the primary THA: female gender, younger age, uncemented implant, the use of straight or revision stem, secondary osteoarthritis. For revision surgery there were: left hip surgery and implantation of revision stem.
Conclusions: We hope that identification of risk factors for the intraoperative periprosthetic femoral fracture would allow orthopaedic surgeons to select the group of patients with high risk of fracture and to devise strategies that would minimize incidence of this complication in the future.

Objective: Gallstones have gradually become a highly prevalent digestive disease worldwide. This study aimed to investigate the association of nine different obesity-related indicators (BRI, RFM, BMI, WC, LAP, CMI, VAI, AIP, TyG) with gallstones and to compare their predictive properties for screening gallstones.
Methods: Data for this study were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) for the 2017-2020 cycle, and weighted logistic regression analyses with multi-model adjustment were conducted to explore the association of the nine indicators with gallstones.

Background: Risk factors and mechanisms of cognitive impairment (CI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) are unclear. This study used a neuropsychological battery, MRI, ERP and CSF and plasma biomarkers to predict long-term cognitive impairment after aSAH.
Materials And Methods: 214 patients hospitalized with aSAH (n = 125) or unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIA) (n = 89) were included in this prospective cohort study.

Background: Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) remains a significant challenge in cardiac surgery, presenting high risks of adverse outcomes such as permanent neurological dysfunction and mortality despite advances in medical technology and surgical techniques. This study investigates the use of quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) to monitor and predict neurological outcomes during the perioperative period in TAAD patients.
Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted at the hospital, involving patients undergoing TAAD surgery from February 2022 to January 2023.

Background: Understanding based on up-to-date data on the burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is limited, especially regarding how subtypes contribute to the overall NCD burden and the attributable risk factors across locations and subtypes. We aimed to report the global, regional, and national burden of NCDs, subtypes, and attributable risk factors in 2021, and trends from 1990 to 2021 by age, sex, and socio-demographic index (SDI).
Materials And Methods: We used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 to estimate the prevalence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) for NCDs and subtypes, along with attributable risk factors.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignant tumor that originates from the epithelial cells of the colon and rectum. Global epidemiological data shows that in 2020, the incidence and mortality rate of CRC ranked third and second, respectively, posing a serious threat to people's health and lives. The factors influencing CRC are numerous and can be broadly categorized as modifiable and non-modifiable based on whether they can be managed or intervened upon.
