Hip dislocation remains a major concern following total hip arthroplasty due to its high frequency and economic burden. This article evaluates the cost-effectiveness regarding dual mobility as an alternative to standard implant designs. A review of literature analyzing the PubMed Central database was undertaken using the following terms in the primary query: dual mobility, cost-effectiveness, cost-analysis, or economic analysis. Dual mobility systems may be a cost-effective alternative when the price of the implant does not exceed the traditional system by $1023. Dual mobility cups may be an essential component for the future success of value-based total hip arthroplasty.

We aimed to study the effect of Parkinson's disease (PD) and motor-cognitive load on the interplay between activation level and spatial complexity. To that end, 68 PD patients and 30 controls underwent electroencephalography (EEG) recording while executing visual single- and dual- Go/No-go tasks. The EEG underwent source localization, followed by parcellation of the neural activity into 116 regions of interest.

Background/objectives: This study aimed to determine if, compared with exercise-only (EO) and control (C) groups, adults in a DT training program improved measures of cognitive and/or physical functioning.
Methods: Thirty-five participants (Mage = 65.

Background: Gait and balance deficiencies may be important indicators of cognitive impairment, distinguishing dementia from normal cognition (NC). It is unclear whether this extends to pre-dementia stages of disease. Study goals were to: assess patterns of mobility across early stages of disease and identify specific measures that distinguish individuals with subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

A dual-stage model for classifying Parkinson's disease severity, through a detailed analysis of Gait signals using force sensors and machine learning approaches, is proposed in this study. Parkinson's disease is the primary neurodegenerative disorder that results in a gradual reduction in motor function. Early detection and monitoring of the disease progression is highly challenging due to the gradual progression of symptoms and the inadequacy of conventional methods in identifying subtle changes in mobility.

Charge-carrier compensation in topological semimetals amplifies the Nernst signal and simultaneously degrades the Seebeck coefficient. In this study, we report the simultaneous achievement of both a large Nernst signal and an unsaturating magneto-Seebeck coefficient in a topological nodal-line semimetal TaAs single crystal. The unique dual-high transverse and longitudinal thermopowers are attributed to multipocket synergy effects: the combination of a strong phonon-drag effect and the two overlapping highly dispersive conduction and valence bands with electron-hole compensation and high mobility, promising a large Nernst effect; the third Dirac band causes a large magneto-Seebeck effect.
