Obesity phenotypes and dyslipidemia in adults from four African countries: An H3Africa AWI-Gen study.
PLoS One
January 2025
Faculty of Health Sciences, Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, Johannesburg.
Introduction: The contribution of obesity phenotypes to dyslipidaemia in middle-aged adults from four sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries at different stages of the epidemiological transition has not been reported. We characterized lipid levels and investigated their relation with the growing burden of obesity in SSA countries.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa.
Data-Driven Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Strata Predict 90-Day Major Complications Following Total Knee Arthroplasty in Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, The George Washington University School of Medicine and Health Sciences, Washington, DC (Raftis, Zhao and Gu), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD (Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Harris, Dr. Kurian, and Thakkar), and the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, Richmond, VA (Golladay).
Introduction: Lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is a lack of literature that identifies eGFR levels those are associated with notable differences in risk of these complications. The purpose of this study was to create eGFR strata for CKD patients that are associated with varying risks of 90-day major complications following TKA.

Minerva Pediatr (Torino)
January 2025
Transalpine Center of Pediatric Sports Medicine and Surgery, University of Milano-Bicocca, Monza, Monza-Brianza, Italy.
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the difference between symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus (DLM) and healthy knees in terms of gait analysis.
Evidence Acquisition: A systematic review was conducted from the electronic databases PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Scopus. The review was performed on studies that reported data on kinematics, gait analysis, biomechanics in discoid lateral meniscus, before and after surgery.
Overcoming Hesitancy and Barriers to Care with Integration of Telemedicine in a Free Student-run Health Clinic.
J Prim Care Community Health
January 2025
University of California, Davis, Division of Hospital Medicine, Sacramento, CA, USA.
Introduction: Nadezhda Clinic is a free student-run health clinic that provides culturally sensitive primary care services to the underserved Russian-speaking population of the greater Sacramento area. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the clinic suspended in-person services and solely offered telemedicine visits. Most patients were hesitant to utilize telemedicine due to poor technological literacy, privacy concerns, and a preference for in-person care.

Minerva Obstet Gynecol
January 2025
Unit of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences for Mothers, Children and Adults, Policlinic University Hospital, University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Modena, Italy.
Introduction: Relaxin is a hormone primarily produced by the corpus luteum during pregnancy, and it plays a critical role in various physiological processes related to pregnancy and childbirth.
Evidence Acquisition: Studies have suggested a possible link between relaxin levels and preterm birth. Relaxin's effects on the cervix and pelvic ligaments suggest it could influence the mode of delivery.
