Background: Many studies on closed suction drainage (CSD) in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) have demonstrated that it has no definite benefit. However, evidence of the clinical benefits of CSD in revision THA has not yet been established. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to investigate the benefits of CSD in revision THA.
Materials And Methods: We reviewed 107 hips of patients who underwent revision THA between June 2014 and May 2022, excluding cases of fracture and infection. We compared perioperative blood test results, calculated total blood loss (TBL), and postoperative complications, including allogenic blood transfusion (ABT), wound complications, and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), between the groups with and without CSD. Propensity score matching was conducted to balance patients' demographics and surgical factors.
Results: ABT, wound complications, and DVT were observed in 10.3% ( = 11), 5.6% (six), and 5.6% (six) of patients, respectively. There were no significant differences in ABT, calculated TBL, wound complications, and DVT between all patients and propensity score-matched patients with or without CSD. The calculated TBL was approximately 1200 mL and showed no significant difference between the two groups in the matched cohort ( = 0.40) but tended to have a greater volume in the drain group than in the non-drain group.
Conclusion: The routine use of CSD in revision THA for aseptic loosening may not be useful in clinical practice.

Background: The relationship between serum uric acid level (SUA) and periodontal diseases (PD) is still controversial, and few studies have been carried out in population with no element of metabolic syndrome especially in sub-Saharan Africa. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between PD and SUA in Cameroonian adults not suffering from metabolic syndrome.
Methods: We carried out a cross-sectional study including Cameroonians aged over 18 years recruited in the general population and free of metabolic syndrome elements.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Panax notoginseng saponin (PNS) has a variety of biological activities, such as improvement of myocardial ischemia, improvement of learning and memory, hypolipidemia, and immunomodulation. However, its protective mechanism on the central nervous system (CNS) is not clear.
Aim Of The Study: The present study initially evaluated the possible mechanism of PNS to improve cognitive dysfunction due to chronic sleep deprivation (CSD).

The frontal aslant tract (FAT) is a white matter tract connecting the superior frontal gyrus (SFG) to the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG). Its dorsal origin is identified in humans in the medial wall of the SFG, in the supplementary motor complex (SM-complex). However, empirical observation shows that many FAT fibres appear to originate from the dorsal, rather than medial, portion of the SFG.

This study aimed to systematically revise the available evidence on the effects of physical exercise training programmes on people with hypothyroidism. Comparative studies were searched in six electronic databases until April 2023. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database and the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies were used to determine the methodological quality of the randomized controlled trials and comparative studies respectively.

Background: Cervical spine degenerative disease (CSD) can cause shoulder pain, potentially confounding the management of patients with rotator cuff tears. This study aimed to investigate the relationships between CSD and rotator cuff repair (RCR).
Methods: A national administrative database (PearlDiver) was used to study 4 patient cohorts: (1) RCR only (RCRo), (2) RCR with concurrent CSD (RCRC), (3) RCR after a cervical spine procedure (RCRA), and (4) RCR before a cervical spine procedure (RCRB).
