AI Article Synopsis

  • The study explores the effects of pelvic obliquity (PO) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) on clinical outcomes, comparing patients with less than 2° of PO (NT group) to those with 2° or more (O group).
  • Results showed that the O group had significantly lower postoperative hip function scores and larger preoperative PO and poorer lumbar flexibility.
  • The research identifies younger age, larger preoperative PO, and decreased lumbar mobility as key risk factors for residual PO after surgery.

Article Abstract

Purpose: It is not uncommon for patients with hip disorders to present with pelvic obliquity (PO), and residual PO after total hip arthroplasty (THA) may not only affect hip joint function but also cause adjacent intervertebral joint disorders. This study aimed to investigate the postoperative PO impact on clinical outcomes and risk factors by comparing patients who had PO after THA to those who did not.

Methods: A single-center, retrospective cohort study was conducted. A total of 103 patients who underwent THA were included in this study from 2018 to 2020. Demographics, functional outcomes, and spinopelvic parameters were compared between post-THA PO of less than 2° (NT group, 55 patients) and PO of 2° or more (O group, 48 patients). Multivariate analysis was performed using factors with significant differences in univariate analysis.

Results: Postoperative Harris Hip Score Activity was significantly lower in the T group than in the NT group (p = 0.031). Preoperative PO was smaller in the NT group than in the T group (p = 0.001). Preoperative lumbar bending range (LBR) was significantly more flexible in the NT group than in the T group. In the logistic regression analysis, Age (odds ratio 0.957, 95% CI 0.923-0.993, p = 0.020), preoperative PO (odds ratio 1.490, 95% CI 1.100-2.020, p = 0.001), and LBR (odds ratio 0.848, 95% CI 0.756-0.951, p = 0.005) were found to be significant factors.

Conclusion: Younger age and large preoperative PO, and poor lumbar spine mobility were identified as risk factors for residual postoperative PO.

Department of Hospital Pharmaceutics, School of Pharmacy, Showa University, Tokyo, Japan.

This study aimed to determine the risk of emergency admission by ambulance in patients taking potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). We included 273,932 patients aged over 75 years of age admitted between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2019, using the Japan Medical Data Center medical insurance database containing anonymized patient data. We excluded patients without a history of admission.

Background: Considering that peripheral blood biomarkers are prognostic predictors for several human tumors, this study aimed to comparatively analyze the association of hematological alterations with the incidence of epithelial dysplasia (ED) and oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) in male and female mice treated with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4NQO) and ethanol (EtOH).

Methods: 120 C57Bl/6J mice (60 males and 60 females) were allocated to four groups (n = 15). They were treated firstly either with 5 mg/mL propylene glycol (PPG) or 100 μg/mL 4NQO in the drinking water for 10 weeks, followed by sterilized water (HO) or 8% EtOH (v/v) for 15 weeks, as follows: PPG/HO, PPG/EtOH, 4NQO/HO, and 4NQO/EtOH (CEUA-UFU, #020/21).

Perceived risk for HIV acquisition among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) may not align with their actual sexual HIV exposure. Factors associated with low/moderate perceived risk among GBMSM eligible for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (based on their high estimated HIV exposure) have been poorly described in Latin America. This is a secondary analysis of a 2018 web-based cross-sectional survey in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru.
