AI Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures assist in managing osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms to potentially delay total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Current intra-articular injections provide only temporary relief, prompting the development of new methods.
- Techniques like genicular artery embolization and genicular nerve ablation have shown promise in improving pain control and quality of life for those with mild-to-moderate OA, potentially serving as alternatives to traditional injections.
Article Abstract
Minimally invasive interventional radiology procedures play an adjunctive role in treating the symptoms of osteoarthritis (OA) with the hopes of delaying total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, currently available intra-articular injections offer only short-term benefits. This has led to evolution of new techniques such as genicular artery embolization and genicular nerve ablation, which show benefit in pain control and quality of life, especially for mild-to-moderate OA, positioning these techniques as potential alternatives to intra-articular injections to help delay TKA.

Background: Multimodal prehabilitation programs, which may incorporate nutritional supplementation and exercise, have been developed to combat sarcopenia in surgical patients to enhance post-operative outcomes. However, the optimal regime remains unknown. The use of beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate (HMB) has beneficial effects on muscle mass and strength.

Human adenoviruses (HAdVs) are known to be highly contagious pathogens. They are commonly associated with mild respiratory infections in young children but can also cause severe life-threatening infections. Human adenovirus types 4 and 7 have frequently been reported to cause pneumonia in immunocompetent youths and adults.

The treatment landscape for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has evolved significantly with the introduction of Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), such as Tofacitinib (TOFA), which offer a new therapeutic option for patients who have failed or are intolerant to conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs). Safety concerns, particularly related to cardiovascular and cancer risks, prompted a need for additional investigation in real-world clinical settings. This study aimed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness and predictors of response to TOFA in two subpopulations of RA patients, categorized by differing cardiovascular risk profiles.

The aim of this study was to evaluate patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) for the potential reperfusion of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVM) treated by catheter embolization using coils or embolization plugs and to analyze causes of possible reperfusion in order to further improve treatment. This retrospective study analyzed the data of 345 patients who underwent screening for pulmonary arteriovenous malformations in cases of suspected or confirmed HHT (Osler's disease). Of these, 118 patients with PAVM that underwent catheter embolization and had at least one follow-up study were included in our study and evaluated for potential reperfusion.
