The authors discuss the risk of mechanical loosening and protrusion of a cemented endoprosthesis of the hip joint after operation which is one of the few possibilities of palliative treatment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. They deal in particular with specific features of surgical approaches whereby they select a modified method described by Eftekhar which makes it possible to resolve even severe grades of intrapelvic migration of the socket of a total endoprosthesis. The authors discuss possible complications which can be prevented if the relationship of intrapelvic structures to the protruded prosthesis is elucidated before operation. In a group of 1268 patients operated there were three with intrapelvic migration of a total endoprosthesis of the hip joint.

A scoping review and expert consensus on digital determinants of health.
Bull World Health Organ
February 2025
LSE Health, Department of Health Policy, London School of Economics and Political Science, Houghton Street, London, WC2A 2AE, London, England.
Objective: To map how social, commercial, political and digital determinants of health have changed or emerged during the recent digital transformation of society and to identify priority areas for policy action.
Methods: We systematically searched MEDLINE, Embase and Web of Science on 24 September 2023, to identify eligible reviews published in 2018 and later. To ensure we included the most recent literature, we supplemented our review with non-systematic searches in PubMed® and Google Scholar, along with records identified by subject matter experts.
Evaluation of a peer support group programme for vulnerable host population and refugees living with diabetes and/or hypertension in Lebanon: a before-after study.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.

Universidade Federal do Amazonas, Av. General Rodrigo Otávio, 3000, Coroado II, 69077-000 Manaus, AM, Brazil.
The Sr/Sr isotope ratio has been widely used as an indicator of provenance and migration of aquatic animals, and has applications in other areas such as in environmental and forensic studies. However, the modeling of the spatial distribution in the Amazon basin is still incipient, preventing large-scale applications. In this study, we present a baseline of the Sr/Sr isotope ratio in surface waters of the Amazon basin to infer the provenance and migration patterns of fish.

Department of Computer Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Istanbul Health and Technology University 34421 Istanbul, Türkiye.
In this study, the effects of ultrasound treatment on bioactive components and functional properties of hawthorn vinegar (Crataegus tanacetifolia) were investigated. Parameters such as total phenolic compound (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), ascorbic acid (AA), DPPH radical scavenging activity and CUPRAC reducing capacity were optimised by surface response method (RSM) and 14 min duration and 61.40 % amplitude were determined as the most suitable treatment conditions.

Objective: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths among women, with a disproportionate burden in sub-Saharan Africa. Understanding the cervical cancer stage and outcomes is crucial for developing effective interventions and reducing its burden. We aimed to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of cervical cancer stage distribution and survival outcomes in Africa.
