Ultrasound-Guided Bone Surgery: A New Perspective
Metatarsalgia is a frequent cause of forefoot pain. Surgical treatment is based on the performance of osteotomies at the level of the minor radii to restore a normal distribution of pressure within the forefoot and improve the biomechanics during gait.
The Surgical Treatment of Advanced Urinary Incontinence
Purpose: Current treatments of urgency urinary incontinence (UUI) are aimed to reduce the neurological influence on bladder detrusor muscle function. A previous observation after posterior exenteration led to the hypothesis that UUI is caused by a laxity of the uterosacral ligaments (USL). In a previous Clinical Phase I trial in patients with UUI continence was achieved in 40% of patients by replacement of the USL. The results supported the concept of a Clinical Phase II trial in which only patients who lost urine after urgency (advanced UI) were treated by replacement of the USL. The aim of the study was to evaluate the cause why some patients became continent while others remained incontinent after replacement of the USL.
Virtual Reality in Chronic Pain Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review
Approximately 19% of adults complain of chronic pain, which poses considerable physical, mental, and economic burdens. Conventional chronic pain management includes physical therapy, analgesic drugs, and the avoidance of pain triggers. Metaverse-related technologies such as virtual reality (VR) are promising complementary approaches. This review aimed to systematically analyse the applications of VR in chronic pain management in the context of rehabilitation.
Preclinical Protective Activity of Lutein on Diclofenac-induced Hepatotoxicity
Diclofenac (DF), a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, may cause hepatotoxicity. Lutein (LT), a naturally occurring compound, has potential therapeutic activities. The protective activity of LT against DF-induced hepatotoxicity in adult Wistar rats was evaluated in this study.
How to Provide a Sufficient Supply of Safe, Effective and Quality-assured Blood and Blood Components in Emergency Situations
Background: Emergency situations can be personal and medical but also external and humanitarian (armed conflicts). In each situation a preparedness plan consisting of a risk assessment and gap analysis, emergency preparedness protocol, response and recovery protocol are needed. Objective: To discuss the question “how to provide a sufficient supply of safe, effective and quality blood and blood components in emergency situations?’”
