BACKGROUND Patient-reported scoring systems have recently been used after surgical procedures. The purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the patient-reported outcomes of femoral osteotomy and total hip arthroplasty (THA) for osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). METHODS Forty-two symptomatic ONFH patients with asymptomatic contralateral hip underwent either transtrochanteric a...

A field experiment was conducted at the Agriculture Research Farm, Bhagwant University, Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, during rabi seasons of 2020-21 and 2021-22. There were Ten treatments imposed in chickpea viz., T1- Control, T2- Farmers practice (50 kg DAP ha-1), T3- RDF, T4- FYM @ 10 tha-1, T-5 Vermicompost @5 T6- RDF + 5 T7- T8- 75% FYM@ 2.5 tha-1 1.0 T9- 50% T10- 25% 5.0 tha-1. These evaluated ...

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) is associated with greater blood loss than primary THA. Jehovah's Witnesses will not accept transfusions of blood or blood products and are thus at an increased risk for complications due to perioperative anemia. The purpose of this study was to report the clinical outcomes, radiographic outcomes, morbidity, and mortality of Jehovah's Witnesses who were med...

Tetrahydroaminoacridine (THA) is a centrally active anticholinesterase that also interacts with neuronal K+ and Na+ channels and cardiac Ca2+ channels. The effects of THA on neuronal voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels are not known. We tested the effects of THA (25 nM-250 microM) on the Ca2+ current components of acutely dissociated rat nodose ganglion and dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using ...

Metal-on-metal (MoM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be associated with adverse metal reactions, including pseudotumors. This case report describes a 58-year-old female with an MoM THA-related pseudotumor that caused unilateral leg edema from compression of her external iliac vein. After thorough preoperative workup to rule out infection and deep vein thrombosis and consultation with a vascula...
