Purpose: The purpose is to study whether pain and inflammation in knee joint osteoarthritis (OA) are associated with local synovial neuronal changes. Methods: Synovial biopsies were harvested from the medial and lateral knee compartments from OA patients undergoing total joint replacement surgery. All patients had predominant pain at the medial joint compartment. Pain and knee joint function we...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the outcomes of static versus articular spacers in two-stage reimplantation for the treatment of infected total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS The literature regarding the articulating and static spacers for treating infected TKA were searched in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Chinese Periodical Full-Text Database of CNKI, and Wanfang datab...

BACKGROUND Mobile bearing TKA prostheses were designed to minimize polyethylene wear by increasing implant conformity and reducing stresses between the articulating prosthesis components. It is the purpose of this study to assess the mid-term functionality and clinical outcome associated with a highly congruent mobile platform design, the e.motion(®) UC total knee prosthesis. MATERIAL AND MET...

Replicative segregation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) can produce large differences in the proportions of wild-type and mutant mtDNAs in different cell types of patients with mitochondrial encephalomyopathy. This is particularly striking in the skeletal muscle of patients with Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS), a sporadic disease associated with large-scale mtDNA deletions, and in sporadic patients wi...

Because of demographic changes, ever greater demands are made of knee replacement systems by patients and surgeons. To meet these demands, knee joint systems with increased flexion are currently being marketed. The main hypothesis of the present study was to evaluate the functional outcome of a high flexion TKA in amid-term follow up. 75 consecutive patients (29 men and 46 women) who had primar...

Statistics of Indonesia’s (BPS) performance are not optimal since there is a lack integration among business processes. This has resulted in unsynchronized data, unstandardized processes, and inefficient IT investment. To encourage more qualified integrated BPS should optimize the knowledge sharing process (KSP) government employees statistical areas. study designed Knowledge Sharing System (KS...

In this paper, the Einstein AdS black brane solution in presence of quintessence context massive gravity is introduced. The ratio shear viscosity to entropy density for violates KSS bound by applying Dirichlet boundary and regularity on horizon conditions. Our result shows that value independent arbitrary dimensions.

PURPOSE To report the presentation of a rare case of Kearns-Sayre-like syndrome (KSS) CASE: A 14-year-old boy presented with progressive drooping of both upper eyelids for 10 years. Past history of right sided hemi-plegia and left facial nerve palsy was present. Examination (OU) showed total external ophthalmoplegia, ptosis and pigmentary retinopathy. The patient also had a short stature (heigh...
