PURPOSE A pilot study was conducted to determine whether rivaroxaban (Xarelto, Janssen Pharmaceuticals) resulted in a lower 30-day all-cause readmission rate compared with enoxaparin (Lovenox, Sanofi-Aventis) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at a community hospital. METHODS The study was a single-center, retrospective, chart-review investigation involving pa...

BACKGROUND Venous thoromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most significant complications after hip surgeries. Many studies have been reported about the incidence of VTE after THA, but a small number of reports were found concerning Periacetabular osteotomy, Revision THA and Surgery for hip fracture postoperatively. Furthermore, there exists no comparative study of the incidence of VTE among major ...

BACKGROUND Several international studies have reported negative associations between hospital and/or provider volume and risk of postoperative death following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The only Canadian studies to report on this have been based in Ontario and have found no such association. We describe associations between postoperative deaths following THA and provider caseload volume, als...

In 50 patients with non-infected total hip arthroplasties (THA), 233 C-reactive protein (CRP) values were obtained over a three-year period. Six of these 50 patients occasionally had CRP values of over 20 mg/l. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and CRP concentration were measured in 23 patients with deep infections of THA before revision. In 11 patients the infections were caused by coag...

BACKGROUND To investigate the differences in the perioperative serum cortisol, C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels between aged and middle-aged patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Sixty patients (30 aged and 30 middle-aged) undergoing THA for osteoarthritis between August 2016 and January 2017 participated in this study. Blood samples were collected ...

Naturally occurring high-Mr hyaluronan, bound to the surface of nanoliposomes (denoted targeted hyaluronan liposomes, or tHA-LIP), is a candidate for active targeting to tumors, many of which overexpress the hyaluronan receptors CD44 and RHAMM. The surface-bound hyaluronan also provides a hydrophilic coat that, similar to polyethylene glycol, may promote long-term circulation. We recently repor...

We surveyed 343 young women with 420 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) regarding pregnancy and childbirth after THA. The mean age at surgery was 35 years (18 to 45). The mean length of follow-up after the initial arthroplasty was 16 years (6 to 27). Of these 343 women, 47 (13.7%) had a successful pregnancy after their primary THA. The first baby after a THA was delivered vaginally in 30 patients ...

Tacrine (THA), used in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, is known to induce hepatotoxicity, the mechanisms of which remain to be fully established. We have previously shown that THA reduced intracellular glutathione concentration in rat hepatocytes in primary culture, thus pointing to a possible role for oxidative stress in THA toxicity. To test this, the effects of antioxidant molecules, n...
