Total Knee Replacement Sizing: Shoe Size Is a Better Predictor for Implant Size than Body Height
Background: Various sizes of implants need to be available during surgery. The purpose of this paper is to comparebody height and shoe size with implant sizes in patients who underwent total knee replacement surgery to see whichbiomarker is a better predictor for preoperative planning to determine implant size.Methods: A total of 100 knees, belonging to 50 females and 50 males, were observed. P...
متن کاملDetermining optimal window size for texture feature extraction methods
This paper presents a technique to determine optimal window sizes for the computational methods utilized to extract features from textured images. Those features are useful for both texture classification and segmentation. Window sizes are determined in order to outperform two complementary tasks, namely, texture feature evaluation and texture segmentation, which have opposite requirements. Thu...
متن کاملUltrasound-guided strategy for provisional stenting with focal balloon combination catheter: results from the randomized Strategy for Intracoronary Ultrasound-guided PTCA and Stenting (SIPS) trial.
BACKGROUND Intracoronary ultrasound (ICUS) has provided insights into vascular pathology and interventional therapy. The Strategy for ICUS-Guided PTCA and Stenting (SIPS) trial tested the hypothesis that routine ICUS guidance of coronary interventions improves outcome. METHODS AND RESULTS A single-center consecutive-patient randomized design (with 6-month angiographic and 2-year clinical foll...
متن کاملCutting Balloon Angioplasty versus Conventional Balloon Angioplasty for In-Stent Restenosis Treated by Intracoronary Radiation Therapy
Background: Cutting Balloon angioplasty (CBA) may be a useful treatment modality for in-stent restenosis (ISR) as it maintains a stable position during dilatation and results in potentially less injury than plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA). The purpose of this study was to compare CBA and POBA with intracoronary radiation therapy (IRT) for in-stent restenosis (ISR). Methods: We selected 157...
متن کاملUltrasound performs better than radiographs.
We applaud the British Thoracic Society (BTS) for its efforts to improve patient care through scientific evidence. We thus recognise the recent guidelines on pleural procedures and thoracic ultrasound (TUS) as an important attempt to develop a rational approach to chest sonography. 1 However, we are concerned that the BTS has reached conclusions based on a less complete review of TUS. The guide...
