Long term follow up of radiosynovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate in haemophilic haemarthrosis.

Long term follow up of radiosynovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate in haemophilic haemarthrosis.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the long term effect of radiation synovectomy with yttrium-90 silicate in haemophiliac patients with recurrent haemarthrosis. METHODS The bleeding frequency and the mobility of the joint were recorded in 16 joints of 14 patients 1 year before radiosynovectomy and during follow up, which ranged from 3 to 6 years. Patients evaluated the effect of...

Yttrium-90 silicate radiosynovectomy treatment of painful synovitis in knee osteoarthritis. Results after 6 months.

Our aim was to evaluate the response of radiation synovectomy (RS) with yttrium-90 silicate ((90)Y-S) treatment of synovitis in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to derive factors that influence this response. The RS treatment response was assessed prospectively in 74 painful OA knees of 74 patients during a period of 6 months follow up. The duration of the disease was 24 +/- 9 months....

Increase in antimullerian hormone in long-term follow-up of patients with endometrioma after laparoscopic surgery

Abstract Background: Endometriosis is a common disease which is characterized by the development of the endometrial tissue outside the uterus. The most common location of endometriosis is the ovary, occurring in 17-44% of affected patients . It is a chronic disease mostly affecting women at reproductive age. Therefore, it is important to predict and protect the patients’ ovarian function. The...

Use of radiosynovectomy in recurrent warfarin-related haemarthrosis in degenerative arthritis.

Radiosynovectomy is a local and minimally invasive radiotherapy for treating various chronic inflammatory arthritis such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis and haemophilic arthropathy. In haemophilic arthropathy, it reduces the frequency of haemarthrosis and delays the development of severe joint destruction, which ultimately requires surgical intervention. Its role in warfarin-related hae...
