BACKGROUND Rates of hip arthroscopy have been on an exponential rise. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the rate and timing of subsequent total hip arthroplasty (THA) after hip arthroscopy and identify if rates of THA differed based on age, diagnosis of osteoarthritis, or arthroscopic procedure performed. METHODS The Humana administrative claims data set was reviewed from 2007 to 2014...

BACKGROUND Natural products represent an important source for agents of cancer prevention and cancer treatment. More than 60% of conventional anticancer drugs are derived from natural sources, particularly from plant-derived materials. In this study, 2α, 3α, 19β, 23β-tetrahydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (THA), a novel triterpenoid from the leaves of Sinojackia sarcocarpa, was isolated, and its ant...

BACKGROUND To address the long-term problems of bearing surface wear and osteolysis associated with conventional metal-polyethylene (M-PE) total hip arthroplasty (THA), metal-metal (M-M), and ceramic-ceramic (C-C) bearings have been introduced. These bearing surfaces are associated with unique risks and benefits and higher costs. However the relative risks of these three bearings in an older po...

in the present study, twenty two selected lines from eleven iranian eggplant (solanum melongena l.) landraces along with varamin landrace, as control, were studied in a randomized complete block design with three replications in three locations (karaj, varamin and dezful). sum of yield and marketing score for each line was recorded. analysis of variance for yield showed significant differences ...

BACKGROUND Metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty (MoM HRA) may offer potential advantages over total hip arthroplasty (THA) for certain patients with advanced osteoarthritis of the hip. However, the cost effectiveness of MoM HRA compared with THA is unclear. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES The purpose of this study was to compare the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of MoM HRA to THA. ...

BACKGROUND The surgical approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often based on surgeon preference and local traditions. The anterior muscle-sparing approach has recently gained popularity in Europe. We tested the hypothesis that patient satisfaction, pain, function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after THA is not related to the surgical approach. PATIENTS 1,476 patients identi...

Abstract Background Rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) is a type of pelvic performed to improve the bony coverage against femoral head for patients with dysplasia. The ideally evaluated three-dimensionally; however, there paucity published data regarding three-dimensional morphology in long-term excellent outcome after RAO. present study investigated characteristics RAO comparison normal hip...
