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 ...

Primary cultures of rat cerebral cortical cells and cerebellar granule cells die by an apoptotic mechanism after more than 2 weeks in cultures in the absence of medium change and glucose supplement, a process termed age-induced apoptosis of cultured neurons. Our preliminary study has shown that age-induced apoptosis of cerebellar granule cells is protected by pretreatment with tetrahydroaminoac...

Abstract Introduction We determined the impact of deprivation and frailty at time diagnosis hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) on likelihood receiving total hip/knee arthroplasty (THA/TKA). Method used routinely collected primary care data (Clinical Practice Research Datalink), linked to Hospital Episode Statistics. Frailty was assessed OA using electronic index categorised as fit, mild, moderate,...

Parametric cquations dcscribing the growth of ice particles in the range 10-”-1 g are presented. Three subrangcs (10-11-5 X 5 X 10-s-10-4, and 10-4-1 g) are used. Thc parametric equations were developed with the aid of a complex method of calculating ice-particle growth. Two approaches to using the parametric equations in a simulation resembling a natural cloud situation are described. One meth...

PURPOSE To review patients with hip diseases undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) during 2 different periods. METHODS During the periods 1994 to 1996 and 2004 to 2006, 12 men and 28 women (mean age, 57 years) and 55 men and 78 women (mean age, 62 years) underwent THA for hip diseases, respectively. The aetiologies of the hip diseases were classified. Preand post-operative radiographs of th...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopaedic procedures and has relieved pain and improved hip function in millions of patients worldwide. Despite the success of modern prosthetic designs and bearing surfaces, around 10% of THA prostheses still fail within 10 years1. Improvements in surgical technique and prosthesis design have decreased the incidence of deep sepsis, d...

Background: This retrospective cohort study examines clinical and radiological outcomes of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) using uncemented extensively porous coated mono block femoral stems. Methods: Patients who were operated for THA at medical college Baroda, between January 2008 to December 2018, had least 36 months follow up included in the study. Details retrieved from hospital reco...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this systematic review of the literature was to identify the predictors of functional outcome after total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHOD A systematic literature search in Web of Science, CINAHL, EMBASE and PubMed was conducted on 23 June 2015. The articles were selected based on their quality, relevance and measurement of the predictive factor. The level of evidence...
