Genetic variation including nonsynonymous polymorphisms of a major aggrecanase, ADAMTS-5, in susceptibility to osteoarthritis
(2008)
Objective. Given the recent characterization of ADAMTS-5 as the main aggrecanase of cartilage destruction in mouse models, we explored whether genetic variation and, in particular, putative damaging polymorphisms in the ...
Clinical Outcome Study and Radiological Findings of Zweymuller Metal on Metal Total Hip Arthroplasty. A Follow-up of 6 to 15 Years
(2009)
We report the clinical and radiological outcome of 99 Zweymuller metal on metal total hip arthroplasties in 84 patients followed up prospectively for a mean period of 9.5 (range, 6-15) years. There were 29 (34.5%) male and ...
Finite element simulation of the mechanical impact of computer work on the carpal tunnel syndrome
(2014)
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a clinical disorder resulting from the compression of the median nerve. The available evidence regarding the association between computer use and CTS is controversial. There is some evidence ...
Epidural bleeding after ACL reconstruction under regional anaesthesia: A case report
(2009)
Introduction: Epidural bleeding as a complication of catheterization or epidural catheter removal is often associated with perioperative thromboprophylaxis especially in adult reconstructive surgery. Case presentation: We ...
Transosseous application of low-intensity ultrasound at the tendon-bone interface affects the healing rate and up-regulates simultaneously the expression of collagen type i and tRNAGly
(2008)
The present study investigates the effect of transosseous low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LiUS) during lingamentization process on the healing at tendon graft-bone interface in rabbits. Analysis of the RT-PCR products ...
I CAN! A graduate self-completion questionnaire for evaluating medical curriculum outcomes: How to use it, and preliminary findings on Greek medical education outcomes
(2011)
Objective Although valid instruments are available for measuring the educational environment during the 6-year period of undergraduate medical study, there was no tool for measuring the end-product of the medical curriculum, ...
Compartmental infections of the hand
(2008)
Suppurative conditions of the hand-wrist compartments result in a "vicious circle" of infection and increase in compartmental pressure that reduces perfusion of soft tissues and facilitates spreading of the infection. We ...
An Association Study between Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1alpha (HIF-1 alpha) Polymorphisms and Osteonecrosis
(2013)
Bone hypoxia resulting from impaired blood flow is the final pathway for the development of osteonecrosis (ON). The aim of this study was to evaluate if HIF-1 alpha, the major transcription factor triggered by hypoxia, is ...
Differential expression of leptin and leptin's receptor isoform (Ob-Rb) mRNA between advanced and minimally affected osteoarthritic cartilage; effect on cartilage metabolism
(2007)
Objective: To investigate leptin's effect on cartilage metabolism and the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods: Messenger RNA (mRNA) expression and protein levels of leptin and leptin's receptor isoforms were ...
