Potential aetiological factors concerning the development of osteonecrosis of the femoral head
(2000)
Background The aetiology and pathogenesis of non-traumatic osteonecrosis (ON) of the femoral head have not been fully elucidated. The present study was conducted to evaluate the possible correlation of relevant haematological ...
Tuberculous pyomyositis: a re-emerging entity of many faces
(2014)
Tuberculosis (TB) has become a global concern due to its increasing incidence, particularly in immunocompromised patients, closely following the migratory patterns of populations. TB pyomyositis is a rare extrapulmonary ...
Predictive role of cytokine gene polymorphisms for the development of femoral head osteonecrosis
(2012)
Introduction: Osteonecrosis (ON) is a multifactorial disease that leads to hip destruction. Lately, much focus has been at femoral head preservation with nonsurgical methods. In this study we examined the polymorphisms of ...
Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) expression in the femoral heads of patients with avascular necrosis
(2013)
Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a disorder of the bone repair process which usually results in femoral head (FH) destruction. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are the key proteins regulating bone remodelling and healing. ...
Expression profile of osteoprotegerin, RANK and RANKL genes in the femoral head of patients with avascular necrosis
(2014)
Introduction: Femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN) is a recalcitrant disease of the hip that leads to joint destruction. Osteoprotegerin (OPG), Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa-B (RANK) and RANK ligand (RANKL) ...
Tourniquet Use Does Not Affect Rehabilitation, Return to Activities, and Muscle Damage After Arthroscopic Meniscectomy: A Prospective Randomized Clinical Study
(2012)
Purpose: The purpose of this prospective randomized trial was to examine the effect of tourniquet use on rehabilitation rate, return to work and sport activities, and muscle damage after arthroscopic meniscectomy. Methods: ...

Smoking affects mRNA expression of bone morphogenetic proteins in human periosteum
(2012)
Periosteum is important for bone homoeostasis through the release of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) and their effect on osteoprogenitor cells. Smoking has an adverse effect on fracture healing and bone regeneration. ...
MR imaging findings in transient osteoporosis of the hip
(2004)
Purpose: The authors sought to describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings including perfusion imaging, in association with the course of acute bone marrow oedema syndrome (aBMEs), in a group of patients with ...
