Feb 3rd, 2023 - Relevance: Robotic orthopedic surgery has been around for over twenty years and is becoming more relevant every day. Modern systems consist of a robotic arm, robotic cutting tools and robotic milling systems with a variety of navigation systems with using active, semi-automatic or passive control systems. In the analysis of clinical studies, it can be concluded that these robotic systems reduce...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to investigate the postoperative recovery following hip and knee arthroplasty procedures depending on the use of either spinal anaesthesia (SA) or general anaesthesia (GA). The main questions are: Are more patients able to be safely mobilized within 6 hours postoperatively when using GA compared to SA? Does postoperative pain, nausea and vomiting, d...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - Osteoarthritis (OA) pain is one of the most prevalent causes of chronic pain worldwide. Symptoms can last from months to a lifetime, severely impacting patients' quality of life. New strategies - including non-invasive brain stimulation techniques - have shown promise for sustained pain relief, yet evidence on their reliability and efficacy is limited. Apkarian et. al have previously shown that...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - After being informed about the study and potential risks and all participants giving written informed consent, this project will establish a cohort of young men and women who within six weeks have sustained an acute rupture of the ACL. The cohort is randomized into a control and treatment group, where the treatment group receives a zoledronic acid injection at baseline. The cohort will be follo...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - ReDI@Home is a randomized feasibility trial that will evaluate implementation of home-based interventions to assist persons with moderate to advanced hip or knee osteoarthritis (OA) living in rural environments with self-management. Although others have used similar web-based interventions for urban patients living with inflammatory arthritis, our selected group of rural residents living with O...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The position sense and kinesthesia are defined as proprioception. In other words, proprioception allows being aware of positions of the body parts in the space. Muscles, tendons, joint capsules are source of proprioception. Possible damage to these structures due to inflammation may cause diminished proprioception sense. Decreased proprioception was shown for cervical region in axial spondyloar...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of bimekizumab administered subcutaneously (sc) compared to placebo in the treatment of subjects with active nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA).

Feb 3rd, 2023 - The study is a two-armed non-inferiority randomized controlled trial (RCT) situated in the primary care setting in Norway. Participants diagnosed with hip and/or knee OA will be randomized to either exercise therapy via app or usual care. Patients aged 18 years and older presenting with activity-related hip and/or knee pain/complaints and clinical signs and symptoms corresponding to hip and/or ...

Feb 3rd, 2023 - PMCF study to observe the routine application of Ostenil® in the treatment of pain and restricted mobility in degenerative and traumatic changes of the knee joint.

Feb 3rd, 2023 - I. Objective 18-kDa translocator protein (TSPO) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are both implicated in the pathophysiology of various inflammatory disorders, suggesting that both may serve as potential biomarkers of inflammation in brain as well as periphery. Our laboratory recently developed two new radioligands: [11C]ER176 to image TSPO and [11C]MC1 to image COX-2. Using wholebody imaging, this ...
