PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOMES OF KINEMATIC VS MECHANICAL ALIGNMENT IN TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIALS

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is an effective treatment method for severe osteoarthritis of the knee.Poor alignment of a knee replacement has been associated with suboptimal clinical results.Traditionally, mechanical alignment (MA) has been considered the gold standard.In light of reports of decreased satisfaction with TKA, a new techni

A trend on unethical and unsustainable use of resources to meet the high demand in the trade of indigenous ornamental fishes is widespread.This increased exploitation calls for regulation.Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an apex body having a central role in regulating the trade of any living

A CDMA RoFSO link with receivers’ spatial diversity is studied.Turbulence-induced fading, modeled by the M(alaga) distribution, is considered that hamper the FSO link performance along with the nonzero boresight pointing errors effect.Novel, analytical closed-form expressions are extracted for the estimation of the average bit-error-rate and

Abstract Background Niemann-Pick type C (NP-C) is a rare neurovisceral genetic disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 or the NPC2 gene.NPC1 is a multipass-transmembrane protein essential for egress of cholesterol from late endosomes/lysosomes.To evaluate impacts of NPC1 mutations, we examined fibroblast cultures from 26 NP-C1 patients with clinic

Breast amyloidosis is an uncommon diagnosis and may present as localized or Zodiac Cyclonic Leaf Catcher Parts systemic disease, the latter having associations with hematolymphoid neoplasms and, more rarely, autoimmune disease.Clinical presentation is variable and, as findings may mimic carcinoma, often leads to biopsy.Homogenous, eosinophilic amyl
