The etiology of juvenile idiopathic arthritis is largely unknown; however, immunologic studies show possible involvement of CD141+, CD123+, and dendritic cells. The natural disease course consists of inflammatory soft tissue damage coupled with joint effusion that eventually progresses to bone and joint changes. In terms of diagnosis, musculoskeletal ultrasonography has been shown to be effective in the early detection of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, espe-cially in small joints. Magnetic resonance imaging and radiography are also valid techniques for diagnosis, but they generally fail to detect preclinical juvenile idiopathic arthritis, whereas ultrasound is successful in doing so. Orthopedic treatment options include conservative measures such as non-steroidal inflammatory drugs and corticosteroid injections. Surgical intervention is often indicated to treat deformity, limb length, and severe arthritis. Total joint replacement is primarily performed for functional impairment and deformity rather than for pain. Factors that may complicate surgical intervention include small bone size, limb deformity, and soft tissue contracture.","PeriodicalId":104157,"journal":{"name":"Orthoplastic Surgery & Orthopedic Care International Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126894466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A device for robotically assisted arthroplasty that has emerging as the best device for unicompartimental knee arthroplasty. It works on compute tomography acquisitions and predicts the correct position for prosthesis, the ligament stress and the final extension and flection of the treated leg. In this study, we describe the results obtained on 876 patients subjected to different procedures in which the robotic device for knee arthroplasty has been employed to perform 919 knee implants. Statistic evaluation of different parameters, measured before and immediately after prosthesis placement, demonstrate the accuracy of robotic device for knee arthroplasty, in facilitate and assist surgeon procedures in order to obtain the best results for patients. By robotically assisted arthroplasty a negative outcome can be prevented because the positioning of the prosthesis is more correct and programed already before surgery, aligning rightly tibia and femur, balancing correctly the ligament and optimizing bone preparation.","PeriodicalId":104157,"journal":{"name":"Orthoplastic Surgery & Orthopedic Care International Journal","volume":"223 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114469816","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to find the effect of Consciousness Energy Healing based vitamin D3 and DMEM medium on in vitro bone health parameters using MG-63 cells such as alkaline phosphates enzyme (ALP) activity, collagen levels, and bone mineralization. The test items (TI) i.e. vitamin D3 and DMEM medium were divided into two parts. The test samples received Consciousness Energy Healing Treatment by Lauree Ann Duprey-Reed and samples were defined as the Biofield Energy Treated (BT) samples, while the other parts of each sample were denoted as the untreated test items (UT). Cell viability using MTT assay showed that cell viability range 76% to 139% with safe and nontoxic profile of test samples on MG-63 cell line. ALP was significantly increased by 171.8% and 189.7% at 10µg/mL in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI and BT-DMEM+BT-TI groups, respectively as compared with the untreated group.In addition, 100% and 33.3% increased ALP at 0.1 and 10µg/mL, respectively in BT-DMEM+UT-TI group as compared with the untreated group. The level of collagen was significantly increased at 10µg/mL by 145.8% in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI group, while 65.8% and 145.8% at 1 and 10µg/mL, respectively in BT-DMEM+UT-TI group as compared with the untreated group. In addition, BT-DMEM+BT-TI group showed a significant increased collagen level by 86.3% and 136.1% at 1 and 10µg/mL, respectively as compared with the untreated test item and DMEM group.The percent of bone mineralization was significantly increased by 150%, 21%, and 73.2% at 0.1, 10, and 100µg/mL, respectively in the UT-DMEM+BT-TI group, while 258.3% and 126.8% at 0.1 and 100µg/mL, respectively in the BT-DMEM+UT-TI group as compared with the untreated group. In addition, BT-DMEM+BT-TI group showed a significant increased bone mineralization by 33.3%, 32.7%, and 187.4% at 0.1, 10, and 100µg/mL, respectively as compared with the untreated group. Biofield Energy Treatment might be vital in promotion and maintenance of strong and healthy bones and quality of life by assisting them in maintaining optimal vitamin D levels. It regulates the osteoblast function, improves bone mineralization, and calcium absorption in wide range of bone disorders along with wide range of adverse health conditions, comprising cancer, and many autoimmune disorders.","PeriodicalId":104157,"journal":{"name":"Orthoplastic Surgery & Orthopedic Care International Journal","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114688917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the addition of vitD and Zoledronic acid (ZA) to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) [1,2] gives complete histological responses. We report a prospective evaluation comparing complete pathological response between different biomolecular sub-groups. Patients and methods: The study included 431 women with stages III locally advanced breast cancer who received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and Zoledronic acid. All patients were prescribed vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) 400 IU and calcium carbonate 1,000mg daily. The main objective is the complete histologic response. Secondary endpoints were the overall survival of patients targeted by the study. Results: Histologic complete response with Zoledronic acid and vit D was 40.13%. The higher in the subgroup Her2 / luminal (RH±Her2+) and under Her2+(HR-Her2 +) and the lowest rate was observed in the triple negative group as classified by Sataloff, overall survival was 45.77 months for subgroups (Her2/luminal and in Her2+group) vs 44.11 months for triple negative group.
