Outcomes of Fractured Neck of Femur Managed with Arthroplasty at Flinders Medical Centre: A Breakdown of Demographics using Early Results of a Local Revision Registry: OAJBS Publishers

Outcomes of Fractured Neck of Femur Managed with Arthroplasty at Flinders Medical Centre: A Breakdown of Demographics using Early Results of a Local Revision Registry by Christopher John Wilson* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)

Trauma comprises a significant proportion of hip surgery at our local hospital, Flinders Medical Centre (FMC). With regards to neck of femur fractures (#NOF), many cases are managed with an internal fixation approach rather than arthroplasty. National data suggest that hip arthroplasties (THAs) are increasingly being used in preference for hemiarthroplasties (HAs) for intracapsular #NOF to improve patients function post-op. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to continue building a robust prospective local Revision Registry in order to continue evaluate trends in local data regarding the aetiology and rates of revision hip arthroplasties at Flinders Medical Centre, where the primary arthroplasty was undertaken secondary to trauma. Data was compiled from our own documented records cross-matched with national records. Patients were included if their primary surgery was a HA or THA in the setting of #NOF, who had revision surgeries that were performed within FMC during the time period of 2016-2019. Data were evaluated descriptively with basic quantitative analyses. 455 post-traumatic arthroplasty surgeries were performed within the time frame, 78.9% of which has at our centre. Of 359 HAs performed, five were revised; of 96 THAs performed, two were revised. Revision of THAs occurred earlier, with an average of 2.17 years compared to 2.62 years. Revision of THAs occurred in younger patients, with average age at revision of THAs of 62 compared to 85.5 years. Revision of hemiarthroplasties was mostly performed due to instability of prosthetic components and patient factors, whilst revisions of THAs may have been related to surgical error. Revision of THAs seems less frequent and more related to surgical error and affects younger patients. The development of a specialised Arthroplasty service for THA in trauma may lead to an increased use of THA which is common in other centres and reduce surgical errors. Long term follow-up in the form of a local registry is ongoing and early data shows it to be a beneficial resource to guide local future management principles.

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment: OAJBS Publishers

Review on Analysis of Breast Tumor with Methods of Treatment by Nagham Mahmood Aljamali* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Breast malignance is the greatest public in ladies, with a high incidence in North America and Eastern Europe, medium in Southern Europe and the Middle East and low in the Far East. Breast malignance is the second most common malignance in the world after lung malignance, and since it happens a lot, the doctors asked the women to examine themselves by themselves, in order to discover the signs of the disease early before it spreads. It is possible that this disease can be treated after being diagnosed by a specialized doctor and determining the type of tumor in the breast, and the surgeon removes the breast completely and starts chemotherapy about 6 doses, then radiotherapy, how many sessions will be determined by the doctor, and then hormonal therapy, a medicine called Tamoxafin or any medicine determined by the doctor, and it is possible.

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin: OAJBS Publishers

Facile Synthesis of Chitosan Nanoparticle with Different Features and Histopathological Ultrastructural Study on The Effect of Its Bio-complex with Bovine Serum Albumin in Mice Liver by Maged El-Kemary* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS)   We have synthesized chitosan nanoparticles (CS-NPs) with different characteristics using ionic gelation method. Results showed that the synthesized CS-NPs with different concentrations of trisodium polyphosphate (TPP) are irregular – spherical shaped with narrow size distribution and high stability. The microporous chitosan was also synthesized with new features characterized with different techniques as SEM, EDX, FTIR and BET. The synthesized microporous chitosan has a surface area and pore volume of 245.571m 2 /g and 0.155cm 3 /g respectively. Its microporous surface is functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups. Histopathological and ultrastructural studies of mice liver were performed using optical and scanning electron micro

Assessment of Medication Errors in Emergency Ward at Nekemte Referral Hospital, West Ethiopia: OAJBS Publishers

Assessment of Medication Errors in Emergency Ward at Nekemte Referral Hospital, West Ethiopia by Balisa Mosisa* in Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science (OAJBS) Medication error is defined as failure in the treatment process that leads to or has the potential to lead to harm to the patient. It may occur at each five stages of drug ordering and delivery including prescription, transcription, dispensing, and administration or monitoring. Prevalence of medication error in healthcare settings have been found that they were common in hospitals. A significant proportion of medication errors are associated with actual or potentially harmful effects. https://biomedscis.com/fulltext/assessment-of-medication-errors-in-emergency-ward-at-nekemte-referral-hospital-west-ethiopia.ID.000398.php To Know More About Open Access Journal of Biomedical Science Please Visit: Biomedscis Are Click on:   https://Biomedscis.Com/
