Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleProsthetic Knee Mechanism Using a Double Locking System as a Safety MeasureEicarl Saynes Vazquez, Esther Lugo GonzálezThe design of a four-link knee prosthesis mechanism with two locking systems activated during the flexion/extension phase is presented. The first is geometric, totally mechanical and activated by the user's weight. The second is variable and is activated automatically when walking on irregular or special surfaces is required. The links' dimensions were selected using the differential evolutionary optimization algorithm to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 8, Issue 1 · 12 Feb 2024 · 5,701 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Therapeutic Effects of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Knee Osteoarthritis: Possible Role of Inflammatory CytokinesMohammed H. Hassan, Sawsan Abuhamdah et al.Osteoarthritis (OA) is a multifactorial disease that commonly affects the knee. Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) regulates inflammation during OA. Macrophage Migration Inhibitory Factor (MIF) may be involved in the pathophysiology of arthritis. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) may reduce pain associated with OA. The present study assessed the possible therapeutic effects of PRP in patients with OA of the knee with varying … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 2 · 15 Jun 2021 · 6,987 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSmart Orthopaedic Implants: Applications in Total Knee ArthroplastyMatthew K. Dion, John Drazan, Khaled Abdoun et al.Total knee arthroplasty is a common orthopaedic procedure conducted in the United States with approximately 700,000 surgeries performed annually. A common complication following total knee arthroplasty is anterior knee pain which affects tens to hundreds of thousands of people each year. The exact mechanism that leads to anterior knee pain remains unknown, but improper component selection may cause pathologic loading … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 23 Dec 2016 · 9,069 accessesView PDFCite
InvestigationOpen accessEvery word in the titleInvestigating the Parameters Influencing the Behavior of Knee Braced Steel StructuresEdris Farokhi, Mehrdad GordiniIn Knee-Braced Frames (KBF), the brace is connected to the knee element rather than the beam-column joint. For reasons such as having sufficient lateral stiffness despite its adequate ductile behavior, the concentration of damage in the Double Knee-Braced structural elements and also ease of repair and replacement of these elements after an earthquake, this bracing system is preferred over conventional … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 21 Sep 2015 · 7,808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleSimilitude Distortion Compensation for a Small Scale Model of a Knee Braced Steel FrameNouredine Bourahla, Anthony BlakeboroughThe purpose of producing scaled physical models is to allow the assessment in the laboratory of the probable response of a structure to a prescribed loading. It is obviously of paramount importance to construct these models to reflect reality as accurately as possible. The problem encountered particularly for dynamic testing is that the similitude requirements are sometimes impractical. This paper … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 7 Aug 2015 · 7,176 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssociation of Polymorphism in Growth and Differentiation Factor 5 Gene with Osteoarthritis KneeAbhishek Mishra, Divya Sanghi, Amar Chandra Sharma et al.The present study investigated to identify the association of polymorphism in GDF-5 gene with osteoarthritis in North Indian population. In a case-control study, 300 cases with knee osteoarthritis and an equal number of age and gender matched healthy controls were included. Cases were diagnosed using the ACR Guidelines of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA). Clinical symptoms were assessed with the knee specific … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 9, Issue 1 · 18 Mar 2013 · 9,417 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAssessment of Risk of Falls in Elderly Patients with Osteoarthritis of the Knee and Low Back PainVictor Hugo do Vale Bastos, Marco Antonio Araujo Leite, Marco Orsini et al.This study aimed identify which groups of elderly are at higher risk of falls, with osteoarthritis (OA), low back pain or both conditions. 29 elderly were distributed in three groups: OA of the Knee (OAK), Low Back Pain (LBP) and the two events concomitantly (OL). Evaluation tools applied were: Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Western Ontario … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Aug 2012 · 7,271 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleRivaroxaban and its Effect on International Normalised Ratio-A Prospective Study of 28 Hip and Knee Arthroplasty PatientsV. Eranki, A. Pillai, G. Morrison, Cheng Hong YeoProblem statement: Rivaroxaban is an orally active, competitively reversible antagonist of activated factor Xa. The purpose of this study is to comment on Riveroxaban’s effect on INR. Approach: At the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, all patients undergoing elective anthroplasty were anticoagulated with 10mg of Rivaroxaban. All patients had INR measurements for 3 days post operatively. Further 16 patients had weekly INR … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 12 Jul 2012 · 21,044 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsComparison of Improved Semi-Automated Segmentation Technique with Manual Segmentation: Data from the Osteoarthritis InitiativeHong Seng Gan, Khairil Amir SayutiManual segmentation is the standard procedure in osteoarthritis study. However, this method is infamous for being excessive, time consuming and exhaustive. In this study, we overcame the problem of excessive expert interaction reported in manual segmentation by developing a semi-automated random walks technique with computer-aided labelling system. To minimize expert interaction, non-cartilage seeds were generated by using computer. Then, random … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 11 · 24 Oct 2016 · 7,363 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the keywordsReview of Periprosthetic Infection of Brucellosis with Presentation of a Case ReportYuri Klassov, Talya Marina Klassov, Odelya Peretz, Vadim BenkovichNowadays there is an increase in number of arthroplasties performed worldwide. There are evidences that this trend will continue to rise on a yearly basis. Presence of a foreign body implant increases the risk for infection regardless the most meticulous infection control. Brucellosis is the most frequently encountered worldwide zoonotic disease. It is most often acquired from unpasteurized milk and … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 12, Issue 3 · 15 Aug 2016 · 7,592 accessesView PDFCite
