Surgical treatment for dislocated trochlear shear injuries is recommended due to its articular nature. However, the surgical exposure is often limited and large cartilaginous fragments with lack of subchondral bone stock makes a...
This study aimed to optimize the crystallization process and the microstructure of a new bioactive glass-ceramic (GC) previously developed by our research group to obtain machinable glass-ceramics.Differential scanning...
To explore the anatomy, etiopathogenesis, diagnosis and classification, current evidence on intervention and the surgical management of orbital roof fractures and defects (ORFD) for oculoplastic surgeons presented with such...
To describe the use of a lateral wall implant as an adjunct in lateral orbital wall decompression in severe thyroid eye disease.This study is a retrospective review of 6 patients who underwent prior orbital decompression but had...
To describe patients with periocular solitary extramedullary plasmacytoma (SEMP) and multiple myeloma (MM), together with an estimate of the risk of progression from SEMP to MM.A retrospective case-note review for patients seen...
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is abnormal growth of ectopic bone and negatively affects the outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to characterize the prevalence and...
To characterize surgical treatment and outcomes of C1 fractures in a population-based setup.Consecutive C1 fracture patients treated at Kuopio University Hospital (KUH) Neurosurgery were retrospectively identified from January...
While it is known that the degenerated intervertebral disc (IVD) is one of the primary reasons for low-back pain and subsequent need for medical care, there are currently no established effective methods for direct treatment....
The Low Energy Availability in Females Questionnaire (LEAF-Q) was validated to identify risk of the female athlete triad (triad) in female endurance athletes. This study explored the ability of the LEAF-Q to detect conditions...
Elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) levels are markers and potential mediators, of adverse outcomes in acute kidney injury (AKI). We recently identified glycerol-3-phosphate (G-3-P), a glycolysis byproduct, as a...
Despite the prevalence of low back pain (LBP) in society, the pathomechanism of LBP continues to elude researchers. LBP patients have demonstrated morphological and material property changes to their lumbar soft tissues,...
Ternary nanocomposites, including graphene oxide (GO), hydroxyapatite (HAP), and cadmium selenite (CdSe) have been encapsulated into nanofibrous scaffolds of polylactic acid. These compositions were indexed as HAP@PLA (C1),...
