Development and validation of a functional outcome measure package for total knee arthroplasty
Functional improvement is an important outcome following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). According to recent research, three-dimensional motion analysis is the most scientific method of measuring dynamic knee function. Nevertheless, current protocols are too time consuming and complicated for …

Clinical investigation of the functional outcome of fixed bearing versus mobile bearing knees
… trial is the first of its kind where the functional performance of a low congruent fixed (CR DD), ultra-congruent fixed (UC), and ultra-congruent mobile (UCR) bearing Columbus Total Knee Systems were assessed. The pre- and postoperative function of twenty-four osteoarthritic patients was …

Functional outcome and experiences concerning daily life after malunion of the distal radius and corrective osteotomy
… possible, to subsequently reduce pain and regain functional ability. The fracture is re-created and the ratio between the fragment of the distal radius and the carpal bones and between the radius and the ulna is corrected. A common surgical approach is open-wedge osteotomy with volar plating. To …

Patterns of acute kidney injury and functional outcome scores in pediatric patients hospitalized with acute respiratory failure
… has been an increased focus on patient-centered outcomes and quality of life among survivors of AKI. One study of pediatric sepsis patients with AKI found that AKI was independently associated with worsened functional status (FS) among survivors. The present investigation focused on functional …

Predicting the Functional Effects of Human Short Variations Using Hidden Markov Models
… and deletions. Of great research interest is the functional effects of these variants. Although many programs have been developed to predict the effect of SNPs, few can be used to predict the effect of indels or multiple variants, such as multiple SNPs, multiple indels, or a combination of both. …

Visual feedback in orthopaedic rehabilitation
Currently, functional outcome following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery is often not restored, with the majority of TKA patients exhibiting lower functional outcome scores than healthy counterparts. There is some controversy regarding the nature of rehabilitation delivery following TKA …

Does one plus one make two? Investigation of pharmacological effects and cortical injury on the developing brain
… (HI) injury, both, or neither. The functional outcome was assessed using a series of behavioral tasks and anatomical measures. To assess how HI affects the development of motor maps, forelimb motor maps were evoked at P19. The findings indicate that fluoxetine treatment or HI injury …

Energy failure following traumatic brain injury: Potential mechanisms and impact of normobaric hyperoxia
… injury may improve tissue fate and improve the functional outcome for patients. Energy failure was spatially defined, characterised, and mapped using 15O and 18Fluoromisinidazole ([18F] FMISO) positron emission tomography. This enabled differentiation of classical ischaemia, diffusion hypoxia, …
