Retrospective study: The diagnostic accuracy of conventional forceps biopsy of gastric epithelial compared to endoscopic submucosal dissection (STROBE compliant).
TL;DR: According to the analysis, old men plus gastric fundus or antrum of CFB were strongly suggested to perform ESD if precancerous lesions were found and young women with low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia could select regular follow-up.

Metallic implant biomaterials
Qizhi Chen,George Anthony Thouas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the most critical challenges for metallic implant biomaterials are summarized, with emphasis on the most promising approaches and strategies, and the properties that affect biocompatibility and mechanical integrity are discussed in detail.

How long does a knee replacement last? A systematic review and meta-analysis of case series and national registry reports with more than 15 years of follow-up.
Jonathan Evans,Jonathan P Evans,Robert W Walker,Ashley W Blom,Ashley W Blom,Michael R Whitehouse,Michael R Whitehouse,Adrian Sayers +7 more
TL;DR: Patients and surgeons can expect a hip replacement to last 25 years in around 58% of patients, assuming that estimates from national registries are less likely to be biased.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure rates of stemmed metal-on-metal hip replacements: analysis of data from the National Joint Registry of England and Wales
TL;DR: Metal-on-metal stemmed articulations give poor implant survival compared with other options and should not be implanted, and all patients with these bearings should be carefully monitored, particularly young women implanted with large diameter heads.
Journal ArticleDOI
Periprosthetic Joint Infection Increases the Risk of One-Year Mortality
TL;DR: Surgeons must be cognizant of the systemic impact of periprosthetic joint infection and its major influence on fatal outcome in patients, and independent predictors of mortality included increasing age, higher Charlson Comorbidity Index, history of stroke, polymicrobial infections, and cardiac disease.

Nonparametric Estimation from Incomplete Observations
Edward L. Kaplan,Paul Meier +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the product-limit (PL) estimator was proposed to estimate the proportion of items in the population whose lifetimes would exceed t (in the absence of such losses), without making any assumption about the form of the function P(t).
Journal Article
Validation study of WOMAC: a health status instrument for measuring clinically important patient relevant outcomes to antirheumatic drug therapy in patients with osteoarthritis of the hip or knee.
TL;DR: WOMAC is a disease-specific purpose built high performance instrument for evaluative research in osteoarthritis clinical trials and fulfil conventional criteria for face, content and construct validity, reliability, responsiveness and relative efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic arthritis of the hip after dislocation and acetabular fractures: treatment by mold arthroplasty. An end-result study using a new method of result evaluation
TL;DR: In this article, an end-result analysis is presented of thirty-nine mold arthroplasties performed at the Massachusetts General Hospital between 1945 and 1965 in thirty-eight consecutive private patients for arthritis of the hip following fractures of the acetabulum or dislocations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Questionnaire on the perceptions of patients about total hip replacement
TL;DR: In this article, a 12-item questionnaire for patients having a total knee replacement (TKR) was developed and a prospective study of 117 patients before operation and at follow-up six months later, asking them to complete the new questionnaire and the form SF36.

Porous-coated hip replacement. The factors governing bone ingrowth, stress shielding, and clinical results
TL;DR: Fixation by the ingrowth of bone or of fibrous tissue both appeared to be stable, but bone ingrowth gave better clinical results, and the results after five years showed no deterioration with time.
