    Blood loss in one-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty: cruciate-retaining vs. posterior stabilized. A propensity score-matched analysis

    No full text
    Introduction: Although single-stage bilateral total knee arthroplasty (BTKA) presents several advantages, higher perioperative blood loss is a potentiate drawback that is still inevitable. Cruciate retaining (CR) TKA may theoretically result in less blood loss, offer better proprioception, and more physiologic kinematics compared to posterior stabilized (PS) TKA. The objective of this study was to compare perioperative blood loss and recovery among patients who underwent CR and PS BTKA. Methods: A cohort of 46 CR BTKA and 80 PS BTKA performed by a single surgeon were retrospectively evaluated. Identical surgical techniques and perioperative care were provided to all patients. Propensity score matching was utilized to compare blood loss, a visual analog scale (VAS) for postoperative pain level, morphine consumption, knee flexion arc, and length of stay (LOS). Results: Comparing CR BTKA and PS BTKA, drain output was 206.44 mL vs. 194.89 mL (p = 0.47), calculated blood loss was 886.23 mL vs. 724.89 mL (p = 0.05), and blood transfusion rate was 18% vs. 17% (p = 1.00). Additionally, CR BTKA had higher VAS than PS BTKA, at 6 h: 5.74 vs. 3.78 (p < 0.001), and at 12 h: 5.80 vs. 4.74 (p = 0.02). CR BTKA group had higher morphine consumption (26.87 mg vs. 19.74 mg; p = 0.01) in the first 48 h. CR BTKA showed significantly less knee flexion angle during 48–72 h postoperative. Conclusions: The use of the CR prosthesis in BTKA could not demonstrate a superiority over the PS design in terms of blood loss, and recovery of knee function during the acute postoperative period

    Lai teorētiski un praktiski izzinātu sajūtu attīstīšanas iespējas dabaszinību nodarbībās brīvā dabā darba autore Inta Ansonska izanalizējusi vairāku pētnieku uzskatus par 2-3 gadu vecu bērnu attīstības likumsakarībām un brīvdabas pedagoģijas pamatprincipiem sensoro spēju attīstīšanai, kā arī veikusi pedagoģisko izmēģinājumdarbību, izveidojot un novadot Jelgavas PII “Pasaciņa” jaunākā vecuma grupiņas bērniem pēc brīvdabas pedagoģijas principiem izstrādātu dabaszinību nodarbību ciklu “Rudens”. Darba autore secina, ka, gan pēc pieejamā teorētiskā materiāla, gan veicot praktiskās pedagoģiski eksperimentālās darbības, brīvdabas pedagoģijas principi ir ļoti iedarbīga sajūtu attīstīšanas veicināšanas metode, jo brīvdabas nodarbības atrodoties brīvā dabā kā apmācības veids sniedz iespēju bērniem izmantot visas savas maņas, līdz ar to viņiem rodas personīga un nepastarpināta pieredze, satiekot reālo pasauli. Dabā esošo sensoro kairinātāju daudzums ir ļoti liels un to pielietojums jebkuras dabaszinību tēmas apguvē ir ļoti plašs un atkarīgs no skolotāja radošuma un profesionālajām iemaņām brīvdabas pedagoģijas principu izmantošanā. Darbs sastāv no 50 lapaspusēm, 17 tabulām, 3 attēliem un 2 pielikumiem.To explore theoretically and practically sensory development options for 2-3 years old children on Natural science classes author of this qualification work Inta Ansonska analyzed the views of several researchers about 2-3 years old children's development regularities and the basic principles of nature pedagogy, as well as did pedagogical pilot work, creating and leading for kindergarden`s "Pasacina " younger age group of children a a cycle of natural sciences classes called "Autumn", which has been developed based on natural pedagogy principles. The author of this work concludes that, based on the available theoretical material and through practical pedagogical experimental activities, the principles of natural pedagogy are very effective method of promoting the development of senses, since outdoor Natural science activities as a type of training allow children to use all their senses, hence they have a personal and immediate experience of meeting the real world. The number of sensory irritants in nature is very high and their application in practically any natural science subject is very broad and depends on the teacher's creativity and professional skills in using the principles of natural pedagogy. The work consists of 50 pages, 17 tables, 3 pictures and 2 attachments

    This research explores ethnographically the everyday social interactions between the ‘users’ of a particular marketplace, the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM). The ‘users’ of this marketplace are the social actors who work there everyday, and who bring and buy fresh produce. These ´users´ are the ´makers´ of the BACWM since, through their everyday practices, interactions and interpretations and knowledge, they socially construct this hub of distribution
