Prospective observational study in elderly patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: Rationale and design of the All Nippon AF In the Elderly (ANAFIE) RegistryJournal of CardiologyVol. 72Issue 4PreviewThe world's population continues to rapidly grow older, mostly because of declining fertility and increasing longevity. The prediction is that, in 2035, nearly one in four individuals will be aged 65 years or older [1]. Aging is a natural and multifactorial phenomenon characterized by accumulation of degenerative processes that ultimately compromise cell and tissue functions [2,3]. Consequently, elderly people have higher risks of developing chronic diseases than younger people, and their health conditions are characterized by multimorbidity [4–6]. Full-Text PDF Open Archive

IntroductionMalrotation of a femoral component is a cause of patellofemoral maltracking after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We have developed a balanced gap technique in posterior stabilized total...
IntroductionThe systematic effects of joint replacement in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are that inflamed synovium and pathological articular cartilage has dissipated. Expectations of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are reduction of inflammatory cytokines, decreased disease activity and improvement of drug efficacy and ADL. Remission of rheumatoid arthritis is defined as having a Disease Activity Score DAS28 (ESR) of less than 2.6 and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) – Disability Index, less than 0.5.PurposeWe investigated whether TKA could reduce disease activity and improve ADL, and subsequent remission levels of DAS and HAQ or not.Material and MethodsWe analyzed the Knee Society Score (KSS), KOOS score and DAS28 in 15 patients, 23 rheumatoid arthritic knees at pre-operation and 1 year after operation. Preoperatively patients had used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, prednisolone, disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs including methotrexate. TKA (Zimmer NexGen LPS Flex Knee implants and ...
