BACKGROUND: Periprosthetic joint infection is the most common cause of readmissions after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Intrawound vancomycin powder (VP) has reduced infection rates in spine surgery; however, there are no data regarding VP in prima...
BACKGROUND: Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is a treatment option for single-compartment knee osteoarthritis. Robotic assistance may improve survival rates of UKA, but the cost-effectiveness of robot-assisted UKA is unknown. The purpose of t...
BACKGROUND: We report our experience dosing and monitoring enoxaparin with anti-factor Xa activity (anti-FXaA) levels for venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in trauma patients (TP).
In this study, we present a method for measuring functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal complexity using fuzzy approximate entropy (fApEn) and compare it with the established sample entropy (SampEn). Here we use resting state fMRI datase...

OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether using hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 as a pump prime and for intraoperative fluid therapy is associated with postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) after adult cardiac surgery.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the results of traditional laparoscopy and a simple, single-docking robotic approach for retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND), nephroureterectomy, and bladder cuff excision.
Currently, there exists a need for a more thorough understanding of native hip joint kinematics to improve the understanding of pathological conditions, injury mechanisms, and surgical interventions. A biomechanical testing system able to accomplish ...
BACKGROUND: Severe primary (degenerative) mitral regurgitation (MR) is repaired with durable results when simple single-scallop disease is addressed. The midterm quality outcomes of minimally invasive repair for complex disease are unknown, however.
