Press reviews

sophie — 2008-11-26T14:21:42Z

New study suggests pain is a cause of arthritis

Findings of a new study suggest that pain is not merely a symptom of arthritis but rather a cause of the condition. The researchers, from the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry and the University of Torino, Italy, said new treatments may seek to interrupt “crosstalk” between joints and the spinal cord, according to a press release from the University of Rochester. More specifically, the study, which appears in the October issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism, suggested that pain signals originating in arthritic joints — and the biochemical processing of those signals as they reach the spinal cord — worsen and expand arthritis.

Hip resurfacing best suited for younger patients

Hip resurfacing is often seen as a modern option to the more conventional total hip replacement, but new data from a study at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago suggest that a patient's age and gender impact the success of the operation. In a review of more than 500 surgeries performed in the United States using a hip resurfacing device recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the researchers found that the majority of serious complications occurred in women of all ages and men older than 55 years.

Several press reviews about implants/ October

sophie — 2008-10-13T15:40:16Z

One in 75 U.K. patients requires a revision of their joint replacement after 3 years

British researchers collecting and reviewing nationwide data on hip and knee replacements reported that one in 75 patients requires a revision of their joint replacement after 3 years. Although this compares favorably with the rest of the world, the study reinforces concerns about the new surgical techniques of hip resurfacing and unicondylar knee replacement, according to a press release.

An Unusual Case of Elbow Dislocation

The frequency of elbow dislocation is second to that of shoulder dislocation in adults. Adult elbow dislocations are classified by the direction of displacement and associated fractures. They can be anterior, posterior, lateral, or divergent, with the most common type being posterior displacement of both the radius and ulna in relation to the distal humerus. Associated injuries to the shoulder, distal radius/ulna, and carpal bones occur in 10% to 15% of cases.

University of Virginia reports promising method for reducing MRSA infections in hospitals

Certification of health sites

HON@CODE : a logo for health-related web site certification

Currently, the search for medical or health-related data on the Internet concerns one web user out of five. It is true that physicians no longer have the monopoly over prescriptions and the abundance of medical data on the Internet occasionally leads patients to develop preconceived ideas of their diseases. It is in the context of the growing use of healthcare web sites that the French Healthcare High Authority (Haute Autorité de Santé – HAS) has been entrusted by the legislature with the mission of establishing a certification procedure for all entities issuing medical information.

The Swiss non-governmental organisation, Health on the Net (HON), that has already certified more than 5500 sites in 72 countries, has implemented this accreditation by conforming to the quality criteria applicable to healthcare-related web sites. Henceforth, the HON@CODE logo, displayed at the bottom of a home page, shall certify to web users that they are viewing a high-quality site ; it is effective since March 2008.

The certification is based on eight principles, amongst which, the indication of author qualifications, the obligation to cite published information sources, or the clear separation of advertising and editorial policies.
