Abstract:

Obesity is widely acknowledged as a risk factor for both the incidence and progression of osteoarthritis. Loss of at least 10% of body weight is recognized as a cornerstone in the management of obese patients with osteoarthritis, and can lead to significant improvement in symptoms, pain relief, physical function, and health-related quality of life. However, questions still remain surrounding optimal management and whether structural disease progression can be arrested. Given the significant health, social, and economic burden of osteoarthritis, especially in obese patients, it is imperative to

Abstract:

Cognitive and behavioural changes are relatively common in patients with ALS, but often receive less emphasis than the loss of physical strength and function. There is extensive literature on the impact of cognitive and behavioural changes on Quality of Life (QoL) in caregivers and the patients themselves in a variety of other neurological conditions, the implications of which are directly applicable in many respects to ALS. Based on this information, a number of intervention strategies may be employed, including psycho-educational and psychotherapeutic interventions, group-based support servi

Abstract:

Traumatic spinal cord injuries (SCI) often have a devastating impact on quality of life for patients and their families. Neuroprotection for spinal cord injury is aimed at improving functional outcomes by limiting secondary injury processes that occur within the first minutes, hours, and days following the primary injury. The primary mechanical trauma initiates a secondary injury cascade where ischemia, inflammatory cell infiltration, and cytotoxic changes in the microenvironment cause further cell death and loss of function. Time-sensitive neuroprotective measures targeting these secondary in

Abstract:

The terminal phase is the period of time between living with a reasonable quality of life, and the process of dying. While lung cancer and pulmonary fibrosis have the potential to deteriorate rapidly, the majority of lung diseases worsen over years. Every exacerbation of the condition leads to a decline in both lung function and performance status, and often the pre-exacerbation level of functioning is never regained. There is not a defining point to indicate whether a patient is entering the terminal stages of their illness, but practice shows that the following signs are suggestive: increasi

Abstract:

Neural prosthetics (neuroprostheses, neural prostheses) are devices or systems that influence the input and output of information in the brain. They modulate, bypass, supplement, or replace regions of the brain and its connections to the body that are damaged, dysfunctional, or lost from brain injury, congenital conditions, limb loss, or neurodegenerative disease. Neural prosthetics can generate, improve, or restore sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. Some prosthetics are implanted in the brain. Others are connected to it in brain–computer interfacing.

Abstract:

Cystic fibrosis lung disease is characterized by chronic infection, inflammation and a progressive loss of lung function. Patients are also affected by recurrent episodes of increased respiratory symptoms, called exacerbations which have a detrimental effect on quality of life, the rate of lung function decline, and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment is vital. Diagnosis relies on a combination of symptoms, examination findings, the results of laboratory tests, and lung function. Antibiotics are the mainstay of treatment but airway clearance, nutrition, and glucose homeostasis must also b

Abstract:

It is important for rheumatologists to have an understanding of biochemical tests including an awareness of their limitations. The biological variability of an analyte both within and between individuals, the limitations of the measurement technology, the sensitivity of laboratory internal quality control and external quality assurance procedures, as well as interlaboratory variations in practices including sample collection procedures, may all impact on the interpretation of a result. Biochemical tests are often requested to monitor organ-specific dysfunction arising as an adverse consequence

Abstract:

Male genital trauma, a relatively rare condition in the Western world, usually affects young men and encompasses a wide spectrum of injuries, which in the most severe cases may lead to a complete long-term loss of sexual and urinary function. When managing genital trauma, it is paramount to identify possible associated bony, vascular, bowel, and urinary tract injuries, which are present in up to 83% of cases, and should require immediate treatment, as they may be potentially life-threatening. The management of the genital trauma should be deferred to a later stage, when associated injuries hav

Abstract:

Organ transplantation is now a well-established therapy for patients with end-stage organ failure. Over the last 20 years, the results of transplantation have improved incrementally for many reasons, including better recipient selection, improved anaesthetic and surgical techniques, the introduction of more effective antiviral agents, and better post-transplant immunosuppressive management. The problem of early graft loss from acute rejection is now uncommon, and the main challenges today are chronic allograft rejection and the side effects of non-specific suppression of the immune response.

Abstract:

Patients with critical illness are at risk of profound weakness and skeletal muscle loss, and recovery is marked by prolonged physical functional impairment in many survivors. Muscle and nerve abnormalities found in critically ill patients include loss of muscle mass, muscle membrane inexcitability, polyneuropathy, mitochondrial dysfunction with bioenergetic failure, as well as changes in skeletal muscle structure. The most common histological abnormalities are atrophy of both type I and II fibres and thick filament loss; muscle necrosis is less common. While recent studies have illuminated th

They are an existential threat to an aging society in its ability to provide a meaningful and high quality of life to all its citizens.

Patients with gynaecological cancer encounter, everyday, various problems in their family lives, jobs, and finances, in addition to the direct effects of the cancer itself. They also face problems concerning a loss of femininity, such as those related to the menopause, their reproductive function, and sexual activity that is brought about by the effects of the disease and its management. Hence, problems are not only limited to the biological aspect of cancer, but also to its impact on psychosocial aspects, thereby increasing the level of stress in these patients.

Carnivorous plant genome research has focused on members of the Lamiales and Oxalidales; the most complete sequences are for Utricularia gibba and Cephalotus follicularis. The size-limited U. gibba genome highlights the importance of small-scale tandem duplications, which likely play roles in this species’ carnivorous adaptation. Sequencing of the C. follicularis genome detected adaptive changes that may explain the evolution of traits associated with attraction, trapping, digestion, and absorption.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common condition which often causes pain and functional limitation, significantly impacting on a person's quality of life. A comprehensive assessment of the impact of OA should be performed before selecting therapies and treatment goals.

Abstract:

Democratic Speech in Divided Times offers a comprehensive account of the norms that should govern public discourse in circumstances marked by deep and often unjust social divisions. Part I investigates what forms of democratic speech are desirable in these settings. This part shows, firstly, that some forms of public discourse that are symptomatic of division can nevertheless play a crucial democratic function. In particular, it argues that emotionally charged speech—and most notably, speech voicing deep anger—plays a fundamental role in overcoming entrenched epistemic divisions and in facilit

At the same time, the conditions for coal mining are deteriorating, the resources more readily available in active mines are being exhausted, m
