Knee Joint01:23

Knee Joint

3.1K
The knee joint is the most complicated joint in the body. It consists of three articulations– two tibiofemoral and one patellofemoral. As is characteristic of synovial joints, the knee joint has a thin articular capsule that partially surrounds this joint cavity. Additionally, several ligaments, muscles, and cartilaginous structures support the movement of the knee.
A total of seven ligaments support the knee joint. The patellar ligament, which is also attached to the quadriceps femoris...

Total Voids in Concrete01:12

Total Voids in Concrete

460
Total voids in concrete encompass gel water volume, capillary pores, and entrapped air. Gel water (retained within the cement hydration products) and physically entrapped or adsorbed water are significant for the hydration process. For complete hydration, it's estimated that the space needed for the products of a cubic centimeter of cement doubles. Capillary pores constitute the unoccupied space within the hydrated cement paste, with their size largely influenced by the water-to-cement...

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy01:05

Total Internal Reflection Fluorescence Microscopy

11.0K
Total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy or TIRF is an advanced microscopic technique used to visualize fluorophores in samples close to a solid surface with a higher refractive index, such as a glass coverslip. TIRF only allows fluorophores in proximity to the solid surface to be excited. When light from a medium with a lower refractive index (such as air) hits the glass coverslip at a critical angle, the light undergoes total internal reflection stead of passing through the glass.

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview01:13

Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR) Infrared Spectroscopy: Overview

1.2K
Attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared spectroscopy is a powerful analytical technique used to study the composition of materials. It is widely employed in chemistry, materials science, forensic science, and other fields where sample characterization is required. ATR has several advantages over traditional transmission IR spectroscopy, including the requirement of little to no sample preparation and the ability to analyze a wide range of samples.
The ATR process begins by directing a beam...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a significant risk following total knee replacement (TKR).
  • Effective prophylaxis is crucial to minimize post-operative complications and improve patient outcomes.
  • Current guidelines emphasize a multimodal approach to DVT prevention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated overview of DVT prevention strategies after TKR.
  • To compare the efficacy and safety of available mechanical and pharmacological methods.
  • To inform clinical decision-making regarding optimal DVT prophylaxis.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current mechanical prophylaxis techniques (e.g., compression devices).
  • Analysis of pharmacological agents used for DVT prevention (e.g., anticoagulants).
  • Comparative assessment of risks and benefits associated with each method.

Main Results:

  • Mechanical methods offer a non-pharmacological option for DVT prevention.
  • Pharmacological agents, including specific anticoagulants, are detailed with their standard dosages.
  • The update highlights the comparative risks and benefits, guiding clinicians in selecting appropriate therapies.

Conclusions:

  • A combination of mechanical and pharmacological prophylaxis may be optimal for many patients.
  • Individual patient factors should guide the choice of DVT prevention strategy.
  • Ongoing research aims to refine DVT prevention protocols for TKR patients.
