Water-soluble biopolymers calcium polymalate derived from fermentation broth of Aureobasidium pullulans markedly alleviates osteoporosis and fatigue
In this study, we isolated a natural soluble biopolymer, calcium polymalate (PMACa), from the fermentation broth of the fungus Aureobasidium pullulans, to investigate its potential as an anti-osteoporosis therapeutic agent. Characterization revealed that linear PMA-Ca chains juxtaposed to form a porous, rod-like state, in the presence of Ca2+. In vivo mouse models demonstrated that PMA-Ca significantly promoted the conversion of serum calcium into bone calcium, and stimulated bone growth and osteogenesis. Additionally, PMA-Ca alleviated exercise fatigue in mice by facilitating the removal of essential metabolites, such as ...

Spinopelvic interactions in total hip arthroplasty: 295 patients followed for a minimum follow-up of 10  years
CONCLUSIONS: Concurrent spinal pathology influences THA outcomes at a minimum follow-up of 10 years. Sex, age, and associated lumbar degeneration can affect clinical and radiological changes over time. A decrease in SFP angle values over time was found in patients sustaining late dislocation.PMID:38695378 | DOI:10.1177/11207000241248074 (Source: Hip International)

Use of an Artificial Intelligence Device for Evaluating Blood Loss in Complex Major Orthopaedic Surgery Procedures
An artificial intelligence algorithm that analyzes the pulse oximeter waveform in the fingertip can be used to determine the compensatory reserve index (CRI) in trauma patients. This measurement shows the remaining cardiovascular capacity and is known to be more specific and sensitive in detecting blood loss than are routine vital signs. We hypothesized that the CRI measurement could predict loss of reserve cardiovascular capacity in patients undergoing major orthopaedic surgery, and therefore could help in their management.
