“…Gender did not have a significant influence on the V-RQOL Questionnaire, which confirms the data in the literature [5,6,16,30] . In contrast to other diseases [31,32] , the subjective burden elicited by dysphonia is not perceived differently by women and men. This is important with regard to methodological aspects, as the V-RQOL Questionnaire [20][21][22] does not have to be evaluated in a gender-specific way [33] .…”

Objective: This study focuses on the relation between objective voice quality and the self-perception of a voice handicap. Patients and Methods: The study group consisted of 86 German-speaking patients (51 women, 35 men) suffering from benign dysphonia. The test persons completed the German version of the Voice-Related Quality of Life (V-RQOL) Questionnaire without prior information about their diagnosis and underwent voice analysis with the Dysphonia Severity Index (DSI) being the parameter of this study. Results: No correlation between V-RQOL and DSI could be found (p > 0.05). On the V-RQOL, women scored worse than men, but not at a significant level. Patients with dysphonia of organic origin scored significantly worse than patients with functional dysphonia (p = 0.026). On the DSI, men’s values were significantly lower than women’s (p = 0.001). Organic dysphonia caused significantly lower DSI values than functional dysphonia (p = 0.011). Conclusion: Objective voice quality and the individual perception of voice quality by the patient are independent parameters. Both need to be assessed in clinical practice.

“…1 The majority of patients are highly satisfied, yet a small minority experience complications. 2,3 Infection, diagnosed in 1-5% of patients, is the most disconcerting problem due to the associated high morbidity and possible mortality. 4 The presentation is often chronic or late, difficult to assess and properly diagnose, and the treatment is often limited by the irresolute diagnosis.…”

The gold standard for diagnosing PPI remains bacterial culture, but sensitivity is negatively affected by prior antibiotic exposure, strongly adherent bacteria, slow growing persisters, and biofilms. ESR and CRP are reflective of systemic changes in infection and pose an attractive, less invasive alternative with reasonable sensitivity and specificity. The current study is the first to identify ideal cut-off values for ESR and CRP in THA patients, providing an optimum balance between sensitivity and specificity based on ROC curves.

Objectives: To evaluate the functional and isokinetic muscular performance of the elderly, after total and unilateral hip arthroplasty due to hip osteoarthritis (OA).Methods: Twenty elderly with total hip arthroplasty (THA) and a matched control group were included. Isokinetic muscular performance (Biodex) and gait speeds were measured (GAITRite®). THA group completed the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire.Results: There were no differences between non-operated and operated legs. Significant differences between groups were evident for hip abduction (p≤0,008), knee flexion (p≤0,003) and knee extension (p≤0,003) movements. At the fast gait speed, statistical significant effects between groups were observed (THA=1,71m/s, Control=1,96m/s, p=0,017). THA elderly group showed lower scores in pain (6±11,85), stiffness (8,12±15,39) and function (9,12±20,45) in WOMAC domains. Conclusion:Years after THA surgery due to OA, the elderly were not restored to the same levels of strength and power of the hip and knee muscles, as compared with a matched control group

Quality of Life of Men and Women with Osteoarthritis of the Hip and Arthroplasty

Abstract: These results suggest that men with severe osteoarthritis of the hip have better quality of life than do women preoperatively and 6 wks after hip arthroplasty. These findings would be important for improving quality of care of our patients.
