According to many authors, the incidence of osteomyelitis in the world is increasing, doubling its rate between the 1960s and the 2010s. Despite the growing number of publications in this area, this disease still represents a major challenge for orthopedists around the world. This study aimed to highlight the continued importance and utility of plain radiography as a rapid, cost-effective, and readily accessible examination in the diagnostic process. Our study shows that radiographic findings in chronic osteomyelitis were universally observed in all patients studied, demonstrating a high degree of concordance among specialists. #osteomyelitis, #boneinfection, #musculoskeletaldisorders https://lnkd.in/ez7ypaqK

🚨 Big news from Vesalio! 🚨 We’re launching a U.S. clinical study for our pVasc™ Thrombectomy System, designed to address the challenges of removing thromboemboli in acute limb ischemia (#ALI). The #pVasc Study will gather real-world data to help optimize revascularization strategies in supporting patients with peripheral arterial disease (#PAD). We’re looking forward to connecting with industry experts at the upcoming TCT, VIVA, and VEITH conferences to share insights on our advancements and discuss the future of vascular health. Read Press Release: https://lnkd.in/g9ysv9Wd This is just the beginning—stay tuned for more updates as we continue pushing the boundaries of endovascular innovation! 💡 #DoTheDropZone #PeripheralThrombectomy #AcuteLimbIschemia #PeripheralArterialDisease

Our selected "Article of the Month": The costs analysis related to COPD, evaluated in a representative sample compared to individuals without the disease, informs that in 2019 the overall estimate of costs incurred was equal to $31.3 billion. This figure is destined to double within the next 10 years, albeit with significant national geographical differences. This evidence actualizes the enormous economic burden determined by this pathology and highlights how the complexity of the care required by these patients makes action planning necessary to rationalize resources. https://lnkd.in/grx5yTDG

The #CortisolTestCassette (Serum/Plasma) is a vital diagnostic tool for assessing cortisol levels, which is crucial in identifying diseases such as Cushing's syndrome and Addison's disease. Abnormal cortisol levels may lead to serious health issues, including chronic fatigue, muscle weakness and metabolic disorders, significantly impacting an individual's quality of life. This test utilizes a fluorescence immunoassay for the precise quantitative determination of cortisol in human serum and plasma, providing results within a test range of 50 nmol/L to 1000 nmol/L. The advantages of the Cortisol Test Cassette include its accuracy, ease of use and rapid results, making it an essential resource for healthcare professionals. Ultimately, it plays a significant role in early diagnosis and management of cortisol-related conditions, enhancing patient care and improving health outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gAFTXvv7 #CortisolTest #AddisonsDisease #FluorescenceImmunoassay #PatientCare #MetabolicDisorders #AllTest #Innovation
