Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI) is a complex, often post-traumatically developing impairment of the hip joint. It is characterized by ambiguous symptomatology, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of a triaxial gyroscopic sensor in routine practice as an additional indication criterion for operative versus conservative treatment procedures. Methods: Ninety-two patients were included in the experimental retrospective study and 62 completed the examination. All patients signed informed consent. A gyroscopic sensor was placed on the right side of the pelvis above the...

Background: Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) is a protein that has been associated with skeletal muscle regeneration, but details regarding its role in Arthritis remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to investigate LCN2 levels of Arthritis patients and its relationship with oxidative and antioxidative factors.Methods: The study includes (125) blood samples of persons aged 20–65 years were divided into a control group (apparently healthy) consisting of 55 samples [31female, 24 males] and a Patient group consisting of 70 samples [37female, 33 males] who were attending the bone diseases consultation unit at the Ibn Sina Teaching Hospital in Mosul,...

Juvenil, a nontoxic extract of bovine blood, is registered as a dietary supplement having no side effects. It contains a broad spectrum of free amino acids, as well as small proteins and oligopeptides (molecular weights up to 10 kDa), various nucleotides, and small amounts of phospholipids. The complex of these exclusively natural components has been shown to support physiological responses of supplemented organisms.Juvenil has been studied for several decades using a wide range of both experimental and clinical studies. Analyses have shown that it acts directly neither on individual functional systems of the body nor on individual metabolic processes....

Objectives: Due to a variety of factors, individuals with diabetes are more likely to develop anemia. Chronic kidney disease, a frequent consequence of diabetes, is one of the key contributing factors. Diabetic neuropathy is another reason that can result in gastrointestinal bleeding and iron malabsorption. Healthcare providers must be aware of the connection between diabetes and anemia in order to closely monitor and treat both disorders and lessen their detrimental effects on general health and quality of life. This review sought to explore the underlying factors that lead to anemia in diabetic individuals, as well as the most prevalent kinds of...
