Association between kidney function, nutritional status and anthropometric measures in older people: the screening for CKD among older people across Europe (SCOPE) study
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-02)
Background: Different mechanisms connect the nutritional status with the occurrence and the course of chronic kidney disease (CKD). The end-stage renal disease is complicated by catabolic inflammatory ...
Osseointegration of sandblasted and acid-etched implant surfaces. A histological and histomorphometric study in the rabbit
(MDPI, 2021)
Titanium surface is an important factor in achieving osseointegration during the early wound healing of dental implants in alveolar bone. The purpose of this study was to evaluate sandblasted-etched ...

(MDPI, 2021)
Lateral elbow tendinopathy, or “tennis elbow,” is a pathology that affects around 1.3% of the general population. Capacitive–resistive electric transfer therapy aims to provoke temperature and current ...
Early short-term postoperative mechanical failures of current ceramic-on-ceramic bearing total hip arthroplasties
(MDPI, 2020)
Although ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) bearings have been shown to produce the smallest amount of wear volume in vitro as well as in vivo studies when used for total hip arthroplasties (THA), concerns about ...
Timing of surgery following SARS-CoV-2 infection: an international prospective cohort study
