    Background: Despite improvement in sterilization techniques, peri-prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most fearsome complication after hip and knee arthroplasties. Various strategies have been devised from time to time to diagnose and treat PJI. Recently, Leukocyte esterase and alpha-defensin are identified as markers of active infection in synovial fluid. Therefo ...

    Published On: January 25, 2021 | Pages: 001 - 002

    Author(s): Muravyev YV*, Muravyeva LA, Glukhova SI and Litvinova MA
    The analysis of almost a century-long evolution of ideas about the criteria for the activity of Rheumatoid Arthritis showed that the developed complex indices for determination there of are far from perfect, in particular the Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28), widely used in clinical practice [1]. Therefore, the recently developed new Disease Activity Score (EgyDAS) o ...
