Abstract

A high incidence of spinal disorders is observed in professional drivers; in particular, back and neck pain result in high rates of morbidity and low retirement age. A sample of 77 drivers, of rubbish-collection vehicles who sit in a standard posture and of roadwashing vehicles, who drive with the neck and trunk flexed, bent and twisted, was studied using RULA, a method for the evaluation of the exposure to risk factors associated with work-related upper-limb disorders. Results showed a significant association between trunk and neck scores and all self-reported pains, aches or discomforts in the trunk or neck regions in all subjects. In particular, the neck score was significant in both postures, reflecting high loading of the neck. Significantly different posture scores were also recorded for drivers using an adjustable vs. a non-adjustable seat. In this first RULA study of the working posture of professional truck drivers, the method proved to be a suitable tool for the rapid evaluation of the loading of neck and trunk.

Abstract

We aimed to verify the clinical and economic effects of uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) compared to traditional three-port VATS technique. We analyzed 51 consecutive patients (23 three-port VATS and 28 uni-port VATS), treated by bullectomy and pleural abrasion, to detect differences between the two groups with regard to intraoperative management, postoperative course, pain, paraesthesia and costs. Data about pain and paraesthesia were collected by telephonic interview within a minimum follow-up period of six months. Compared to three-port VATS, patients treated by the uni-port VATS were discharged more quickly (3.8 days vs. 4.9 days, P=0.03) and experienced paraesthesia less frequently (35% vs. 94%, P

Abstract

Background: Probabilistic decision analysis is a means of reflecting the uncertainty parameter in models and of presenting it in a comprehensible manner to decision-makers.Materials and Methods: A cost-effectiveness model was constructed to compare the cementless and cemented total hip prostheses implanted at our department in terms of lifetime costs and quality-adjusted life-years (QALY). Revision rates were obtained from the Orthopaedic Prosthesis Register of the Laboratory of Medical Technology, Istituti Ortopedici Rizzoli, Bologna, Italy.Results: The risk of early revision (at 5 years of follow-up) for cementless and cemented prostheses was 1.6% and 1.4%, respectively, resulting in equal QALY for the two implant types. Analysis of mean cost and QALY indicated that use of either implant is not associated with cost savings.Discussion: Management with cementless or cemented total hip prostheses in a theoretical cohort of 70-year-old patients with fracture of the femoral neck or arthritis involving the hip is not significantly different according to the probabilistic results from the model.
