Background Multimodal analgesic regimens are well known as the best option for total knee arthroplasty. They include the adductor canal block, combined with local infiltration analgesia and a block of the interspace between the popliteal artery and the capsule of the posterior knee. However, these analgesic techniques all require a large amount of ...

BACKGROUND Cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes are necessary for the production or metabolism of fetal sex hormones during pregnancy. The second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D: 4D) is formed in the early stage of human fetal development and considered an indicator reflecting prenatal sex steroids levels. We explored the association between 2D: 4D and single-nuc...

Background Accumulated evidence has suggested that hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has a role in bone formation and bone tissue regeneration. However, it is unknown whether the H2S content is associated with bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteopenia/osteoporosis. Material/Methods In the present study, we aimed to explore the changes of serum H2...
