Gender Does Not Influence The Relationship Between Posterior Cruciate Ligament Design And Patient-Reported Outcomes In Patients Receiving Primary Unilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty, Ryan Milan
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The effect of the interaction between gender and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) prosthesis design on patient-reported outcomes is an understudied area of research. We evaluated 1613 patients, from the Ontario Joint Replacement Registry (2001-2006), who underwent primary total knee replacement. This study investigated the impact of the gender-PCL design interaction on Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) change scores and patient satisfaction, by performing linear regression analysis, using full-adjusted models that also included the gender-PCL prosthesis design interaction variable. PCL prosthesis design did not affect WOMAC change scores or satisfaction (p>0.05). Moreover, Gender did not influence either …

Human Papillomavirus: How Social Ideologies Influence Medical Policy And Care, Fadi Hachem
Human Papillomavirus: How Social Ideologies Influence Medical Policy And Care, Fadi Hachem

Despite its high prevalence in the general population, as a sexually transmitted infection, there is a great deal of shame and stigma associated with contracting the virus (Waller, et. al. 2007). HPV is a disease of disparities in that ethnic and sexual minorities are disproportionately affected. Since the HPV vaccine is most effective at both a younger age, and before the first sexual experience, …
