The objective of this study is to correlate clinical symptoms and functionality, using the KOOS (Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score) and KSS (Knee Society Score System) scores, with the radiographic changes, using the Kellgren-Lawrence classification, in patients with knee osteoarthritis and indications for Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ There is a weak correlation between the clinical-functional scores of TKA candidates and their radiographic classification by Kellgren-Lawrence. Among clinical scores evaluated, KSS had the strongest negative correlation with the radiographic classification.

Exercise rehabilitation is the core of Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) and will improve the prognosis of patients receiving Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI surgery). The current study retrospectively analyzed the effects of different exercise-based CR strategies on the prognosis of AMI patients receiving PCI treatment. ⋯ The current study showed that exercise-based CRs had better improving effects than the normal nursing strategy on the prognosis of AMI patients receiving PCI surgery.

To look into the effects of different anesthesia methods on the labor process and the expression of serum estrogen and progesterone in primiparas with painless labor. ⋯ Spinal anesthesia combined with continuous epidural anesthesia has a better anesthesia effect in the painless labor of primiparas, which can effectually ameliorate the labor process and the expression of serum estrogen and progesterone.
