  • Comparing the Effect of Tourniquet vs Tourniquet-Less in Simultaneous Bilateral Total Knee Arthroplasties.
    The Journal of arthroplasty, 2018
    Co-Authors: Mohamed Shaher Hasanain, Dragos Apostu, Attaallh Alrefaee, Samih Tarabichi
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a commonly performed Procedure worldwide for the treatment of knee joint disease. Tourniquet is frequently used during the Entire Procedure to reduce blood loss and increase surgical comfort. On the other hand, tourniquet-related complications exist, and there are still controversies whether benefits outweigh the risks. Methods Patients undergoing simultaneous TKAs had one knee assigned to group A (use of tourniquet during the Entire Procedure) and the other knee assigned to group B (use of tourniquet only during cementation). Blood loss, intraoperative complications, implant alignment, soft tissue swelling, pain score, and range of motion were analyzed. Results Fifty-four patients undergoing 108 TKAs were included in the study. Total blood loss was almost 2 times higher in group B knees compared with group A. No difference was observed between groups in implant alignment, soft tissue swelling, pain, range of motion, or other early postoperative complications. Conclusion Tourniquet use in TKAs during the Entire surgical Procedure reduces total blood loss, without an increase in early postoperative complications.

  • Driving non-Gaussian to Gaussian states with linear optics
    Physical Review A, 2003
    Co-Authors: Dan E. Browne, Jens Eisert, Stefan Scheel, Martin B. Plenio
    Abstract:

    We introduce a protocol that maps finite-dimensional pure input states onto approximately Gaussian states in an iterative Procedure. This protocol can be used to distill highly entangled bipartite Gaussian states from a supply of weakly entangled pure Gaussian states. The Entire Procedure requires only the use of passive optical elements and photon detectors, which solely distinguish between the presence and absence of photons.
