c. His history of anxious depression
Explanation:
Medical comorbidities like anxiety and depression pre and postoperatively will lead to suboptimal or poor functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty.
Anxiety can increase the blood pressure which can lead to many postoperative complications after a TKA which in turn can result in poor outcomes from the surgery resulting in chronic pain.
A depressed patient will have a poor motivation to perform rehabilitative therapies in the postoperative period after TKA which are very vital for successful functional outcome of the operated knee. This also will lead to chronic persistent post-surgical knee pain.
Depression leads to dissatisfaction in the result after TKA which will make them feel pain.
Many studies have proved that anxiety and depressing will only lead to chronic pain syndrome among the elderly.
While the media does like to portray various effects of playing games on the brain, the reality is that there are actually were little, if any, effects how playing games could have dramatic long-lasting changes on our brains.
One of the more commonly observed things has been that people who do play a lot of shooting games and strategy games can have improved visual reaction times or are a little better at micromanaging. However, there is no drastic effects. Furthermore, games do not cause aggresive behavior, there is no substantial evidence for that claim :)
