The significance of psychological factors in orthopaedic surgery has long been underestimated. High psychological resilience plays a significant role in achieving a positive postoperative outcome in terms of mental health, pain, and functional outcomes. This underscores the need for a more holistic approach to patient care, one that considers not only the physical aspects of treatment but also the emotional and psychological well-being of patients. This may involve implementing strategies to enhance resilience, providing support resources for coping with the challenges of surgery and recovery, and fostering open communication between patients and healthcare providers...

BACKGROUND: There are multiple methods for calculating the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) threshold, and previous reports highlight heterogeneity and limitations of anchor-based and distribution-based analyses. The Warfighter Readiness Survey assesses the perception of a military population's fitness to deploy and may be used as a functional index in anchor-based MCID calculations. The purpose of the current study in a physically demanding population undergoing shoulder surgery was to compare the yields of two different anchor-based methods of calculating MCID for a battery of PROMs, a standard receiver operator curve (ROC) -based MCIDs and baseline-adjusted ROC MCIDs...

A newly documented pathotype 5 of the soil-borne fungus Sporisorium reilianum , causing head smut in sorghum, was tested against 153 unexplored Senegalese sorghum accessions. Among the 153 sorghum accessions tested, 63 (41%) exhibited complete resistance, showing no signs of infection by the fungus. The remaining 90 accessions (59%) displayed varying degrees of susceptibility. Sorghum responses against S. reilianum were explored to analyze the potential link with previously known seed morphology-related traits and new phenotype data from 59 lines for seed weight...

BACKGROUND: The gold standard treatment for periprosthetic joint infections is the two-stage revision that includes the spacer placement before definitive reimplantation. The management of PJI affects patients' joint function and, subsequently, their mental health. Even though significant advances have been achieved, little to no attention has been paid to the psychological implications. So, based on standardized patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), this study aimed to clarify the effect of spacer treatment of infected hip and knee arthroplasties on patients' mental health...

BACKGROUND: Complex elbow fracture dislocations, dislocation with fracture of one or several surrounding bony stabilizers, are difficult to manage and associated with poor outcomes. While many studies have explored treatment strategies but a lack of standardization of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) makes cross-study comparison difficult. In this systematic review, we aim to describe what injury patterns, measured outcomes, and associated complications are reported in the complex elbow fracture dislocation literature to provide outcome reporting recommendations that will facilitate improved future cross-study comparison...

OBJECTIVES: Society for Vascular Surgery guidelines recommend revascularization for patients with intermittent claudication (IC) if it can improve patient function and quality of life. However, it is still unclear if IC patients achieve a significant functional benefit from surgery compared to medical management alone. This study examines the relationship between IC treatment modality (operative vs. non-operative optimal medical management) and patient reported outcomes for physical function (PROMIS-PF) and satisfaction in social roles and activities (PROMIS-SA)...

INTRODUCTION: Rice bodies (RBs) are pale and glossy appearing small fibrinous nodules that form due to synovial or tenosynovial joint inflammation. RBs are significant as they are common in orthopedic practices causing nonspecific symptoms such as pain, swelling, range of motion limitations, crepitus, and catching sensations. These loose bodies occur often within the bursa as a symptom of chronic bursitis and are commonly associated with rheumatoid, inflammatory, or tuberculous arthritis...

Attitudes towards healthcare in the NHS and in other Western healthcare systems have been changing dramatically in recent years. There is a significant movement calling for a shift from the traditional paternalistic model, with patients as passive recipients of treatments that are supported by objective and observable evidence, towards a more holistic approach, in which patients have agency, and treatments are tailored to the individual needs of a particular patient. Whilst patient safety and clinical effectiveness remain intrinsic to the traditional measurement of successful healthcare, Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are increasingly being advocated as an important tool to uphold patient-centric care in the NHS...
