Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, 925 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, PA, USA.

Background: No prior work has explored whether the presence of degenerative spondylolisthesis impacts patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) after an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF); therefore, the goal of the current study was to determine whether the presence of a spondylolisthesis affects PROMs after an ACDF.

Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients over the age of 18 who underwent a 1- or 2-level ACDF. All patients received preoperative standing lateral x-rays and were placed into 1 of 2 groups based on the presence of cervical spondylolisthesis from C2-T1: (1) no spondylolisthesis (NS) group or (2) spondylolisthesis (S) group. Preoperative, postoperative, and delta (postoperative minus preoperative) were recorded and compared between groups via univariate and multivariate analysis. Outcomes reported were the Physical Component Scores of the Short Form-12 (PCS-12), the Mental Component Scores of the Short Form-12 (MCS-12), the Neck Disability Index (NDI), and visual analog scale (VAS) Arm/Neck.

Results: A total of 202 patients were included in the final analysis with 154 in the NS group and 48 in the S group. Both patient cohorts reported significant postoperative improvement in PCS-12, NDI, and VAS Arm/Neck. When comparing outcome scores between groups, only MCS-12 delta scores were different between groups, with the S group exhibiting a greater mean delta score (8.3 vs 1.3, = 0.024) than the NS group after ACDF. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated having spondylolisthesis at baseline was a significant predictor of greater change in MCS-12 than the NS group (β = 4.841; 95% CI, 0.876, 8.805; = 0.017).

Conclusion: Both groups demonstrated significant postoperative improvement in PCS-12, NDI, or VAS Neck/Arm pain scores with no significant differences between groups. Patients with spondylolisthesis were found to have significantly greater improvement scores in MCS-12 scoring than those without spondylolisthesis after ACDF surgery.

Arch Gynecol Obstet 2022 May 21. Epub 2022 May 21.

Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, University Hospital Essen, Hufelandstraße 55, 45147, Essen, Germany.

Background: To achieve long-term improvement in health care of transgender women, it is necessary to analyze all aspects of gender-confirming surgery, especially the relation of risks and benefits occurring in these procedures. While there are many studies presenting data on the urologic part of the surgery, there are just few data about complications and satisfaction with breast augmentation.

Methods: This is a retrospective study using parts of the BREAST-Q Augmentation Questionnaire and additional questions for symptoms of capsular contracture and re-operations and analyzing archived patient records of all transwomen which were operated at University Hospital Essen from 2007 to 2020.

Studies have proposed that individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be divided into several subtypes depending on their sensory features. However, consideration of social communication features is also crucial for configuring ASD subtypes, because social and sensory features are tightly interrelated. In this study, we asked Japanese individuals with ASD to answer the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) and the Social Responsiveness Scale, Second Edition (SRS-2), which measure sensory and social aspects, respectively.

Sleep disorders are a common comorbid condition in children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder ("autism"). However, the relationship between the clinical features of autism and sleep disorders remains unclear. A better understanding of the inherent autism-related characteristics linked to comorbid sleep disorders would improve comprehensive assessment and management. Read More
