Background And Purpose: In contemporary medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), non-lateral patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is not considered a contraindication. However, we still lack knowledge on the association of PFOA severity on patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) after mUKA. We aimed to examine the association between PFOA severity and PROM-score changes after mUKA.

- This study analyzed the effects of age on outcomes for patients undergoing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (mUKA), revealing that contemporary practices no longer limit eligibility based on age.
- A total of 782 patients were evaluated, showing significant improvements in knee function across all age groups after surgery, with no notable differences in the overall outcomes based on age.
- However, patients aged 55 to < 65 years experienced less improvement in specific measures of joint awareness and participation, but overall satisfaction was high across all age categories, supporting the current approach of not using age as a restriction for mUKA.
Unlabelled: The decision-making process of experts in forensic psychiatric investigations (FPI) is complex and reasoning regarding psychiatric diagnosis and severe mental disorder (SMD, the judicial concept central to legal exemption in Swedish law) has severe ramifications. Nevertheless, the qualitative aspects of FPI experts' decision-making process have seldom been studied systematically.
Method: The participants (N = 41) were FPI experts: forensic psychiatrists (n = 15), forensic psychologists (n = 15) and forensic social workers (n = 11).
Aims: We aimed to develop a European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life (QoL) module tailored for patients with advanced (resectable or unresectable stage III/IV) melanoma receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors or targeted therapy.
Methods: Following the EORTC QoL Group module development guidelines, we conducted phases 1 and 2 of the development process. In phase 1, we generated a list of health-related (HR)QoL issues through a systematic literature review and semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and patients with advanced melanoma.
Introduction: Patients with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental disorders (COD) within forensic psychiatric care often suffer poor treatment outcomes and high rates of criminal recidivism, substance use, and psychiatric problems. This study aimed to describe the conditions for, and mental health care staff's experiences with, implementing integrated SUD-focused clinical guidelines, including assessment and treatment for patients with COD at a high-security forensic mental health services (FMHS) facility in Sweden.
Methods: Study staff conducted nineteen semi-structured interviews with health care staff experienced in administering the new SUD assessment and treatment.
