The prevalence of mental disorders among incarcerated adult men convicted of child sexual exploitation material offences.

Objective: Despite the growing body of research on individuals convicted of child sexual exploitation material (CSEM), relatively little is known about the prevalence of mental disorders in this population. The aim of the present study was to describe the prevalence of mental disorders among individuals convicted of CSEM offenses.

Methods: This cross-sectional study examined data from 66 individuals serving a sentence for CSEM offenses in the Austrian prison system who underwent a clinical assessment between 2002 and 2020.

[Triple arthrodesis in treatment of degenerative hindfoot deformities: clinical, radiological and pedobarographic results].

Introduction: Triple arthrodesis is performed to reconstruct a painless plantigrad foot in cases of fixed and painful hindfoot deformity. Mid-term results of our patients after triple arthrodesis concerning clinical and functional as well as radiological outcome were assessed in this examination.

Patients And Method: In the retrospective study, 24 feet in 20 patients with triple arthrodesis after degenerative hindfoot malposition were examined.

The mirror world of motor inhibition: the alien hand syndrome in chronic stroke.

Alien hand syndrome (AHS) is rare, but important due to its disabling impact on everyday life. The determining characteristic of AHS is intermanual conflict, a type of inhibitory motor behaviour that occurs against willed action. Its components have previously been described as single case reports, but not as a systematic study.

Primary cytomegalovirus infection in patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is frequently associated with the presence of CMV-specific IgM-antibodies or CMV-DNA in serum. Detection of IgM-antibodies or viremia may indicate primary infection, but also reactivation or reinfection. We identified 46 GBS patients with detectable CMV-specific IgM- or IgG-antibodies, or both.
