Outcome measures used in peripheral nerve surgery for symptomatic neuroma in upper extremity amputations: A scoping review.

Novel surgical treatments for painful neuromas are increasingly used, but determining which provides the greatest benefit has been difficult due to the inconsistent use of outcome measures. We mapped the current literature of outcome measures used to evaluate peripheral nerve surgery for the management of symptomatic neuromas in patients who underwent an adult-acquired upper extremity amputation (UEA). Medline, Embase, Cochrane, and CINAHL were searched for primary research written in the English language from inception to February 2023.

Structural Origins of Poor Health Outcomes in Documented Temporary Foreign Workers and Refugees in High-Income Countries: A Review.

Despite growing evidence of racial and institutional discrimination on minoritized communities and its negative effect on health, there are still gaps in the current literature identifying health disparities among minoritized communities. This review aims to identify health barriers faced by relatively less studied migrant subgroups including documented temporary foreign workers and refugees residing in high-income Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries focusing on the structural origins of differential health outcomes. We searched Medline, CINAHL, and Embase databases for papers describing health barriers for these groups published in English between 1 January 2011 and 30 July 2021.
