Return to Work After Anterior Cervical Disc Replacement vs. Fusion: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

Study Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To compare return-to-work (RTW) outcomes between anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical disc replacement (CDR) in working-aged patients with degenerative cervical spine disease.

Summary Of Background: Degenerative cervical spine disease frequently affects individuals in their prime working years, causing physical and economic burden.

Analysis of the Relationship Between Rural-Urban Status and Use of Digital Health Technology Among Older Cancer Survivors Based on the Health Information National Trends Survey: Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Background: Though telehealth has been a promising avenue for engaging cancer survivors with health care and lifestyle programming, older and rural-dwelling cancer survivors may have additional challenges in accessing digital devices and tools that have not yet been described. This study aimed to use a robust, nationally representative sample collected in 2022 to provide an updated view of digital technology use and the use of technology for health in this population.

Objective: This study aimed to examine the prevalence of digital technology use for health-related activities among older cancer survivors in both rural and urban settings.

Episodic disability framework in the context of Long COVID: Findings from a community-engaged international qualitative study.

Background: Increasing numbers of adults are living with the health-related consequences of Long COVID. The Episodic Disability Framework (EDF), derived from perspectives of adults living with HIV, characterizes the multi-dimensional and episodic nature of health-related challenges (disability) experienced by an individual. Our aim was to determine the applicability of the Episodic Disability Framework to conceptualize the health-related challenges experienced among adults living with Long COVID.

Concurrent water T and fat fraction mapping of the breast using the radial gradient and spin echo (RADGRASE) pulse sequence.

This work describes and evaluates an efficient radial gradient- and spin-echo (RADGRASE) pulse sequence and reconstruction algorithm for concurrent measurement of proton-density weighted fat fraction (FF) and water component T (T) within breast tissues. The ability to estimate T in breast tissues, where fat can be highly abundant, is demonstrated using oil/gel phantoms across a wide range of FF values (0.1-0.
