Would Roussouly classification affect the diagnostic efficiency of vertebral bone quality score for assessing osteopenia or osteoporosis in lumbar degenerative disease?

Purpose: The aim of this study is to estimate the diagnostic efficiency of VBQ score for assessing osteopenia and osteoporosis in different Roussouly types in lumbar degenerative disease.

Methods: We reviewed the preoperative data of 501 patients with lumbar degenerative diseases who underwent lumbar spine surgery between July 2019 and December 2022 with available T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to analyze the diagnostic performance of VBQ score in different Roussouly classifications.

Effect of pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with long COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background: Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) has demonstrated efficacy in managing long COVID-19, underscoring the need to refine and tailor PR strategies for optimal patient outcomes.

Objectives: To evaluate the impact of PR on patients with long COVID-19 and to compare the efficacy of different types and durations of PR interventions.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Is Preoperative Happiness Influencing BREAST-Q Outcomes?

Background: BREAST-Q captures quality of life implications of breast reconstruction but may draw influence from the patients' psychosocial circumstances. This study aims to test: 1) positive affect is associated with higher breast satisfaction and well-being, and 2) socioeconomic status (SES) impacts this relationship.

Methods: This prospective study included breast reconstruction patients from August 2020 to October 2022.

The causal relationship between telomere length and cancer risk: A two-sample Mendelian randomization.

Background: Telomere length shortens with age and is associated with an increased risk of numerous chronic diseases. However, the causal direction between telomere length and cancer risk remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the causal impact of telomere length on cancer risk using Mendelian randomization(MR) analysis.
