Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how early-adolescence prodromes in schizophrenia (SCZ) relate to social cognition deficits and sensorimotor impairments, comparing them to autism spectrum disorders (ASD).
- It involves four groups: ASD, SCZ with early-adolescence prodromes (under 15), SCZ with late-adolescence prodromes (over 15), and a control group, analyzing their social cognition and neurological soft signs (NSS).
- Findings indicate that SCZ with early prodromes show similar social cognition impairments as those with ASD, highlighting that age of prodrome onset plays a critical role in understanding SCZ subgroups rather than just the onset of psychosis.
Background And Purpose: We aimed to determine sex differences for periprosthetic joint infections after primary arthroplasty of the hip, knee, ankle, and shoulder in osteoarthritis patients in an international perspective.
Methods: This is a multinational combined arthroplasty registry study. Each arthroplasty registry performed Cox-regression analysis of their data and reported the crude and adjusted hazard ratios (HR) with an a priori designed data form.
Aims: Approximately 10% to 20% of knee arthroplasty patients are not satisfied with the result, while a clear indication for revision surgery might not be present. Therapeutic options for these patients, who often lack adequate quadriceps strength, are limited. Therefore, the primary aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical effect of a novel rehabilitation protocol that combines low-load resistance training (LL-RT) with blood flow restriction (BFR).

- Mobility is crucial for healthy aging, with declines linked to various negative outcomes like falls and disability in older adults.* -
- The study analyzed data from 3,882 community-dwelling Canadians aged 65 and older, assessing mobility through tests over a six-year period to investigate how sociodemographic factors influence mobility decline.* -
- Key findings revealed significant correlations between mobility measurements, and factors such as age, gender, marital status, education, income, and ethnicity were identified as influential in mobility decline among participants.*

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a widely performed surgical intervention designed to relieve pain and restore function in patients with severe knee joint degeneration, most commonly due to osteoarthritis. This procedure involves replacing the damaged knee joint with a prosthetic implant, providing significant improvements in mobility and quality of life. While TKA is beneficial for many, the individuals who stand to gain the most are those with advanced knee arthritis unresponsive to conservative treatments, typically aged 60 and above, experiencing activity-related pain and functional limitations.
