There Is an Inverse Correlation between Basic Motor Skills and Overweight in Schoolchildren Aged 8 to 12.

In the last three decades, childhood obesity has become a 21st century epidemic, a product of social development. The purpose of this study was to analyze the repercussions that overweight and obesity have for the basic motor skills of a group of children in primary school, as well as their interrelations. We analyzed a sample of 287 students from Spain, aged between 8 and 12 years.

The Impact of a Phone Assistance Nursing Program on Adherence to Home Exercises and Final Outcomes in Patients Who Underwent Shoulder Instability Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a phone assistance nursing program as an adjunct to conventional physiotherapy to increase adherence to a home exercise program on functional outcomes of patients who underwent shoulder instability surgery.

Methods: A randomized controlled study of 70 patients allocated to a phone assistance program (study group, n = 36 patients) or conventional postoperative management (control group, n = 34 patients) was conducted. All patients in both groups received conventional rehabilitation at the outpatient clinic after surgery.

A scoring system to predict 5-year mortality in patients diagnosed with laryngeal glottic cancer.

Only one prognostic model for laryngeal cancer has been published, but it has not been properly validated and is only applicable to patients treated with radiotherapy. Consequently, we constructed, internally validated and implemented in an App (Android), a predictive model of 5-year mortality in patients with glottic cancer in a cohort study of 189 patients with glottic cancer in 2004-2016 in Spain. The main variable was time-to-death.

A predictive model for recurrence in patients with glottic cancer implemented in a mobile application for Android.

Objectives: The existing predictive models of laryngeal cancer recurrence present limitations for clinical practice. Therefore, we constructed, internally validated and implemented in a mobile application (Android) a new model based on a points system taking into account the internationally recommended statistical methodology.

Materials And Methods: This longitudinal prospective study included 189 patients with glottic cancer in 2004-2016 in a Spanish region.

Prospective study of comminuted articular distal radius fractures stabilized by volar plating in the elderly.

Purpose: The objective was to assess the ability of the volar locking plate to maintain the radiographic parameters over the time in elderly patients with complex intra-articular distal radius fractures.

Methods: Prospective cohort of 66 consecutive patients with mean age of 68 (range 60-81) years and AO type C fractures treated with volar locking plate. Radiographic measurements were performed pre and post-operatively at each follow-up.

Intra-articular distal radius fractures in elderly patients: a randomized prospective study of casting versus volar plating.

Unlabelled: We compared outcomes in elderly patients with intra-articular distal radius fractures treated by closed reduction and plaster immobilization or open reduction and internal fixation with a volar plate. Ninety-seven patients older than 60 years were randomly allocated to conservative (47 patients) or surgical (50 patients) treatment. Over a 2-year period, we assessed patient-rated wrist evaluation score, DASH (disability arm, shoulder and hand) questionnaire, pain, wrist range of motion, grip strength, and radiological parameters.
