Background: Recent results from the Dutch NELSON study have rekindled debates about the benefit-to-harm ratio of lung cancer screening and the comprehension of this by physicians.
Methods: This research surveyed the perception and understanding of 136 Austrian physicians regarding the advantages and risks of lung cancer screening, examining the impact of educational data visualization tools, including fact box and icon array. Physicians participated in an online survey about their understanding before and after exposure to either a fact box alone or combined with an icon array.
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the Single-Step Pedicle Screw System (SSPSS), a method for placing screws in minimally invasive spine surgery, that does not use traditional tools like K-wires.
- Researchers compared the planned screw paths with actual positions using CT scans after surgeries on patients who received lumbar interbody fusion.
- Results showed 95% accuracy in screw placements with no complications, suggesting SSPSS is a reliable alternative for pedicle screw placement.
Background: Ambulatory anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) is a promising method, but not common in Poland.
Objective: That is why the purpose of this study was to demonstrate the experience of performing ACDF in patients with degenerative spinal diseases.
Methods: This study at the Spine Centre involved a single-center, multi-surgeon evaluation of 100 patients undergoing ACDF.
Background: There is conflicting evidence on impulsivity and its potential relationship with inhibitory control in schizophrenia. This study therefore aimed to identify differences in impulsivity and cognitive and motor inhibition between patients with deficit (DS) and non-deficit (NDS) schizophrenia and healthy controls (HC). We also explored the relationships between impulsivity and different dimensions of inhibitory control in all studied groups.
