Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of prophylactic mesh placement in reducing the incidence of parastomal hernias following colostomy, ileostomy, and ileal conduit formation.
Methods: A systematic review identified relevant studies evaluating parastomal hernia incidence with prophylactic mesh use during stoma formation. Pairwise meta-analysis and network meta-analysis using Bayesian modeling were performed.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines pelvic organ-preserving radical cystectomy in women with muscle-invasive bladder cancer, aiming to understand its oncological outcomes compared to standard radical cystectomy.
- A systematic review analyzed six studies totaling 597 patients, finding no significant differences in overall survival, cancer-specific survival, or recurrence-free survival between the two surgical approaches.
- While most studies had a moderate risk of bias, the findings suggest that pelvic organ preservation does not adversely affect cancer outcomes, but further research is needed for clearer insights.
Context: High secondary injury rates after orthopedic surgeries have motivated concern toward the construct validity of return-to-sport test batteries, as it is evident that common strength and functional assessments fail to elicit pertinent behaviors like visual search and reactive decision making. This study aimed to establish the test-retest reliability of 2 reactive agility tasks and evaluate the impact of visual perturbation on physical performance.
Methods: Fourteen physically active individuals completed 2 agility tasks with reaction time (ie, 4 corner agility), working memory, and pathfinding (ie, color recall) components.
The determination of active motor threshold (AMT) is a critical step in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) research. As AMT is frequently determined using an absolute electromyographic (EMG) threshold (e.g.
