Background: Operative treatment is widely used for acute proximal hamstring avulsions, but its effectiveness compared with that of nonoperative treatment has not been shown in randomized trials.
Methods: In this noninferiority trial at 10 centers in Sweden and Norway, we enrolled patients 30 to 70 years of age with a proximal hamstring avulsion in a randomized trial and a parallel observational cohort. Treatments were operative reinsertion of the tendons or nonoperative management.
Article Synopsis
- Spinocerebellar ataxia 4 (SCA4) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder linked to chromosome 16q22.1, characterized by ataxia, polyneuropathy, and various neurological symptoms that were previously poorly understood.* -
- A research study on three Swedish families employed various diagnostic methods, including genetic testing and neuroimaging, revealing new features such as dysautonomia, motor neuron involvement, and significant brain atrophy.* -
- The study identified a novel genetic mutation, a GGC expansion in the ZFHX3 gene, as the cause of SCA4, expanding its clinical profile to include symptoms like dysautonomia and other neuromuscular
Purpose: When treating Lung Cancer, it is necessary to identify early treatment failure to enable timely therapeutic adjustments. The Aim of this study was to investigate whether changes in tumor diffusion during treatment with chemotherapy and bevacizumab could serve as a predictor of treatment failure.
Material And Methods: A prospective single-arm, open-label, clinical trial was conducted between September 2014 and December 2020, enrolling patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Introduction: In many pain conditions, there is lingering pain despite healed tissue damage. Our previous study shows that individuals who underwent surgery for lumbar disk herniation (LDH) during adolescence have worse health, more pain, and increased disk degeneration mean 13 years after surgery compared with controls. It is unclear if walking patterns segregate surgically treated LDH adolescents and controls at mean 13-year follow-up.

We aimed to establish whether the degree of lumbar degeneration differs at diagnosis or at follow-up between surgically and non-surgically treated individuals.
Methods: We identified individuals with a lumbar disc herniation in adolescence diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and contacted them for follow-up MRI.
