Article Synopsis
- Orthopedic oncology surgeons frequently experience prolonged, complex surgeries, which can lead to increased physical and psychological stressors, making them susceptible to occupational injuries.
- A study found that 84% of surveyed orthopedic oncologists reported experiencing an occupational injury, with lower back pain being the most common issue, and many requiring surgery or time off work.
- Psychological disturbances were also prevalent, with burnout, anxiety, and insomnia reported among the surgeons, highlighting the need for improved ergonomics and stress management in the workplace.
Article Synopsis
- Intramedullary nailing (IMN) is commonly favored over plate osteosynthesis (PO) for treating humeral shaft metastases, though there is no clear consensus on which is better.
- This study aimed to determine if plate osteosynthesis would yield superior functional and pain outcomes compared to IMN, analyzing data from 18 patients with metastatic fractures.
- Results showed both surgical methods improved function and reduced pain without significant differences in quality of life or outcomes between the two techniques.
Background: Little has been published about the association of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and sarcoma. In this study, we sought to identify clinical features of patients with sarcoma presenting at least one VTE episode.
Methods: Our study was a retrospective case-control study of a single-institution database with univariate and multivariate analysis using chi-square and Student's test.
Background: While recent work emphasizes the multi-dimensionality of mobility, no current measure incorporates multiple domains of mobility. Using existing conceptual frameworks we identified four domains of mobility (physical, cognitive, social, transportation) to create a "Mobility Over Varied Environments Scale" (MOVES). We then assessed expected patterns of MOVES in the Canadian population.

However, little work includes broader mobility considerations such as cognitive ability to be mobile, social connections with community, or transportation choices. We used a population-based sample of Canadian middle aged and older adults (aged 45 and older) from the Canadian Community Health Survey-Healthy Aging (CCHS-HA, 2008-2009) to create a holistic mobility measure: Mobility over Varied Environments Scale (MOVES).

Objectives: We examined associations between serum PFASs and thyroid hormones (THs) in a representative, cross-sectional sample of U.S.
