Residents' Learning Curve of Total Knee Arthroplasty Based on Radiological Outcome Parameters: A Retrospective Comparative Study.

Background: This study aimed to plot the impact of a learning curve for a resident's first 103 total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) based on radiological deviations and incision to closure time (ICT), and to compare it to 103 matched TKAs performed by a senior surgeon.

Methods: This is a retrospective comparative study comprising a total of 206 TKAs and evaluated the results based on radiographic outcome and ICT. Radiological evaluation was performed according to a predefined implemented radiological grading system (RGS).

Assessing the Impact of Atopic Dermatitis on the Patients' Parents with the Visual Instrument 'Caregiver-PRISM'.

Background: There is a need to improve the quality of communication between clinicians and parents of young patients with atopic eczema (AE).

Objective: To create a tool to measure the suffering that caregivers experience in association with their child's AE (Caregiver Pictorial Representation of Illness and Self-Measure, Caregiver-PRISM), assess the validity and reliability, and identify factors associated with caregiver suffering.

Methods: Caregiver-PRISM was administered to 45 parents of patients from an AE outpatient service (Padua, Italy).
