Background: Arthroscopic treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) has previously been reported to have favorable short-term results in high-level athletes. Less is known about long-term outcomes.

Purpose: To report outcomes 10 years after hip arthroscopy for FAIS in high-level athletes using validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).

Neonatal therapeutic hypothermia in a regional swedish cohort: Adherence to guidelines, transport and outcomes.

Aim: Swedish guidelines for therapeutic hypothermia (TH) after perinatal asphyxia were established in 2007, following several randomised studies that demonstrated improved outcomes. We assessed the implementation of hypothermia treatment in a mid-Swedish region with a sizeable proportion of outborn infants.

Method: A population-based TH cohort from 2007 to 2015 was scrutinised for adherence to national guidelines, interhospital transport, including the use of a cooling mattress made of phase change material for thermal management, and outcomes.

Assessing CaDPA levels, metabolic activity, and spore detection through deuterium labeling.

Many strains among spore-forming bacteria species are associated with food spoilage, foodborne disease, and hospital-acquired infections. Understanding the impact of environmental conditions and decontamination techniques on the metabolic activity, viability, and biomarkers of these spores is crucial for combatting them. To distinguish and track spores and to understand metabolic mechanisms, spores must be labeled.

Nighttime Bracing or Exercise in Moderate-Grade Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Importance: Moderate-grade adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) may be treated with full-time bracing. For patients who reject full-time bracing, the effects of alternative, conservative interventions are unknown.

Objective: To determine whether self-mediated physical activity combined with either nighttime bracing (NB) or scoliosis-specific exercise (SSE) is superior to a control of physical activity alone (PA) in preventing Cobb angle progression in moderate-grade AIS.

The cost-effectiveness of home phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia in neonates: results from a randomized controlled trial.

This study aimed to establish the cost-effectiveness of home phototherapy versus hospital phototherapy treating hyperbilirubinemia in neonates more than 36 weeks. Based on clinical results from a randomised controlled trial showing that home phototherapy for hyperbilirubinemia in term neonates is as effective as hospital phototherapy, we performed a cost-minimisation analysis to identify the most cost-effective alternative. We included costs for health care resource use as well as costs for transportation in connection with re-visits.

High-level soccer players have a low rate of return to performance after hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Purpose: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a known cause of impaired sports performance in athletes and the relationship between FAIS and soccer players has previously been described. Hip arthroscopy is a viable treatment option that can facilitate athletes' return to sport (RTS). The aim of this study was to evaluate the RTS and return to performance (RTP) with objective measurements in high-level soccer players after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Good functional outcomes after endoscopic treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome.

Purpose: Greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS) is a term covering different conditions generating lateral hip pain. Recalcitrant cases may require surgery but there are only a few studies evaluating endoscopic treatment. This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of endoscopically treated GTPS at minimum two years postoperatively using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and to assess the complication rate associated with endoscopic surgery.

Arthroscopic iliopsoas tenotomy after total hip arthroplasty: safe method for the right patient.

Purpose: To evaluate the outcome of arthroscopic treatment for iliopsoas impingement after total hip arthroplasty (THA) 2 years after surgery using patient reported outcomes (PROM).

Methods: In this study 12 patients (13 hips) were included from a local hip arthroscopy registry. Patients completed web-based PROMs preoperatively and at a minimum of 2 years postoperatively.

[Hip pain].

Hip pain is difficult to assess and structured diagnostics is important. To facilitate the evaluation of hip pain, we recommend dividing hip pain between intra- and extra-articular pain, where the latter further can be divided into different entities. Plain radiographics are warranted before referral to orthopaedic specialist.

Most Elite Athletes Who Underwent Hip Arthroscopy for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome Did Not Return to the Same Level of Sport, but the Majority Were Satisfied With the Outcome of Surgery.

Purpose: To evaluate the 2-year outcomes after arthroscopic surgical treatment for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) using validated patient-reported outcome measurements in young elite athletes and to report the rate of return to sport.

Methods: Young elite athletes undergoing arthroscopic surgery for FAIS with 2 years of follow-up were included. A young elite athlete was defined as an athlete aged 18 to 22 years at the time of surgery with a Hip Sports Activity Scale (HSAS) level greater than 6 before the onset of symptoms.

Return to Sport for Professional and Subelite Ice Hockey Players After Arthroscopic Surgery for Femoroacetabular Impingement Syndrome.

Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a common cause of hip pain, which can prevent ice hockey players from sports participation. Hip arthroscopy is often performed to relieve pain and enable the player to return to sport (RTS) and return to performance (RTP).

Purpose: To determine the RTS and RTP rates for ice hockey players at the professional and subelite levels after hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Vertebral Hemangiomas: Prevalence, new classification and natural history. magnetic resonance imaging-based retrospective longitudinal study.

Background And Purpose: To determine the prevalence of vertebral hemangiomas (VHs), establish a new classification of VHs based on their MRI-signal pattern, and study their natural history.

Methods: MRI of 1000 consecutive patients who underwent at least two MRI with an interval of at least 3 years. Growth rate and change of MRI-signal pattern during the follow-up period were the parameters included in studying the natural history of VHs.

Protocol for a multicenter prospective cohort study evaluating arthroscopic and non-surgical treatment for microinstability of the hip joint.

Background: Microinstability of the hip joint is a proposed cause of hip pain and reduced function in young individuals. The underlying mechanism is thought to be extraphysiological hip motion due to bony deficiency and/or soft tissue deficiency or decreased soft tissue function. Recently, the condition has gained increased attention, and despite the fact that treatment today includes both non-surgical and surgical approaches, there is limited evidence on diagnostic specificity and treatment effects.

Home phototherapy of term neonates improves parental bonding and stress: Findings from a randomised controlled trial.

Aim: We aimed to evaluate whether in-home phototherapy for hyperbilirubinaemia could reduce the poorer parent-infant bonding and increased parental stress associated with neonatal hospital treatment.

Methods: In this multicentre randomised controlled trial, we allocated families to either home phototherapy or standard hospital care. The primary outcome was parent-infant bonding measured on the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire directly after therapy and 4 months later.
