Subaxial Spine Fractures: A Comparison of Patient-reported Outcomes and Complications Between Anterior and Posterior Surgery.

Study Design: Observational study on prospectively collected data.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare long-term patient-reported outcomes and complications after anterior or posterior cervical spine surgery for subaxial fractures.

Summary Of Background Data: There is no consensus in the literature regarding the optimal surgical approach when treating spine fractures in the subaxial region.

Long-term outcome of fusion for degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine.

Aims: Chronic low back pain due to degenerative disc disease is sometimes treated with fusion. We compared the outcome of three different fusion techniques in the Swedish Spine Register: noninstrumented posterolateral fusion (PLF), instrumented posterolateral fusion (IPLF), and interbody fusion (IBF).

Patients And Methods: A total of 2874 patients who were operated on at one or two lumbar levels were followed for a mean of 9.

Minor effect of loss to follow-up on outcome interpretation in the Swedish spine register.

Background And Purpose: Loss to follow-up in observational studies may skew results and hamper study reliability. We evaluated the importance of loss to follow-up in the Swedish spine register.

Patients: Patients operated in the lumbar spine and scheduled for a postal questionnaire follow-up during part of 2016 were identified.

[Achtsame Massage und Achtsamkeitsschulung (Insightouch®) bei Depressionen, psychosomatischen und Bindungsstörungen].

Hintergrund: Bindungsstörungen können das Auftreten von Angst und Depression begünstigen, lassen sich aber durch korrigierende emotionale Erfahrungen verändern. Eine Massage - insbesondere wenn beide, Masseur (m/w) und Klient, sich in einem Zustand der Achtsamkeit befinden - kann eine solche korrigierende Erfahrung vermitteln. In der vorliegenden Interventionsstudie wurden die Auswirkungen von Insightouch® - einer Kombination von achtsamkeitsbasierter Massage mit Achtsamkeitsschulung - untersucht.

Long-term outcome after spinal fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis in adults.

Background Context: Data on the long-term outcome after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis are scarce.

Purpose: To study patient-reported outcomes and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) after fusion for isthmic spondylolisthesis and to compare patient-reported outcomes with a control group.

Study Design/setting: A prospective study including a cross-sectional control group.
