Introduction: Many experts and communities have concerns about how National Disability Insurance Scheme services are provided to Aboriginal and Torres Strait children. This study was undertaken at the request of the NPY Women's Council in partnership with the researchers, to explore supports for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children living with a disability in their remote areas.
Objective: This scoping review aims to (a) explore the barriers and enablers to accessing disability support services for families of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children (0-8 years) living in regional, rural and remote settings, and (b) summarise best practice approaches for accessing support for young children in these settings.
Article Synopsis
- The article focuses on femoracetabular impingement (FAI) as a major cause of hip pain in children and adolescents, highlighting hip arthroscopy as an effective minimally invasive treatment option.
- Recent findings show that arthroscopy leads to significant improvements in pain and function for patients with FAI stemming from various conditions, including idiopathic FAI and Legg-Calve-Perthes disease.
- The procedure is particularly beneficial for young athletes, allowing them to return to sports with low risk, but it's important for families to discuss all treatment options and potential risks involved.
The purpose of this study was to determine which patient- or surgery-related factors are predictive of need for perioperative transfusion to avoid obtaining unnecessary pre-operative type and screens (T&S). We conducted an observational retrospective cohort study of 1200 women ≥ 18 years old undergoing gynecologic surgery for benign, possibly benign, or malignant indications on a gynecologic oncology service at a university medical center from 2009-2016. A logistic regression model was used to examine patient-related and surgery-related variables predictive of outcome of transfusion.

Methods: Patients undergoing ACL reconstruction in conjunction with a multimodal approach to pain control were randomized to receive either 30 or 60 tablets of hydrocodone (10 mg)-acetaminophen (325 mg). Patients were contacted at multiple time points up to 21 days after surgery to assess opioid utilization and medication side effects.
Objective: There is limited literature investigating the reliability of magnetic resonance-based assessments of labral size. The goal of this study was to validate the reliability of magnetic resonance arthrography-based labral size measurements with intra-operative arthroscopic measurements.
Methods: Patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears were prospectively enrolled.
