Long-term functional recovery after rib fractures: The impact of frailty.
J Trauma Acute Care Surg
November 2024
Background: Previous studies have shown that patients with rib fractures experience long-term functional limitations. However, the specific predictors of these worse long-term functional limitations remain under-characterized.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study including patients ≥18 years with an injury severity score ≥9 and isolated chest injury.
Article Synopsis
- * Conducted with 60 healthy adults in a randomized, double-blind trial, participants took either inulinase or placebo for 4 weeks after a 2-week placebo phase.
- * Results showed no significant differences in GI symptoms or safety biomarkers between the groups, indicating that inulinase is safe for use, warranting further studies for those with FODMAP sensitivities.
Background: Decreased nipple sensation following reduction mammoplasty can negatively affect a variety of patient-centered outcomes. This observational study examined the impact of dermoglandular pedicle type on subjective postoperative nipple sensation.
Methods: A total of 178 women who underwent a bilateral reduction mammoplasty at a single institution from 2017 to 2023 and completed an 11-item survey assessing subjective postoperative nipple sensitivity across various tactile modalities were included.
Purpose: Craniotomies for tumor resection can at times result in wound complications which can be devastating in the treatment of neuro-oncological patients. A cranial stair-step technique was recently introduced as an approach to mitigate these complications, especially in this patient population who often exhibit additional risk factors including steroids, chemoradiation, and VEGF inhibitor treatments. This study evaluates our cranial stair-step approach by comparing its postoperative complications using propensity score matching with those of a standard craniotomy wound closure.

Purpose: The choice of pedicle in reduction mammaplasty is highly variable with prior studies demonstrating high patient satisfaction in most cases. This study aimed to examine the impact of pedicle type on clinical and patient-reported outcomes in patients undergoing reduction mammaplasty.
Methods: A total of 588 patients underwent bilateral reduction mammaplasty with Wise pattern or modified Robertson incision by 13 surgeons at a single institution.
