Objective: The primary research aim was to determine if the use of traditional or 3D printed prosthesis resulted in better functional outcome scores in hip arthroplasty.
Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted utilizing the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Six databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, WebOfScience, and Cochrane Library, Google Scholar) were searched yielding 1117 article titles and abstracts.
Background: Psychotropic medications are a common treatment modality for people living with severe and persistent mental illness (SPMI). While effective in reducing relapse and hospitalisation, psychotropic medications cause numerous side effects, varying in nature and severity. Identification and management of side effects is crucial in the ongoing management of SPMI.

Materials And Methods: Sixty-eight patients were randomized in a 1:1 fashion to have the visualization for arthroscopic partial meniscectomy performed with either a needle arthroscope or traditional arthroscope. Prior to surgery and one-week post procedure, patients underwent peak torque isometric knee extension testing using a handheld dynamometer and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score collection.
Article Synopsis
- The article investigates the effectiveness of a reinforced bio-inductive implant (RBI) in improving outcomes for high-risk patients undergoing rotator cuff repairs (RCR).
- A study examined 49 patients with complex rotator cuff tears and comorbidities, finding a high clinical healing rate of 94% and a low surgical intervention rate of 8.2% after a follow-up of about 26 months.
- Results showed significant improvements in pain (measured by VAS), function (using ASES scores), and range of motion (ROM), indicating the RBI may benefit patients at high risk of retear following surgery.
Article Synopsis
- Advancing age significantly increases cancer risk, necessitating collaborations among medical teams to support older adults during their treatment, which can often require numerous visits.
- At the CAIT clinic at Memorial Sloan Kettering, a study analyzed the use of telemedicine among 288 older cancer patients, revealing that 77% preferred telehealth options over in-person visits.
- Factors like older age, lower education, cognitive issues, and poor social support were linked to a preference for in-person appointments, emphasizing the need for better remote healthcare infrastructure to ease the treatment burden.
