Background: To promote optimal development for families negatively impacted by traumatic birth experiences, research is needed to understand the potentially unique effects of childbirth-related post-traumatic stress disorder (CB-PTSD) symptoms on early relational health (ERH) in the family system.
Objective: To examine the nature and extent of current knowledge on the effect of CB-PTSD on early relational health of the family.
Search Strategy: We utilized previously published scoping review framework and followed PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines.
Introduction/objectives: This study evaluated circulating amino-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), amino-terminal pro-A-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proANP), and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) concentrations in dogs with precapillary pulmonary hypertension (Pre-PH) and control dogs with respiratory clinical signs but no Pre-PH.
Animals: Twenty-six dogs (17 affected, and nine controls) were involved in the study.
Materials And Methods: This was a sub-study of a large prospective single-center observational study.
Classification of hallux valgus deformity-is there a standard?
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
November 2024
Introduction: Hallux valgus deformity severity is one determent for the surgical procedure for hallux valgus (HV) correction. HV deformities are usually classified into mild/moderate/severe. The aim was to investigate the cut-off criteria used to classify HV deformity.

- Ligamentous injuries in the ankle are common, with this study focusing on the differences between isolated lateral ligament injuries and combined medial-lateral injuries, particularly given that isolated medial injuries are frequently overlooked.
- The study involved 111 patients who underwent either isolated lateral ligament or combined ligament reconstruction, using various outcome measures to evaluate recovery.
- Results indicated that while overall improvements were noted in both groups post-treatment, isolated lateral ligament reconstruction displayed significantly better dorsal extension and correlated positively with key functional outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - More than 100 surgical techniques exist for correcting hallux valgus (HV), but the study aimed to create a "living systematic review" to evaluate the outcomes of these surgeries based on recent data.
- - The review included 46 studies, focusing on comparing different surgical methods and analyzing outcomes such as osseous correction and patient satisfaction, leading to insights from 1933 procedures.
- - Results indicate that both open and minimally invasive techniques are effective, with third generation minimally invasive surgeries showing better outcomes for specific measurements (HVA), while improvements in patient-reported outcomes remained consistent over time.
