Impact of early detection and steroid treatment on fetal ventricular heart rate and pacemaker implantation in anti-Ro/SSA positive congenital heart block.

Introduction: We investigated the effects of timing of detection and transplacental fluorinated steroid treatment on ventricular heart rate (HR) and age at pacemaker implantation in fetal third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB).

Material And Methods: Twenty-five of 31 fetuses diagnosed with Ro/SSA autoantibody-positive AVB II-III at our tertiary fetal cardiology center (2000-2020) and AVB III as final feto-neonatal outcome were reviewed.

Knee Arthroscopic Surgery in Middle-Aged Patients With Meniscal Symptoms: A 10-Year Follow-up of a Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Short- and midterm evaluations of arthroscopic meniscal surgery have shown little or no effect in favor of surgery, although long-term effects, including radiographic changes, are unknown.

Purpose: To compare the 10-year outcomes in middle-aged patients with meniscal symptoms between a group that received an exercise program alone and a group that received knee arthroscopy in addition to the exercise program with respect to the prevalence of radiographic and symptomatic osteoarthritis (OA), patient-reported outcomes, and clinical status.
