Disease-Related Knowledge, Stress, and Quality of Life of Parental Caregivers of Children with Cleft Lip and Palate in a Selected Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
JPRAS Open
March 2025
Introduction: Cleft lip and palate (CLP) is one of the most common congenital anomalies worldwide, affecting approximately 2,000 children annually in Vietnam. Parental caregivers, particularly mothers, face considerable challenges in managing complex treatment pathways and addressing their children's multifaceted needs. This often leads to increased stress and decline in the quality of life (QoL).

The purpose of this study was to determine whether prior tuberosity screw fixation before plate fixation of main osteotomy fragment can prevent complications associated with tuberosity screw.
Methods: From 2019 to 2021, patients who underwent RT-OWHTO were divided into two groups (group I, prior tuberosity screw fixation; group II, later tuberosity screw fixation).
Purpose: To compare the changes in patellofemoral (PF) joint alignment, focusing on multiple planes, between two different types of biplanar medial opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO).
Methods: Patients who underwent biplanar OWHTO between July 2017 and May 2021 were retrospectively evaluated. They were allocated to either the supra-tubercular (ST)- or retro-tubercular (RT)-OWHTO group.
Background: An appropriate tunnel position, tunnel angle, and tunnel-graft angle are important factors for maintaining the stability and mechanical properties of a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) graft.
Purpose: To evaluate the association between tunnel position, tunnel angle, graft signal intensity ratio (SIR), and graft thickness after remnant-preserving PCL reconstruction.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
Article Synopsis
- Madelung's disease is a rare condition that causes disfigurement and functional issues in the head, neck, and arms, often requiring surgical treatment like lipectomy, which can be challenging due to large tumors.
- A study involving 17 male patients, all with a history of alcoholism, evaluated the effectiveness of injecting a tumescent solution before surgery, which helped facilitate fat removal during lipectomy procedures in the head and neck area.
- Results showed that the majority of surgeries were bloodless, with an average fat removal of about 583 grams; however, some early complications were noted in 15.4% of cases, indicating that the technique is generally safe and effective for treating this disease.
Purpose: In this study, the relationship between patient-specific geometric factors and tunnel placement in graft impingement was identified by using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signal intensity of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts.
Methods: Ninety-two patients, who were treated between 2014 and 2020, were included retrospectively. These patients underwent primary remnant-preserving outside-in ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and were followed up with postoperative MRI at least one year after surgery.
Background: Facial nerve palsy is one of the most common complications in parotid gland surgery. This report evaluates the effectiveness of applying Tumescent solution for preserving the facial nerve in parotidectomy.
Material And Methods: Prospective and descriptive clinical study on 34 patients undergoing parotidectomy with facial nerve preservation.
