Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how cohabitation status affects the success of a web-based weight loss intervention for cancer survivors and their partners, focusing on elements of social cognitive theory like self-efficacy and support.
- Results showed that the intervention positively influenced dietary support and reduced perceived barriers to diet and exercise for non-cohabitating partners, but these effects were not observed among cohabitating couples.
- The findings highlight the importance of social support from partners who do not live together, while also indicating that the dynamics of these relationships need further exploration.
Outcomes of sciatic neurolysis in chronic hamstring tears: a retrospective case series.

Article Synopsis
- Proximal hamstring tears can cause sciatic nerve issues, and this study aimed to assess the benefits of repairing these tears while also performing sciatic nerve neurolysis.
- A retrospective review of 32 patients with chronic hamstring injuries revealed that a significant number experienced sciatic neuritis symptoms prior to surgery, yet most showed improvement in symptoms and strength postoperatively.
- The findings suggest that performing sciatic nerve neurolysis alongside hamstring repair is effective and safe, particularly for those experiencing nerve-related symptoms.
Background: Severe aortic stenosis (AS) can present insidiously, with the end stages resulting in significant valvular-induced cardiomyopathy and can lead to cardiogenic shock (CS). Such cases result in a myriad of complex manifestations and are often associated with a poor prognosis. These patients require emergent cardiac evaluation and valvular intervention.
