A 5-year-old boy was admitted to our hospital because of severe obesity and disordered breathing with snoring during sleep. Child OHS was diagnosed using polysomnography (PSG). Although he was treated initially with nasal CPAP, it was not acceptable to him. BiPAP produced marked reduction of the respiratory disorders during sleep, as confirmed by PSG. Few reports of BiPAP for child OHS have appeared in Japan. We concluded that child OHS could be successfully treated with BiPAP when nasal CPAP was not acceptable.

Long-Term Results After Salter Innominate Osteotomy for the Treatment of Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip-Only 8% Rate of Total Hip Arthroplasty at a Median Follow-Up of 22 Years.
Children (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Orthopedics, Radboud University Medical Center, 6525 GA Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background/objectives: The redirection or reshaping of the acetabulum might be warranted to attain a concentric and stable hip in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The aim of this study is to assess the late clinical and radiological results, and to determine the number of patients requiring secondary surgery or a total hip arthroplasty at a long-term follow-up.
Methods: Our institution performed 99 Salter osteotomies on 76 patients without underlying neuromuscular conditions over a 21-year period, from 1981 to 2002.

Centre for Sleep and Wake Disorders, Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Background: Studies on the survival of patients with home mechanical ventilation (HMV) are sparse. We aimed to analyse the impact of controlled hypercapnia on survival over 27 years among patients with HMV in Sweden.
Study Design And Methods: Population-based cohort study of adult patients starting HMV in the Swedish Registry for Respiratory Failure (Swedevox) during 1996-2022 cross-linked with the National Cause of Death registry.
Trade-offs among human, animal, and environmental health hinder the uniform progress of global One Health.

The One Health (OH) approach, integrating aspects of human, animal, and environmental health, still lacks robustly quantified insights into its complex relationships. To fill this knowledge gap, we devised a comprehensive assessment scheme for OH to assess its progress, synergies, trade-offs, and priority targets. From 2000 to 2020, we find evidence for global progress toward OH, albeit uneven, with its average score rising from 61.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a prevalent and progressive complication in young patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), but no study evaluated the long-term subjective and objective outcome measures. Oxford hip score (OHS) and Oxford shoulder scores (OSS) are validated joint-specific patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). In this prospective multicentre study, 47 SCD patients with pre-existing diagnosis of AVN occurred at a median age of 35.
