A new technique using a hinged external fixator to stabilize an open reduction with pelvic and femoral osteotomies has been developed for treating high-dislocated hips in older children with developmental dislocated hip (DDH). This technique was performed in 11 patients (12 hips) at a mean age of 8.2 years. At follow up, radiographic results showed no redislocation/subluxation and clinical results demonstrated 11 hips as excellent/good and only one hip as poor from persistent stiffness. In conclusion, this new technique produces acceptable results in the treatment of older children with high dislocation of the hip from DDH.

Early-pregnancy per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and maternal post-pregnancy weight trajectory.
Obesity (Silver Spring)
March 2025
Department of Epidemiology, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate associations of early-pregnancy plasma per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) with maternal post-pregnancy weight trajectory parameters.
Methods: We studied 1106 Project Viva participants with measures of early-pregnancy plasma concentrations of eight PFAS. We measured weight at in-person visits at 6 months and 3, 7, and 12 years after pregnancy and collected self-reported weight via annual questionnaires up to 17 years after pregnancy.
LDL cholesterol levels and treatment intensity in secondary prevention of patients with ischemic heart disease in the primary care setting: a real-world data registry study.
BJGP Open
March 2025
Consorci d'Atenció Primària de Salut Barcelona Esquerra (CAPSBE), Barcelona, Spain
Background: Monitoring LDL cholesterol (LDL-C) and prescribing appropriate treatment is crucial for secondary prevention in primary care.
Aim: We studied LDL-C levels and treatments for ischemic heart disease patients according to target recommendations and assessed factors influencing prescribed drug intensity.
Design & Setting: We examined electronic health records of patients with ischemic heart disease from three primary care centers.
An exploratory study on municipal measures for preventing and addressing incidents of missing older persons with dementia living alone in Japan.
Psychogeriatrics
May 2025
Integrated Research Initiative for Living Well with Dementia, Tokyo Metropolitan Institute for Geriatrics and Gerontology, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: It is predicted that the number of older persons with dementia (PwD) living alone in Japan will increase in the future. Consequently, it is also expected that the number of missing older PwD living alone will rise. However, there is little research on missing PwD who live alone.

University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada; Haskins Laboratories, New Haven, CT, USA.
This study investigated the neurodevelopmental impacts of displacement on resettled Syrian refugee children in Canada, focusing on how the timing and duration of adversity experienced during displacement influence neural network organization. Using graph theoretical approaches within a network neuroscience framework, we examined how the developmental timing of displacement (age of displacement, duration of displacement) related to functional integration, segregation, and small-worldness. Syrian refugee children (n = 61, M=14 Range = 8-18), completed a resting state scan using functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) neuroimaging.

Department of Disease Control, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London.
Background: Hospital studies suggest that scrub typhus is a leading cause of severe undifferentiated fever in regions across Asia where the disease is endemic, but the population-based incidence of infection and illness has been little studied.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study to assess epidemiologic and clinical characteristics of scrub typhus in 37 villages in Tamil Nadu, India, where the disease is highly endemic. Study participants were visited every 6 to 8 weeks over a period of 2 years; a venous blood sample was obtained from those who had had fever since the last visit.
