Objective: Controversy exists regarding treatment of symptomatic low-grade spondylolisthesis (LGS). Both one- and two-stage fusions are commonly performed, but it is unclear if one approach is superior. We aim to compare the satisfaction rates and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in patients with LGS undergoing one- versus two-stage lumbar spine surgery.

Anomaly detection is crucial for the stable operation of mechanical systems, securing financial transactions, and ensuring network security, among other critical areas. Presently, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)-based anomaly detection methods either require labeled data for semi-supervised learning or face challenges with low computational efficiency and poor generalization when dealing with complex distributions. Aim to address these limitations, we introduce a generative adversarial synthetic neighbors-based unsupervised anomaly detection (GASN) method.

Article Synopsis
  • Preoperative teaching is a critical nursing activity aimed at preparing patients for surgery by informing them about their procedures and recovery expectations, promoting active involvement in their care.
  • A study conducted in 2022 assessed preoperative teaching practices among 267 nurses in the West Shoa region of Ethiopia, finding that only 39.9% demonstrated good teaching practices, hampered by factors like insufficient training and resources.
  • The study utilized a structured questionnaire and statistical analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative education and identify obstacles faced by nurses, indicating a need for improvements in nursing education and support systems.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to compare the Modular Dual Mobility (MDM) hip system and large femoral heads (LFHs) in revision total hip arthroplasties (THAs), focusing on risks like dislocation and metal-related complications.
  • Researchers analyzed 299 revision THAs and found that the MDM group had a significantly lower rate of re-revision for dislocation (99% survival) compared to the LFH group (91% survival), with increased risks for LFH patients.
  • Overall, THAs utilizing the MDM construct demonstrated a safer profile, particularly in reducing re-revisions related to dislocation and had no reported issues with metallosis or corrosion.
