Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to Optimize Post-Operative Recovery (COPE): a randomized controlled feasibility trial in extremity fracture patients.
Pilot Feasibility Stud
January 2025
Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence, and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the feasibility of an online cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program for patients recovering from extremity fractures compared to usual care.
- Despite enrolling 94 participants, recruitment showed a "yellow light," indicating some success but needing improvements.
- Compliance with the CBT program was low, as only 60% completed all modules, leading to a "red light," suggesting significant changes are necessary before a larger trial can proceed.
Functional outcomes after ankle fracture-dislocation: a systematic review.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Washington University in St. Louis School of Medicine, St. Louis, MO, USA.
Introduction: Ankle fractures represent a significant portion of orthopedic injuries, with fracture dislocations tending to have worse outcomes. Logsplitter fractures represent a subset of fracture dislocations in which the talus is axially wedged in the tibiofibular joint. We aim to comprehensively investigate and report on the complications and functional outcomes associated with ankle fracture-dislocations.

Background: Left ventricular (LV) dilatation and extensive scar portend a poor prognosis in heart failure (HF). The Revivent TC system (BioVentrix Inc) is used either during a hybrid transcatheter-surgical or a surgical-only procedure to exclude transmural scar and reduce LV dimensions.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of the Revivent TC® anchor system in patients with HF.
Analysis of the Deterioration Mechanisms of Tools in the Process of Forging Elements for the Automotive Industry from Nickel-Chromium Steel in Order to Select a Wear-Limiting Coating.
Materials (Basel)
December 2024
Department of Metal Forming, Welding and Metrology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Lukasiewicza Street 5, 50-370 Wroclaw, Poland.
This paper provides a detailed analysis of the operation of representative forging tools (in the context of using various surface engineering techniques) used in the process of the hot forging of nickel-chromium steel elements. The influence of the microstructure and hardness of the material on the durability of the tools is also discussed, which is important for understanding the mechanisms of their wear. The research showed that the standard tools used in the process (only after nitriding) as a reference point worked for the shortest period, making an average of about 1400 forgings.
