The purpose of this study was to evaluate risk factors for re-recurrent carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in long-term renal hemodialysis (HD) patients. Fifteen wrists of ten HD patients, follow-up period of minimum seven years after reoperation of CTS, were included in this study. Duration of HD, period from first operation to reoperation, shunt side was involved or not, presence of trigger finger and cervical destructive spondyloarthritis, and operative procedure performed during the reoperation (synovectomy was performed or not) were evaluated. Re-recurrent CTS was identified in four out of 15 wrists (27%). The period from first operation to reoperation, which was 3.8 years in the re-recurrence group and eight years in the no re-recurrence group, and the operative procedure had significant differences (synovectomy groups had no re-recurrence vs. no synovectomy groups had 82% re-recurrence). The results of this study suggested that synovectomy would be necessary for recurrent CTS in HD patients.

Introduction: Excision and primary anastomosis (EPA) urethroplasty is the standard treatment for traumatic urethral strictures, but managing them remains challenging for urologists. Identifying factors leading to EPA urethroplasty failure benefits both patients and surgeons. This study aims to analyze risk factors for urethral stricture recurrence after one-year follow-up of EPA urethroplasty.

Background: Earlier identification of high coronary artery disease (CAD) risk individuals may enable more effective prevention strategies. However, existing 10-year risk frameworks are ineffective at earlier identification. We sought to understand how the variable importance of genomic and clinical factors across life stages may significantly improve lifelong CAD event prediction.

Background: Females with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy present at a more advanced stage of the disease and have a higher risk of heart failure and death. The factors behind these differences are unclear. We aimed to investigate sex-related differences in clinical and genetic factors affecting adverse outcomes in the Sarcomeric Human Cardiomyopathy Registry.

: Individuals impacted by adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are at greater risk of developing obesity, however, few studies have prospectively measured ACEs and obesity during childhood. Associations with the adoption of obesogenic behaviours during childhood, which directly contribute to obesity are also understudied.: To examine associations between individual and cumulative ACEs, obesity, and obesogenic behaviours during childhood.

Avascular necrosis (AVN) is a known complication during the management of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). It has the potential to alter the growth of the head or acetabulum and prevent the best outcomes. While past literature has evaluated the risks of AVN and strategies to avoid it, studies on the impact of AVN on the outcomes are scarce.
