Objective: To retrospectively study medium-term follow-up outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Methods: From January 2000 to December 2008, 67 patients (88 hip joints) with AS were treated with all ceramic interface THA. And 55 patients (74 hips) were finally followed up. Among them, there were 30 males and 25 females, with an average age of 32.6 (ranged 19 to 58) years old. Sixty-one hips were treated with biological prosthesis and 13 hips were treated with hybrid prosthesis. Fifty-five patients were followed up at least 5 years, with an average of (75.2 +/- 8.6) months. Clinical symptoms and radiography information were evaluated after follow-up.

Results: Harris hip score were significantly improved from 30.8 +/- 7.0 preoperatively to 85.2 +/- 5.5 at the last follow-up (P<0.01). The hip movement range increased from (21.2 +/- 8.5) degrees preoperatively to (142.0 +/- 10.2) degrees postoperatively (P<0.01). The 5-year survival of prosthesis was 95.9%. One patient were renovated because of internal wall broken caused by injury, 1 was renovated for infection, 1 was renovated for fracture arround femoral stem prostheses, and 1 was treated with conservative treatment by dislocation. Three cases with abnormal sound were cured with non-operation. 7 cases with heterotopic ossification were not treated, 2 cases with thigh pain received conservative treatment. Bone dissolve around prosthesis, loose and sink of femur and acetabulum prosthesis were occurred in other cases.

Conclusion: THA for the treatment of AS is a reliable method, which has a satisfied medium-term follow-up outcomes.

Importance: Retrieval strategies for children, adolescents, and young adults with relapsed classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) aim to maintain efficacy while minimizing long-term toxic effects. Children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk, relapsed cHL may benefit from replacing high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant with less intensive involved-site radiotherapy (ISRT).

Objective: To evaluate a risk-stratified, response-adapted, transplant-free approach for treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults with low-risk relapsed cHL with nivolumab plus brentuximab vedotin (BV) followed by BV plus bendamustine for patients with suboptimal response and ISRT (30.

De-Escalation of Nodal Surgery in Clinically Node-Positive Breast Cancer.

JAMA Surg

January 2025

Breast Unit, Department of General Surgery, Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Türkiye.

Importance: Increasing evidence supports the oncologic safety of de-escalating axillary surgery for patients with breast cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC).

Objective: To evaluate the oncologic outcomes of de-escalating axillary surgery among patients with clinically node (cN)-positive breast cancer and patients whose disease became cN negative after NAC (ycN negative).

Design, Setting, And Participants: In the NEOSENTITURK MF-1803 prospective cohort registry trial, patients from 37 centers with cT1-4N1-3M0 disease treated with sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) or targeted axillary dissection (TAD) alone or with ypN-negative or ypN-positive disease after NAC were recruited between February 15, 2019, and January 1, 2023, and evaluated.

Importance: Caries is the most common chronic childhood disease, with substantial health disparities.

Objective: To test whether parent-targeted oral health text (OHT) messages outperform child wellness text (CWT) messages on pediatric caries increment and oral health behaviors among underserved children attending pediatric well-child visits.

Design, Setting, And Participants: The parallel randomized clinical trial, Interactive Parent-Targeted Text Messaging in Pediatric Clinics to Reduce Caries Among Urban Children (iSmile), included participants who were recruited during pediatric medical clinic visits at 4 sites in Boston, Massachusetts, that serve low-income and racially and ethnically diverse (herein, underserved) populations.
