This UK-based qualitative study explored multiparous women's experiences of being "older" mothers. Respondents were "renewed mothers" who had a child/children relatively early in their reproductive careers and then again after 35 years of age. Key themes arising from the empirical data were: instrumental role of male partners in post-35 mothering, purported "renewal" of self in the face of menopause/diminution of mothering, caring for teenagers and babies/toddlers simultaneously, and subjection to criticisms of "wrong-aged" motherhood. Experiences of "renewed" "older" mothers suggest significant hard work is necessitated both in terms of mothering and presentation of self as an appropriate mother.

Management of Horizontal Cleavage Meniscus Tears.
Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med

Department of Orthopaedics, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, 2835 Fred Taylor Dr. Suite 2200, Columbus, OH, 43202, USA.
Purpose Of Review: The management of horizontal cleavage meniscus tears (HCT) has evolved in recent years. Historically, HCTs have been treated with partial meniscectomy, but multiple studies have shown the long-term risks of development of arthritic changes in the knee following meniscectomy. These findings have renewed interest in meniscal preservation whenever possible, even in older patients not previously considered for meniscus repair.

Background: The Norwegian trauma plan was established in 2007 and renewed in 2017 defining national trauma team activation (TTA) criteria. Norwegian studies validating the performance of previous TTA protocols have found overtriage and undertriage to be out of line with the quality indicators set in the national trauma plan, but studies have not yet been published validating the new TTA protocol.
Material And Method: This was a registry study of a prospectively maintained database in the period from 01/01/2018 to 12/31/2020.

Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated the combined prognostic value of calf circumference (CC) and serum albumin to predict mortality in cancer cachexia patients aged 65 and older, utilizing a new index called the calf circumference-albumin (CCA) index.
- - Involving 5322 older patients, results showed that the CCA index was more effective at predicting mortality compared to using CC or albumin alone, with better differentiating power indicated by a C index of 0.639.
- - The CCA index, especially in patients with higher scores, significantly correlated with lower mortality rates, suggesting its potential for improved clinical management of older cancer patients experiencing cachexia.
Temporal trends in pediatric cancer mortality: rare cancers lag behind more common cancers.
Pediatr Hematol Oncol

University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
Temporal trends demonstrate improved survival for many types of common pediatric cancer. Studies have not examined improvement in very rare pediatric cancers or compared these improvements to more common cancers. In this cohort study of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry, we examined patients from 1975 to 2016 who were 0-19 years of age at the time of diagnosis.
