Increased survival of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia has created a unique cohort of children, adolescent, and adult survivors with complex medical and surgical needs. Disease-specific morbidities offer the opportunity for multiple disciplines to unite together to provide long-term comprehensive follow-up, as well as an opportunity for research regarding late outcomes. These children can exhibit impaired pulmonary function, altered neurodevelopmental outcomes, nutritional insufficiency, musculoskeletal changes, and specialized surgical needs that benefit from regular monitoring and intervention, particularly in patients with increased disease severity. Below we aim to characterize the specific challenges that these survivors face as well as present an algorithm for a multidisciplinary long-term follow-up program.

Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India.
Objectives: To describe the clinical profile and compare the long-term outcomes of patients with S-PAN treated with various treatment regimens at our centre in the last 2 decades.
Methods: Data regarding clinical presentation, treatment allocation, relapses and outcomes of patients fulfilling American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 1990 criteria for PAN in the last 2 decades were recorded from electronic medical records. Relapse-free survival and predictors were analysed using KM survival statistics and regression analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how childhood trauma affects brain connectivity in patients experiencing their first episode of psychosis compared to healthy controls.
- Higher scores of sexual abuse and emotional neglect from childhood trauma were linked to increased functional connectivity between specific brain regions (like the amygdala and prefrontal cortex) in these patients.
- The findings suggest that different types of childhood trauma have distinct long-term effects on brain function, highlighting the complex relationship between trauma and psychosis.

Electronic address:
Background And Aims: The relationship between the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and the incidence of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains insufficiently explored. This investigation aims to elucidate the association between the TyG index and the long-term risk of developing AF.
Methods And Results: This cohort study analyzed data from 409,705 participants sourced from the UK Biobank database.
Ten-Year Implant Survivorship and Performance of Anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty Patients with the Zimmer Biomet Comprehensive® Shoulder System - a Short Stemmed Humeral Implant and Hybrid Glenoid.

University of Maryland Medical System, Department of Orthopaedics, Baltimore, MD, USA. Electronic address:
Background: Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are highly successful procedures for treatment of glenohumeral arthritis to reduce pain, improve range of motion, and overall quality of life. However, the long-term survivorship of the implant systems is less widely documented in the existing literature. The purpose of this study was to establish the long-term patient outcomes and identify factors influencing the postoperative implant survivorship of total anatomic shoulder arthroplasty devices/procedures utilizing the short-stemmed prosthesis and hybrid glenoid components of the Comprehensive Shoulder System (Zimmer Biomet, Warsaw, IN, USA) at an average of ten years.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation, Loyola University Health System, Maywood, IL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Heterotopic ossification (HO) in the elbow leads to limited movement and is often caused by injuries like burns or trauma; this study analyzes the long-term outcomes of 51 elbows treated surgically.
- The study followed 48 patients over an average of 8 years, assessing metrics such as elbow movement arcs, pain levels, and functional performance scores post-surgery.
- Results showed significant improvement in elbow functionality, but patients with type II diabetes experienced the lowest movement range and higher complication rates, indicating potential risk factors for poorer outcomes.
