Purpose: The decision to resurface the patella during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains controversial. This prospective cohort study aimed to evaluate the outcome and survivorship of the native patella in computer-assisted TKA (CAS TKA) implanted for primary knee osteoarthritis, and to determine the predictive factors of secondary patellar resurfacing (SPR).
Methods: A prospective cohort of 273 cementless ultra-congruent mobile-bearing CAS TKA implanted without patellar resurfacing was included in our total joint registry. Patients were evaluated with the International Knee Society (IKS) and Hospital for Special Surgery Patellar (HSSP) scores. Radiographic evaluation was focused on the patellofemoral (PF) compartment to assess: the patellar dysplasia (Wiberg classification), PF osteoarthritis (Iwano classification), femoral trochlear dysplasia (femoral sulcus angle), patellar maltracking (patellar tilt and lateralization), and patella height (Blackburne-Peel ratio).
Results: At a six-year median follow-up, the CAS TKA survivorship using SPR as end-point was 95% (range, 91-99%). The IKS and HSSP improved significantly after SPR (p = 0.001 and 0.004, respectively). No significant difference in the IKS and HSSP was detected between TKA with native patella and SPR-TKA at latest follow-up. Importantly, four pre-operative radiographic PF parameters were significantly associated with SPR: higher stages of patellar dysplasia and PF osteoarthritis, and higher sulcus angle and patellar lateralization (hazard ratios = 5.1 to 11.6, p = 0.009 to 0.04).
Conclusion: When preserving the native patella, surgeons should be aware of pre-operative PF radiographic parameters that could influence the outcome and survivorship of CAS TKA leading to SPR. Particularly, evidence of PF dysplasia, osteoarthritis and maltracking should be determined pre-operatively to resurface the patella at the time of TKA.
Level Of Evidence: Therapeutic Level II (prospective cohort study).

Introduction: We aimed to present the changes that may occur in pulmonary functions in children who experienced more severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during long-term follow-up.
Methodology: A prospective longitudinal observational cohort study was conducted with 34 pediatric patients (7-18 years) who were hospitalized with COVID-19 infection (moderate n = 25, severe n = 9), and followed up at our Pediatric Infection Outpatient Clinic for approximately two years. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were performed using spirometry.

Background: Stroke has emerged as an escalating public health challenge among middle-aged and older individuals in China, closely linked to glycolipid metabolic abnormalities. The Hemoglobin A1c/High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol (HbA1c/HDL-C) ratio, an integrated marker of glycolipid homeostasis, may serve as a novel predictor of stroke risk.
Methods: Our investigation utilized data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study cohort (2011-2018).

School of Nursing, Seirei Christopher University, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, Japan.
Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can be used in a variety of clinical settings and is a safe and powerful tool for ultrasound-trained healthcare providers, such as physicians and nurses; however, the effectiveness of ultrasound education for nursing students remains unclear. This prospective cohort study aimed to examine the sustained educational impact of bladder ultrasound simulation among nursing students.
Methods: To determine whether bladder POCUS simulation exercises sustainably improve the clinical proficiency regarding ultrasound examinations among nursing students, evaluations were conducted before and after the exercise and were compared with those after the 1-month follow-up exercise.
Warrick score in rheumatoid-arthritis interstitial lung disease: a promising tool for assessing the extent and progression of lung involvement.

Background: The clinical manifestations and course of rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) exhibits considerable heterogeneity. In this study, we aimed to explore radiographic progression over a defined period, employing the Warrick score as a semi-quantitative measure in early RA-ILD, and to assess the associated risk factors for progression.
Methods: RA-ILD patients underwent consecutive Warrick scoring based on initial high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) at diagnosis and the first follow-up.
