Article Abstract
Study Design: This study was a retrospective cohort analysis.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the concurrent validity of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) domain as compared with legacy measures of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) among patients undergoing anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).
Summary Of Background Data: As PROMIS becomes increasingly utilized, it is important to assess its validity among procedure-specific populations.
Methods: Patients undergoing a primary, 1-3 level ACDF were retrospectively identified from a prospectively maintained surgical registry. PROMIS PF and legacy PRO scores were obtained at preoperative, 6-week, 12-week, and 6-month postoperative visits. Legacy PROs included Neck Disability Index (NDI), Short Form-12 (SF-12) physical composite, Visual Analog Scale (VAS) neck pain, and VAS arm pain. Postoperative improvements in PROs were assessed using paired t tests. Correlations between PROMIS and legacy PROs were tested using Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: A total of 57 ACDF patients were analyzed. The mean preoperative PROMIS PF was 40.0±6.4. PROMIS PF significantly improved at 12-week and 6-month follow-up. NDI, VAS neck pain, and VAS arm pain scores demonstrated significant improvement at all postoperative time points. SF-12 scores only exhibited significant improvement at the 6-month follow-up visit. Significant correlations between PROMIS PF, NDI, and SF-12 were identified at all preoperative and postoperative time points. PROMIS PF exhibited strong correlations with VAS neck pain at postoperative time points, and a moderate correlation preoperatively.
Conclusions: Patients undergoing a primary 1-3 level ACDF experience significant improvements in PROMIS PF scores at 12-week and 6-month follow-up. Furthermore, PROMIS PF exhibits strong correlations to NDI and SF-12 at all preoperative and postoperative time points. These results suggest that PROMIS PF accurately measures PF and may be used in lieu of legacy PF instruments for patients undergoing ACDF.

Purpose: To compare functional deficits associated to surgery with those caused by the growth of the head and neck paragangliomas (HNPGLs).
Methods: 72 patients with HNPGLs were included. Patients were divided in group A (49 patients undergoing surgery) and group B (23 patients following a wait and see approach).

The established protocol for the management of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has traditionally involved the administration of induction chemotherapy, followed by consolidation chemotherapy, and subsequent allogeneic stem cell transplantation for eligible patients. However, the prognosis for individuals with relapsed and refractory AML remains unfavorable. In response to the necessity for more efficacious therapeutic modalities, targeted immunotherapy has emerged as a promising advancement in AML treatment.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.

Introduction: Prostate cancer (PCa) is the commonest urologic cancer worldwide and the leading cause of male cancer deaths in Nigeria. In Nigeria, orchidectomy remains the primary androgen deprivation therapy. Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is the active prostatic androgen, but its relationship with PCa severity has not been extensively studied in Africa.

Background: Malnutrition is common with esophagogastric cancers and is associated with negative outcomes. We aimed to evaluate if immunonutrition during neoadjuvant treatment improves patient's health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and reduces postoperative morbidity and toxicities during neoadjuvant treatment.
Methods: A multicenter double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) was undertaken.
