Background: The purpose of this study was to compare 2-year BMI changes between patients undergoing simultaneous bilateral total knee arthroplasty (TKA), staged bilateral TKA, and unilateral TKA. We also sought to determine the predictors of weight change and whether clinically meaningful weight changes affected outcomes.
Patients And Methods: This retrospective, single-institution study included 202 Chinese patients who received simultaneously bilateral TKA, staged bilateral TKA, or unilateral TKA from 2008 to 2015. There were 49 simultaneous bilateral TKAs, 52 staged bilateral TKAs, and a matched 101 unilateral TKAs.
Results: 66.8% (135/202) of patients lost weight after TKA surgery. However, 20.7% (42/202) of patients experienced clinically meaningful weight loss (a BMI decrease of more than 5%). Paired t test showed that 2-year BMI was significantly lower than preoperative BMI (p < 0.001). Weight loss was significantly different between the surgical strategy (p < 0.001). Preoperative BMI and age were predictive of clinically significant weight loss or gain (p < 0.05). Multiple linear regression showed that post-operative weight loss was associated with better Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index and SF-36 scores (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Patients after TKA experience weight loss. Age and preoperative BMI predict clinically meaningful weight change. Simultaneous bilateral TKA is associated with higher likelihood of weight loss. Clinically meaningful weight loss experiences better patient-reported outcomes.

Background: Women with ovarian cancer (OC) and a pathogenic variant in the BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at increased risk of developing breast cancer (BC). Evidence for long term outcomes in these patients who undergo bilateral risk reduction mastectomy (RRM) after ovarian cancer is sparse. The aim of this study was to analyse the long-term breast cancer-related outcomes of patients who have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and found to have BRCA1 or 2 pathogenic variants.

Pituitary macroadenomas are benign neoplasms that can cause a range of symptoms due to a mass effect on surrounding structures. This case report describes a 51-year-old male presenting with progressive bilateral hearing impairment and significant deterioration in speech discrimination over several years. Examination revealed normal tympanic membranes and no neurological deficits, while pure tone audiometry indicated mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss.

A rare type of localized gigantism known as macrodystrophia lipomatosa is characterized by a disproportionate increase in fibroadipose tissues and a gradual overgrowth of all mesenchymal elements. The distribution in the lower extremities' plantar nerves and the upper extremity's median nerve is most commonly observed. This abnormality is congenital and typically manifests at birth or during the neonatal stage.

Background: Three-dimensional MR fingerprinting (3D-MRF) has been increasingly used to assess cartilage degeneration, particularly in the knee joint, by looking into multiple relaxation parameters. A comparable 3D-MRF approach can be adapted to assess cartilage degeneration for the hip joint, with changes to accommodate specific challenges of hip joint imaging.
Purpose: To demonstrate the feasibility and repeatability of 3D-MRF in the bilateral hip jointly we map proton density (PD), T, T, T, and ∆B in clinically feasible scan times.
