Study Design: A retrospective study.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the impact of mental status on the clinical outcomes of patients with adult spinal deformity (ASD).

Summary Of Background Data: Limited information is currently available on how preoperative mental status affects postoperative health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with ASD.

Methods: We enrolled 165 patients with ASD who underwent corrective surgery at a single university hospital between March 2010 and September 2015. We compared Scoliosis Research Society-22r (SRS-22r) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scores using various x-ray parameters at these time points: preoperative period and postoperative 2 years. Additionally, to determine the associations between perioperative complications and mental health disorders, we examined these x-ray parameters: lumbar lordosis, thoracic kyphosis, sacral slope, pelvic incidence, pelvic tilt, sagittal vertical axis (SVA), and T1 pelvic angle (TPA).

Results: We found correlations between the preoperative SRS-22r total score and preoperative ODI (r = -0.692, P < 0.01) and postoperative ODI (r = -0.443, P < 0.01). Preoperative SRS-22r mental domain correlated with preoperative ODI (r = -0.561, P ≤ 0.01) and postoperative ODI (r = -0.315, P ≤ 0.01). Perioperative (preoperative and postoperative) SRS-22r mental domain did not correlate with the postoperative x-ray parameters except for SVA and TPA. Postoperative mental health correlated with early infection (P < 0.05), hematoma (P < 0.05), deep vein thrombosis (P < 0.05), and delirium (P < 0.05). Regression analysis revealed that preoperative SRS-22r mental health score correlated with preoperative ODI (P < 0.001) and postoperative ODI (P < 0.001). The regression coefficient number between preoperative SRS-22r mental health score and perioperative (preoperative and postoperative) ODI improved from -17.3 to -10.2 from preoperative to postoperative periods.

Conclusion: Diminished preoperative mental health worsened postoperative HRQOL. Perioperative complications influence postoperative mental status and HRQOL; hence, screening preoperative mental health is important.

Level Of Evidence: 3.

Impairments in mentalizing, the capacity to understand the self and others in terms of intentional mental states, are proposed to play an important role in the emergence of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence. Although mentalizing problems in adults with BPD have been amply demonstrated, research in adolescence lags behind in terms of both the normative development of mentalizing in adolescence and the relation between different dimensions of mentalizing and adolescent BPD. Therefore, the current study investigated developmental trends and sex-related differences related to different mentalizing dimensions and the associations between mentalizing dimensions and BPD features in a large group of adolescents ( = 456, = 15.

Purpose: Physical rehabilitation exercises (PRE) are commonly prescribed early after total hip arthroplasty (THA), but the fundamental effectiveness of PRE has been questioned. As little is known about stakeholder perceptions of PRE, the aim was to explore patients' and physical therapists' perceptions of using PRE in the early period after THA.

Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted.

The Canadian Association of Radiologists (CAR) Central Nervous System Expert Panel is made up of physicians from the disciplines of radiology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, and neurology, a patient advisor, and an epidemiologist/guideline methodologist. After developing a list of 24 clinical/diagnostic scenarios, a rapid scoping review was undertaken to identify systematically produced referral guidelines that provide recommendations for one or more of these clinical/diagnostic scenarios. Recommendations from 55 guidelines and contextualization criteria in the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluations (GRADE) for guidelines framework were used to develop 51 recommendation statements across the 24 scenarios.

Background: Precision nutrition-based methods develop tailored interventions and/or recommendations accounting for determinants of intra- and inter-individual variation in response to the same diet, compared to current 'one-size-fits-all' population-level approaches. Determinants may include genetics, current dietary habits and eating patterns, circadian rhythms, health status, gut microbiome, socioeconomic and psychosocial characteristics, and physical activity. ​​​​In this systematic review, we examined the evidence base for the effect of interventions based on precision nutrition approaches on overweight and obesity in children and adolescents to help inform future research and global guidelines.

Objective: The appearance of the SARS-CoV-2 virus led to the adoption of extreme health measures aimed at containing or minimizing the effects of the pandemic it produced. These measures had a significant impact on people's physical and mental health, causing a drastic decrease in the health-related quality of life by losing one of its fundamental pillars, social health. With this study, we aimed to assess the self-perceived health status after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic.
