Background: It is not known how peroneal tendon exploration influences results after modified Broström for lateral ankle instability. We propose peroneal exploration at the time of modified Broström will have similar outcomes as no peroneal exploration.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed of patients undergoing modified Broström with and without peroneal exploration. Foot and Ankle Outcome scores and data regarding military retention were gathered and compared.
Results: Seventeen patients were identified in the modified Broström only cohort and 24 in the peroneal exploration cohort. Patients had mean follow-up of 5 years in both cohorts. The mean FAOS in the modified Broström only cohort was 68 and 72 in the cohort with peroneal exploration (P = .541). When each FAOS subcategory was analyzed, no difference was identified in any subcategory. Eight of 17 patients (47%) in the modified Broström only cohort remained active duty compared with 8 of 24 patients (33%) in the modified Broström with peroneal exploration cohort (P = .518). One patient medically discharged in the modified Broström only cohort versus 6 in peroneal exploration cohort (P = .109). Overall satisfaction with the procedure was 12 of 17 (71%) in the modified Broström only cohort and 19 of 24 (79%) in the peroneal exploration cohort (P = .529).
Conclusions: No significant difference was identified between patients undergoing modified Broström alone or modified Broström with peroneal exploration. There was no significant difference in return to duty, medical discharge or patient satisfaction.
Levels Of Evidence: Level III: retrospective case-control study with prospectively collected data.

Background: The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is an emerging marker of inflammation, and the onset of psoriasis is associated with inflammation. The aim of our study was to investigate the potential impact of SII on the incidence rate of adult psoriasis.
Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study based on the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2011-2014 data sets.

Background: Pain is a major challenge for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with many people suffering chronic pain. Current RA management guidelines focus on assessing and reducing disease activity using disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Consequently, pain care is often suboptimal, with growing evidence that analgesics are widely prescribed to patients with RA, despite potential toxicities and limited evidence for efficacy.

Background: Adipose tissue plays a critical role in the development of metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUO), with distinct adipose depots demonstrating functional differences. This study aimed to investigate the unique characteristics of subcutaneous (SA) and visceral adipose tissue (VA) in MUO.
Methods: Paired omental VA and abdominal SA samples were obtained from four male patients with MUO and subjected to Four-Dimensional Data Independent Acquisition (4D-DIA) proteomic and lysine acetylation (Kac) analyses.

Background: The aim of the SURECAN trial is to evaluate a person-centred intervention, based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT Plus ( +)), for people who have completed treatment for cancer with curative intent, but are experiencing poor quality of life. We present the statistical analysis plan for assessing the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of the intervention in improving quality of life 1 year post randomisation.
Methods And Design: SURECAN is a multi-centre, pragmatic, two-arm, partially clustered randomised controlled superiority trial comparing the effectiveness of ACT + added to usual care with usual aftercare.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced leaders and employees in health care services to take difficult decisions to manage risks associated with employee health and the organizations' functioning. This study aims to identify the changes in employee working routines, job demands, and job resources within Swedish maternal healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these changes affected workload and health.
Methods: Data were derived from the longitudinal COPE Staff study involving midwives and physicians within maternal healthcare.
