Background/objectives: The equitable enrollment of minority participants in synucleinopathy trials is an emerging public health concern. Differing views regarding risk disclosure may influence research involvement in at-risk adults.
Methods: We conducted a brief mailed survey, including questions about trust and hypothetical risk disclosure preferences, to 100 participants in the Healthier Black Elders Center cohort in Detroit, MI and 100 participants in the Claude D. Pepper Older Americans Independence Center Research Participant Program at the University of Michigan.
Results: 125 recipients without a diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disorder returned the survey, 52 (41.6%) of whom identified as being Black or African American. Black respondents reported less trust in medical providers (t=2.02, =0.045) and medical researchers (t=2.52, =0.013) and a greater desire to be informed about the presence of unchangeable risk factors for neurodegenerative disorders (t=2.02, =0.045).
Conclusions: These findings have implications for the recruitment of representative populations in prodromal neurodegenerative research.

The prevalence of incontinence after excisional hemorrhoidectomy and stapled hemorrhoidopexy: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Surgery
January 2025
South Auckland Clinical Campus, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.
Background: Excisional hemorrhoidectomy and stapled hemorrhoidopexy are 2 common procedures for treating symptomatic hemorrhoids. However, concerns persist regarding the risk of postoperative complications and their unclear prevalence in the literature. This systematic review aims to evaluate and compare the prevalence of incontinence after stapled hemorrhoidopexy and excisional hemorrhoidectomy.

Menopause
February 2025
From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas (FCM-UNICAMP), Campinas, São Paulo, Brazil.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the prevalence and predictors of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) in Brazilian women.
Methods: A cross-sectional population-based household survey was conducted among 749 women aged 45 to 60 years. The dependent variable was the presence of GSM, which was assessed using a pretested structured questionnaire.
Lisfranc Fracture-dislocation With Extensor Hallucis Brevis Tendon Interposition: A Case Report.
JBJS Case Connect
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Nemours Children's Health, Wilmington, Delaware.
Case: A 14-year-old adolescent girl sustained a Lisfranc fracture-dislocation with an interposed extensor hallucis brevis (EHB) tendon. Following multiple failed attempts at closed reduction in both the emergency department and the operating room, the patient was treated in a staged manner with temporizing closed reduction and percutaneous pinning in improved alignment, followed by definitive open reduction and internal fixation once soft tissues allowed.
Conclusions: Anatomic reduction and stable fixation of Lisfranc injuries is vital to regain stability and reduce the risk of midfoot arthritis and collapse.
Outcomes of Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy in Ambulatory Patients with Cerebral Palsy and Planovalgus Foot Deformity.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Division of Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery, Severance Children's Hospital, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: To date, no studies have evaluated the longevity of calcaneal lengthening osteotomy (CLO) in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) and pes planovalgus. This study aimed to explore the changes in foot alignment following CLO in patients with CP, utilizing both radiographic evaluations and dynamic foot-pressure assessments.
Methods: A retrospective study of 282 feet in 180 ambulatory patients was performed.
Delayed Surgery Increases the Rate of Infection in Closed Diaphyseal Tibial and Femoral Fractures.
J Bone Joint Surg Am
January 2025
Institute for Global Orthopaedics and Traumatology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, California.
Background: Although delays in musculoskeletal care in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are well documented in the open fracture literature, the impact of surgical delays on closed fractures is not well understood. This study aimed to assess the impact of surgical delay on the risk of infection in closed long-bone fractures treated with intramedullary nailing in LMICs.
Methods: Using the SIGN (Surgical Implant Generation Network) Surgical Database, patients ≥16 years of age who were treated with intramedullary nailing for closed diaphyseal femoral and tibial fractures from January 2018 to December 2021 were identified.
