Background: A pre-existing mood and anxiety disorder (MAD) is often present in patients with rotator cuff pathology, but its presumed negative effect on the outcomes has not been demonstrated.
Aim Of Study And Hypothesis: The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how a history of MAD affects the clinical outcomes 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The secondary objectives were to evaluate how a history of MAD affects tendon healing, analgesic consumption and the occurrence of complications.
Materials And Methods: The study population consisted of 219 patients (mean age 54.5±6.6 years) who underwent arthroscopic repair for a distal supraspinatus tendon tear, with 17% (38/219) presenting an history of MAD (depression, unspecified mood disorder, anxiety, and bipolar disorder). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, the joint range of motion, Constant score, analgesic consumption, occurrence of complications during the first postoperative year and tendon healing at 1 year (MRI or CT arthrography) were compared between the two groups (with or without MAD).
Results: The Constant score was lower preoperatively in patients with history of MAD (-4 points, p=.04) but there were no significant differences between the two groups at the various postoperative follow-up time points (p>.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients in their analgesic consumption at the various postoperative time points (p>.05), tendon healing at 1 year (p=.17) or the occurrence of postoperative complications (p=.59).
Discussion/conclusion: Pre-existing MAD had no effect on the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic RCR at 1 year and no effect on tendon healing, analgesic consumption or the occurrence of complications in our study population.
Level Of Evidence: III; retrospective case-control study.

Mitral valve prolapse in sudden cardiac arrest survivors - coincidence or causal relationship?
Heart Rhythm
January 2025
Department of Coronary Artery Disease and Cardiac Rehabilitation, National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) risk stratification in patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may be complicated by other potential causes of arrhythmia.
Objectives: We aimed to characterize SCA survivors with isolated (iMVP) and non-isolated MVP (non-iMVP) and to assess their long-term follow-up.
Methods: This ambispective study included 75 patients with MVP who experienced SCA and were treated in our center between 2009-2024.
Woman in the brain, or the fraught relationship between feminism and mental health.

This article explores the complicated relationship between feminism and women's mental health. I discuss the differences and convergences between neurodiversity and mental health and how feminist theory has approached these topics. While contrasting the pathologisation that mental health disciplines can apply to women, feminism has often reduced mental health conditions to mere manifestations of patriarchy.

Article Synopsis
- This study compares the Artec Leo hand-held scanner and the iPad Pro for 3D body surface scanning, focusing on capturing data related to 'dropped head syndrome' in cervical and craniofacial areas.
- Eighteen volunteers were tested multiple times with both devices, measuring surface area, scanning time, and participant comfort to assess precision, accuracy, and reliability through various metrics.
- Results showed no significant differences in overall scanning precision or time, with both devices achieving high accuracy levels under 5%, but the iPad Pro was noted as a effective alternative for clinical use in head and neck assessments.
A Rapid Cognitive and Motor Decline: A Case of Misdiagnosed Sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that leads to rapid cognitive decline, dementia, and neurological deterioration. CJD has several forms, including sporadic CJD (sCJD), which accounts for most cases, and variant CJD (vCJD), linked to exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or mad cow disease). The disease is caused by abnormal prion proteins, which damage the brain and lead to death.

We evaluated the burden of MAD, mitral valve prolapse (MVP), and mitral regurgitation (MR) by heritable thoracic aortic disease gene in a cross-sectional analysis of 2014-2023 data in the Montalcino Aortic Consortium registry.
Methods And Results: MAD was determined by direct measurement of echocardiographic images.
