Introduction: This systematic review aimed to identify and appraise the validity studies of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) reporting the outcomes of combined orthodontic-orthognathic surgery in treating dentofacial deformity.
Methods: The search strategy was conducted using the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) Systematic Review methodology. The following databases were searched for original studies outlining the development and/or validation of PROMs produced to measure the outcomes of combined orthognathic-orthodontic treatment: EMBASE, MEDLINE, PsycInfo and Scopus. Publications were limited to the English language. Eligibility criteria were applied when considering the studies. Primarily, the psychometric properties and quality of orthognathic-specific PROMs were investigated. Screening of eligible studies was conducted independently by 2 reviewers. Assessment of the methodological quality of the studies and data extraction was conducted by 1 reviewer and assisted by a second reviewer. The COSMIN methodology guided data extraction and analysis, which were divided into 3 stages-a synopsis of studies, evaluation of methodological quality, and summary of evidence.
Results: A total of 8695 papers were found; 12 studies met the criteria for inclusion. Regarding the COSMIN Checklist for Assessing Study Qualities, there was evidence that the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire was the most extensively tested orthognathic-specific PROM in the current literature. The reported evidence was incomplete, as not all psychometric properties had been reliably tested.
Conclusions: Clinicians must use validated PROMs when analyzing patient-reported outcomes. The Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire was shown to be the highest quality orthognathic-specific PROM in the literature but requires contemporary evaluation to suitably reflect the COSMIN guidance.

The Third Ward of Orthopaedic Department, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University, 804 Shengli South Street, Hui Autonomous Region, Yinchuan, Ningxia, 750004, People's Republic of China.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of TiRobot-assisted treatment for femoral neck fractures, in comparison to traditional freehand treatment methods. Throughout the research process, we conducted an extensive literature search across numerous databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), CQVIP, and Wanfang. Based on the literature screening criteria, we selected six studies, encompassing 358 cases of femoral neck fracture patients, for this meta-analysis.

Introduction: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (CS) is a rare indolent malignant tumor. High-grade (G3), dedifferentiated (DD), and myxoid (MY) CSs are considered more aggressive subtypes due to their metastatic potential and relatively poor outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate treatment modalities and survival outcomes in patients affected by these rarer CS subtypes.

Athlete Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators Abuse: A Systematic Review.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Background: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are small-molecule compounds that exert agonist and antagonist effects on androgen receptors in a tissue-specific fashion. Because of their performance-enhancing implications, SARMs are increasingly abused by athletes. To date, SARMs have no Food and Drug Administration approved use, and recent case reports associate the use of SARMs with deleterious effects such as drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, and tendon rupture.
