Article Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate patient-reported outcomes with a validated patient questionnaire following topography-guided LASIK (TG-LASIK).
Methods: Patients undergoing TG-LASIK using Phorcides analytic software were prospectively enrolled to receive an adapted Patient-Reported Outcomes with LASIK Symptoms and Satisfaction (PROWL) questionnaire before and 26-weeks after treatment. The main study outcome was the change in the Global Vision Satisfaction Index from the PROWL questionnaire.
Results: Forty-six patients underwent treatment and completed the modified PROWL questionnaire before and 26-weeks after TG-LASIK. The Global Vision Satisfaction Index from the modified PROWL questionnaire improved from 4.07 (3.87-4.26) to 5.00 (4.81-5.19) after the TG-LASIK treatment (p < 0.0001). The study population's binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/16, 20/12.5, and 20/10 or better in 100%, 87.0%, and 15.2% at 26 weeks post TG-LASIK, respectively.
Conclusion: Patient satisfaction as assessed with the modified PROWL questionnaire is very high after undergoing TG-LASIK using Phorcides analytic software. Patient-reported outcomes add another dimension when assessing treatment efficacy beyond change in visual acuity and corneal architecture, and specialists may consider incorporating such assessments into the consenting process and patient education at large.

Background: Patients with large pannus and ventral hernias may benefit from undergoing panniculectomy performed concurrently with open ventral hernia repair (VHR-PAN). However, there has been concerns related to increase surgical site occurrences when adding a panniculectomy. This study aims to evaluate outcomes of open VHR with and without panniculectomy using a large hernia specific database.

Cochrane Database Syst Rev
January 2025
Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, Amsterdam UMC, location University of Amsterdam, Meibergdreef 9, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
Background: Calf muscle weakness is a common symptom in slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders that lead to walking problems like instability and increased walking effort. The mainstay of treatment to improve walking in this population is the provision of ankle-foot-orthoses (AFOs). Since we are not aware of an up-to-date and complete overview of the effects of AFOs used for calf muscle weakness in slowly progressive neuromuscular disorders, we reviewed the evidence for the effectiveness of AFOs to improve walking in this patient group, in order to support clinical decision-making.
