Purpose: The transinguinal preperitoneal (TIPP) technique is an open approach to groin hernia repair with posteriorly positioned mesh supposed to reduce recurrence rates. However, transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal (TEP) techniques have similar mesh positioning with the advantages of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Hence, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing TIPP and MIS for groin hernia repair.
Source: Cochrane, Embase, Scopus, Scielo, and PubMed were systematically searched for studies comparing TIPP and MIS techniques for groin hernia repair. Outcomes assessed were recurrence, chronic pain, surgical site infection (SSI), seroma, and hematoma. We performed a subgroup analysis of TAPP and TEP techniques separately. Statistical analysis was performed with R Studio.
Principal Findings: 81 studies were screened and 19 were thoroughly reviewed. Six studies were included, of which two compared TIPP with TEP technique, two compared TIPP with TAPP, and two compared TIPP with both TEP and TAPP techniques. We found lower recurrence rates for the TEP technique compared to TIPP (0.38% versus 1.19%; RR 2.68; 95% CI 1.01 to 7.11; P = 0.04). Also, we found lower seroma rates for TIPP group on the overall analysis (RR 0.21; P = 0.002). We did not find statistically significant differences regarding overall recurrence (RR 1.6; P = 0.19), chronic pain (RR 1.53; P = 0.2), SSI (RR 2.51; P = 0.47), and hematoma (RR 1.29; P = 0.76) between MIS and TIPP. No statistically significant differences were found in the subgroup analysis of TAPP technique for all the outcomes.
Conclusion: Our systematic review and meta-analysis found no differences between TIPP and MIS approaches in the overall analysis of recurrence, SSI, and chronic pain rates. Further research is needed to analyze individual techniques and draw a more precise conclusion on this subject.

Evaluation of sleep health in children with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
November 2024
Division of Pediatric Endocrinology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates sleep health in children and adolescents with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) using wrist actigraphy and sleep questionnaires.
- It found that these children had poorer sleep duration, efficiency, and more awakenings compared to healthy peers, particularly related to hydrocortisone medication timing.
- The results indicate that sleep issues are significant for children with CAH, highlighting the need for attention in clinical practice and further research.

Department of Psychiatry, The Zucker Hillside Hospital, Northwell Health, Glen Oaks, 11004 NY, United States.
Background And Hypothesis: Duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) has been linked to worse mental health outcomes in psychotic disorders. We meta-analytically studied the relationship between "long" vs. "short" DUP and mental health outcomes.

Objective: Winter birth has consistently been identified as a risk factor for schizophrenia. This study aimed to determine whether individuals born during this season are also at higher risk for early psychosis and whether this is associated with distinct functional and clinical outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a prospective study on 222 patients during their early phase of psychosis in Switzerland, nested in the Treatment and Early Intervention in Psychosis (TIPP) cohort.

May 2024
General Psychiatry Service, Treatment and Early Intervention in Psychosis Program (TIPP-Lausanne), Lausanne University Hospital and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland.
Aim: Considering the negative impact of long duration of untreated psychosis (DUP) on outcome, its reduction has become one of the aims of early intervention programmes. The TIPP programme (Treatment and early Intervention in Psychosis Program) was implemented in 2004 in Lausanne and hoped to reduce DUP, without any specific campaign in this regard, through the provision of accessible and specialized treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the evolution of patients' DUP over time and the characteristics of patients with extreme DUP.
