This is the first reported case of such tumors with an adipocytic component.While most ovarian follicle cysts are less then 8 cm in greatest dimension, much larger follicle cysts (up to 18.5 cm) have been reported. To our knowledge, the FOXL2 mutation status of such cases has not been documented in the literature. Here, we report the features of a 14 cm ovarian cyst with no FOXL2 mutation detected by targeted next-generation sequencing. While adult granulosa cell tumor was the chief entity in our differential diagnosis, the absence of convincing nuclear grooves, lack of architectural variability, presence of a theca layer, and absence of FOXL2 mutation were consistent with a diagnosis of ovarian follicle cyst.

Although multiple studies have investigated risk factors for symptomatic adjacent segment disease (ASD) after lumbar fusion, their findings were diverse and inconsistent. This review aimed to summarize risk factors for ASD in order to guide the management of ASD and future research.

Six electronic databases were systematically searched from inception to December 2019. Two reviewers independently screened titles, abstracts, and full-text articles to identify studies investigating risk factors for ASD after lumbar fusion in humans. The methodological quality of the included studies and the strength of evidence regarding risk factors were evaluated.

Sixteen studies involving 3,553 patients were included. Meta-analyses revealed that high body mass index, facet joint violation, anterior shift of the preoperative and postoperative lumbosacral sagittal plumb line, decreased preoperative and postoperative lumbar lordosis, preoperative adjacent disc degeneration, decreased preoperative adjacent disc height, increased postoperative lumbopelvic mismatch, postoperative pelvic incidence, and postoperative pelvic tilt were significantly related to ASD.

This meta-analysis addressed the limitations of prior reviews and summarized evidence with regard to risk factors for ASD following lumbar fusion. Future prospective studies should investigate whether modification of these risk factors can reduce the ASD development.

Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) has become increasingly implemented to reduce costs, to increase efficiency, and to optimize patient outcomes after a surgical procedure. This study aimed to systematically review the effect of ERAS after primary elective total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) on hospital length of stay, total procedure-related morbidity, and readmission.

A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and with guidance from the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions. MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases were searched from inception (1946 for MEDLINE and 1974 for Embase; Cochrane is a composite of multiple databases and thus does not report a standard inception date) until January 15, 2020. Prospective nonrandomized cohort studies and randomized controlled trials comparing adult patients undergoing elective primary THA or TKA with ERAS or traditional ates.

ERAS likely reduced the length of stay after primary elective THA and TKA, with a more pronounced effect in selected healthier patient populations. We found minimal to no impact on perioperative morbidity or readmission. The quality of existing evidence was limited because of study heterogeneity and a significant risk of bias. Further high-quality research is needed to definitively assess the impact of ERAS on total joint arthroplasty.

Successful surgical management of pelvic ring and acetabular fractures requires technical expertise to achieve an accurate reduction and stable fixation. The use of 3-dimensional (3D) intraoperative imaging (3DIOI) as an assessment tool has led to improved reduction and placement of implants. The purpose of this study was to assess the utility of using 3DIOI in the management of acetabular and pelvic fractures on the basis of outcomes reported in the literature.

A literature search was performed using PubMed, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), and Google Scholar using key terms. A network meta-analysis conducted using the frequentist approach allowed for statistical analysis of reported outcomes regarding screw position (in mm), fracture reduction (in mm), and complications.

A total of 9 studies were included in this analysis. When compared with conventional radiography, the mean radiation dose (in cGy·cm2) was significantly higher in 3DIOI (mean difference, 82.72; 95% confidence intervscription of levels of evidence.

An elderly, polytrauma patient receiving vitamin K antagonist (VKA) for atrial fibrillation required immediate surgery for open distal tibial fracture. As the initial reversal with vitamin K and fresh frozen plasma by the trauma team was ineffective, the "Bleeding Team" was convened and administrated the appropriate four-factor prothrombin complex regimen, reversing the VKA in a timely manner. click here Surgery was performed under peripheral nerve blockade subsequently. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful.

The individualized approach and the multidisciplinary experts' team guidance is of outmost importance in patients who are treated with anticoagulants and present for nonelective surgery.

Home health care (HHC) is a leading form of home and community-based services for persons with dementia (PWD). Nurses are the primary providers of HHC; however, little is known of nursing care delivery and quality.

The objective of this study was to examine the association between continuity of nursing care in HHC and rehospitalization among PWD.

This is a retrospective cohort study using multiple years (2010-2015) of HHC assessment, administrative, and human resources data from a large urban not-for-profit home health agency.

This study included 23,886 PWD receiving HHC following a hospitalization.

Continuity of nursing care was calculated using the Bice and Boxerman method, which considered the number of total visits, nurses, and visits from each nurse during an HHC episode. The outcome was all-cause rehospitalization during HHC. Risk-adjusted logistic regression was used for analysis.

Approximately 24% of PWD were rehospitalized. The mean continuity of nursing care score was 0.56 (SD=0.33). Eight percent of PWD received each nursing visit from a different nurse (no continuity), and 26% received all visits from one nurse during an HHC episode (full continuity).
