Cervical cancer (CC) is the fourth most common type of gynecological malignancy affecting females worldwide. Most CC cases are linked to infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV). There has been a significant decrease in the incidence and...
The importance and value of real-world data in healthcare cannot be overstated because it offers a valuable source of insights into patient experiences. Traditional patient-reported experience and outcomes measures (PREMs/PROMs) often fall short in a...
Background/Objectives: Musculoskeletal disorders and their surgical treatment significantly affect global disability, healthcare utilization, and costs. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a key enabler of data-driven musculoskeletal care. Their applicat...
Background/Objectives: Uptake of remote cochlear implant (CI) services is feasible in clinical studies, but implementation into regular clinical practice is limited. Effective implementation requires demonstration of at least equivalent outcomes to i...
Background/Objectives: In the past few years increasing attention has been given to the application of dry needling (DN) for spasticity in stroke survivors. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanisms of this technique have not yet been confirmed. The ai...
Background/Objectives: Children undergoing cancer treatment experience multiple distressing symptoms that often go undetected in routine care. This study evaluated the potential impact of integrating the Symptom Screening in Pediatrics Tool (SSPedi)...
Introduction: Although Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful procedure, a significant number of patients are still unsatisfied, reporting instability at the mid-flexion range (Mid-Flexion Instability-MFI). To avoid this complication, many inn...
Background and Objectives: The wrist is one of the most common sites of rheumatic disease. Based on the graded deformities of Larsen et al., surgery has been adapted to minimize harm while maximizing benefit to the individual. This study aims to surv...
Hip arthroplasty is a very effective medical procedure. The optimal positioning of the components and the functioning of the endoprosthesis are influenced, among other things, by the mobility and balance of the spine. The aim of the study was to anal...
Background/Objectives: Chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) is a heterogeneous immune-mediated condition involving multiple inflammatory pathways. The clinical utility of platelet-activating factor (PAF) as a biomarker in CSU remains insufficiently de...
Background: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) in the elderly are common. Recently, the efficacy of operative treatment of displaced DRFs in patients above 65 years of age has been questioned and it has been suggested that non-operative treatment should...
In the present era of evolving gene-based therapies for inherited retinal dystrophies (IRDs), it has become increasingly important to verify the genotype in every case, to identify all subjects eligible for treatment. Moreover, combined insight conce...
Background/Objectives: SPINEHealthie is a smartphone-based application enabling remote patient monitoring, care delivery and standardized collection of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). This registry-based analysis evaluates patient satisfac...
Background/Objectives: Preinduction of labor is commonly performed in women with unfavorable cervical conditions at term. Oral misoprostol is increasingly used due to its ease of administration and effectiveness; however, optimal dosing regimens rema...
Background: Lower limb (LL) and low back Radicular Syndromes (RSs) may result from discopathy of the lumbo-sacral spine. Consistent benefits are reported from Epidural Adhesiolysis (EA). Aim: To evaluate clinical and European Quality of Life items (E...
Despite numerous efforts aiming to characterise glioblastoma pathology (GBM) and discover new therapeutic strategies, GBM remains one of the most challenging tumours to treat. Here we propose the optimisation of in vitro culturing of GBM patient-deri...
Objectives: Three-dimensional (3D) technology is increasingly applied in the surgical treatment of distal radial fractures and may optimize surgical planning, improve fracture reduction, facilitate implant and screw positioning, and thus prevent surg...
