Comparison of simple bedside tests for probable sarcopenia and their association with postoperative recovery after lumbar disc herniation surgery: a pilot study

This pilot study demonstrates that probable sarcopenia identified by simple bedside tests, particularly the five-time sit-to-stand test, independently predicts prolonged hospital stays and delayed ambulation after lumbar disc herniation surgery, while the low agreement between different screening tools suggests they should be used complementarily rather than interchangeably for preoperative risk assessment.

Radioactive Iodine Therapy Dosimetry for a Case of Functioning Follicular Thyroid Carcinoma Metastases

This case report demonstrates that using Iodine-124 PET/CT dosimetry to guide the administration of Radioactive Iodine-131 therapy enables the safe delivery of a high radiation dose to functioning follicular thyroid carcinoma metastases, resulting in a significant reduction in serum thyroglobulin and effective disease management with minimal toxicity.

A preliminary nomogram for MMSE-defined delayed neurocognitive recovery in older patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery: a single-center prospective observational study

This single-center prospective study identified age, ASA physical status, Mini-Cog score, and anxiety levels as independent predictors to develop a preliminary nomogram for stratifying the risk of delayed neurocognitive recovery in older non-cardiac surgery patients, though the model requires external validation before clinical application due to modest performance in internal validation.

Factors Affecting Long-Term Patient-Reported Outcomes After Periacetabular Osteotomy

This study demonstrates that long-term patient satisfaction and pain relief following periacetabular osteotomy for developmental dysplasia of the hip are primarily predicted by preoperative cartilage degeneration (measured by acetabular T2 values) and the combined angle reflecting anterior femoral coverage, rather than by labral tears or body mass index.

Lung Ultrasound in Pediatric ARDS: Associations with Oxygenation Impairment, RALE Score, and ICU Mortality

This prospective study of 42 Vietnamese children with ARDS demonstrates that lung ultrasound scores are strongly associated with oxygenation impairment and correlate with radiographic edema scores, suggesting lung ultrasound is a valuable, radiation-free bedside tool for monitoring pediatric ARDS, although pre-existing comorbidities were the sole predictor of ICU mortality.
