Patients with STUMP warrant a pathological review process in centers with experience. Fertility-preservation is worth attempting, but young patients must be followed-up closely. Ki-67 might be a valuable marker predicting recurrence. Patients with STUMP warrant a pathological review process in centers with experience.

This study aimed to examine the factors that affect anxiety levels of parents whose children were admitted to the emergency department with minor head trauma. In this prospective study, the parents of 663 consecutive pediatric patients were invited to answer a questionnaire. Parents of 600 children participated in the study. The parents who believed they were provided sufficient information and who were satisfied with the service received had significantly more improvement in anxiety-related questions. Cranial X-ray assessment had a significantly positive impact on the anxiety of the parents, whereas cranial computed tomography and neurosurgery consultation did not. In assessing pediatric minor head trauma, cranial computed tomography imaging and neurosurgery consultation should not be expected to relieve the anxiety of the parents. However, adequately informing them and providing satisfaction are the factors that could lead to improvement. Current research largely tends to ignore the drug-testing model that was developed in the "Second World" as an explicit alternative to the randomized controlled trial. This system can be described as "socialist pharmapolitics," accounting for the specific features of state socialism that influenced the development and testing of experimental drugs. The clinical trials model employed in the "Second World" was heavily influenced by the Soviet Union, which was by far the most influential player in the socialist bloc during the Cold War. Based on extensive archival research, this article presents an empirical case of a late Soviet clinical trial as a pragmatic alternative to the randomized controlled trial model. It accounts for the divergences between the official model prescribed by the Soviet authorities and the messy realities of healthcare practice. It further outlines different factors that ultimately shaped how clinical trials were organized in Soviet institutions "on the ground." Accordingly, this articl model and the clinical realities on the ground. This systematic review aimed to determine whether coronal angular corrections correlate with patient reported outcomes following valgus-producing high tibial osteotomy (HTO). Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science were systematically searched. Studies that reported hip-knee-ankle angles (HKA) or femorotibial angles (FTA), and the Oxford Knee Score (OKS), visual analogue scale (VAS) score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), or EQ-5D before and after valgus-producing HTO were eligible. Correlation analyses were performed where appropriate to investigate the relationships between variables. PROSPERO ID CRD42019135467. This study included 39 articles including 50 cohorts. VAS was reported in 22 studies, OKS in 9, KOOS in 12 and EQ-5D in 2. The HKA angle was corrected from 7.1° ± 1.7° varus to 2.3° ± 1.7° valgus at final follow-up. The FTA changed from 3.0° ± 2.0° varus to 7.7° ± 1.3° valgus. Outcome scores improved with clinical and statistical significance postoperatively. Spearman correlations for nonparametric data revealed greater changes in knee alignment were moderately associated with larger improvements in VAS scores ( = 0.50). Furthermore, those who experienced greater changes in alignment showed larger improvements in the KOOS Activity and Quality of Life domains (
