Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer are a vulnerable population with unique needs that are under-recognized and often overlooked by healthcare providers. This review focuses on identifying and meeting some of those needs including adherence to treatment, financial implications, impact on fertility and intimacy, issues with work/school, isolation, challenges with re-entry, and long-term side effects and survivorship.

Survival rates have not improved in adolescents and young adults with cancer at the same rate as in children and older adults (the so called "AYA gap"). Restricted or delayed access to care and inconsistent cancer treatment and follow-up care contribute to this. Importantly, fertility preservation options have broadened and efforts to provide age appropriate counseling prior to treatment have improved. Additionally, AYAs face a variety of psychosocial issues while dealing with a cancer diagnosis during critical developmental years, and yet data pertaining to the successful identifiis group calls for additional study particularly when it comes to barriers to enrollment for AYA-specific research (including clinical trials), recognizing psychosocial needs (both during and after treatment), transition planning for returning to life after cancer, and managing long-term effects of treatment (including neuro cognitive changes). In addition, access to financial resources and appropriate mental health support needs to be improved.Ensuring proper dosage of treatment and repetition over time is a major challenge in neurorehabilitation. However, a requirement of physical distancing to date compromises their achievement. While mostly associated to COVID-19, physical distancing is not only required in a pandemic scenario, but also advised for several clinical conditions (e.g. immunocompromised individuals) or forced for specific social contexts (e.g. people living in remote areas worldwide). All these contexts advocate for the implementation of alternative healthcare models. The objective of this perspective is to highlight the benefits of remote administration of rehabilitative treatment, namely telerehabilitation, in counteracting physical distancing barriers in neurorehabilitation. Sustaining boosters of treatment outcome, such as compliance, sustainability, as well as motivation, telerehabilitation may adapt to multiple neurological conditions, with the further advantage of a high potential for individualization to patient's or pathology's specificities. The effectiveness of telerehabilitation can be potentiated by several technologies available to date virtual reality can recreate realistic environments in which patients may bodily operate, wearable sensors allow to quantitatively monitor the patient's performance, and signal processing may contribute to the prediction of long-term dynamics of patient recovery. Telerehabilitation might spark its advantages far beyond the mere limitation of physical distancing effects, mitigating criticalities of daily neurorehabilitative practice, and thus paving the way to the envision of mixed models of care, where hospital-based procedures are complementarily integrated with telerehabilitative ones.
Ophthalmoscopy is part of the medical curriculum but the teaching of medical contents is often unsatisfactory. No systematic learning of pathologies and their treatment options is possible because appropriate patient populations are often unavailable; instead of that healthy students examine each other. For this reason, we have developed aproject to improve teaching at the medical faculty of the JWG University in Frankfurt/Main, which offers the opportunity for training in ophthalmoscopy using anewly developed online platform (EyesiNet) in addition to simulator training. Defined learning contents are reproducible and made equally available to everyone.

The aim of this study was to evaluate aformat for improving the teaching of direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy for students. Practical exercises on virtual reality-based simulators were intertwined with newly developed theoretical content adapted to the teaching catalog in the online platform EyesiNet.

On the first and last days of the internship, the stupports the learning of the most important disease patterns. Learning contents are made available in areproducible and standardized way for all students. The skills of direct ophthalmoscopy can be learned much faster than those of indirect ophthalmoscopy.

The first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic posed great challenges for teachers and students, as teaching had to take place despite the restriction of classroom teaching. For attendance lessons and events with patient contact alternatives had to be arranged at short notice between mid-March and the beginning of the semester in mid-April.

Description of the concept and implementation in the student teaching at the Department of Ophthalmology of the University Medical Center Mainz in complete digital form in spring 2020.

Lectures, examination course and practical training in ophthalmology take place in the 5th and 6th semester of the study of human medicine. Z-YVAD-FMK nmr The basis of the new concept were the former course curricula. Implemented concepts included acomplete revision and implementation of lectures as video podcasts, examination videos, online examination conferences, interactive patient cases, narrated videos of surgery, anamnesis videos of patients and the design of the virtual patient room, alive online prs of the lectures. We consider a reduction of classroom teaching for parts of the learning objectives that can be represented by such videos to be possibly useful. An independent digital appropriation of such content may enable a more productive learning environment in face-to-face teaching.With the surgical improvement of congenital heart disease, Fontan operation has been applied to many complicated patients in recent years. This is the first report of a child with panhypopituitarism who underwent Fontan operation. A 5-year-old boy was scheduled for Fontan operation. He previously underwent Blalock-Taussig shunt and bidirectional Glenn operations for univentricular heart with double-outlet right ventricle and pulmonary atresia. He was receiving hydrocortisone and 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP) for panhypopituitarism secondary to removal of craniopharyngioma performed at the age of three years. Although urine output and serum sodium concentration were adequately controlled by adjustment of vasopressin infusion rate during surgery, massive pleural effusions and ascites developed postoperatively, which required several days for control by adjusting the dose of oral DDAVP and normalize the serum sodium level. Intraoperative management of Fontan operation for a patient with panhypopituitarism was controllable by appropriate hormone replacement. However, postoperative fluid management was complicated by the clinical features of panhypopituitarism and Fontan physiology.
Although proximal junctional kyphosis (PJK) is common after long spinal fusion, the outcomes of revision surgery for symptomatic PJK are unclear. Our aim was to assess the outcomes of revision surgery for symptomatic PJK in patients with adult spinal deformity and elucidate the incidence and risk factors for recurrent PJK (rePJK).

We evaluated standing radiographs and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients who underwent revision surgery for symptomatic PJK with at least 2-year follow-up. Patients were assigned to the non-rePJK or rePJK group according to PJK recurrence.

Thirty-nine consecutive patients (mean age, 63 ± 11years; 24 women) met the inclusion criteria. RePJK occurred in 12 patients (31%). There were significant differences in the following parameters between groups (non-rePJK vs. rePJK) initial proximal junctional sagittal Cobb angle (PJA) (26.6° vs. 35.6°), thoracic kyphosis (TK) (38.6° vs. 52.8°), and sagittal vertical axis (SVA) (9.3 vs. 15.9cm), and pre- to postoperative SVA decrease (6.1 vs. 12.2cm). Significant risk factors for rePJK were initial PJA > 40°, preoperative TK > 60°, preoperative SVA > 10.0cm, correction of TK > 15°, and correction of SVA > 5.0cm. HRQOL scores improved significantly; however, postoperative SRS-22r activity scores were significantly worse in the rePJK group vs the non-rePJK group.

The incidence of rePJK was 31%. Risk factors for rePJK were large initial PJA, high preoperative TK and SVA, and greater correction of TK and SVA. HRQOL did not differ significantly between patients with vs without rePJK, except immediate postoperative SRS-22r activity scores.

The aim of this study was to investigate the inflammatory infiltrate, osteoclast formation, and expression of MMP-9 during the healing phase following root canal treatment in teeth with apical periodontitis.

Apical periodontitis was induced in dogs teeth, and root canal treatment was performed in a single visit or using calcium hydroxide as intracanal medication. One hundred and eighty days following treatment the presence of inflammation was examined, and the tissues were stained to detect osteoclasts by means of a tartrate resistant alkaline phosphatase (TRAP) assay. Synthesis of MMP-9 was detected using Western blotting and immunohistochemistry.

Teeth with apical periodontitis that had root canal therapy performed in a single visit presented a higher synthesis of MMP-9 compared with root canal treatment using calcium hydroxide. Treatment with calcium hydroxide resulted in a reduced amount of inflammatory cells and MMP-9 positive cells. Osteoclast formation, the number of MMP-9 positive osteoclasts and cementocytes, was reduced following root canal treatment, regardless of the root canal treatment protocol used.

Root canal treatment reduced the amount of inflammatory cells and osteoclasts in periapical area. The use of calcium hydroxide as intracanal medication resulted in a lower synthesis of MMP-9, though the number of osteoclasts and MMP-9 positive osteoclasts were similar between the groups.

Periapical bone repair following root canal treatment is impacted by therapy performed either in single visit or using calcium hydroxide dressing measured by inflammatory cell recruitment, osteoclast formation, and MMP-9 synthesis.

To evaluate the effects of miniplate anchored Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (MAF) and activator treatments in the pharyngeal airway dimensions and hyoid bone position.

Thirty-eight patients with mandibular retrusion who were treated with either MAF or activator were selected retrospectively and compared with an untreated control group. The data of 114 lateral cephalograms, comprising those taken before treatment (T1) and at the end of functional treatment (T2), were evaluated with regard to their linear, angular, and area measurements.

The mandibular length increased and the hyoid bone moved forward with both treatments (P < 0.05). The horizontal change in the hyoid bone position with MAF treatment was correlated with changes in the point B and ANB angle. Increases of 1.8mm, 1.4mm, and 1.8mm in the pharyngeal airway dimensions were obtained at the levels of the second, third, and fourth cervical vertebra, respectively, with the MAF treatment. On the other hand, an increase of 1.9mm was found at the level of the fourth cervical vertebra with the activator treatment.
