Economic realities in lower-and-middle-income countries (LMICs) present an increased need for outcome measures for wheelchair efficacy, as these measures enable optimized use of funds. As the provision level of wheelchairs is low in these areas, and many wheelchairs are inappropriate for their intended users, use of funds based on evidence is especially necessary. The Wheelchair Satisfaction Questionnaire (WSQ) was designed to be a snapshot of a wheelchair user's level of satisfaction with their wheelchair. The WSQ is comprised of 16 visual analogue scale questions. Each question includes an option for a qualitative explanatory comment. The current study examined initial test-retest reliability of the WSQ.

The WSQ was administered twice to the same set of wheelchair users who were secondary students at a school for students with disabilities. A demonstration was given to the participants to explain how to mark the analogue scale. Participants were instructed to answer each item honestly and without peer ifrom wheelchair users, which could identify the most commonly perceived reasons for user dissatisfaction in a particular clinical setting.
Investigate the type and frequency of wheelchair repairs and resulting adverse consequences in a Veteran population.

Convenience cross-sectional sample survey.

Data were collected at the 2017 National Veterans Wheelchair Games.

Veterans who use a wheelchair ≥ 40 h/wk (
 = 60).

Not applicable.

Repairs and associated adverse consequences, wheelchair age and usage, type of repairs completed, time elapsed between breakdowns and repairs, and who completed repairs.

60 participants reported 124 repairs in the previous 6 months with 88.3% of participants requiring at least one repair. Consequences were reported by 43.5% of those experiencing repairs and were most commonly secondary to repairs in the electrical system, wheelchair frame, power/control system, and wheels and casters. Travelling greater distances during the week and on weekends was associated with increased rates of repairs (
 = 0.01 and
 = 0.02, respectively) and consequences (
 = 0.03 and
 = 0.03, respectively). Power wheelchairs werventions may prove impactful in reducing the adverse medical, functional, and social consequences of wheelchair breakdowns.
A high number of repairs and resulting adverse consequences occur for wheelchair users, particularly power wheelchair users, in a sample of Veterans. Interventions to prevent breakdowns and to address repairs and adverse consequences in a time-efficient manner are needed. Implications for rehabilitation In a sample of Veterans, a high number of repairs and resulting adverse consequences occur for wheelchair users, particularly power wheelchair users. There is an important clinical opportunity to help wheelchair users avoid repairs in the first place and reduce adverse consequences after breakdowns occur by improving wheelchair quality, providing preventative chair maintenance, and repairing breakdowns in a timely and efficient manner. These interventions may prove impactful in reducing the adverse medical, functional, and social consequences of wheelchair breakdowns.
Rapid development in telecommunication sector across the globe has revolutionised communication networks even in rural areas. At a tertiary leprosy referral hospital in Tamil Nadu, India, leprosy treatment was started for a male patient presenting with clinical signs and symptoms suggestive of leprosy. Since the patient was from a remote area, but needed close and continuous monitoring, he was provided with a mobile phone and a 12 h toll free number.

The patient was able to provide detailed regular information of his health status to the health worker, through the toll free number from the mobile phone given to him. The patient defaulted during his treatment. Within a few days of his defaulting, a follow up call was made and the patient revealed that he did not have enough financial resources to visit the hospital and continue his treatment.

The patient was visited by a health worker and was reassured. Arrangements were made by the hospital to reimburse his travel costs.

Utilising the advancements in technology would help in solving some of the key unanswered issues existing in leprosy. The use of technology helps facilitate and complement the work of health workers in reaching out to patients living in remote areas. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION The use of M (mobile) - health in treatment compliance and adherence The use of M-health in the prevention and management of impairments in leprosy Effective monitoring and follow up of patients with impairments through mobile.

Methods This study included 18 ovarian dysgerminoma patients with unilateral and/or bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) ± hysterectomy+omentectomy+bilateral pelvic ± para-aortic lymphadenectomy+peritoneal cytologic sampling. Results Four (22%) patients underwent definitive surgery, including type I hysterectomy and BSO. Only one of the remaining 14 patients underwent BSO because of bilateral streak gonad presence during intraoperative examination. Thirteen patients (72%) had conservative surgeries. In addition, staging surgeries were performed to all patients except for one patient with 16 weeks of pregnancy (patient #3) in the study group. Retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy was part of the staging procedure except for this pregnant patient. Lymph node metastasis was positive in four (22%) patients. Three (16%) patients recurred and none of them died because of disease during follow-up period. Two of the relapsed patients were treated with combination of surgery and chemotherapy, whereas the third patient received only chemotherapy for treatment. Conclusions Fertility sparing surgery should be the choice of treatment in patients with pure ovarian dysgerminoma. In addition, staging surgery, including retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is obligatory for determining stage IA patients who are exempt from adjuvant chemotherapy. Close surveillance policy enables early detection of patients with recurrences in whom salvage therapy is highly curable.
Previous studies have reported patellofemoral cartilage degeneration and analyzed the factors affecting degeneration after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). However, no studies have evaluated patellofemoral cartilage degeneration or examined the factors affecting degeneration after closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO).

To investigate and compare patellofemoral cartilage degeneration after CWHTO and OWHTO via arthroscopic evaluation and to analyze the factors affecting the degeneration.

Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

A total of 54 CWHTOs and 50 OWHTOs were performed with first-look arthroscopy between 2013 and 2017 at one institution. Selleckchem Xevinapant Hardware removal and second-look arthroscopy were performed, on average, 30.2 months after CWHTO and 26.8 months after OWHTO (
= .178). Patient characteristics did not differ significantly between the groups. Radiographically, the mechanical axis, posterior tibial slope, and modified Blackburne-Peel ratio were evaluated. Arthroscopically, the percentaand required correction angle, regardless of applying a closed- or open-wedge technique.
Adequate clinical services have yet to be established in the majority of African countries, where childhood cancer survival rates vary from 8.1% to 30.3%. link2 The aim of this review is to describe the landscape of pediatric oncology trials in Africa, identify challenges, and offer future opportunities for research collaborations.

The study includes data from the International Pediatric Oncology Society (SIOP) global mapping survey, meta-research identifying trials in Africa in ClinicalTrials.gov, and a literature overview of publications on the subject of pediatric oncology clinical research supported by expert opinions on the current situation and challenges.

The SIOP global mapping survey received responses from 47 of 54 African countries, of which 23 have active clinical research programs. A preliminary search of ClinicalTrials.gov showed that only 105 (12.1%) of 868 African oncology studies included children and adolescents. Of these, 53 (50.5%) were interventional trials according to the registry's claarch of high quality is being done in Africa. Several initiatives are stimulating the development of the research capacity across the continent, which should increase the publication output.
Patients with GI cancers in Nepal often present with advanced disease and poor outcomes. The purpose of the study was to determine the time to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of GI cancer and the baseline factors that may be associated with delays.

An institutional review board-approved study was performed in Kathmandu, Nepal, from July 2018 to June 2019. Patients with newly diagnosed GI cancers were asked to fill out a standardized questionnaire. Baseline factors such as residence, literacy, and use of self-medication were recorded. Patients were asked to report the time from first symptom to presentation, time from primary care visit to pathologic diagnosis, and time from diagnosis to surgery and/or treatment. Baseline factors were analyzed using 2-tailed
tests (Prism 8.0; GraphPad, La Jolla, CA) to determine whether any factors were associated with longer time delays in these 3 intervals.

The cohort comprised of 104 patients with a median age of 53.5 years (range, 22-77 years); 61.5% were men, 46.2% had upper GI cancers, and 83.7% presented with stage III or IV disease. The median time to presentation was 150 days, time to diagnosis was 220 days, and time to treatment was 50 days. There was no statistically significant difference in time intervals between upper and lower GI cancers. link3 Use of self-medication (88.5%) was the only factor associated with longer time intervals to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.

Patients in Nepal have long time intervals to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of GI cancer. Self-medication led to longer delays. Reasons for self-medication and other potential barriers will be explored in future studies in the hopes of improving outcomes.
