ZusammenfassungWährend Weber-C-Frakturen definitionsgemäß mit einer Verletzung der Syndesmose einhergehen, zeigen einige Studien, dass Weber-B-Frakturen mit Beteiligung der Syndesmose, bei adäquater Therapie mittels fibulotibialer Stellschraube, gleich gute klinische Ergebnisse aufweisen können wie solche ohne Syndesmosenverletzung. Aktuelle eigene Erhebungen zum klinischen und radiologischen Outcome bei isolierten Frakturen des Außenknöchels vom Typ Weber B mit oder ohne behandelte Syndesmosenverletzung bestätigen dies. Das Schmerzniveau, die klinischen Ergebnisse und die Röntgenaufnahmen zeigten keinen signifikanten Unterschied zwischen den Gruppen. Weber-B-Frakturen mit Ruptur der Syndesmose zeigten nur eine signifikante, aber klinisch nicht relevante Einschränkung der Dorsalextension im Vergleich zu denen mit intakter Syndesmose (15 vs. 20˚, p = 0,028). Schlussfolgerung: Die Ruptur der fibulotibialen Syndesmose beeinflusst die klinischen und radiologischen Outcome-Parameter nach Weber-B-Sprunggelenksfrakturen bei adäquater Behandlung mit einer fibulotibialen Stellschraube nicht.

AbstractMalignant bowel obstruction (MBO) is a relatively common condition affecting patients with advanced malignancy. Therapeutic interventions should be aimed at maintaining quality of life. Given the lack of prospective controlled studies in this patient population, patient management is often based on local practice patterns and anecdotal experience. To foster a collaborative approach among the members of the patient care team involving internal medicine, oncology, palliative care, clinical nutrition, surgery, gastroenterology, and interventional radiology physicians, it is important to improve our understanding of MBO. The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical presentation, pathophysiology, as well as medical, surgical, and nonsurgical palliative options available to patients with MBO for purposes of decompression and nutrition.

Causal inference is a critical research topic across many domains, such as statistics, computer science, education, public policy, and economics, for decades. Nowadays, estimating causal effect from observational data has become an appealing research direction owing to the large amount of available data and low budget requirement, compared with randomized controlled trials. Embraced with the rapidly developed machine learning area, various causal effect estimation methods for observational data have sprung up. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of causal inference methods under the potential outcome framework, one of the well-known causal inference frameworks. The methods are divided into two categories depending on whether they require all three assumptions of the potential outcome framework or not. For each category, both the traditional statistical methods and the recent machine learning enhanced methods are discussed and compared. The plausible applications of these methods are also presented, including the applications in advertising, recommendation, medicine, and so on. Moreover, the commonly used benchmark datasets as well as the open-source codes are also summarized, which facilitate researchers and practitioners to explore, evaluate and apply the causal inference methods.
