Purpose: to analyze the efficacy of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) after cataract extraction. To determine the NSAID’s role in post-operative inflammatory processes treatment. Results: the rationale of NSAIDs use before and after cataract surgery was validated. The NSAIDs efficacy in terms of post-op inflammation reduction was confirmed. Among NSAIDs benefits, the convenient and easy-to-use instillation regimen of Bromfenac 0.09% eye drops solution was highlighted.

Objective: An appropriate measuring instrument for assessing if sports activity changes after a surgical treatment is not available yet. We hypothesised that the Heidelberg Sport Activity Score is a valid and adequate instrument for measuring sport activity in patients before and after operative treatment. Design: This retrospective study presents a new score (Heidelberg Sports Activity Score - HAS) for measuring the sport activity in 11 selected sports. Validity, sensitivity and test-retest-reliability have been assessed. Setting: The score includes importance of the sports for patients, impairment of the corresponding joint, and frequency and duration of the sporting activities undertaken. The HAS was validated using 3 criteria: external validation, internal comparison of groups and correlation with the Tegner Score. Patients: A total of 655 patients were recruited for this study. The inclusion criterion was a planned or already received reconstruction (such as a high tibial osteotomy or implantation of a hip or knee prosthesis). The sport activity of these patients was evaluated before and after treatment. Main Outcome Measurement: The mean HAS was 32.1 points preoperatively and 37.0 postoperatively (p=0.017). Results: A high correlation was found between the HAS and the Tegner Score (TS) (r=0.729; p=0.010). The Test-Retest- Reliability was performed within a time interval of 2 weeks and a significant correlation of r=0.752 was found (p<0.01). Sensitivity was analysed using a sample of patients before and after high tibial osteotomy. Conclusions: The HAS is a new, easy to use, effective and valid measuring instrument for the assessment of sports activity in patients before and after operative treatment.

Background: The purpose of the study was to compare clinical and functional outcomes before and after hyaluronic acid (HA) injections in patients with osteochondral lesions of the talus who experienced a failure of their primary treatment with arthroscopic microfracture surgery. Methods: A total of 40 patients were included in the final study. These patients had received microfracture surgery but continued to experience postoperative pain over an average of 13.0 months (range, 0-81 months) and were available for investigation with a mean follow-up for 29.1 months (SD 14.7; range 2.6-79.6 months). All patients received intra-articular injections of HA once per week for 3 weeks. We assessed clinical and functional outcomes before and after injection using the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) score, Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and the Alexander subjective scale. Results: The AOFAS score significantly increased from 50.7 ± 13.8 to 79.9 ± 13.8 and the FAOS scores for symptom, pain, daily living, and sports were significantly higher postinjection compared to preinjection (all P < .001). Similarly, the mean VAS for pain was significantly decreased after 6 weeks following injection and continued to decrease over the follow-up period; the mean VAS was significantly lower postinjection compared to preinjection at 12 months ( P < .001). Conclusion: Intra-articular HA injections on average significantly improved clinical and functional scores after failed primary operative treatment. HA injections may provide an alternative to secondary operative treatment and provide better clinical outcomes than other conservative treatments. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective observational cohort study.

Backgrounds: Cervical degenerative disc disease is a pathological change in the cervical associated with the degenerative process. Surgery is one of the therapeutic modalities in cases of cervical degenerative disc disease. Post-surgical clinical outcomes are needed to evaluate the results of the actions that have been taken. Methods: This study is an observational retrospective study to evaluate clinical and functional outcomes using Neck Disability Index & SF36 on cervical degenerative disc disease before and after surgery at Dr. Soetomo Hospital Surabaya in 2013-2018. Data is processed using SPSS and compared using the T-test. Results: A total of 12 patients with details of 8 male patients and four female patients who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in this study. There was a significant decrease in the average NDI score (p = 0.05) before surgery (47.33) compared with after surgery (15.58). There was a significant increase in the average SF36 score (p< 0.05) before surgery (50.75) compared to after surgery (88.16). Conclusions: There is an increase in clinical and functional outcomes in patients with cervical degenerative disc disease who undergo operative treatment.

Abstract Purpose The aim of this retrospective study is to determine children’s attendance and experience of preventative interventions and operative treatment (restorations and extractions) with their primary care dentist (PCD) in the 12 months before and after their caries management under dental general anaesthetic (DGA). Methods A record of all children who had an elective DGA in 2016 across two hospital sites was retrospectively obtained (n = 1308). A representative sample of 300 was randomly selected encompassing 114 dental practices. An online questionnaire to the children’s PCDs collated quantitative and qualitative data regarding participation in the pre- and post-DGA period. Results Data was collated and analysed for 80 children (mean age: 6 years 10 months [SD = 2.49; range: 2 years 1 month – 14 years 3 months]; equal sex distribution) with 43 responding PCDs. Attendance for examination declined significantly from 85% (n = 68) pre-DGA to 57.5% (n = 46) post-DGA (p ≤ 0.001). Attendance at emergency appointments pre-DGA was high (33.75% [n = 27]); a significant reduction post-DGA was recorded (p ≤ 0.001). Over one third of children (37.5% [n = 30]) did not receive any form of preventative intervention over 24 months. A non-significant reduction in the provision of operative treatment was observed post-DGA (p = 0.06 [fill, primary]; p = 0.78 [fill, permanent]; p = 0.66 [ext, primary]). No statistical difference between age and treatment experience was found. Qualitative analysis revealed challenges in providing care included behavioural difficulties and poor attendance. Conclusion Improvements are required in strategies employed to support high caries risk children pre- and post-DGA to facilitate a higher incidence of attendance and preventative intervention with PCDs.

Background: Metastatic bone disease is bone pathologic process caused by spread of primary tumor. The incidence of metastatic bone disease varies between 20-75% corresponds to the primary site of the malignancy. Surgery in metastatic bone disease aim to cure or palliate the morbidity caused by the disease. Operative treatment could reduce pain, improve function, control metastatic focus of the malignancy, and provide mechanical stabilization. Based on those benefits, operative treatment is important to improve quality of life in patients with metastatic bone disease. Purpose:  Proved that there was a difference in the quality of life MBD patients before and after surgery.Methods: This research was a retrospective cohort on MBD patients which undergone surgery, and never given any other treatment in the course of the disease. The research was conducted in Dr. Soetomo General Hospital, Surabaya. Patient sampling was done using consecutive sampling. Karnofsky score was taken from the medical record before the procedure and direct interview via phone or completing questionnaire. Data analysis was done descriptively and analytically. Statistical tests were done using Wilcoxon test.Results: 146 patients enrolled in the research. The mean age of the sample was 48.77 ± 13.34 years. The mean of Karnofsky score before and after the procedure was 53.69±13.07 and 75.54±13.69 with statistical result of p<0.001.Conclusion: The Karnofsky score in MBD patients was higher after the surgery compared to before the surgery.
