Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most common surgical procedures. Although THA surgeries are typically very successful, between 3% and 17% of all patients experience trochanteric pain after surgery. Unfortunately, there remains little high quality and reproducible evidence surrounding this disorder, especially following total hip replacement. The objectives of this review are to describe, among pre-operative or post-operative primary THA patients the prevalence, treatments, prognosis, risk factors, and diagnostic methods available for trochanteric pain. Methods: This is a protocol for a descriptive systematic review of trochanteric pain among THA patients. We will include studies of all study designs, with the exception of non-systematic reviews and expert opinion, with no date limits. We will search Medline, Embase, CINAHL, and the Cochrane Library using the Ovid search interface. We will also search the reference lists of included studies for possible missed studies. We will use the systematic review management software Rayyan to assist with study screening. Two reviewers will independently review studies for inclusion and extract data into a study-specific database. Discussion: This study will add to the literature by comprehensively and systematically evaluating the available literature on trochanteric pain after THA. Previous studies have been conducted on the topic but they were not comprehensive or did not review the literature systematically. Additionally, our study will critically evaluate the methodological quality of the included studies, adding an evidence-based component to the review. This review will help orthopaedic surgeons better care for patients with trochanteric pain after THA, and will identify knowledge gaps for future research. Registration: This protocol will be registered on PROSPERO

BACKGROUND Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), the disease caused by the new severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is already responsible for more than four and a half million deaths worldwide. With a unique pathophysiology related to respiratory failure due to interstitial pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome, severe COVID-19 is qualitatively different from moderate disease. Since genetics play a crucial role in susceptibility to viral infection and propensity to develop harmful inflammatory conditions, genetic heterogeneity promotes the question of whether gene variants might influence COVID-19 outcomes. The identification of genetic variants associated with severe courses of COVID-19 is a promising option for the improvement of prognostic tools, contemplation of new therapeutic targets and the development of patient’s clinical risk stratification. OBJECTIVE We aim to perform a scoping review to assess the extent of the literature regarding the gene variants that could be associated with COVID-19 severity. METHODS The proposed scoping review will be conducted in accordance with the methodology from the Joanna Briggs Institute’s Scoping Review Network.12 The search strategy will focus on published studies without discriminating in date or language. A multiple-database search (MEDLINE, LILACS, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar and OpenGrey) will be done performing the following strategy: ((("COVID-19"[Mesh] OR "SARS-CoV-2"[Mesh]) AND ("Polymorphism, Genetic"[Mesh] OR "Mutation"[Mesh] OR "Antibody Diversity"[Mesh] OR "Antigenic Variation"[Mesh]) AND ("Severity of Illness Index"[Mesh] OR "Death"[Mesh] OR "Critical Care"[Mesh] OR "Critical Illness"[Mesh] OR (severity))). This scoping review will consider observational studies and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) without discriminating in date or language. Additionally, systematic reviews that meet the inclusion criteria will also be considered. Data will be extracted from papers included in the scoping review by two independent reviewers using an already existent data extraction tool. RESULTS The conducted search was performed on February 16th in MEDLINE, LILACS, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Google Scholar and OpenGrey retrieved a total of 2190 results. Completion of the review is expected in late 2021. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review will be the first to map the extent of information regarding the genetic variants associated to the severity of COVID-19. The data gathered by this investigation could lead to biomarkers of severity in COVID-19 and the stratification of patients according to their genetic risk of disease severity.

OBJECTIVE: To identify scientific studies and to deepen the knowledge of peripheral neuropathies induced by chemotherapy antineoplastic, seeking evidence for assistance to cancer patients. METHOD: Integrative review of the literature conducted in the databases Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), Medical Literature Analysis (PubMed/MEDLINE), the Cochrane Library and the Spanish Bibliographic Index Health Sciences (IBECS). RESULTS: The sample consisted of 15 studies published between 2005-2014 that met the inclusion criteria. Studies showed aspects related to advanced age, main symptoms of neuropathy and chemotherapy agents as important adverse effect of neuropathy. CONCLUSION: We identified a small number of studies that addressed the topic, as well as low production of evidence related to interventions with positive results. It is considered important to develop new studies proposed for the prevention and/or treatment, enabling adjustment of the patient's cancer chemotherapy and consequently better service.

This systematic review aims to provide an overview of the diagnostic methods, preventive strategies, and therapeutic approaches for cyclists suffering from pudendal neuropathy. The study defines a guide in delineating a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol using the best current strategies. Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and Scopus Web of Science were searched for the terms: “Bicycling” OR “Bike” OR “Cyclists” AND “Neuropathy” OR “Pudendal Nerve” OR “Pudendal Neuralgia” OR “Perineum”. The database search identified 14,602 articles. After the titles and abstracts were screened, two independent reviewers analyzed 41 full texts. A total of 15 articles were considered eligible for inclusion. Methodology and results of the study were critically appraised in conformity with PRISMA guidelines and PICOS criteria. Fifteen articles were included in the systematic review and were used to describe the main methods used for measuring the severity of pudendal neuropathy and the preventive and therapeutic strategies for nerve impairment. Future research should determine the validity and the effectiveness of diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, their cost-effectiveness, and the adherences of the sportsmen to the treatment.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound and electromyography for the detection of fasciculation in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and to compare detection rates between the two methods. By searching the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica, and Latin-American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature databases, we identified studies evaluating the diagnostic accuracy and fasciculation detection rates of ultrasound and electromyography. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies, version 2, and RTI item bank tools were used for the evaluation of methodological quality. Ultrasound, for 10 s or 30 s, had a higher detection rate than did electromyography in all muscles evaluated. The overall detection rate (in patients) did not differ significantly between ultrasound for 10 s and ultrasound for 30 s. The accuracy of ultrasound for 10 s was 70% in muscles and 85% in patients. The accuracy of ultrasound for 30 s was 82% in patients. Ultrasound provided detection rates superior to those achieved with electromyography, independent of the examination time and muscles evaluated.
