Surgery, needle fasciotomy, and collagenase injection are used to treat Dupuytren contracture. The treatment decision requires balancing initial morbidity costs of surgery against its potential long-term benefits over fasciotomy collagenase.

Objective.Autonomic nervous system function and thereby bodily stress recovery reactions may be assessed by wearable devices measuring heart rate (HR) its variability (HRV). So far, the validity of HRV-based assessments has been mainly studied in healthy populations. In this study, we determined how psychosocial affects physiological psychological responses both young (18-30 years) middle-aged (45-64 individuals as well patients with arterial hypertension and/or either prior evidence...

Abstract Background The Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and Patient-rated wrist/hand evaluation (PRWHE) are patient-reported outcomes frequently used for evaluating pain function of the wrist hand. aim this study was to determine thresholds minimal important difference (MID) patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) NRS PRWHE instruments in patients with base thumb osteoarthritis. Methods Fifty-two symptomatic osteoarthritis wore a splint six weeks before undergoing trapeziectomy. (0 10) 100)...

The Oxford Elbow Score (OES) and the short version of Disabilities Arms, Shoulder Hand (QuickDASH) are common patient-reported outcomes for people with elbow problems. Our primary objective was to define thresholds Minimal Important Difference (MID) Patient-Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) OES QuickDASH. secondary aim compare longitudinal validity these outcome measures.We recruited 97 patients clinically-diagnosed tennis a prospective observational cohort study in pragmatic clinical setting....

Two common ways of assessing the clinical relevance treatment outcomes are minimal important difference (MID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS). The former represents smallest change in given outcome that makes people feel better, while latter is level at which patients well.We recruited 124 with a humeral shaft fracture to randomised controlled trial comparing surgery nonsurgical care. Outcome instruments included Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand (DASH) score, Constant-Murley two...

Physiological mechanisms explaining why cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) predicts cardiovascular morbidity and mortality are incompletely understood. We examined if CRF modifies vagally mediated heart rate variability (HRV) during acute physical or psychosocial stress night-time sleep in adults with risk factors.

Abstract Background: Two common ways of assessing the clinical relevance treatment outcomes are minimal important difference (MID) and patient acceptable symptom state (PASS). The former represents smallest change in given outcome that makes people feel better, while latter is level at which patients well. Methods: We recruited 124 humeral shaft fracture to a randomised controlled trial comparing surgery nonsurgical care. Outcome instruments included Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand score...
