Article Abstract
Background: Exercise training (EX) and statins are first-line therapies to manage dyslipidemia.
Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of EX and statins on functional status and cardiovascular risk (CVR) in dyslipidemic older adults with comorbidities.
Methods: Participants (n = 981) underwent one of 3 conditions: (a) multicomponent exercise training (EX; n = 298; 74% females); (b) statins (ST; n = 178; 65% females); (c) combined therapy-exercise plus ST therapy (ST+EX; n = 505; 79% females). Functional fitness, anthropometry, hemodynamic and lipid profiles, and were assessed at baseline and after 2-years.
Results: EX and ST+EX participants improved all the functional status variables, whereas ST participants aggravated all the outcomes. Triglycerides and HDL-cholesterol maintained unchanged and total cholesterol decreased in the three groups, whereas LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C) decreased in EX and ST+EX groups but not in ST group. EX and ST+EX groups decreased body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure; contrarily, ST group increased these variables.
Conclusion: Statins combined with exercise training or exercise alone are more effective to improve functional status, to manage cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular risk factors in dyslipidemic older adults with comorbidities than ST alone. Furthermore, current results suggest that isolated statin therapy decreases functional status and other cardiovascular risk factors.

Analysis of safety of carotid endarterectomy in nonagenarians and the implications of frailty - A National surgical quality improvement program analysis.

Background: Carotid artery stenosis prevalence increases with age, and carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a possible treatment option. However, nonagenarians are at high risk of experiencing postoperative complications and are often not considered surgical candidates. We aimed to identify risk factors associated with postoperative myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and death within 30 days for nonagenarians undergoing CEA and to analyze the predictive ability of modified frailty indices (mFI) in predicting adverse outcomes for this population.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the radiological-functional outcomes and rotator cuff (RC) status following humeral intramedullary nailing (IMN), comparing the anterolateral standard approach (group 1) and the percutaneous antero-acromial approach (group 2).
Methods: This observational prospective monocentric study was conducted from August 2021 to March 2023. Inclusion criteria included: two-parts proximal (surgical neck) and diaphyseal Humeral fractures treated with IMN; 12-month follow-up; age between 18 and 85 years; good performance status (excluding neurologic deficits or mental disorders).
A Randomized Trial of Cervical Stabilization Exercise Training Via Telerehabilitation for Migraine.

Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation, Ankara, Turkey.
Purpose: To compare the effects of cervical stabilization exercise training via telerehabilitation (CSET-T) in addition to standard treatment on pain, forward head posture, cervical mobility, muscle performance, functional status, sleep quality, and quality of life in individuals with migraine in comparison to the standard treatment alone.
Methods: The control group (n = 20) received standard treatment alone (medication+recommendations). The stabilization group (n = 20) was given CSET-T in addition to standard treatment 3 days a week for 8 weeks.
A randomized controlled trial comparing the outcomes of the modified Stoppa and ilioinguinal approaches in the surgical treatment of acetabular fractures.

Background: The Stoppa approach was modified to manage fractures of the anterior column as an alternative to the ilioinguinal approach to reduce complications. A debate persists regarding the superiority of one approach over the other. Therefore, in the present study we performed a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to investigate the following hypotheses: (1) Whether the modified Stoppa approach leads to reduced blood loss, (2) Whether the functional and radiological outcomes with the modified Stoppa approach are superior to those with the ilioinguinal approach, and (3) Whether the complication rates differ between the two approaches.

Purpose: This study examined head and neck cancer treatment outcome priorities in patients with human papillomavirus-associated oropharyngeal cancer (HPVOPC) before and 12 months (12m) after (chemo)radiotherapy ([C]RT).
Methods And Materials: Eligible patients were diagnosed with HPVOPC suitable for curative-intent primary [C]RT. Study data included responses to a modified version of the Chicago Priorities Scale (CPS-modified) and select items from the MDASI Head and Neck Cancer Module (MDASI-HN).
