Article Abstract
Objective: Fatigue is identified as one of the most prevalent and persistent problems reported by people with post COVID-19 condition that negatively impacts on everyday living and resumption of pre-COVID-19 lifestyle. A pilot occupational therapy fatigue management intervention was designed for patients presenting with post COVID-19 condition fatigue.
Design: A retrospective analysis was carried out after the delivery of the fatigue management intervention. Self-reported measures of fatigue, well-being, and health status were taken at baseline and repeated at 2 wks after intervention. Baseline and postintervention scores were compared using nonparametric analysis.
Results: Sixty participants (73% female), median age 50.5 yrs (range, 17-74), 93% reporting symptoms persisting for 12 wks or longer, completed the fatigue management intervention. All participants reported moderate to severe fatigue impacting on everyday activity at baseline. The greatest impact of fatigue was on engagement in leisure and work activity. Statistically significant improvement in fatigue ( P < 0.001), well-being ( P < 0.001), and health status ( P < 0.001) were noted after the intervention.
Conclusions: Findings indicate the potential of occupational therapy fatigue management interventions to enable self-management strategies and reduce the negative impact of fatigue among people with post COVID-19 condition.

Ergonomics in percutaneous nephrolithotomy: a comparative analysis of musculoeskeletical and mental workload in prone vs. supine positions with two lithotripters-a pilot study.
World J Urol

Department of Urology, Hospital Clínico San Borja Arriarán, Santiago, Chile.
Purpose: Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) is a common technique in the surgical management of renal lithiasis, but it also represents a significant workload for surgeons. Factors such as the patient's position and the type of lithotripter used influence the physical and mental load on the surgeon. The study aimed to identify stressors related to PCNL by comparing the physical and mental workload experienced by urologists during PCNL under different patient positions and using two lithotripters.

Postoperative fatigue (POF) and perioperatively acquired muscle weakness (POAW) are significant yet often under-recognised interlinked postoperative complications that can significantly hinder postoperative recovery and diminish overall quality of life after surgery. Despite advancements in surgical and anaesthetic techniques and the widespread implementation of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) protocols, these conditions remain prevalent. In the weeks following surgery, reported incidences of fatigue of any severity range from 10% to as high as 90%, depending on the patient population.

A Novel Posterior Implant System for Sacroiliac Joint Fusion: Preliminary Cadaveric and Clinical Results.

Background Sacroiliac joint fusion is performed to stabilize and fuse the joint in patients with degenerative sacroiliitis and joint dysfunction. While several posterior techniques and implants exist as alternatives to lateral approaches, biomechanical and clinical performance data for these systems used as standalone remains limited. This article provides a preliminary cadaveric and clinical assessment of a novel posterior intra-articular sacroiliac fusion implant system.
