Article Abstract
Background: A set of criteria for severity classification is essential in alopecia areata (AA). Currently, no guidelines are universally accepted for defining AA severity.
Objective: This study aimed to establish a set of consensus criteria for classifying the severity of and identifying treatment refractoriness in AA.
Methods: A preliminary draft of the definition for moderate-to-severe AA was crafted based on available evidence, and members of the Korean Hair Research Society (KHRS) subsequently endorsed the recommendation through an online survey.
Results: In the first Delphi round, consensus was attained on 15 questions. After refining certain items in the second round, consensus was achieved on 23 out of 26 questions. The KHRS first defined AA severity using the severity of alopecia tool (SALT). SALT ≥50 was defined as severe, 20≤ SALT <50 as moderate, and SALT <20 as mild. Moderate AA was considered severe if it meets one or more of the following criteria: dermatology life quality index >10, presence of accompanying eyebrow or eyelash loss, positive hair loss activity, or treatment-refractory AA.
Conclusion: These consensus criteria can help clinicians accurately diagnose AA, provide appropriate treatment, and monitor its progression.

The use of cementless total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has significantly increased over the past decade. However, there is no objective criteria or consensus on parameters for patient selection for cementless TKA. The purpose of this study was to develop a machine learning model based on patient and radiographic parameters that could identify patients indicated for cementless TKA.

Introduction: Accurate diagnosis of subscapularis tears remains challenging due to the limitations of physical examinations and imaging techniques. Therefore, specific radiological parameters have been proposed as predictors of atraumatic subscapularis tears to improve diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy. These parameters include coracohumeral distance (CHD), coracoglenoid angle (CGA), coracoid angle (CA), coracoid overlap (CO), and coracohumeral angle (CHA).

Introduction: The concept of body representation overlaps with others, such as body schema, body image, body semantics, structural description, body description or body map. A taxonomy is proposed that classifies body schema, body structural description and body semantics. The aim of this narrative review is to analyze the supply of instruments for neuropsychological assessment of body representation and to propose a classification of their paradigms.

Critically ill adults are more commonly being admitted to intensive care units (ICU) with a recent history of direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use. No consensus guidance exists on optimal anticoagulation strategies in critically ill adults with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) on DOAC's prior to ICU admission, and there is considerable variability in clinical practice. To evaluate rates of major bleeding and thrombosis between 2 anticoagulation strategies for NVAF upon ICU admission: package insert (continuation of oral or parenteral anticoagulation per manufacturer recommendations) vs non-package insert (prophylactic dosing or delayed therapeutic anticoagulation).

Background/aims: The extent to which low- and middle-income countries have implemented Advance Care Planning (ACP) and Advance Directives (AD) remains unclear. We aimed to map the current status of ACP/AD in Latin America.
Methods: This cross-sectional, mixed-methods survey of ACP/AD in LA comprised interviews with 18 key informants from 18 out of 20 countries, most of whom were appointed by national Palliative Care Associations.
