Osteotomy around the knee: Assessment of quality,content and readability of online information

BackgroundAs knee osteotomy surgery becomes increasingly accessible, more patients may turn to the Internet for information. This study examined the source, quality, content and readability of online information regarding osteotomy around the knee.MethodsThe first 70 websites returned by the top four search engines were identified using the key words: “knee osteotomy” and “high tibial osteotomy.” The websites were categorised by type and assessed using the DISCERN score, Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria and a novel Knee Osteotomy-Specific Score (KOSS). The presence of the Health On the Net (HON) code accreditation seal was noted. Readability of each website was assessed using eight readability formulae. The mean reading grade level (RGL) was compared to the 6th and 8th grade reading levels. The mean RGL of each category was also compared.ResultsOf the 45 unique websites analysed, the majority were Physician (33%) and Journal websites (31%). The mean DISCERN score was 36.7 (±8.9) which is classified as ‘poor.’ The mean JAMA benchmark criteria score was 2.04 (±1.5) and Physician websites were most likely to be scored zero. The mean KOSS was 15.4 (±5.7). The highest scoring website was a Commercial site but, overall, Journal category sites provided the best quality information. Websites that bore the HONcode seal obtained higher DISCERN, JAMA benchmark criteria and Knee Osteotomy - Specific Scores.The cumulative mean RGL was 13.2 (±2.2) which exceeded the 6th grade level by an average of 7.2 grade levels and the 8th grade level by an average of 5.2 grade levels. No website (0%) was written at or below either the 6th or the 8th grade reading levels. The mean Flesch Reading Ease Score of all websites was 41.13 (±14.7) which is classified as ‘difficult.’ Journal websites had the highest RGL.ConclusionThe information available online regarding osteotomy around the knee varies tremendously in quality and completeness. Physician sites predominate, but these were among the lowest scoring of all websites. Even where high quality information is available, it is set at too high a level to be easily understood.Level of evidenceSurvey of materials – Internet.

足筋膜间隙综合征相关肌肉磁刺激运动诱发电位的临床研究

目的:探讨足筋膜间隙综合征患者相关肌肉的磁刺激运动诱发电位(MEP)的特征及其临床意义.方法:对21例确诊为单侧足筋膜间隙综合征患者,在双侧腘窝上缘用磁刺激坐骨神经,同心圆针电极插入双侧足部各筋膜间隙内相应的肌肉中,记录各自MEP的潜伏期及波幅变化,并计算其比值,分析该比值与足筋膜间隙综合征发生的相关性.结果:正常足部各筋膜间隙内相应的肌肉磁刺激MEP先正后负,潜伏期相对恒定,但波幅不够稳定;当间隙内压大于30mmHg时,间隙内相应肌肉MEP潜伏期明显延长,为健侧的(1.9l±0.23)倍.统计学分析显示,筋膜间隙综合征的发生与磁刺激MEP波幅比值降低之间无相关性(P＞0.05),而与相应肌肉MEP潜伏期比值的变化之间存在着明显相关性(P＜0.01).结论:磁刺激MEP作为诊断足筋膜间隙综合征的客观指标具有重要的价值.

The Mainz Severity Score Index: a new instrument for quantifying the Anderson-Fabry disease phenotype, and the response of patients to enzyme replacement therapy

Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked disorder caused by deficient activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. The availability of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) for this debilitating condition has led to the need for a convenient and sensitive instrument to monitor clinical effects in an individual patient. This study aimed to develop a scoring system--the Mainz Severity Score Index (MSSI)--to measure the severity of AFD and to monitor the clinical course of the disease in response to ERT. Thirty-nine patients (24 males and 15 females) with AFD were assessed using the MSSI immediately before and 1 year after commencing agalsidase alfa ERT. Control data were obtained from 23 patients in whom AFD was excluded. The MSSI of patients with AFD was significantly higher than that of patients with other severe debilitating diseases. The MSSI indicated that, although more men than women had symptoms classified as severe, overall, the median total severity scores were not significantly different between male and female patients. One year of ERT with agalsidase alfa led, in all patients, to a significant (p < 0.001) reduction in MSSI score (by a median of nine points). This study has shown that the MSSI score may be a useful, specific measure for objectively assessing the severity of AFD and for monitoring ERT-related treatment effects.     

Relationship between X-inactivation and clinical involvement in Fabry heterozygotes. Eleven novel mutations in the α-galactosidase A gene in the Czech and Slovak population

We have identified 21 different -galactosidase A gene (GLA) mutations in 22 unrelated Czech and Slovak families with Fabry disease. Eleven of these mutations were novel (point mutations D93N, A135V, D155H, G171R, Q280K, G360S, Q330X, splicing errors c.194ins14, c.801ins36 and deletions c.674_732del59, g.3405_6021del2617). Genotyping of family members for family-specific mutations revealed 55 heterozygotes that manifested clinical symptoms of different severity. To examine the contribution of X-inactivation skewing to disease manifestation in Fabry heterozygotes, we have adopted the Mainz severity scoring scheme and compared the score values with the X-inactivation status in 39 carriers in an age-dependent manner. The age-score trendline of Fabry females who had a predominantly inactivated X-chromosome bearing a wild-type GLA allele (10 of 38 females) was markedly steeper than in the rest of the cohort. One female carrier with an inactivated mutated allele had a low score value when compared to the other heterozygotes of the same age. These data suggest that X-inactivation is indeed a major factor determining the severity of clinical involvement in Fabry heterozygotes. There was a statistically significant difference between the severity score values of heterozygotes with random and non-random X-chromosome inactivation at the 5% level of significance. Further studies will show if the degree of the wildtype allele inactivation will be useful as a predictive marker of severity of phenotype in Fabry heterozygotes. Although the correlation between X-inactivation skewing and presentation of the disease in Fabry heterozygotes has previously been suggested in the literature, this report is among the first attempts to examine this relationship systematically.
