    Abstract Study design: Retrospective cohort study.
    Objective: To investigate the impact of long symptom duration (>24 mo) on patient self-reported outcomes for pain, function, and quality of life following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for cervical radiculopathy.
    Summary of background data: ACDF is an effective treatment to relieve the symptoms of cervical radiculopathy. However, there is no consensus on whether prolonged preoperative length of symptoms negatively impacts postoperative outcomes.
    Methods: This study included consecutive patients who underwent ACDF for cervical radiculopathy from May 1, 2012 to Dec 1, 2019 by a single surgeon. Patients were stratified by short (<24 mo) and long (>24 mo) duration of symptoms. Outcomes including visual analog scale (VAS) neck and arm, neck disability index (NDI), EuroQol-5D (EQ-5D), and overall state of health (EQ-VAS) were compared between cohort both for absolute values and percentage of patients achieving minimal clinically important difference.
    Results: A total of 111 consecutive patients were included in our study, including 59 patients in the short symptom duration group and 52 patients in the long symptom duration group. The mean age of the patients was 51.4±9.4 and 41 (36.9%) were female. The baseline VAS neck and arm, NDI, EQ-5D, and EQ-VAS were similar between groups. Patients in both long and short symptom duration groups had clinical improvement following surgery. However, patients with short symptom duration had better VAS Neck and EQ-5D outcomes, and were more likely to meet minimal clinically important difference for NDI, EQ-5D, or any outcome. Multivariate analysis confirmed symptom duration <24 months as an independent predictor for better patient-reported outcomes.
    Conclusion: We appreciated better clinical outcomes in patients with shorter symptom duration who received ACDF for cervical radiculopathy. On the basis of this data, we advocate for prompt treatment of cervical radiculopathy to avoid the potential for long-term impairment.
    Level of evidence: Level 3.

    Abstract We aimed to estimate the absolute and age-standardized number of hip fractures in Sweden during the past two decades to produce time trends and future projections. We used nationwide register data from 1998 to 2019 and a validated algorithm to calculate the annual absolute and age-standardized number of incident hip fractures over time. The total hip fracture burden was 335,399 incident events over the 22 years, with a change from 16,180 in 1998 to 13,929 in 2019, a 14% decrease. One decade after the index hip fracture event, 80% of the patients had died, and 11% had a new hip fracture. After considering the steady growth of the older population, the decline in the age-standardized number of hip fractures from 1998 through 2019 was 29.2% (95% CI 28.1-30.2%) in women and 29.3% (95% CI 27.5-30.7%) in men. With a continued similar reduction in hip fracture incidence, we can predict that 14,800 hip fractures will occur in 2034 and 12,000 in 2050 despite doubling the oldest old (≥ 80 years). Without an algorithm, a naïve estimate of the total number of hip fractures over the study period was 539,947, with a second 10-year hip fracture risk of 35%. We note an ongoing decline in the absolute and age-standardized actual number of hip fractures in Sweden, with consequences for future projections.

    Abstract Background: Facilitatory and inhibitory conditioned pain modulation (CPM) responses are observed in healthy volunteers and chronic pain patients, but the clinical implications for phenotyping are unknown. This study aimed to subgroup and compare chronic knee pain patients according to their CPM responses.
    Methods: This explorative, cross-sectional study included 127 patients with chronic knee pain (osteoarthritis or following total knee arthroplasty). Individual CPM responses were categorized as facilitatory (test stimuli pain intensity increased when conditioning stimuli were applied), as inhibitory (test stimuli pain intensity decreased) or as no change (defined as less than 5.3% change in pain intensity). Outcomes were clinical pain intensities, temporal summation, widespread pain, self-reported physical function, PainDETECT questionnaire and Pain Quality Assessment Scale. Data were analysed as comparisons between the inhibitory and the facilitatory groups and using multivariate linear regression models.
    Results: Fifty-four patients had facilitatory CPM responses, 49 had inhibitory CPM responses, and 24 showed no change in CPM response. A between-group difference was observed for self-reported physical function, with the facilitatory CPM group reporting better function (54.4 vs. 46.0, p = 0.028) and the facilitatory CPM group reported more deep pain sensations (3.2 vs. 2.0, p = 0.021). The remaining outcomes showed no between-group differences. Higher clinical pain intensity and facilitated temporal summation were associated in the facilitated CPM group but not in the inhibitory CPM group.
    Conclusion: These explorative findings indicated that quantitative clinical and experimental differences exist between facilitatory or inhibitory CPM responses in a chronic knee pain patient population. Differences in patients' CPM responses should be further investigated to unravel possible clinical importance.
    Significance: Our findings confirm that conditioned pain modulation consist of inhibitory and facilitatory responders among a patient population with chronic knee pain. This explorative study indicates that patients with either facilitatory or inhibitory conditioned pain modulation could exhibit differences in pain outcomes. Subgrouping of chronic pain patients depending on individual conditioned pain modulation responses could be considered in phenotyping patients prior to inclusion in clinical trials or used for personalizing the management regime.

    Abstract Pheochromocytoma is a tumor that originates from the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and is responsible for the production of catecholamines. However, when it occurs outside the adrenal glands, it is called a paraganglioma and accounts for 10%-15% of cases. In this report, we present the case of a 27-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension, who presented hematuria and dizziness on urination with a diagnosis of bladder paraganglioma. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography revealed the presence of a bladder tumor. Bladder paraganglioma is a rare condition, and understanding possible imaging findings is crucial to raising suspicion of this diagnosis and expanding our knowledge of this rare disease.

    Abstract Malaria is a parasitic disease distributed in tropical areas but with a high number of imported cases in non-endemic countries. The most specific and sensitive malaria diagnostic methods are PCR and LAMP. However, both require specific equipment, extraction procedures and a cold chain. This study aims to solve some limitations of LAMP method with the optimization and validation of six LAMP assays, genus and species-specific, using an easy and fast extraction method, the incorporation of a reaction control assay, two ways (Dual) of result reading and reagent lyophilization. The Dual-LAMP assays were validated against the Nested-Multiplex Malaria PCR. A conventional column and saline extraction methods, and the use of lyophilized reaction tubes were also assessed. A new reaction control Dual-LAMP-RC assay was designed. Dual-LAMP-

    Abstract Background: Contact tracing (CT) is a key strategy when dealing with outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19. The scale of the COVID-19 pandemic has often left public health professionals (PHPs), who are responsible for the execution of CT, unable to keep up with the rapid and largescale spread of the virus. To enhance or support its execution, and potentially lower the workload for PHPs, citizens may be more actively involved in CT-tasks that are commonly executed by PHPs (referred to as 'self-led CT'). There is limited insight into citizens' perspectives on and needs for self-led CT for COVID-19. This study aims to explore the perspectives and needs of Dutch citizens on taking more responsibilities in the execution of CT for COVID-19, potentially through the use of digital tools.
    Methods: An exploratory qualitative study was performed, in which online semi-structured interviews were conducted. Questions were based on the Reasoned Action Approach and Health Belief Model. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. A thematic analysis was conducted to identify citizens' perspectives and needs to participate in self-led CT.
    Results: We conducted 27 interviews with Dutch citizens. Seven main themes were identified from the interviews: 1) 'Citizens' perspectives on self-led CT are influenced by prior experiences with regular CT', 2) 'Citizens' felt responsibilities and the perceived responsibilities of the PHS in CT shape their perspectives on self-led CT', 3) 'Anticipated impacts of self-led CT on the CT-process', 4) 'Citizens' attitude towards the application of self-led CT depends on their own perceived skills and the willingness and skills of others', 5) 'Shame and social stigma may hamper participation in self-led CT', 6) 'Concerns about privacy and data security: a barrier for self-led CT', and 7) 'Citizens' perspectives and anticipated needs for the implementation and application of self-led CT in practice'.
    Conclusions: Most interviewees hold a positive attitude towards self-led CT and using digital tools for this purpose. However, their intention for self-led CT may depend on various factors, such as prior experiences with regular CT, and their perceived self-efficacy to participate. Perspectives and needs of citizens should be considered for the future implementation of self-led CT in practice.
