    Abstract Geriatric syndromes are a group of medical conditions, such as cognitive impairment, delirium, frailty, dizziness, syncope, and incontinence, associated with age increase. Many studies have reported a higher mortality rate for older COVID-19 patients, which could be explained by the complications of COVID-19, including the components of geriatric syndromes. We read with great interest the paper "Prevalence of unwillingness and uncertainty to vaccinate against COVID-19 in older people: A systematic review and meta-analysis" by Nicola Veronese et al. Their valuable work determines how uncertainty and unwillingness towards receiving the COVID-19 vaccine are more prevalent among older adults and how this hesitancy could affect vaccine uptake, and ultimately, the mortality rate. Regarding this paper, we wish to address some points.

    Abstract Abstract Background Although cardiac calcifications are described in the literature, calcification of atria is less frequently reported. There have been few case studies about atrial wall calcification in the literature, most of which were in middle-age females and were attributable to chronic heart diseases including rheumatic heart disease and valve replacement. In majority of the reported cases, interatrial septum has been spared. Only one case of bilateral atrial wall calcification has been reported prior to the current report, which has been in a patient with renal failure, calciphylaxis and long-term haemodialysis and calcium supplement intake. Case presentation The patient was a 57-year-old female with history of rheumatic valvular heart disease and two prior valve replacement surgeries. She didn’t have any history of renal function impairment and haemodialysis or calcium supplements intake. Her laboratory data showed anaemia, increased cardiac biomarkers and active urinalysis. Performed echocardiography showed moderate right ventricular dilation with relatively poor contraction, normal left ventricular size and contraction, dilated right and left atria and good prosthetic valve function. On computed tomography (CT) scan, calcification of left atrial posterior and free walls, interatrial septum and right atrial free wall were noted. Evidence of hepatic congestion and cirrhosis was seen in abdominal CT scan and ultrasonography. Conclusion Atrial wall calcification is a rare finding but is important to report since it can complicate cardiac surgeries. It's also probable that this kind of dystrophic calcification could not be detected during routine echocardiography and CT scan should be performed in suspected cases.

    Abstract Purpose: To evaluate the incidence of unplanned return to the operating room following vitreoretinal surgery and assess the reasons.
    Methods: In this retrospective case series, medical records of all patients who underwent vitreoretinal surgery were reviewed to determine the incidence and reasons of early (<30 days postoperatively) and late (≥30 days postoperatively) unplanned reoperations after the surgery.
    Results: A total of 488 eyes of 468 patients with a mean age of 55.84 ± 18.23 years were included. Fourteen percent (68/488) of eyes required one or more unplanned reoperation following their primary surgery. These include 3.9% (19/488) for the early and 10.0% (49/488) for the late reoperation. The most common primary reason for baseline surgery was rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) without proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR, 38.2%), followed by RD with PVR (23.5%), and tractional RD (TRD, 19.1%). Unplanned reoperations were most common in RD with PVR (19.3%), RRD without PVR (17.2%), and TRD (14.4%). Overall, the most common reasons of the first unplanned reoperation were repeated RD with PVR (27.9%), repeated RD (19.1%), and the presence of silicone oil (SO) in the anterior chamber (AC) (10.3%). For early unplanned reoperations, SO in AC, postoperative endophthalmitis, and persistent hyphema were the most common causes. Repeated RD with PVR was the most prevalent cause of late unplanned reoperations (34.7%). In the multivariate analysis, preoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was significantly lower in eyes with unplanned reoperation than in eyes without (
    Conclusions: Unplanned reoperation following vitreoretinal surgery is not very common, and occurs mostly in the setting of PVR, RRD, and TRD. Lower preoperative BCVA may indicate an increased chance of future unplanned reoperation(s).

    Abstract Background: Corona virus infectious pandemic makes outdoors rehabilitation a potential hazard. Patient education to perform simple home-based exercises seems to be an interesting and sometimes a mandatory option. This study provides a comparison between the conventional and home-based virtual rehabilitation after surgical repair of medial meniscus root tears.
    Methods: In this prospective study, all patients who underwent medial meniscus posterior root repair with a modified trans-tibial pull-out technique from March 2019 to March 2021 were evaluated. Those who underwent surgery after December 2019 were trained to perform self-rehabilitation. The rest had undergone outdoors specialized rehabilitation according to a unified protocol and these were used as a historical control group. All patients were followed up for a minimum of 2 year after surgery. Final Lysholm scores were utilized to compare functional outcomes after considering the effect of age, body mass index and time from surgery by multivariate linear regression analysis.
    Results: Forty-three consecutive patients with medial meniscal root tears were studied. Thirty-nine (90.7%) were women and 4 (9.3%) were men. The mean age of participants was 53.2 ± 8.1 years. The total Lysholm knee score, and all its items were significantly improved in both groups at a two-year follow-up (p < 0.05), except the "Using cane or crutches" item (p = 0.065). Nevertheless, the final Lysholm knee score improvement was higher in patients who performed outdoors specialized rehabilitation and in patients with shorter time-to-surgery.
    Conclusion: Regardless of age and gender, home-based rehabilitation after meniscal root repair with the modified trans-tibial pull-out technique improved the patients' function at a two-year follow-up. Nonetheless, this effect was still significantly lower than that of the outdoors specialized rehabilitation. Future work is required to clarify basic protocols for home-based tele-rehabilitation programs and determine clinical, radiological and functional results.
    Level of evidence: Level IV, therapeutic, historically controlled study.
