The secondary outcomes were complications, postoperative pain, radiographic outcome, and functional score. All patients were followed up for at least 1 year after the surgery.\u0000Results: Thirty-one patients were enrolled in this study. Their mean age was 58.5 years, and the fractures were mainly caused by low-energy trauma. No postoperative complications were reported, and no readmission after surgery was observed.

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of eating disorders and their associated factors among undergraduate students.\u0000Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted among 624 undergraduate students from three different universities in Malaysia. Eating disorders was assessed using the Malay version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) while the emotional disturbances was assessed by the Malay version of Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and perceived social support was assessed by the revised Malay version of The 8-item Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS).\u0000Results: The prevalence of eating disorders among students was 14.9%. There were significant differences in terms of gender and other socio-demographic factors. Eating disorders were significantly associated and positively correlated with emotional disturbances level r = 0.37. While inverse correlation between social support and eating disorders was also shown r= -0.13. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that emotional disturbances level (β = 0.212, P = 0.000) and poor social support (β = -0.126, P = 0.002) were a significantly important risk factor.\u0000Conclusion: Eating disorders are prevalent among undergraduate students, female students, emotional disturbances and high BMI are significantly associated factors.

Therefore, this study aims to provide a bibliometric assessment of results on social support in quality of life in breast cancer patients. The studies for the dataset were selected from Scopus published in the year 2001–2021 based on their relevancy to the established subjects. The VOSviewer software was used for bibliometric analysis to represent the performance of publications covering annual outputs, mainstream journals leading countries, institutions, research tendencies, and hotspots. The analysis of the findings indicated only 45 articles over the range of 2001-2021. The highest number of publications was published in 2021, and the lowest was in 2002-2004 and 2006. Social support strongly correlates with the psychological adjustment of adherence to cancer treatment. Only one study failed to find an association between social support and suicide after a cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile, China, the United States, and Hong Kong contributed to social support.

The higher types of ARM had higher rectal stricture rates. In low type ARM, the stricture rate following surgery for perineal fistula, vestibular fistula was 4.1% and 14.7%, respectively.

The operation for low type ARM using local tissue flap, such as YV and cutback anoplasty, had low complications. More complicated operations were performed for higher type ARM. The higher the complication rate, the higher the post-operative rectal stricture. Routine rectal dilatation by parents seemed to prevent rectal strictures (p = 0.056).

LR-HPV 6 and 11 are the HPV types that were reported to be associated with AGW. However, data specific to the HPV types that associate with AGW in Thailand are scarce. Accordingly, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of HPV in patients with AGW, and to investigate for association between HPV types and AGW among Thai males attending the sexually transmitted disease clinic of Siriraj Hospital – Thailand’s largest national tertiary referral center.\u0000Materials and Methods: This prospective study was conducted at the Department of Dermatology, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand during April 2017 to December 2019. Thai males with at least one AGW were included. AGW specimens were obtained, and HPV genotyping was performed at both the genital and perianal areas.\u0000Results: A total of 43 Thai male participants (mean age: 37.3±13.8 years; range: 19-72) with AGW were enrolled. The rate of HPV positive detection at the genital area and the perianal area was 86.0% and 72.1%, respectively. The most common HPV types at the genital area were HPV 6, followed by HPV 11. Alternatively, the most common HPV types at the perianal area were HPV 11, followed by HPV 6.\u0000Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest LR-HPV types 6 and 11 as the culprit pathogenic causes of AGW among males in Thailand.
