    Despite the effectiveness of total knee arthroplasty (TKA; knee replacement surgery), patients often have lingering pain and dysfunction. Recent studies have raised concerns that preoperative mental health may negatively affect outcomes after TKA. The primary aim of this study from Melnic et al. investigates the relationship between patient-reported mental health and postoperative physical function following TKA. The study found that poor mental health should not be a contraindication for performing TKA. For patients with the lowest mental health scores, physicians should account for the possibility that physical function scores may deteriorate a year after surgery. Tighter follow-up guidelines, more frequent physical therapy visits, or treatment for mental health issues may be considered to counter such deterioration.

    At Cromwell Hospital’s Long Covid Clinic, a multidisciplinary team of consultants are learning lessons from the virus. Dr Brian O’Connor, a consultant in respiratory medicine, and consultant psychiatrist Dr Rajeev Dhar are part of the multidisciplinary Long Covid team at Cromwell Hospital. “We established the clinic because, between the various consultants, we recognised we had an increasing number of mutual patients who had symptoms that didn’t add up,” he explains. “You’d have patients with psychological symptoms, such as low-grade levels of anxiety and depression, but they would also display odd physical symptoms such as palpitations or breathlessness when they lay down.” The collaboration between consultants across the fields of respiratory medicine, cardiology, neurology and psychiatry has allowed them to pool information and recognise symptom patterns quickly. Both Dr O’Connor and Dr Dhar believe the holistic, multidisciplinary treatment being delivered at the clinic could have a longer-term effect — one that involves a fundamental change in attitudes and perspective. “Medicine often focuses on treating symptoms,” Dr Dhar explains, “but long Covid has made us think about how we help people to function better. Our approach is now focused on how people are functioning, because that tells us how well we’re managing the symptoms.”

    2020/2021 has been challenging for healthcare worker. We went from hearing the rumours of an outbreak of some kind of disease halfway across the world to upwards of 2 million infected and 125,000 dead with little known about the virus. Approximately 12%–19% of those infected will require hospitalisation and 3–6% will become critically ill. These patients are at high risk of cardiac arrest. Even during a pandemic, the care of patients in our healthcare facilities must continue. Resuscitation is especially challenging in the presence of or the assumption of COVID-19. This article from the ACLS Training Center pulls together the recommendations of some of the top experts in resuscitation and infection control in the world.

    This report, Long COVID and speech and language therapy, looks at the mid to long-term speech and language therapy needs of people with Long COVID, the impact these difficulties have on people’s lives and the essential role that speech and language therapy plays in supporting them. Published by the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT), authors conclude: "The RCSLT firmly believes that any person with a communication or swallowing difficulty has a right to access high quality speech and language therapy when and where they need it. Any person with such needs after COVID-19 must receive timely, individual, person-centred rehabilitation, which will support and maximise their mental health and wellbeing, participation in society, and ability to return to work." To achieve this, the report sets out a number of recommendations at national, system and workforce levels. They also set out recommendations for raising awareness to the wider public.

    This article, published in the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery e-book, explores the multimodal approach to improve overall patient recovery after surgery. The idea of implementing specific interventions throughout the perioperative period to improve patient recovery has been proven to be beneficial. Whereas many approaches to enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) implementation may seem straightforward, careful advanced planning, multiple stakeholder involvement, and addressing other contextual constraints are needed if there is to be improvement.

    Symptoms involving almost every organ system have been reported after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Estimates of the prevalence of long covid (also called post-covid-19 condition, post-acute sequelae of covid-19, or chronic covid syndrome) vary considerably, partly because of confusion around the definition. The term long covid encompasses a broad range of symptoms, including objective complications of covid-19 (pulmonary fibrosis, myocardial dysfunction), mental health conditions, and more subjective, non-specific symptoms resembling those seen in post-viral chronic fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis). Most studies to date have substantial limitations, including small cohorts, absence of control groups, non-standardised capture of symptoms, lack of correction for pre-existing medical conditions, participant reported infection, and variation in follow-up, as well as selection, non-response, misclassification, and recall biases. In children and adolescents, acute Covid-19 is less severe than in adults. Concern among many parents has therefore focused more on the potential long term effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Unfortunately, fewer data are available on long covid in young people compared with adults.

    These resources from Queen Margaret University, Edinburgh were developed following a study funded by the Chief Scientist Office in Scotland. The study was based on an online survey which people completed between July and August 2020, followed by a further survey six months later. Some participants also took part in a telephone interview to enhance understanding of their responses. The study used the responses of people living with Long Covid to: develop a resource with advice for people accessing services for Long Covid. write guidance for people providing services relevant to people with Long Covid. write recommendations to inform policy and service design that relate to Long Covid and other impacts of the pandemic. plan a series of short podcasts, interviewing people who have lived experience of Long Covid.

    The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) has partnered with the anti-smoking charity ASH (Action on Smoking and Health) to support surgeons in encouraging patients to improve their survival chances by quitting smoking ahead of surgery. Fewer postoperative complications, shorter hospital stays and better long-term outcomes are some of the evidence-based benefits the College’s members are being asked to highlight to patients. The campaign urges all surgeons to view patient consultations as ‘teachable moments’, during which patients may be more receptive to intervention and more motivated to quit. As part of the discussion of risks associated with a procedure, surgeons should outline the reduction in risk associated with smoking cessation, with the recommendation to stop at least two months before the operation.

    There is currently limited information on clinical severity phenotypes of symptoms and functional disability in post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID) Syndrome (PCS). A370 PCS patients from a dedicated community COVID-19 rehabilitation service was assessed using the COVID-19 Yorkshire Rehabilitation Scale where each symptom or functional difficulty was scored on a 0–10 Likert scale and also compared with before infection. Phenotypes based on symptom severity were extracted to identify any noticeable patterns. The correlation between symptom severity, functional disability, and overall health was explored.

    In this interview for Woman's Hour, Dr Nisreen Alwan, Associate Professor in Public Health at the University of Southampton, discusses the impact of Long Covid on her own life with presenter Emma Barnett. She also shares insights from research that suggests women, people of working age, people from areas of high social deprivation and frontline health and education workers are more likely to be affected by Long Covid. Dr Alwan talks about the need to manage Long Covid alongside daily activities and highlights new research that demonstrates that vaccines may reduce the incidence of the condition. The interview can be heard at 17:23-25:20 in the recording.

    In the wake of new variants and the relentless spread of Covid-19, understanding the complex nature of Long Covid is crucial. In this article, I aim to present useful information on the risk factors, plausible pathophysiological mechanisms and treatment of Long Covid. The obscure nature of Long Covid is a conundrum both for doctors and patients. To mitigate the burden of Long Covid, early identification of disease signs, appropriate treatment and timely access to rehabilitation care is vital. I believe that strengthening the 4 Rs (Reporting, Recognition, Rehabilitation and Research) through close collaboration between government organisations, pharmaceutical industries, patients and health care providers could reduce the impact of Long Covid.
