Objective: Objective of this study is to evaluate the association between high risk of depression and metabolic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia in Korean cervical cancer patients. Methods: A total of 330 women with cervical cancer were included in this study, using data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2010 to 2021. Participants were categorized into two groups—high risk of depression and non-depression—based on their answers to survey items related to depression. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the influence of metabolic diseases on high risk of depression in patients with cervical cancer. Results: A total of 78 (23.64%) and 252 (76.36%) women were classified into the high risk of depression and non-depression groups, respectively. In multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, menopausal status, and smoking status, diabetes was associated with an odds ratio of 2.47 (95% confidence interval: 1.205, 5.071) for high risk of depression in cervical cancer patients. However, among the metabolic diseases, hypertension, and dyslipidemia were not associated with high risk of depression in patients with cervical cancer. Conclusion This study suggests that diabetes may be associated with a increased risk of high risk of depression in cervical cancer patients. Therefore, appropriate treatment of diabetes in cervical cancer patients may contribute to lowering the risk of depression in the future.

Purpose: This study investigated the clinical and radiologic outcomes of partial trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty with a suture button for thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis over a 2-year follow-up period. Methods: This retrospective study involved 17 patients with thumb CMC joint osteoarthritis (Eaton and Littler stage II or III) treated with partial trapeziectomy and suspensionplasty using a suture button. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using a visual analog scale for pain, the Quick DASH score, pinch and grip strength, and thumb range of motion. The trapezial space ratio (TSR) was used as a radiologic parameter to evaluate radiologic outcomes immediately postoperatively, at 6 months, and at the final follow-up. Results: The study included 17 patients (female, 16 and male, 1) with an average age of 63.2 years (range, 56–70 years). Surgery was performed on the dominant hand in nine cases and the nondominant hand in eight. Significant improvements were observed in clinical outcomes. The TSR significantly decreased up to 6 months postoperatively, but there was no significant change from 6 months onward. Complications included button irritation (n=1), a metacarpal fracture (n=1), and flexor carpi radialis tendon rupture (n=1), which were subsequently treated. At the last follow-up, significant improvements in functional outcomes were observed in comparison to the preoperative status. Conclusion The procedure demonstrated significantly improved clinical outcomes over a 2-year follow-up. This method is less invasive than other surgical techniques because it preserves part of the trapezium, making it a favorable surgical option in patients with early basal thumb arthritis (below Eaton stage III).
