Nanomedicines Reprogram Synovial Macrophages by Scavenging Nitric Oxide and Silencing CA9 in Progressive Osteoarthritis
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive joint disease characterized by inflammation and cartilage destruction, and its progression is closely related to imbalances in the M1/M2 synovial macrophages. A two-pronged strategy for the regulation of intracellular/extracellular nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen protons for reprogra...

The Amsterdam wrist rules: the multicenter prospective derivation and external validation of a clinical decision rule for the use of radiography in acute wrist trauma Background
Distal Radius Fractures
Although only 39 % of patients with wrist trauma have sustained a fracture, the majority of patients is routinely referred for radiography. The purpose of this study was to derive and externally validate a clinical decision rule that selects patients with acute wrist trauma in the Emergency Department (ED) for radiogra...

The relative benefits of tamoxifen in older women with T1 early-stage breast cancer treated with breast-conserving surgery and radiation therapy
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Small, hormone receptor-positive breast carcinomas in older women are associated with low local recurrence rates. The relative benefits of adjuvant hormonal therapy remain unclear in elderly women with small, node-negative breast cancer after breast-conserving surgery and adjuvant radiation therapy. From our institutio...

Nutritionally deficient streptococci: electron microscopic study of 14 strains isolated in bacterial endocarditis
Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures
Fourteen strains of nutritionally deficient streptococci were isolated from patients with bacterial endocarditis and observed by light and electron microscopy. In brain-heart infusion broth supplemented wit Isovitalex, they could be distributed into three morphological groups in which numerous abnormalities involving s...

Stage classifications, types of joint destruction, and bone scintigraphy in Charcot joint disease
Management of Hip Fractures in the Elderly
The histories of 36 Charcot joints (including four fractures) in 22 patients were investigated and a new stage classification system (Stage I-III) was introduced. Scintiscanning showed the uptake magnitude of radioactive substance in the Charcot lesions ranged from 6-22 times that of normal areas

An algorithmic approach for managing orthopaedic surgical wounds of the foot and ankle
DoD SSI (Surgical Site Infections)
BACKGROUND: Wound breakdown after orthopaedic foot and ankle surgery may necessitate secondary soft tissue coverage. The foot and ankle region is challenging to reconstruct for orthopaedic and plastic surgeons owing to its complex bony anatomy and unique functional demands. Therefore, identifying strategies for plastic...

Role of nonoperative treatment in managing degenerative tears of the medial meniscus posterior root
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
BACKGROUND: Tears of the medial meniscus posterior root can lead to progressive arthritis, and its management has no consensus. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of supervised exercise therapy on patients with medial meniscus posterior root tears. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2005 and May 2007, ...

Common hand injuries in the athlete
Diagnosis and Treatment of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome CPG
Common injuries to the hand and wrist of athletes have been discussed under the headings of ligament injuries, fractures, tendon injuries, and neurovascular injuries. Although the frequency and mechanisms of certain injuries may be different in the athlete than in the nonathlete, the principles of proper early diagnosi...

What is the optimal treatment of atrophic scaphoid non-union?
Distal Radius Fractures
Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of the treatment method of autogenous iliac wing or radius bone graft and fixation with screw applied to cases of scaphoid non-union. Material and Method: A retrospective evaluation was made of 89 cases between 2000 and 2014. Postoperative measurements were taken of both wristsâ?? movement...

The incidence of bacteraemia associated with tracheal intubation
Prevention of Orthopaedic Implant Infection in Patients Undergoing Dental Procedures
Expert committees on bacterial endocarditis prophylaxis have provided differing opinions on whether tracheal intubation is an 'at-risk' manipulation. We studied the incidence of bacteraemia after orotracheal and nasotracheal intubation. The study group comprised 110 patients who underwent surgery under general anaesthe...

Hepatobiliary rickets
The Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures AUC
Rickets secondary to hepatobiliary disease is a rare condition; however, the skeletal manifestations are similar to simple nutritional rickets. These skeletal changes include epiphyseal plate abnormalities, pseudofractures, bowing of long bones, scoliosis, and fractures. One-hundred and twelve charts and radiographs of...

Critical care management of adults with community-acquired severe respiratory viral infection
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
With the expanding use of molecular assays, viral pathogens are increasingly recognized among critically ill adult patients with community-acquired severe respiratory illness; studies have detected respiratory viral infections (RVIs) in 17-53% of such patients. In addition, novel pathogens including zoonotic coronaviru...

Wnt Pathway in Bone Repair and Regeneration - What Do We Know So Far
TO: WNT2 Pathway Modulator
Wnt signaling plays a central regulatory role across a remarkably diverse range of functions during embryonic development, including those involved in the formation of bone and cartilage. Wnt signaling continues to play a critical role in adult osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells. Disruptions in this h...

Effects of denosumab in patients with bone metastases with and without previous bisphosphonate exposure
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Bone metastases place patients at increased risk of skeletal-related events (SREs), including pathologic fractures, spinal cord compression, severe pain requiring radiotherapy or surgery, and hypercalcemia, because of increased osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Denosumab, a fully human monoclonal antibody, decreases...

Breast reduction with use of the free nipple graft technique
Reduction Mammoplasty for Female Breast Hypertrophy
In properly selected patients, the results of free nipple graft breast reduction may be equal or superior to a pedicle technique. A free nipple graft is clearly indicated for gigantomastia, but it is also useful in severe macromastia, when a large, bulky pedicle may impede adequate reduction and optimal contour, and in...
