Introduction: The progression of diabetes status in post-stroke patients remains under-investigated, particularly regarding new treatments for type II diabetes mellitus (DM II), like glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1-RA) and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, which have not been studied in the post-stroke setting.
Patients And Methods: Eight hundred eighty-four consecutive ischemic stroke patients recruited to our prospective STROKE-CARD Registry were assessed concerning their glycemic status at baseline (normoglycemia, prediabetes, DM II) and change over time within 1 year follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with transitioning from normoglycemia to prediabetes or DM II.
Background: There are limited evidence-based guidelines to predict which osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesions will heal with nonoperative treatment.
Purpose: To train a set of classification algorithms to predict nonoperative OCD healing while identifying new clinically meaningful predictors.
Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is among adolescents in Western Austria and its relationship with arterial stiffness, which indicates early vascular ageing.
- Researchers examined liver fat content in 1,292 Austrian adolescents using advanced ultrasound technology and measured arterial stiffness through a specific pulse wave measurement, alongside assessing various cardiovascular risk factors.
- While MASLD was identified in 4.8% of the participants, the results indicated that liver fat and MASLD were not strong independent predictors of early vascular ageing; however, knowing liver fat levels can help identify adolescents at risk for cardiovascular issues.
Article Synopsis
- Gas gangrene is a severe, often deadly infection caused by Clostridial species, typically arising from injuries, with rare cases of spontaneous infection associated with Clostridium septicum and linked to bowel issues or immune deficiencies.
- A case study details a 71-year-old woman who experienced sudden swelling and pain in her left forearm, leading to emergency surgeries after being diagnosed with C. septicum bacteremia, but ultimately lost function in her arm and required amputation.
- The case emphasizes the critical need for prompt diagnosis and urgent surgical treatment of Clostridial myonecrosis to improve chances of survival.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury in Skeletally Immature Patients.
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
October 2024
The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury continues to increase in the skeletally immature population. These injuries were historically treated with nonsurgical measures in this age group due to concerns for iatrogenic damage to the physis during ACL reconstruction. However, delayed surgery often led to recurrent instability, meniscal tears, and chondral damage.
