Arthroscopic Autologous Minced Cartilage Implantation of Cartilage Defects in the Knee: A 2-Year Follow-up of 62 Patients.

Background: Symptomatic cartilage defects of the knee joint are frequently diagnosed and can be treated with different available surgical methods. Nevertheless, there is currently no gold standard treatment for all indications. Minced cartilage implantation is increasingly coming into focus as a refined surgical technique.

"Awake" Cannulation of Patients for Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygen: An Analysis of the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization Registry.

Importance: "Awake" cannulation for venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), where patients remain spontaneously breathing without invasive mechanical ventilation during the cannulation procedure, may reduce lung injury from positive pressure ventilation and promote patient mobility.

Objectives: To examine the association between "awake" cannulation for venovenous ECMO and patient outcomes.

Design, Setting, And Participants: Analysis of the prospectively collected by the multicenter Extracorporeal Life Support Organization registry.

Patient-Reported Outcomes After Arthroscopic Superior Capsule Reconstruction With an Acellular Porcine Dermal Xenograft for Irreparable Rotator Cuff Tears.

Background: Currently, there is no consensus on the adequate management of irreparable rotator cuff tears. Arthroscopic superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) seems to be an alternative treatment option.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate patient-reported outcomes up to 2 years after the treatment of irreparable rotator cuff tears with SCR using an acellular porcine dermal xenograft.

Experiential Learning with Ketamine: A Mixed-Methods Exploratory Study on Prescription and Perception.

Background: Incorporating unfamiliar therapies into practice requires effective longitudinal learning and the optimal way to achieve this is debated. Though not a novel therapy, ketamine in critical care has a paucity of data and variable acceptance, with limited research describing intensivist perceptions and utilization. The Coronavirus-19 pandemic presented a particular crisis where providers rapidly adapted analgosedation strategies to achieve prolonged, deep sedation due to a surge of severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).

Venovenous Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Candidacy Decision-Making: Lessons and Hypotheses From a Single-Center Observational Analysis.

Background: Use of venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is increasing, but candidacy selection processes are variable and subject to bias.

Research Question: What are the reasons behind venovenous ECMO candidacy decisions, and are decisions made consistently across patients?

Study Design And Methods: Prospective observational study of all patients, admitted or outside hospital referrals, considered for venovenous ECMO at a tertiary referral center. Relevant clinical data and reasons for candidacy determination were cross-referenced with other noncandidates and candidates and were assessed qualitatively.
