Objective: To evaluate the association between limb symmetry index (LSI) in quadriceps and hamstrings strength together with hop tests, as a proxy of recovery, and the deviation from being symmetrical (LSI 100%), with a safe return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R).
Methods: Athletes between 15 and 30 years old with a preinjury Tegner activity level ≥6 were eligible for inclusion. Data were extracted from a rehabilitation-specific registry, Project ACL (Gothenburg, Sweden) at the time of or after RTS for each athlete.
Background: In the phase 3 SOLSTICE study (NCT02931539), maribavir was superior to investigator-assigned therapy (IAT) for confirmed cytomegalovirus viremia clearance at study week 8 in hematopoietic cell/solid organ transplant (HCT/SOT) recipients. We report additional efficacy and safety analyses from the SOT subgroup.
Methods: Eligible SOT recipients (n=211) received maribavir 400 mg twice daily (n=142) or IAT (n=69) for 8 weeks (12 weeks' follow-up).
Background: Postoperative morbidity can reduce quality of life, physical performance, and tolerability of postoperative chemotherapy in patients with colorectal liver metastases (CRLM). Exercise can improve these outcomes in some cancer populations. However, it remains unknown whether exercise can be delivered in the early postoperative period following surgery for CRLM without increasing the risk of harms.

- Sarcopenia, a loss of muscle mass and strength, is linked to higher postop complications in cancer patients, but diagnostic standards vary, complicating effective use in clinical settings.
- This study involved 134 patients set for pancreatic surgeries, assessing body composition and muscle strength using various methods (like CT and DXA scans) to classify them as sarcopenic.
- Results showed that 7% of patients classified as sarcopenic via international standards faced more major complications, indicating the importance of consistent diagnostic criteria in predicting surgical outcomes.
Background: The relationship between hamstring strength and hop performance after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring tendon (HT) autografts has not been well elucidated. The aim was to investigate the relationship between eccentric hamstring strength, assessed with the NordBord, and concentric hamstring strength, assessed with the Biodex, with hop performance at 8 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction.
Methods: Registry study.
