Article Synopsis
- Cure Violence interruption programs, like 414LIFE in Milwaukee, aim to reduce gun violence by reaching high-risk individuals and neighborhoods.
- The study analyzed the "reach" of 414LIFE through descriptive and geospatial methods, focusing on gunshot wound patients under 36 during a specific timeframe.
- Findings showed that 75.4% of referred patients met the program criteria, with significant clustering in priority neighborhoods, highlighting the program's effectiveness in targeting the right demographics.
Introduction: Currently there is no consensus on the need for investigating knee ligamentous and meniscal injuries in a patient with a tibial plateau fracture. Consequently, many soft tissue injuries are likely undiagnosed and therefore untreated. The impact this has on long term knee outcomes is not well defined.

The process by which repair enzymes such as thymine DNA glycosylase (TDG) identify a canonical DNA base in the incorrect pairing context remains a mystery. However, the abundant contacts of the repair enzymes with the DNA backbone suggest a role for protein-phosphate interaction in the recognition and repair processes, where conformational properties may facilitate the proper interactions.

The aim of this study was to compare the clinical results of the bone bridge and soft tissue techniques for lateral MAT in terms of failure, re-operation rate, complications and patient reported outcomes.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data for patients undergoing primary lateral MAT with a minimum of 12-month follow-up.
Background: Health care workers are often uncertain of the role of law enforcement personnel in the resuscitation bay. A cross-sectional, quality improvement project was designed with an educational intervention to address the knowledge gaps.
Methods: There were 2 sessions for trauma surgery and emergency medicine faculty, residents, and staff.
