UK Foot and Ankle Thromboembolism (UK-FATE).

Aims: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a potential complication of foot and ankle surgery. There is a lack of agreement on contributing risk factors and chemical prophylaxis requirements. The primary outcome of this study was to analyze the 90-day incidence of symptomatic VTE and VTE-related mortality in patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery and Achilles tendon (TA) rupture.

The position, orientation, and relative size of the fibularis longus tubercle in normal patients: A weightbearing CT assessment.

The fibularis longus attaches to the base of the first metatarsal at the fibularis/peroneus longus tubercle (FLT/PLT). Theoretically, differences in FLT morphology may reflect changes in the function of the fibularis longus. This study defines the normal limits of the FLT position, orientation, and size in patients with morphologically normal foot anatomy.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features and Prognostic Indicators of Local Recurrence after Curettage and Cementation of Atypical Cartilaginous Tumour in the Appendicular Skeleton.

: The aim of this study is to determine MRI features that may be prognostic indicators of local recurrence (LR) in patients treated with curettage and cementation of atypical cartilaginous tumours (ACTs) in the appendicular skeleton. : This study is a retrospective review of adult patients with histologically confirmed appendicular ACT. The data collected included age, sex, skeletal location and histology from curettage, the presence of LR and oncological outcomes.

Metastatic bone disease: Early referral for multidisciplinary care.

It is estimated that more than half of all cancers develop bony metastases, exacting a substantial cost in terms of patient quality of life and healthcare expenses. Prompt diagnosis and management have been shown to reduce morbidity and costs. When a patient with a history of cancer presents with musculoskeletal pain, heightened awareness of the risk of bone metastasis should prompt immediate referral to an orthopedic specialist.

Soft tissue sarcoma: Recognizing a rare disease.

The recognition of a malignant soft tissue mass can be challenging, given the rarity of soft tissue sarcoma and the extensive overlap between benign and malignant presentations. Awareness of the signs and symptoms of soft tissue sarcoma in primary care practice ensures prompt referral to a sarcoma center for appropriate assessment and treatment to optimize outcomes.

MRI-histopathological correlation in paediatric conventional central chondrosarcoma: a report of 17 cases.

Objective: To describe the MRI features of paediatric conventional central chondrosarcoma (CC-CS) and correlate with histological grade.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of children/adolescents with histologically confirmed CC-CS. Data collected included age, sex, skeletal location, and histology from needle biopsy or resection, which was classified as atypical cartilaginous tumours/grade 1 CS (ACT/Gd 1 CS), high-grade chondrosarcoma (HGCS), and dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma (DD-CS).

The Influence of Ageing and Gender in Musculoskeletal Stem Cell.

Background: Multipotent Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are the most common type of stem cell used in the regeneration of skeletal tissue. These cells have multipotent, angiogenic, paracrine, anti-fibrotic and immunological properties. They are readily available, easily isolated and have many therapeutic applications.

Quantifying the correlation between spatially defined oxygen gradients and cell fate in an engineered three-dimensional culture model.

A challenge in three-dimensional tissue culture remains the lack of quantitative information linking nutrient delivery and cellular distribution. Both in vivo and in vitro, oxygen is delivered by diffusion from its source (blood vessel or the construct margins). The oxygen level at a defined distance from its source depends critically on the balance of diffusion and cellular metabolism.

4-Bromo-2-[(E)-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)imino-meth-yl]phenol.

In the title compound, C(13)H(9)BrFNO, the dihedral angle between the substituted benzene rings is 9.00 (11)°. Strong intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds generate S(6) ring motifs.
