Radiographic Outcome Following Treatment of Residual Hip Dysplasia with Pemberton Versus Salter Osteotomy: Comparison of Results in Patients Followed to Skeletal Maturity.

Background: Salter osteotomy (SO) and Pemberton acetabuloplasty (PA) are procedures to treat skeletally immature patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). The purpose of this study was to compare the radiographic results and rate of residual dysplasia (RD) after treatment with SO and with PA.

Methods: This was a retrospective analysis of pediatric patients treated with either SO or PA for DDH between 1980 and 2013 who were skeletally mature at the time of follow-up.

Medical Education Column, Creating a High-Yield Guide to Lifestyle Medicine for Medical Students and Healthcare Professionals.

Despite their inclusion as first-line therapy for many chronic diseases, lifestyle interventions are often de-emphasized in medical education and fail to make it into the repertoire of non-lifestyle medicine trained clinicians. We sought to address this gap in medical education by creating a concise pocket guide to lifestyle medicine that lends itself to use in the face-to-face clinical setting. With input from lifestyle medicine experts, the guide was created by medical students for medical students as well as other healthcare professionals for use in a variety of clinical settings.

Breast conservation therapy versus mastectomy in the surgical management of invasive lobular carcinoma measuring 4 cm or greater.

Background: The safety of breast conservation therapy (BCT) has not been demonstrated in large ILC tumors, potentially contributing to the higher mastectomy rates seen in ILC.

Methods: We queried a prospectively maintained database to identify patients with ILC measuring ≥4 cm and evaluated difference in recurrence free survival (RFS) between those treated with BCT versus mastectomy using a multivariate model.

Results: Of 180 patients, 30 (16.
