Video analysis of neonatal intubations using video laryngoscopy: a prospective comparison of clinical practice with resuscitation guidelines.

Background: The Neonatal Resuscitation Program recommends direct laryngoscopy (DL) as the primary method for neonatal intubation. Video laryngoscopy (VL) is suggested as an option, particularly for training novice operators or for intubating infants with difficult airways. The programme outlines specific steps for intubation, including managing the external environment and techniques for visualising key anatomical landmarks.

Does Pelvic Tilt Change After Periacetabular Osteotomy for Hip Dysplasia?

Background: The purpose of this study was to (1) evaluate preoperative pelvic tilt utilizing the sacro-femoral-pubic (SFP) angle on standing pelvic x-rays, and (2) determine if the SFP angle changes after a unilateral or bilateral PAO.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of PAOs performed by a single hip preservation surgeon from November 2018 to November 2023. Standing x-rays were reviewed at 4 time points: preoperative, subacute postoperative, 6-month follow-up, and 12-month follow-up.

Repair of bucket handle meniscus tears improves patient outcomes versus partial meniscectomy at the time of ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine demographic and surgical factors that influence patient-reported knee function in patients who undergo anterior crucial ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with concurrent bucket-handle meniscal tear (BHMT) procedures. We hypothesized that repair of BHMT in the setting of concomitant ACLR and shorter time from injury to surgery would lead to improved patient-reported outcomes.

Methods: Forty-one patients (mean age: 28.

The Effect of Greater Area Deprivation and Medicaid Insurance Status on Timing of Care and Rate of Reinjury After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: Lower socioeconomic status and public insurance lead to a longer delay to surgery and a higher likelihood of concomitant pathology before undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, few studies have examined the influence of community deprivation on ACLR timing and outcomes.

Purpose/hypothesis: The primary aim of this study was to define the effect of the area deprivation index (ADI) and insurance classification on access to orthopaedic care after an ACL rupture, and the secondary aim was to determine whether these variables were associated with a second ACL injury after primary ACLR.

Value-Based, Environmentally Sustainable Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery.

Orthopedic surgeons are increasingly recognizing the broader societal impact of their clinical decisions, which includes value-based and environmentally sustainable care. Within anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, value-based care-or most cost-effective care-includes an outpatient surgical setting with regional anesthesia, use of autograft, meniscus repair when indicated, and use of traditional metal implants such as interference screws and staples. Environmentally sustainable care includes slimming down surgical packs and trays to avoid opening unnecessary equipment, avoiding desflurane as an inhaled anesthetic agent, and minimizing waste in the operating room-a priority that addresses both cost and environmental impact.

Integration of a respiratory function monitor into newborn positive pressure ventilation training; development of a standardised training intervention.

Objective: One in twenty newborns require resuscitation with positive pressure ventilation (PPV) at birth. Newborn face mask ventilation is often poorly performed. To address this, the potential role of respiratory function monitors (RFM) in newborn resuscitation training has been highlighted.

Defining Thresholds and Predictors for Achieving the Patient Acceptable Symptom State for Patient-Reported Outcome Measures After Revision Hip Arthroscopy.

Background: The Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) after primary hip arthroscopy has been determined; nonetheless, the PASS still needs to be defined for revision hip arthroscopy.

Purpose: To define minimum 2-year follow-up PASS thresholds for the modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Nonarthritic Hip Score (NAHS), Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific Subscale (HOS-SSS), visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, and International Hip Outcome Tool-12 (iHOT-12) after revision hip arthroscopy, and to identify predictors of achieving the PASS.

Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.

Endoscopic Tendon Compression Bridge Technique for Repair of Partial-Thickness Gluteus Medius Tears With Concomitant Arthroscopy for Labral Tears: Minimum 2-Year Outcomes With Benchmark Control Group.

Background: The transtendinous technique has been used to treat partial-thickness gluteus medius tears in the setting of concomitant arthroscopy for labral tears. The tendon compression bridge technique for gluteus medius repair has been developed as an alternative method, providing several advantages; however, comparative studies between the 2 techniques are lacking in the literature.

Purpose: (1) To evaluate the short-term patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of the tendon compression bridge technique and (2) to compare these findings with short-term PROs of the transtendinous technique.

Orthobiologics as an adjunct in treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome: cell-based therapies facilitate improved postoperative outcomes in the setting of acetabular chondral lesions-a systematic review.

Purpose: To evaluate studies utilizing orthobiologics in the management of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) to (1) assess the indications for usage, and (2) analyze patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) following treatment. It was hypothesized that orthobiologics would (1) be utilized for symptomatic FAIS in the setting of labral or chondral pathology, and (2) improve PROM at most recent follow-up.

Methods: The Pubmed, Ovid Medline, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases were searched for clinical studies evaluating orthobiologics [hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or cell-based therapy (CBT) for treatment of FAIS.

Periacetabular osteotomy with intraoperative computer-assisted modalities: a systematic review.

The role of intraoperative computer-assisted modalities for periacetabular osteotomy (PAO), as well as the perioperative and post-operative outcomes for these techniques, remains poorly defined. The purpose of this systematic review was to evaluate the techniques and outcomes of intraoperative computer-assisted modalities for PAO. Three databases (PubMed, CINAHL/EBSCOHost and Cochrane) were searched for clinical studies reporting on computer-assisted modalities for PAO.

Markers of platelet activation foR identification of late onset sEpsis in infaNTs: PARENT study protocol.

Background: Newborns are at high risk of sepsis. At present there is no definitive "rule in" blood test for sepsis at the point of clinical concern. A positive blood culture remains the gold standard test for neonatal sepsis, however laboratory markers that correlate prospectively with culture positive sepsis could aid clinicians in making decisions regarding administration of empiric antibiotic therapies.

Utility of 3D Planning Software in Understanding Residual Proximal Femoral Deformity for Planning of Revision Hip Arthroscopy.

Background: During the early evolution of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) treatment, undercorrection of femoral deformity was a leading cause of hip arthroscopy failures. As the pendulum has swung, overresection of femoral deformity has increased in prevalence as a cause of persistent hip pain after arthroscopy. Computed tomography (CT) scans are increasingly being used in hip arthroscopy for preoperative planning purposes and may allow for improved 3-dimensional (3D) assessment of complex femoral deformities after previous femoroplasty.

Revision Rates After Primary Allograft ACL Reconstruction by Allograft Tissue Type in Older Patients.

Background: While there is extensive literature on the use of allograft versus autograft in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there is limited clinical evidence to guide the surgeon in choice of allograft tissue type.

Purpose: To assess the revision rate after primary ACL reconstruction with allograft and to compare revision rates based on allograft tissue type and characteristics.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Inclusion4EU: Co-Designing a Framework for Inclusive Software Design and Development.

Digital technology is now pervasive, however, not all groups have uniformly benefitted from technological changes and some groups have been left behind or digitally excluded. Comprehensive data from the 2017 Current Population Survey shows that older people and persons with disabilities still lag behind in computer and internet access. Furthermore unique ethical, privacy and safety implications exist for the use of technology for older persons and people with disabilities and careful reflection is required to incorporate these aspects, which are not always part of a traditional software lifecycle.

Parents' understanding and experiences of blood component transfusion in the neonatal intensive care unit: A qualitative study.

Aim: Blood component transfusion is a common intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Parents consent on their babies' behalf. This study aimed to explore parents' understandings and experiences of consenting and the subsequent blood transfusion.

Dams and tribal land loss in the United States.

Indigenous peoples in the United States have faced continued land dispossession for centuries. Through the reservation system as well as policies including forced removal and allotment, colonial settlers and later the federal government acquired over two billion acres from Native Nations. We argue that another important, yet understudied and unquantified, contributor to tribal land loss is through the construction of dams.

Dancers Show Significant Improvement in Outcomes and Favorable Return-to-Dance Rates After Primary Hip Arthroscopy With Femoral Head Cartilage Status Being a Predictor of Secondary Surgical Procedures at Mid-Term Follow-Up.

Purpose: To report minimum 5-year follow-up patient-reported outcome measurement (PROM) scores and return-to-dance rates in dancers who underwent primary hip arthroscopy and to identify predictors of secondary surgical procedures.

Methods: Prospectively collected data from patients who underwent hip arthroscopy between May 2010 and June 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were included if they participated in dance at any level 1 year prior to surgery and had preoperative and minimum 5-year follow-up scores consisting of the modified Harris Hip Score, Nonarthritic Hip Score, Hip Outcome Score-Sports Specific Subscale, and visual analog scale pain score.

Changes in inflammatory proteins following platelet transfusion in a neonatal population.

Background: Studies have demonstrated increased morbidity and mortality with platelet transfusions in the neonatal period. Platelets are as important for host immunity and inflammation as for hemostasis. Increased inflammation may explain the dose-associated increase in mortality, bleeding, and lung disease.
