Background And Objective: Although generally low-risk, hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers can lead to late-onset edema, particularly in the periocular region. This condition typically manifests three to four months post-injection and requires specialized management, usually with hyaluronidase. However, increased use of hyaluronidase has resulted in instances of post-hyaluronidase syndrome, leading to unaesthetic outcomes.

- The study investigates the outcomes of superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) using a dermal allograft, specifically analyzing the impact of graft tears based on their location rather than treating all tears as a single group.
- Researchers hypothesized that patients with intact grafts would experience similar functional outcomes as those with tears that still covered the tuberosity.
- Results showed significant improvements in shoulder function and pain scores for patients with both intact grafts and those with specific types of tears, with a notable distinction in outcomes based on graft integrity and tear location.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the use of intratumoral tavokinogene telseplasmid (TAVO-EP) with nivolumab before surgery in patients with advanced melanoma, focusing on its effects on the tumor environment.
- Sixteen patients participated, showing a 63% preoperative response rate, with a pathologic complete response (pCR) of 60% and a major pathologic response (MPR) of 80% post-treatment.
- The treatment demonstrated significant immune activation and a favorable safety profile, suggesting TAVO-EP combined with nivolumab may be an effective strategy for enhancing anti-tumor immunity in melanoma.
Introduction: Entry point selection, a crucial aspect of femoral antegrade nailing, can impact nail fit and consequently fracture reduction. In adults, the standard entry portals used are the piriformis fossa and the tip of the greater trochanter. Previous systematic reviews comparing the two techniques have not been limited to Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and have not consistently included the same available RCTs.

Traditionally, these screws were routinely removed during the postoperative period, however recent literature has brought into question the necessity of routine removal, citing no change in functional outcomes and the inherent risks of a second surgery. Our study aimed to compare outcomes of patients undergoing routine syndesmotic screw removal versus those undergoing an on-demand approach to removal.
