'Findings of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Knee with Post-Reconstruction Infection of the ACL: A Descriptive and Reliability Study' as per instructions.

Objectives: Septic arthritis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a rare but potentially devastating complication. The imaging findings associated with such infections are not well-described or quantified. The purpose of this study was to describe and quantify the frequency of the characteristic MRI findings of infection following ACL reconstruction.

CT in musculoskeletal imaging: still helpful and for what?

Computed tomography (CT) is a common modality employed for musculoskeletal imaging. Conventional CT techniques are useful for the assessment of trauma in detection, characterization and surgical planning of complex fractures. CT arthrography can depict internal derangement lesions and impact medical decision making of orthopedic providers.

Swinging injuries in competitive baseball players.

Injuries are common in competitive baseball players and can occur in all facets of the game. The majority of the existing literature on injuries in baseball players has focused on injuries secondary to the overhead throw with very little attention given to injuries sustained while batting. The baseball swing is a complex, often violent, motion that predisposes batters to a variety of injuries affecting the spine, trunk, pelvis, and extremities.

Broad-spectrum antiviral diazadispiroalkane core molecules block attachment and cell-to-cell spread of herpesviruses.

Regarding the problems with the current available drugs many research studies deal with the class of the dispirotripiperazine (DSTP)-based compounds. These are small molecules consisting of polycyclic saturated ring systems with positively charged nitrogen atoms. These compounds can interact with negatively charged HSPGs and thus block viral attachment.
