Purpose: To identify the rate and risk factors of posterior labral involvement in operatively managed Bankart lesions and assess the effectiveness of MRI arthrogram for preoperative identification of such injury patterns.

Methods: A consecutive cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic Bankart repair were retrospectively reviewed. All subjects underwent a prearthroscopy MRI arthrogram.

Background: Data on renal replacement therapy (RRT) for end-stage renal disease were collected by the European Renal Association (ERA) Registry via national and regional renal registries in Europe and countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This article provides a summary of the 2019 ERA Registry Annual Report, including data from 34 countries and additional age comparisons.

Methods: Individual patient data for 2019 were provided by 35 registries and aggregated data by 17 registries.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness of probiotics, specifically Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and other infections in critically ill patients in ICUs across North America and Saudi Arabia.
  • A large randomized trial involved 2,653 patients, showing no significant reduction in VAP rates among those receiving probiotics compared to the placebo group (21.9% vs. 21.3%).
  • None of the secondary outcomes, including rates of other infections or mortality, showed improvements, suggesting that probiotics may not offer substantial benefits in this patient population.

Background: Off-track lesions are strongly associated with failure after arthroscopic Bankart repair. However, on-track lesions with a small distance-to-dislocation (DTD) value, or "near-track lesions," also may be at risk for failure. The purpose of the present study was to determine the association of DTD with failure after arthroscopic Bankart repair.

Background: The European Renal Association - European Dialysis and Transplant Association (ERA-EDTA) Registry collects data on kidney replacement therapy (KRT) via national and regional renal registries in Europe and countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. This article summarizes the 2018 ERA-EDTA Registry Annual Report, and describes the epidemiology of KRT for kidney failure in 34 countries.

Methods: Individual patient data on patients undergoing KRT in 2018 were provided by 34 national or regional renal registries and aggregated data by 17 registries.
