Evaluating the Importance of Return to Sports and Hamstring Strength in a Discrete Choice Experiment for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

Background: With emerging treatments for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, analysis of patient preferences is lacking to align clinical care and research with patient priorities.

Purposes: To identify patient priorities for outcomes after surgical intervention if they were to sustain an ACL tear, analyze what outcome measures influenced preferences, and determine whether patient demographics influenced preferences.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta in the patient with obesity.

Background: Palpation of anatomic landmarks is difficult in patients with obesity, which could increase difficulty of achieving femoral access and resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) placement. The primary aim of this study was to examine the association between obesity and successful REBOA placement. We hypothesized that higher body mass index (BMI) would decrease first-attempt success and increase time to successful aortic occlusion (AO).

Gaining Insight into the Catalytic Mechanism of the R132H IDH1 Mutant: A Synergistic DFT Cluster and Experimental Investigation.

Human isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is an enzyme that is found in humans that plays a critical role in aerobic metabolism. As a part of the citric acid cycle, IDH1 becomes responsible for catalyzing the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to form α-ketoglutarate (αKG), with nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) as a cofactor. Strikingly, mutations of the IDH1 enzyme have been discovered in several cancers including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), a highly aggressive form of brain cancer.
