Lung ultrasound is associated with distinct clinical phenotypes in COVID-19 ARDS: A retrospective observational study.

Background: ARDS is a heterogeneous syndrome with distinct clinical phenotypes. Here we investigate whether the presence or absence of large pulmonary ultrasonographic consolidations can categorize COVID-19 ARDS patients requiring mechanical ventilation into distinct clinical phenotypes.

Methods: This is a retrospective study performed in a tertiary-level intensive care unit in Israel between April and September 2020.

The yield of total body CT in the workup of fever of unknown origin in hospitalized medical patients.

Introduction: Total body computerized tomography (TBCT) is frequently used as a diagnostic tool for fever of unknown origin (FUO) workup instead of a recommended fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography FDG-PET/CT. We have assessed the TBCT diagnostic yield on a large, unselected cohort of patients with FUO.

Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective cohort study, examining all patients hospitalized in internal medicine between 2012 and 2019 with a documented fever and three negative blood cultures who subsequently had a total-body CT performed.

Repair of a Reverse Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament and a Supraspinatus Tear in a Division I Collegiate Football Player: A Case Report.

Case: We present the case of a 21-year-old male, collegiate division I wide receiver, with a humeral avulsion of the posterior glenohumeral ligament (RHAGL) and near-full-thickness supraspinatus tear after falling on his outstretched arm. He returned to full collegiate participation with symptom resolution after arthroscopic repair of each tear.

Conclusion: This case report emphasizes the importance of imaging studies in the diagnosis of RHAGL and details a treatment approach that provided an excellent result in a young, active patient.

Top 20 cited Spine Journal articles, 1990-2009.

Aim: To determine the most cited articles and most published authors in Spine Journal from 1990-2009.

Methods: Spine Journal, established in 1976, is affiliated with 12 spine societies and a leader in spine research articles. Citation analysis is a method to determine the impact of a journal and its articles on academia and clinical practice.

Proposed alternative revision strategy for broken S1 pedicle screw: radiological study, review of the literature, and case reports.

Background Context: There have been many reports outlining differing methods for managing a broken S1 screw. To the authors' best knowledge, the technique used in the present study has not been described previously. It involves insertion of a second pedicle screw without removing the broken screw shaft.
