Purpose: To evaluate factors associated with revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) within 5 years of primary ACLR in children and adolescents.
Methods: Children and adolescents (age <20 years at surgery) who underwent primary hamstring tendon ACLR at the Capio Artro Clinic, Stockholm, Sweden, between January 2005 and December 2018 were identified. Revision ACLR within 5 years of primary ACLR was captured in the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry.
Objective: Integrated care pathways are essential for consistent, effective epilepsy care, offering equal access and quality regardless of socioeconomic status. They must align with the WHO Global Action Plan on Epilepsy, ensuring best practices and cost-effective management. We describe the Finnish national epilepsy care pathway, which includes multiple levels of care, from initial diagnosis to long-term care for all types of epilepsy, with a specific focus on rare and complex cases integrated with the European Reference Network (ERN) for Rare and Complex Epilepsies EpiCARE.

This study surveys proton institutions to explore activities using functionalities beyond a constant proton RBE.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTrichloramine is a disinfection by-product in chlorinated swimming pools. It can evaporate into the air and irritate eyes and airways among swimmers and pool workers. This study aimed to evaluate airborne concentrations of trichloramine in different types of indoor swimming pools.

- Herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) primarily causes genital herpes but can lead to meningitis in rare cases, prompting research using a murine model to understand its effects on the central nervous system (CNS).
- The study found that the Fas and FasL pathways are activated in the CNS during HSV-2 infection, and mice lacking these pathways exhibited worse disease outcomes and higher viral loads.
- Overall, the research suggests that the Fas/FasL pathway is crucial for controlling inflammation and facilitating proper immune responses in the spinal cord during HSV-2 infection.
