Background: Displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures are a complication-ridden injury to treat and there are various treatment techniques to address this injury. The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcome of a percutaneous two-point distractor technique in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures.
Methods: A retrospective data analysis of patients with intra-articular calcaneal fractures treated in a level 1 trauma center was conducted.
Lymphoma is one of the leading causes of cancer and cancer deaths and yet has not been amenable to population screening. The role of methylated DNA markers (MDMs) in the detection of lymphoma has not been extensively studied. We aimed to discover, validate, and test tissue-derived MDMs of lymphoma in archival plasma specimens.

- A multicenter study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of methylated DNA markers (MDMs) found in pancreatic juice (PJ) for detecting pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) when used alone and in combination with a blood test, CA 19-9.
- The analysis included DNA samples from 88 confirmed PDAC cases and 134 control cases, utilizing logistic regression to summarize accuracy through the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC).
- Results showed that the combination model of PJ-MDMs and CA 19-9 achieved a higher accuracy (AUROC of 0.95) compared to using PJ-MDMs (0.87) or CA 19-9 alone (0
Introduction: Non-invasive assays are needed to better discriminate patients with prostate cancer (PCa) to avoid over-treatment of indolent disease. We analyzed 14 methylated DNA markers (MDMs) from urine samples of patients with biopsy-proven PCa relative to healthy controls and further studied discrimination of clinically significant PCa (csPCa) from healthy controls and Gleason 6 cancers.
Methods: To evaluate the panel, urine from 24 healthy male volunteers with no clinical suspicion for PCa and 24 men with biopsy-confirmed disease across all Gleason scores was collected.
Objective: The main objective of this study was to examine the relationship between mobility patterns during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and orthopedic trauma patients in Austria. Utilizing global positioning system (GPS)-based mobility data, the attempt was to assess both the impact of COVID-19 lockdowns on reducing orthopedic trauma patients and the degree of compliance to the imposed movement restrictions.
Methods: This retrospective analysis included all patients (283,501) treated at 3 major level I trauma centers in Austria.
