Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation as a Salvage Procedure After Failed Index Cartilage Surgery of the Knee: A Systematic Review.

Background: Osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is well established as a viable chondral restoration procedure for the treatment of symptomatic, focal chondral defects of the knee. The efficacy of secondary OCA in the setting of failed index cartilage repair or restoration is poorly understood.

Purpose: To evaluate radiographic and clinical outcomes, failures, and reoperations after OCA after failed index cartilage repair or restoration of the knee.

Public Health.

Background: Consumption of the Mediterranean-Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Diet Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been proposed to support advantageous cognitive outcomes. Intra Individual Variability (IIV) has been suggested as a useful outcome for predicting adverse cognitive outcomes. Executive function (EF) may be particularly susceptible to dietary influence.

Dementia Care Research and Psychosocial Factors.

Background: A large body of research supports the benefits of older adults engaging in physical activity outdoors. However, a paucity of research explores factors associated with the frequency of older adults going outdoors. The aim of this study was to explore how factors including cognition, neighborhood characteristics, and physical ability were associated with community-dwelling older adults' outdoor frequency.

Neonatal encephalopathy: when the diagnosis is not hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy.

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE) presents as reduced consciousness, often with seizures, abnormal tone, feeding and respiratory difficulties. The most common cause is secondary to a hypoxic-ischaemic event. However, there are many important diagnoses that can also present as NE, so-called 'hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) mimics'.

Stroke incidence in heart failure and atrial fibrillation: population cohort study.

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a risk factor for stroke among people with atrial fibrillation (AF). Prognosis following a HF diagnosis is often poor, but this is not accounted for in existing stroke risk scores.

Aim: To examine stroke incidence in people with HF and AF compared to AF alone, considering the competing risk of death.
