Effects of Anterior Fundoplication on Postoperative Dysphagia and Reflux After Laparoscopic Esophagocardiomyotomy for Pediatric Achalasia.

Achalasia among children often fails endoscopic management (e.g., dilation, botulinum toxin).

Early Acetabular Fracture Repair Through an Anterior Approach Is Associated With Increased Blood Loss.

Objectives: To determine whether the timing of acetabular fracture fixation through an anterior approach influences estimated and calculated perioperative blood loss.

Design: Retrospective cohort study.

Setting: Level 1 trauma center from 2013 to 2021.

sepsis causing purpura fulminans in a 50-year-old man with chronic opioid use.

We present a case of polymicrobial sepsis with spp. complicated by purpura fulminans following a dog-bite in a 50-year-old-man with an extensive history of opioid use disorder. Generally, severe cases are thought to occur in patients with underlying immune deficiencies.

Activity Across the Lateral Somitic Frontier Regulates Development of the Mouse Sternum.

The skeletal system derives from multiple embryonic sources whose derivatives must develop in coordination to produce an integrated whole. In particular, interactions across the lateral somitic frontier, where derivatives of the somites and lateral plate mesoderm come into contact, are important for proper development. Many questions remain about genetic control of this coordination, and embryological information is incomplete for some structures that incorporate the frontier, including the sternum.
