Mapping the cellular biogeography of human bone marrow niches using single-cell transcriptomics and proteomic imaging.

Non-hematopoietic cells are essential contributors to hematopoiesis. However, heterogeneity and spatial organization of these cells in human bone marrow remain largely uncharacterized. We used single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) to profile 29,325 non-hematopoietic cells and discovered nine transcriptionally distinct subtypes.

Local prolonged release of antibiotic for prevention of sternal wound infections postcardiac surgery-A novel technology.

Introduction: Sternal wound infection (SWI) is a devastating postcardiac surgical complication. D-PLEX (D-PLEX) is a localized prolonged release compound applied as a prophylactic at the completion of surgery to prevent SWI. The D-PLEX technology platform is built as a matrix of alternating layers of polymers and lipids, entrapping an antibiotic (doxycycline).

D-PLEX500: a local biodegradable prolonged release doxycycline-formulated bone graft for the treatment for peri-implantitis. A randomized controlled clinical study.

Objectives: In the present pilot, multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, controlled study, surgical treatment with or without the administration of D-PLEX500 (a biodegradable prolonged release local doxycycline formulated with β-tricalcium phosphate bone graft) was accessed for the treatment of peri-implantitis.

Method And Materials: Subjects undergoing surgical treatment for intrabony peri-implantitis defects after flap elevation were randomly assigned, to adjunct D-PLEX500 placement group or to control group. Clinical and radiographic parameters were measured at 6 and 12 months.

Editor's Choice - Nationwide Analysis of Patients Undergoing Iliac Artery Aneurysm Repair in the Netherlands.

Objective: The new 2019 guideline of the European Society for Vascular Surgery (ESVS) recommends consideration for elective iliac artery aneurysm (eIAA) repair when the iliac diameter exceeds 3.5 cm, as opposed to 3.0 cm previously.
