Gracilis muscle transposition in complex anorectal fistulas of diverse types and etiologies: long-term results of 60 cases.

Purpose: Complex fistulas often require several attempts at repair and continue to be a challenging task for the surgeon, but above all, a major burden for the affected patient. This study is aimed at evaluating the potential of gracilis muscle transposition (GMT) as a therapeutic option for complex fistulas of diverse etiologies.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted over a period of 16 years with a total of 60 patients (mean age 50 years).

Back to the Future: A Report From the 16th International Forum for Back and Neck Pain Research in Primary Care and Updated Research Agenda.

Study Design: The 16th meeting of the International Forum for Back and Neck Pain Research in Primary Care was held in Québec City in July 2019 under the theme of innovation. This paper addresses the state of research in the field.

Objective: To ascertain the evolution of knowledge and clinical application in back and neck pain and identify shifting research priorities.

Profiling classical neuropsychiatric biomarkers across biological fluids and following continuous lumbar puncture: A guide to sample type and time.

Unlabelled: Identification of putative biomarkers for neuropsychiatric disorders has produced a diverse list of analytes involved in inflammation, hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) regulation, growth factor and metabolic pathways. However, translation of these findings to accurate and robust assays has been stalled, affecting objective diagnoses, tracking relapse/remission, and prediction/monitoring of drug affect. Two important factors to control are the sample matrix (e.
