Purpose: To evaluate career length after surgical treatment of combined ACL plus medial collateral ligament (MCL) and ACL plus posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries in elite athletes and, in a subgroup analysis of male professional soccer players, to compare career length and competition level after combined ACL+MCL or ACL+PLC surgeries with a cohort who underwent isolated ACL reconstruction (ACLR).

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Using umbilical cord tissue to identify prenatal ethanol exposure and co-exposure to other commonly misused substances.

Objective: Substance misuse during pregnancy can result in a variety of poor pregnancy outcomes. Objective data reporting the prevalence of neonates born with ethanol metabolites (evidence of prenatal ethanol exposure) in their fluids or tissues are limited.

Study Design: A secondary analysis of umbilical cord tissue specimens received for routine toxicological analysis was conducted.

Ligament augmentation and reconstruction system (LARS) synthetic grafts are safe and effective for medial collateral ligament and posterolateral corner reconstructions in elite athletes.

Purpose: This study documents the efficacy and safety of using a Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) ligament graft to augment extra-articular knee ligament reconstructions in elite athletes by reporting return-to-play (RTP) rates and levels, career longevity and complications.

Methods: A consecutive series of all extra-articular knee ligament reconstructions augmented by LARS ligaments in elite athletes undertaken by three specialist sports knee surgeons between 2013 and 2020 were reviewed. Seventy-six elite athletes, aged over 16 years old, and more than 2 years postsurgery were included.

The deltoid ligament complex is reliably visualised as four fascicles in two layers with 3D volumetric MRI in the ankles of 20 asymptomatic volunteers.

Purpose: The anatomy of the deltoid ligament is complex. There is agreement on the presence of superficial and deep layers but the number and frequency of fascicles remains controversial. Identifying injuries to specific components of the deltoid ligament may inform decision-making on their management.

The Effect of Primary ACL Reconstruction on Career Longevity in English Premier League and Championship Soccer Players Compared With Uninjured Controls: A Matched Cohort Analysis.

Background: Because of the multitude of variables that affect the retirement decisions of professional soccer players, it has proven difficult to isolate the effect of undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) on career longevity.

Purpose: To compare the career longevity of professional soccer players after a primary ACLR with that of an uninjured matched control cohort.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

LiaX is a surrogate marker for cell envelope stress and daptomycin non-susceptibility in .

Daptomycin (DAP) is often used as a first-line therapy to treat vancomycin-resistant infections, but emergence of DAP non-susceptibility threatens the effectiveness of this antibiotic. Moreover, current methods to determine DAP minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) have poor reproducibility and accuracy. In enterococci, DAP resistance is mediated by the LiaFSR cell membrane stress response system, and deletion of encoding the response regulator results in hypersusceptibility to DAP and antimicrobial peptides.

Determinants of Performance in Professional Soccer Players at 2 and 5 Years After ACL Reconstruction.

Background: A number of studies have investigated return to play after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in professional soccer players, but it is unclear which factors are associated with a return to the preinjury performance and ability to play over time.

Purpose: To identify factors that contribute to a professional soccer player's return to preinjury performance after ACLR, as well as to report their playing performance at 2 and 5 years after ACLR compared with their preinjury performance.

Study Design: Case-control study; Level of evidence, 3.

No difference in return to play rates between different elite sports after primary autograft ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: To demonstrate return to play (RTP) rates, the level of RTP and time taken to RTP in different sports after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL-R) and compare the differences between football and rugby. The secondary aims were to compare the differences in intra articular injuries and their treatments and reoperation rates between these sports.

Methods: A retrospective review of a consecutive series of all primary ACL-R undertaken by the senior author between 2005 and 2019 was undertaken.

Exploration of the representation of the allied health professions in senior leadership positions in the UK National Health Service.

Background: Allied health professionals (AHPs) are an important group within the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK and make up a large portion of the workforce. Investment in AHP leadership is believed to lead to improvements in patient care, resource use, collaboration and innovation. This study aims to assess the current state of AHP strategic leadership within the NHS.

Comparison of Sampson and extended Martin/Hopkins methods of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol calculations with direct measurement in pediatric patients with hypertriglyceridemia.

Objective: The Friedewald equation is the commonly used method of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) calculation, requiring reflex to direct LDL-C measurement when triglycerides (TG) ≥ 400 mg/dL. Recently formulated Sampson and extended Martin/Hopkins methods have been validated with TG up to 800 mg/dL and thus have the potential to replace direct LDL-C measurement. Given the growing prevalence of childhood dyslipidemia, the objective of this study was to compare Sampson and extended Martin/Hopkins methods of LDL-C calculation with the direct measurement in a pediatric cohort with 400 ≤ TG ≤ 799 mg/dL.

A "Short Isometric Construct" Reconstruction Technique for the Medial Collateral Ligament of the Knee.

Recently there has been increased focus on the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the role the medial ligament complex plays in preventing valgus and external rotation, especially in the setting of a combined ligament injury. Multiple surgical techniques purport to reproduce "normal anatomy"; however, only one technique addresses the deep MCL fibers and the prevention of external rotation. Thus we describe the "short isometric construct" MCL reconstruction which is stiffer than the anatomic reconstructions.

A Comparison of All-inside and Inside-out Meniscal Repair in Elite Athletes.

Background: The popularization of all-inside (AI) meniscal repair devices has led to a shift away from the historical gold standard of inside-out (IO) meniscal repair without comparative studies to support the change.

Purpose: To compare the failure rate and time to failure of AI and IO meniscal repair performed in elite athletes.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Individual fascicles of the ankle lateral ligaments and the lateral fibulotalocalcaneal ligament complex can be identified on 3D volumetric MRI.

Purpose: Lateral ligament ankle sprains are common and the anatomy on imaging studies is vital for accurate diagnosis. The lateral fibulotalocalcaneal ligament (LFTCL) complex consists of the inferior fascicle of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) which is connected by arciform fibres with the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL). The superior fascicle of ATFL is an independent structure that should be assessed individually.

The relationship between hair metabolites, air pollution exposure and gestational diabetes mellitus: A longitudinal study from pre-conception to third trimester.

Background: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic condition defined as glucose intolerance with first presentation during pregnancy. Many studies suggest that environmental exposures, including air pollution, contribute to the pathogenesis of GDM. Although hair metabolite profiles have been shown to reflect pollution exposure, few studies have examined the link between environmental exposures, the maternal hair metabolome and GDM.

Rebranding the 'anatomic' ACL reconstruction: Current concepts.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a complex ribbon-like structure, which is approximately 3.5 times larger at the tibial and femoral insertions than at the midpoint. Accordingly, it is impossible to recreate with a single cylindrical graft.

Rates and Levels of Elite Sport Participation at 5 Years After Revision ACL Reconstruction.

Background: There is a paucity of data regarding return to play (RTP), level of competition, and longevity of play after revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) in elite athletes.

Purpose: To report RTP rates and competition levels in elite athletes at the point of RTP, as well as at 2 and 5 years after revision ACLR, and the effect of meniscal and chondral pathology at revision surgery on these outcomes.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Effect of Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis on the Rate of Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Elite Athletes.

Background: There is growing evidence that anterolateral procedures can reduce the risk of rerupture in high-risk recreational athletes undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). However, this effectiveness has never been evaluated in elite athletes.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) in reducing revision rates in primary ACLR in elite athletes.

Plasma nervonic acid levels were negatively associated with attention levels in community-living older adults in New Zealand.

The global population is aging. Preserving function and independence of our aging population is paramount. A key component to maintaining independence is the preservation of cognitive function.

Anxiety-like behavior and anxiolytic treatment in the Rett syndrome natural history study.

Background: Rett syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder most often related to a pathogenic variant in the X-linked MECP2 gene. Internalizing behaviors appear to be common, but standard methods of diagnosing anxiety are not readily applied in this population which typically has cognitive impairment and limited expressive language. This study aims to describe the frequency of anxiety-like behavior and anxiolytic treatments along with associated clinical features in individuals with RTT.
