Article Synopsis
- * Researchers used genetic screening to identify key genes that help these persister cells survive during both normal and stress-induced conditions, uncovering a role for detoxifying reactive oxygen species (ROS).
- * They discovered that antibiotic exposure generates ROS, which can worsen bacterial death, and identified that the enzyme KatG is critical for the survival of persister cells under certain conditions, particularly in nutrient-deprived environments.
Purpose: To report the rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure by physis status (open, closing, closed) and to analyze which factors were associated with higher risk of ACL graft failure.
Methods: Patients younger than 18 years who underwent transphyseal ACL reconstruction (ACLR) between 2000 and 2018 at a single institution were reviewed at minimum 2 years after ACLR. Patient records were reviewed for anthropometrics, surgical techniques, and ACL graft failure.
Context: Epidemiological studies have shown an increased risk of musculoskeletal injury after concussion. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the reverse relationship exists, specifically whether there is an increased risk of concussion after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in a population-based cohort.
Design: Retrospective cohort.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate shear wave elastography as a predictor for mechanical failure and injury risk in superficial knee ligaments, particularly the anterolateral and medial collateral ligaments.
- Researchers used 8 cadaver specimens to measure tissue stiffness with elastography and performed mechanical failure testing to gather data on load, displacement, and strain.
- Results showed a strong correlation between elastography stiffness and ligament strain at failure, but the method's reliability for predicting performance and assessing injury risk was limited.
