Proximity to Explosive Synchronization Determines Network Collapse and Recovery Trajectories in Neural and Economic Crises.

When complex systems move away from criticality-a balance between order and chaos-they are no longer optimized. Furthermore, when criticality is lost too quickly, or recovery is delayed, system damage can result. However, the mechanism for these abnormally fast or slow critical transitions remains unknown.

The pathoanatomy of medial ligamentous disruption in the dislocated and multiple ligament injured knee.

Purpose: To describe the medial-sided pathoanatomy and ligament injuries in acute MLKIs with medial-sided involvement andlook forassociated injury patterns based upon location of ligamentous injury.

Methods: Patients who underwent treatment for MLKI at two level-1 trauma centers were identified between January 2001 and May 2023. Only cases involvingcomplete disruption of the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) were included.

Following carpel tunnel release, what factors affect whether patients return to the same or different hand surgeon for a subsequent procedure?

Background: Following carpal tunnel release (CTR), patients may be indicated for subsequent hand surgery (contralateral CTR and/or trigger finger release [TFR]). While surgeons typically take pride in patient loyalty, the rate of returning to the same hand surgeons has not been previously characterized.

Methods: Patients undergoing CTR were isolated from 2010-2021 PearlDiver M151 dataset.

Complications and Radiographic Outcomes of Tibial Tubercle Osteotomy at Minimum 5-Year Follow-up.

Background: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a commonly utilized surgery in the treatment of patellofemoral instability and chondrosis. A number of case series studies have reported on the mid- and long-term outcomes with varying complication rates.

Purpose: To report the incidence of major complications after TTO and the rate of progression of knee osteoarthritis at midterm follow-up.

Health care disparities in complication and mortality rates following surgical management of cauda equina syndrome in New York State.

Context: While healthcare disparities related to race and ethnicity are well reported for non-emergent conditions, the literature on disparities in outcomes of emergent spinal conditions such as cauda equina syndrome (CES) remains sparse.

Objective: To evaluate racial disparities in complication, mortality, and readmission rates following surgical intervention for CES.

Methods: This retrospective analysis of The Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) database demonstrates that among patients surgically treated for CES in New York between 2015 and 2020.
