Article Synopsis
- Olecranon bursitis is the most common type of bursitis and is usually treated with noninvasive methods; however, some cases require surgery when these treatments fail.
- Traditionally, recalcitrant cases have been addressed through open bursectomy, but there's a growing interest in using arthroscopy as a less invasive alternative.
- Although there isn’t a clear consensus on the best surgical method yet, the endoscopic approach could lead to better recovery outcomes, like less discomfort and a quicker return to normal activities.
Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of endoscopic olecranon bursectomy for treating chronic olecranon bursitis, focusing on patient demographics, types of bursitis, and complications.
- - Data was collected from 28 patients who underwent the procedure between January 2018 and May 2021, revealing a mix of aseptic (54%) and septic (46%) bursitis cases, with a follow-up period averaging 24.7 months.
- - Results showed that 86% of patients reported no issues post-surgery, and there were no instances of recurrence or the need for additional operations; however, four patients experienced minor complications within three months of the procedure.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of our novel chronic patellar tendon repair with allograft augmentation in an active-duty military population. From 2014 to 2018, five patients with chronic patellar tendon ruptures were treated with a primary repair of the patellar tendon augmented with Achilles tendon allograft. All patients were followed for 12 months, and their range of motion, Lysholm scores, and straight leg raise ability were assessed.

Instructors of college-level science courses often have a strong desire to use techniques and concepts from the fields of educational psychology and pedagogy, but it can be difficult to adapt information from those fields to specific technical topics such as mass spectrometry. A useful technique to apply various learning theories to teaching a specific topic is to distinguish between skills and concepts that are needed to understand and apply that topic to various problems. This report summarizes information gathered at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry 2021 Undergraduate Research Interest Group Workshop and seeks to identify essential skills and concepts that need to be taught to undergraduate students learning about mass spectrometry.
