Conservative Management of Kienbock's Disease in a 7-year Old: A Case Report.

 Kienbock's disease is primarily seen in young adult males but has been recognized in skeletally immature populations as well. Traditional treatment strategies recommend operative treatment but high remodeling potential in children may allow conservative management.  We present the case of a 7-year-old female with 2 months of atraumatic right wrist pain who was found to have edematous signal change within the lunate on wrist magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) consistent with Kienbock's disease.

Outcomes of displaced adolescent distal third tibia fractures: can we do better?

Because adolescent distal third tibia fractures pose treatment challenges, we aimed to identify factors predictive of failure among common treatment methods: casting without manipulation, closed reduction and casting (CRC) and open treatment. Among displaced fractures, we compared outcomes between CRC versus open treatment. Skeletally immature individuals (10-17 years) with extra-articular distal third tibia fractures at a level 1 trauma center (2011-2017) were retrospectively reviewed.

Olefin Metathesis-Based Fluorescent Probes for the Selective Detection of Ethylene in Live Cells.

Ethylene is an important plant hormone that is involved in a variety of developmental processes including agriculturally important ripening of certain fruits. Owing to its significant roles, a number of approaches have previously been developed to detect ethylene via molecular interactions. However, there are no current approaches for detection that are selective via a discrete homogeneous molecular interaction.
