Active Treatment of Pediatric Ganglia of the Wrist: What is the Risk of Recurrence?

Background: Ganglion cysts are the most common soft tissue mass in the hand and wrist in both adults and children. More is known about wrist ganglia and their treatment outcomes in adults than in children. Current literature to guide the management of pediatric wrist ganglia is limited.

The "N+10 Rule" to Avoid Graft-Tunnel Mismatch in Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone ACL Reconstruction Using Independent Femoral Tunnel Drilling.

Background: Graft-tunnel mismatch (GTM) is a common problem in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) using bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) grafts.

Hypothesis: Application of the "N+10 rule" in endoscopic ACLR with BPTB grafts will result in acceptable tibial tunnel length (TTL), minimizing GTM.

Study Design: Controlled laboratory study.

Subset-specific Retention of Donor Myeloid Cells After Major Histocompatibility Complex-matched and Mismatched Liver Transplantation.

Background: During solid organ transplantation, donor leukocytes, including myeloid cells, are transferred within the organ to the recipient. Both tolerogenic and alloreactive roles have been attributed to donor myeloid cells; however, their subset-specific retention posttransplantation has not been investigated in detail.

Methods: Major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-matched and mismatched liver transplants were performed in mice, and the fate of donor and recipient myeloid cells was assessed.

Vascular Complications in Sports Surgery: Diagnosis and Management.

Orthopedic sports surgery of the knee and shoulder is generally considered to be safe and effective. Vascular complications can occur during or after arthroscopy of either joint. A thorough understanding of anatomy, particularly when placing portals in non-routine locations, is extremely important.

Nutrient Intake and Gut Microbial Genera Changes after a 4-Week Placebo Controlled Galacto-Oligosaccharides Intervention in Young Females.

Recent interest in the gut-brain-axis has highlighted the potential of prebiotics to impact wellbeing, and to affect behavioral change in humans. In this clinical trial, we examined the impact of four-weeks daily supplementation of galacto-oligosaccharides (GOS) on self-reported nutrient intake and relationships on gut microbiota in a four-week two-armed parallel double-blind placebo controlled GOS supplement trial in young adult females. Food diaries and stool samples were collected prior to and following 28 days of supplement consumption.
