Introduction: We propose and assess the biomechanical stability of medial column screw supplementation in a synthetic distal femur fracture model.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four low density synthetic femora modeling osteoporotic, intraarticular distal femur fractures with medial metaphyseal comminution were split into two fixation groups: (1) lateral locking distal femur plate (PA- plate alone) and (2) lateral locking distal femur plate with a 6.5 mm fully threaded medial cannulated screw (PWS- plate with screw).
The Hewlett Packard Enterprise-Cray EX Frontier is the world's first and fastest exascale supercomputer, hosted at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility in Tennessee, United States. Frontier is a significant electricity consumer, drawing 8-30 MW; this massive energy demand produces significant waste heat, requiring extensive cooling measures. Although harnessing this waste heat for campus heating is a sustainability goal at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), the 30 °C-38 °C waste heat temperature poses compatibility issues with standard HVAC systems.

Design: A retrospective chart review.
Setting: Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center.
Background: In the absence of a gold-standard diagnostic modality for cellulitis, sterile inflammatory disorders may be misdiagnosed as cellulitis.
Objective: To determine the utility of skin biopsy and tissue culture for the diagnosis and management of patients admitted with a diagnosis of presumed cellulitis.
Design: Pilot single-blind parallel group randomized controlled clinical trial in 56 patients with a primary diagnosis of presumed cellulitis.
