Pediatric Off-Road Vehicle Injuries: Side-by-Sides Worse for the Upper Extremity.

Objectives: Side-by-side (SXS) and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) are different off-road vehicles (ORVs) but often categorized together in the literature. We hypothesized pediatric upper extremity (UE) fracture patterns and injury severity scores (ISS) differ between ORV types.

Methods: The authors' home-state trauma repository identified 157 pediatric patients aged 0 to 17 years with UE fractures after ORV accidents during 2011-2021.

LINE-1 retrotransposons contribute to mouse PV interneuron development.

Retrotransposons are mobile DNA sequences duplicated via transcription and reverse transcription of an RNA intermediate. Cis-regulatory elements encoded by retrotransposons can also promote the transcription of adjacent genes. Somatic LINE-1 (L1) retrotransposon insertions have been detected in mammalian neurons.

Suture Anchor Fixation for Lunate Osteochondral Shear Fracture: A Case Report.

Case: A 26-year-old right-hand-dominant man sustained a left transradial, translunate perilunate injury after motor vehicle collision. The proximal lunate fractured a primarily cartilaginous 15 × 15 mm osteochondral shear fragment with 40% articular surface involvement. A novel lunate fracture suture anchor fixation technique is described, which led to fracture healing.

Clinical course of patients with adrenal incidentalomas and cortisol autonomy: a German retrospective single center cohort study.

Background: Adrenal incidentalomas with cortisol autonomy are associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Specific data on the clinical and biochemical course of affected patients are lacking.

Methods: Retrospective study from a tertiary referral centre in Germany.

Intraosseous Catfish Barb Treated With Cannulated Drill in a Pediatric Patient.

Catfish injuries to the upper extremity following fishing activities are common in the southern United States, especially because noodling is commonplace in this region. Noodling is when a fisher will stick their hand into an area where a catfish is guarding its eggs and grab the catfish by its mouth. Different mechanisms of injury, including envenomation and spine embedment, can occur and ultimately lead to different patient presentations, including the retention of foreign bodies or infection.
