Purpose: To assess the impact of hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) on National Hockey League (NHL) player performance, career length, and salary.
Methods: Through a retrospective review, all NHL players who underwent hip arthroscopy for FAIS from 2003 to 2023 were identified from a public online database. A 2:1 matched control cohort was used for comparison.
Osteoarthritis is a major contributor to pain and disability worldwide, yet there are currently no validated soluble biomarkers or disease-modifying treatments. Given that microRNAs are promising mechanistic biomarkers that can be therapeutically targeted, in this study, we aimed to identify and prioritize reproducible circulating microRNAs associated with radiographic knee osteoarthritis. Across four independent cohorts, we find circulating miR-126-3p is elevated in knee osteoarthritis versus controls.

In common with most rare diseases, there are no therapies to slow or stop disease progression. Sodium valproate, an anticonvulsant with neuroprotective properties, is anticipated to mediate its effect via alteration of cell cycle kinetics, increases in p21 expression levels and reduction in apoptosis and increase in Wolframin protein expression.

Key characteristics of typical disease include focal motor features at disease presentation, evolving through a caudocranial pattern into generalized dystonia, with prominent oromandibular, laryngeal and cervical involvement. Although -related disease is emerging as one of the most common causes of early-onset genetic dystonia, much remains to be understood about the full spectrum of the disease.
