Diagnostic accuracy of point-of-care ultrasound of the posterior fatpad in elbow fractures.

Background: Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) can potentially be used in the triage of patients with elbow injuries. However, the diagnostic accuracy of POCUS performed by non-radiologists for the exclusion of elbow fractures is yet unknown. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic potential of POCUS of the posterior fatpad performed by non-radiologists in the workup of adult patients presenting with elbow injuries.

Genomics yields biological and phenotypic insights into bipolar disorder.

Bipolar disorder is a leading contributor to the global burden of disease. Despite high heritability (60-80%), the majority of the underlying genetic determinants remain unknown. We analysed data from participants of European, East Asian, African American and Latino ancestries (n = 158,036 cases with bipolar disorder, 2.

Neoadjuvant Immunotherapy Followed by Surgery Compared with Upfront Surgery Alone in Operable Colon Cancer with Deficient Mismatch Repair: Modeling Oncological Outcomes and Numbers Needed to Treat.

Background: Trials on neoadjuvant immunotherapy in operable colon cancer with deficient mismatch repair (dMMR) reported high pathological response rates in the surgical specimen, but long-term survival is not known. Neoadjuvant immunotherapy as a stand-alone therapy without subsequent radical surgery is currently not investigated in colon cancer.

Objective: The aim of this study was to model outcomes between trial data and real-world patients after surgery.
