Purpose: Humeral shaft fractures are common orthopedic injuries, representing 1-5% of all fractures. There is conflicting literature regarding the superiority of operative versus nonoperative treatment of these fractures. The purpose of this study was to examine functional outcomes and time to radiographic union in humeral shaft fractures with the hypothesis that both would be improved in patients treated operatively relative to those treated nonoperatively.

Many surgical cases were canceled or delayed with only the most urgent and emergent cases taken up for treatment. It is unknown if and how these alterations affected patient outcomes.

Background: Career success in academic surgery is frequently defined as the achievement of a specific title, from full professor to department chair. This type of definition is convenient and established but potentially incomplete.
Article Synopsis
- Human studies found genetic variations near the LYPLAL1 gene that influence fat distribution and metabolic traits differently in males and females.
- Researchers created a mouse model lacking the LYPLAL1 gene and observed that female mice on a high-fat diet gained less weight and fat compared to male mice and showed different metabolic markers.
- The findings suggest that LYPLAL1 has a significant and conserved role in regulating obesity and metabolism based on sex, providing a new model to explore its potential effects in humans.
Background: Recent studies have suggested increased rates of lower extremity (LE) musculoskeletal injury after a diagnosed concussion, although significant heterogeneity exists.
Purpose: To examine the current body of research and determine whether there is an increased risk for LE musculoskeletal injury after a concussion and to identify populations at an increased risk.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3.
Context: Glycogen storage diseases are rare. Increased glycogen in the liver results in increased attenuation.
Objective: Investigate the association and function of a noncoding region associated with liver attenuation but not histologic nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
