This article summarizes the proceedings of the RSA 2004 Combined Basic Research Satellite Meeting convened at the Westin Bayshore Resort and Marina, Vancouver, CA. The session "Hepatitis virus and alcohol interactions in immunity and liver disease" featured four speakers and was chaired by Drs. Diane Lucas and Samuel French. The presentations were 1) Mitochondrial effects of HCV proteins and alcohol by Steve Weinman, 2) Chronic alcohol consumption accelerates viral hepatitis and T-cell hepatitis via dysregulation of cytokine signaling by Bin Gao 3) Interactions between alcohol, hepatitis C virus and innate defense pathways by Steve Polyak and 4) Scavenger Receptor-mediated modulation of the innate and adaptive immune responses following chronic ethanol consumption by Geoffrey Thiele.

Satisfactory Clinical Outcomes After Latissimus Dorsi Tendon Transfer for Irreparable Posterosuperior Massive Rotator Cuff Tears: A 10- to 20-Year Follow-up.
Am J Sports Med
December 2024
Clinique Jouvenet, Ramsay Santé, Paris, France.
Article Synopsis
- Latissimus dorsi tendon transfer (LDTT) has been shown to improve shoulder function and reduce pain over a long-term period, particularly in patients with irreparable massive rotator cuff tears, although those with fatty infiltration of certain muscles may have worse outcomes.
- This study followed 143 patients who underwent LDTT between 2004 and 2013, collecting data on complications and outcomes after a minimum of 10 years, with some patients ultimately needing further surgery (reverse shoulder arthroplasty).
- Out of the tracked patients, 101 were evaluated at an average of 12.3 years post-surgery, providing valuable long-term insights into the effectiveness of LDTT in enhancing shoulder mobility and function.
Survivorship and clinical outcomes of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with large glenoid defects using the stilting technique and a baseplate with central ingrowth cage and peripheral locking screws.

Background: Stilting is a novel technique used in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) in patients with significant glenoid bone loss. This technique utilizes peripheral locking screws placed behind an unseated portion of the baseplate to transmit forces from the baseplate to the cortical surface of the glenoid, without the need for bone grafting. The stilted screw, once locked, provides a fixed angle point of support for this unseated aspect of a baseplate.

Article Synopsis
- Quantum processor designs need to scale up qubit numbers while ensuring strong connectivity and high accuracy in operations.
- Current semiconductor spin qubit arrays face limitations due to wiring and interference, but the new SpinBus architecture addresses these by connecting qubits through electron shuttling and using lower frequencies for better performance.
- Simulations show that the SpinBus approach can support at least 144 qubits with high fidelity, potentially enabling future quantum processors to meet the demands of scalable quantum computing.
Glenoid bone loss in shoulder arthroplasty: a narrative review.
Ann Jt
January 2024
Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada.
Background And Objective: Crucial to the success of any total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is the stability of the glenoid component fixation. Instability can lead to early implant failure and unsatisfactory results. Patients often present with varying forms of glenoid bone loss (GBL) in both the primary and revision settings, which can be a challenge for the treating surgeon.

Biplane radiography has emerged as the gold standard for accurately measuring in vivo skeletal kinematics during physiological loading. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the extent, range, and nature of biplane radiography research on humans from 2004 through 2022. A literature search was performed using the terms biplane radiography, dual fluoroscopy, dynamic stereo X-ray, and biplane videoradiography.
