Rationale: When gland-preserving treatments are unsuccessful, sialoadenectomy is typically conducted for patients afflicted with submandibular gland diseases. The definitive treatment modality for these individuals is the removal of both the gland and the associated ducts. During surgery, the gland and the majority of the ducts can be excised utilizing the lateral transcervical approach, with residual ducts unlikely to develop pathology.

Purpose: Tibial rotational deformity is a known risk factor for patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders. However, it is commonly associated with other abnormalities which affect the PFJ. The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence of associated factors known to affect PFJ in patients undergoing rotational tibial osteotomy and their implication for the correction level.

Article Synopsis
  • About 20% of familial ALS cases are linked to mutations in the SOD1 gene, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is identified as a possible risk factor.
  • Researchers studied the effects of repetitive TBI on ALS progression in SOD1 mouse models and the role of Sarm1, a regulator of axonal degeneration.
  • Results showed that TBI worsened ALS symptoms and disease progression, but losing Sarm1 helped improve outcomes and reduced nerve damage, indicating potential for SARM1-targeted treatments.
