Background: Lp(a; Lipoprotein[a]) is a predictor of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD); however, there are few algorithms incorporating Lp(a), especially from real-world settings. We developed an electronic health record (EHR)-based risk prediction algorithm including Lp(a).
Methods: Utilizing a large EHR database, we categorized Lp(a) cut points at 25, 50, and 75 mg/dL and constructed 10-year ASCVD risk prediction models incorporating Lp(a), with external validation in a pooled cohort of 4 US prospective studies.
The aim of the study was to compare the outcomes of bone transport in treating upper- middle vs. lower- middle tibial bone defects. Sixty-two patients with tibial infected large segmental defects treated by bone transport were analyzed retrospectively and divided into distal group (lower- middle tibial bone defects and proximal transport, n=38) and proximal group (upper- middle tibial bone defects and distal transport, n=24).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAccurate survival prediction of patients with long-bone metastases is challenging, but important for optimizing treatment. The Skeletal Oncology Research Group (SORG) machine learning algorithm (MLA) has been previously developed and internally validated to predict 90-day and 1-year survival. External validation showed promise in the United States and Taiwan.

The intercalation of metal chlorides, and particularly iron chlorides, into graphitic carbon structures has recently received lots of attention, as it can not only protect this two-dimensional (2D) magnetic system from the effects of the environment but also substantially alter the magnetic, electronic, and optical properties of both the intercalant and host material. At the same time, intercalation can result in the formation of structural defects or defects can appear under external stimuli, which can affect materials performance. These aspects have received so far little attention in dedicated experiments.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a new arthroscopic method for reconstructing the popliteus tendon (PT). This minimally invasive technique is performed through the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee, which can reconstruct the posterolateral rotary instability (PLRI) of the knee.
Methods: Thirty-nine patients (8 females, 31 males) with PLC injury and normal knee alignment underwent arthroscopic PT reconstruction.
