It has become a common practice to obtain weight-bearing radiographs for the assessment of early-stage osteoarthritis of the knee, and weight bearing with the knee in full extension has been the most common method. Other methods for evaluating knee joint space using weight-bearing radiography include the Rosenberg and 20/10 views. Eighty consecutive patients with knee pain were evaluated with standing Rosenberg and standing 20/10 views as part of their radiographic evaluation. The joint space for the right and left knee of each patient was measured. There was no statistically significant difference between the measurements for the 20/10 or Rosenberg views in left or right knees. We found no indication to additionally include 20/10 views in routine examinations of osteoarthritic knees when Rosenberg views had been obtained.

Private Practice, Western Cape, South Africa.
Background: This study used micro-focus X-ray Computed Tomography (micro-XCT) to examine the anatomical differences and dimensions of the maxillary incisive canal (MIC) in a South African population. The accurate imaging yielded dependable results that support earlier research and enhance anterior maxilla surgery planning. Furthermore, these anatomical features are compared between various racial and gender groupings in the study.

Study Objectives: We have previously estimated that the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers is 75% and identified that having symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is an independent risk factor for OSA in this population. Nasal inflammation and/or elevated awake nasal resistance that carried over into sleep could explain this association. To understand the mechanism(s) for the elevated risk of OSA observed in World Trade Center responders with CRS symptoms we examined if elevated awake supine nasal resistance was associated with OSA, CRS and/or nasal inflammatory biomarkers.

Bristol Surgical and Perioperative Care Complex Intervention Collaboration, Bristol Medical School, Bristol, UK.
Background: Breast cancer treatment is multimodal, but not all patients benefit from each treatment, and many experience morbidities significantly impacting quality of life. There is increasing interest in tailoring breast cancer treatments to optimize oncological outcomes and reduce treatment burden, but it is vital that future trials focus on treatments that most impact patients. This study was designed to explore patient experiences of treatment to inform future research.

Department of Pediatrics, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, Washington.
Study Objectives: We undertook a study to describe and compare sleep deficiency and symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in youth with childhood systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) to a healthy comparison group of youth and test the associations between sleep and symptoms of pain, fatigue, and depressed mood in youth with cSLE.
Methods: Forty-three youth (23 youth with cSLE; 20 age- and sex-matched healthy youth) wore actigraphs and completed sleep diaries for 10 days and completed self-report questionnaires on sleep quality, pain, fatigue, and depressed mood.
Results: On average, both groups had a total sleep time of less than 7 hours.
