Association Between Nail Type and Aseptic Revision Risk After Cephalomedullary Nailing for Hip Fracture.

J Bone Joint Surg Am

January 2025

Surgical Outcomes and Analysis Department, Kaiser Permanente, San Diego, California.

Background: Although the majority of intertrochanteric femoral fractures in the United States are now treated with cephalomedullary nailing, it remains uncertain whether differences in clinical performance by nail type exist. The purpose of this study was to compare the aseptic revision rates associated with the 3 most commonly utilized cephalomedullary nails in the United States today: the Gamma nail (Stryker), the INTERTAN (Smith+Nephew), and the Trochanteric Fixation Nail/Trochanteric Fixation Nail Advanced (TFN/TFNA; DePuy Synthes).

Methods: Using an integrated health-care system's hip fracture registry, patients ≥60 years of age who were treated with 1 of these 3 commonly used cephalomedullary nail devices were identified.

This case report describes Zoon's vulvitis or plasma cell vulvitis (PCV) with coexisting lichen planus (LP) treated with methotrexate. PCV is a rare, chronic, benign idiopathic inflammatory condition of the vulvar mucosa, characterized by a bright-red, chronic lesion of mucosa. Typically, it presents as atrophic, shiny, red plaques that can affect any part of the vulva and can spread symmetrically and bilaterally with the propensity of chronicity and gradual coalescence.

Characterization and analysis of extracellular vesicle-derived miRNAs from different adipose tissues in mice.

Heliyon

October 2024

State Key Laboratory of Pharmaceutical Biotechnology, School of Life Sciences, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu, 210023, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Adipose tissue is classified into three types: brown adipose tissue (BAT), white adipose tissue (WAT), and beige adipose tissue, each serving unique roles in energy metabolism.
  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) facilitate communication between cells and carry various biomolecules, but comparative analysis of EVs from different adipose tissues has not been fully examined.
  • The study focuses on isolating small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) from various adipose tissues, analyzing their microRNA content, and exploring how these miRNAs may influence intercellular communication and the specific functions of adipose tissues.
