Ameloblastic fibroma (AF), a slow-growing, benign tumor of odontogenic origin, represents 2% of all odontogenic tumors. Jaw expansion is among the most common symptoms, with diagnosis often made through routine radiographs. AFs have a recurrence rate of 18% to 43.5% after conservative enucleation. Long-term follow-up by both the surgeon and referring dentist is recommended, since recurrence may be due to regrowth of residual tumor undergoing malignant transformation. Aggressive management is recommended for local tumor recurrence. En bloc excision with bone grafting, followed by implant reconstruction, can be curative and preservative of function. Treatment of a recurrent AF is described.

Oral vs Intravenous Antibiotics for Fracture-Related Infections: The POvIV Randomized Clinical Trial.
JAMA Surg
January 2025
Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, Tennessee.
Importance: Fracture-related infection (FRI) is a serious complication following fracture fixation surgery. Current treatment of FRIs entails debridement and 6 weeks of intravenous (IV) antibiotics. Lab data and retrospective clinical studies support use of oral antibiotics, which are less expensive and may have fewer complications than IV antibiotics.

Temporal variation in nutritional status and preoperative anemia among patients with retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma: a retrospective longitudinal cohort study.
Langenbecks Arch Surg
January 2025
Department of General, Visceral and Transplantation Surgery, University Hospital Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany.
Purpose: Optimal management of retroperitoneal soft tissue sarcoma (RPS) often requires extensive tumor resections, frequently involving gastrointestinal organs. The impact of these procedures on the nutritional status and hemoglobin (Hb) levels of RPS patients remain unexplored. In this study, we aimed to evaluate preoperative nutritional status as well as the prevalence of anemia in RPS patients, and to investigate longitudinal changes throughout the disease course in order to identify potential strategies for prehabilitation.

Objective: This integrative review aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized tranexamic acid (TXA) in managing hemoptysis, assessing its potential as a non-invasive alternative to traditional invasive procedures.
Methods: An integrative review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42024584812). The search included databases such as PubMed, EMBASE, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, encompassing studies published up to August 7, 2024.
Primary diffuse leptomeningeal atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (ATRT) of childhood: a molecularly characterised case report and literature review.
Childs Nerv Syst
January 2025
The Geoffrey Jefferson Brain Research Centre, University of Manchester, Manchester Academic Health Science Centre, Manchester, UK.
Background: Atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumours (ATRTs) are malignant central nervous system tumours, typically presenting in the posterior fossa of very young children. Prognosis remains poor despite current therapy, while tumorigenesis implicates both genomic and epigenetic dysregulation. Primary diffuse leptomeningeal (PDL) ATRT, characterised by the absence of an intraparenchymal mass lesion, is seldom reported but appears associated with a dismal outcome.
