Temporary dorsal plate spondylodesis with transpedunclar screwing has proved successful in the therapy of recent unstable injuries to the spine. This method allows a considerable reconstruction and stabilization of the vertebral body as well as an early mobilization of the patient. The mobility of the spine will not be essentially reduced if the spondylodesis plates are removed early, i.e. six to nine months after their insertion.

Downstaging of hepatocellular carcinoma before liver transplantation: Results from a national multi-center prospective cohort study.
Hepatology
January 2025
Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA.
Background Aims: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) meeting UNOS-downstaging (DS) criteria have excellent post-liver transplantation (LT) outcomes. Studies on HCC beyond UNOS-DS criteria ("All-comers" (AC)) have been limited by small sample size and short follow-up time, prompting this analysis.
Approach Results: 326 patients meeting UNOS-DS and 190 meeting AC criteria from 9 LT centers across 5 UNOS regions were enrolled from 2015 to 2023 and prospectively followed.
Soft Coagulation Versus Argon Plasma Coagulation After Large Non-pedunculated Colorectal Polyp Resection: A Meta-analysis.
J Clin Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology Creighton University, Omaha, NE.
Introduction: Thermal ablative methods (such as argon plasma coagulation (APC) and soft tip snare coagulation (STSC) are commonly used to treat polyp margins. We aim to appraise the current literature and compare clinical outcomes between patients with treated (with APC vs. STSC) and non-treated endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) margins.

Pediatric Critical Care, Lucile Packard Children's Hospital Stanford, Palo Alto, California.
Objectives: Pediatric neurocritical care (PNCC) patients experience high rates of morbidity, but comprehensive follow-up is not universal. We sought to identify predictors of functional decline in these children to guide future resource allocation.
Patients And Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study in a quaternary children's hospital pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) from July 2023 to December 2023.
Proteins and pathways involved in inflammation are longitudinally associated with total body bone mineral density among primarily hispanic overweight/obese adolescents and young adults.

Department of Population and Public Health Sciences, Keck School of Medicine, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, United States.
Bone mineral density (BMD), an important marker of bone health, is regulated by a complex interaction of proteins. Plasma proteomic analyses can contribute to identification of proteins associated with changes in BMD. This may be especially informative in stages of bone accrual and peak BMD achievement (i.

Andes Pediatr
August 2023
Fundación Valle del Lili, Cali, Colombia.
Advances in the field of genetics and genomics have had a great impact on the clinical practice of the pediatric nephrologist. Access to diagnostic genetic studies for renal pathologies allows not only to confirm specific diagnoses, but also to provide management and follow-up strategies, knowledge about prognosis, and prevention of complications. In addition, it provides genetic counseling to the patient and family and even helps to make decisions about family donor transplantation.
