Unlabelled: We retrospectively reviewed the treatment and outcomes of diaphyseal femur fractures in a cohort of nonambulatory children. There were 30 patients (38 fractures) reviewed [average age of 10.1 years (range: 1.8-17.8)]. Fractures were treated with locked plate/screw fixation (n=18), with a complication rate of 24% (9/38). Patients with elastic stable intramedullary nailing experienced the highest complication rate (5/7, 71%) compared with plate/screw fixation (2/18, 11%) (P=0.01) and underwent greater subsequent procedures (n=5, 63%). Surgeons should consider locked plate and screw fixation as their first treatment choice in this challenging patient population.
Level Of Evidence: III, therapeutic study; retrospective comparative study.

L-Arginine and L-Citrulline for Prevention and Treatment of Pre-Eclampsia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
BJOG
January 2025
Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health Program, Burnet Institute, Melbourne, Australia.
Background: Evidence suggests L-arginine may be effective at reducing pre-eclampsia and related outcomes. However, whether L-arginine can prevent or only treat pre-eclampsia, and thus the target population and timing of initiation, remains unknown.
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of L-arginine and L-citrulline (precursor of L-arginine) on the prevention and treatment of pre-eclampsia.
Segmental colectomy versus total proctocolectomy for ulcerative colitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Colorectal Dis
January 2025
Cleveland Clinic, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
Aim: Total proctocolectomy (TPC) is the standard of care for patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) and dysplasia not amenable to endoscopic management. However, the risks of an extensive resection may outweigh the benefits in high-risk surgical patients. Therefore, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess postoperative outcomes between segmental colectomy (SEG) versus TPC in patients with UC.

Background/objectives: Anaplastic large cell lymphomas (ALCLs) present unique challenges due to their clinical and genetic heterogeneity. This study investigated the clinical characteristics of children diagnosed with systemic ALCL.
Methods: Retrospective data from 14 pediatric patients diagnosed with systemic ALCL at Valme University Hospital were studied.
Molecular Identification and Antifungal Susceptibility of Fusarium spp. Clinical Isolates.
Mycoses
January 2025
Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán, Mexico City, Mexico.
Background: Accurate identification of Fusarium species requires molecular identification. Treating fusariosis is challenging due to widespread antifungal resistance, high rates of treatment failure, and insufficient information relating antifungal susceptibility to the clinical outcome. Despite recent outbreaks in Mexico, there is limited information on epidemiology and antifungal susceptibility testing (AST).

Purpose: Synchronous esophageal (EC) and rectal carcinoma (RC) is a rare and challenging condition, particularly in curative-intended treatment. Especially locally advanced tumors may not be suitable for primary resection and require individual multimodal treatment. This review examines curative-intended management of synchronous EC and RC.
