Unlabelled: This study evaluates the midterm outcomes of Lisfranc injuries in adolescents operatively treated with Kirschner wire or screw fixation. Eight adolescent patients with Lisfranc injuries operatively treated in a single institution were included in this study. The mean duration of follow-up was 3.8 years. Analysis of radiographs with respect to the degree of initial displacement and final reduction was carried out in terms of the intermetatarsal distances. All cases were scored functionally using the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Midfoot Scale. We concluded that most operatively treated cases of adolescent Lisfranc injuries will do well at the midterm follow-up, with a mean American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society Midfoot score of 93.4.
Level Of Evidence: Level 4 (Case series).

Background: Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain cancer with a 5-year survival rate of 5-10%. Current therapeutic options are limited, due in part to drug exclusion by the blood-brain barrier, restricting access of targeted drugs to the tumor. The receptor for the type 1 insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1R) was identified as a therapeutic target in glioblastoma.

Background And Objectives: Lipid metabolism in older adults is affected by various factors including biological aging, functional decline, reduced physiologic reserve, and nutrient intake. The dysregulation of lipid metabolism could adversely affect brain health. This study investigated the association between year-to-year intraindividual lipid variability and subsequent risk of cognitive decline and dementia in community-dwelling older adults.
