Reducing Surgical Site Infections With Silver Impregnated Dressings in Lower Extremity Bypass Patients.
J Surg Res
January 2025
Department of Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York; Division of Vascular Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York.
Introduction: Surgical site infection (SSI) after lower extremity (LE) bypass surgery is associated with longer length of stay, higher hospital cost, increased morbidity, and even graft loss. Silver impregnated dressings have been used by other surgical subspecialties to decrease SSI with reported success. The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) published a national expected rate of 7.

Clin Orthop Relat Res
January 2025
Department of Radiology, Chongqing Health Center for Women and Children/Women and Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, PR China.
Background: Nonweightbearing preoperative assessments avoid quadriceps contraction that tends to affect patellar motion and appear to be inaccurate in quantifying anatomic factors, which can lead to incorrect corrections and postoperative complications.
Questions/purposes: (1) Does the relationship of patellar axial malalignment and other anatomic factors change during weightbearing? (2) What anatomic factor was most strongly correlated with recurrent patellar dislocation during weightbearing?
Methods: This prospective, comparative, observational study recruited participants at our institution between January 2023 and September 2023. During this time, all patients with recurrent patellar dislocations received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans; control patients who received unilateral CT scans because of injuries or benign tumors received both weightbearing and nonweightbearing CT scans.
REVEAL-CP: Selective Screening of Pediatric Patients for Aromatic L-Amino Acid Decarboxylase Deficiency with a Guthrie Card and Structural Modeling of One Index Case.
Genet Test Mol Biomarkers
January 2025
PTC Therapeutics Germany GmbH, Frankfurt, Germany.
The main objective of this prospective, multicenter study (REVEAL-CP) was to test children with cerebral palsy-like signs and symptoms for raised 3--methyldopa (3-OMD) blood levels, a biomarker for aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency (AADCd). A secondary objective was to characterize the molecular basis for the defective aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) gene product. Patients were identified in pediatric secondary and tertiary care hospitals through database searches and personal communication.

J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (Schultz), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA (Zhuang), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California-San Francisco, San Francisco, CA (Shapiro), Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, VOICES Health Policy Research Center, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (Kamal).
Background: Social drivers of health (SDOH) are area-level, nonmedical factors that affect health outcomes. By contrast, health-related social needs (HRSNs) are individual patient reported and are being deployed in some payment models. SDOH are often used to broadly represent health disparities of communities through metrics, such as the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI); however, the association of area-level SVI to individual HRSNs has not been well studied in hand surgery, which has implications for addressing social risks to improve health and in quality measurement.

Pediatr Infect Dis J
January 2025
From the Department of Pediatrics, Niigata University, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Niigata, Japan.
Background: The spread of the BA.5 Omicron variant of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has increased the number of hospitalized children. However, the impact of the spread of new omicron subvariants in children remains poorly described.
