() is a recently described non-tuberculous mycobacterium phylogenetically close to and . This pathogen classically causes nodular thelitis in cattle and goats. Here, we discuss what seems to be the first described case of infection in a novel anatomical site, in the proximal or distal position (information not available) of the radius/ulna area of a cow. As this case was discovered in the framework of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) surveillance program in France, this type of infection could interfere with the screening and diagnostic tools employed for bTB.

Osteogenesis with impact-loading exercise is often assessed by the extra bone growth induced in the loaded arm of tennis players. We used PRISMA to explore % bone mineral content (BMC) and area (BA) asymmetry in players 8-30 years according to weekly training hours, age, sex, maturity, and bone segment. Proper statistics for 70 groups were extracted by two reviewers from 18 eligible studies of low risk of bias (< 35, STROBE) and good quality (> 70%).

Introduction: Postoperative infections are a leading cause of morbidity following fracture repair. The purpose of this study is to develop a risk score predicting fracture-related infection (FRI) that will require one versus multiple revision surgeries related to infection eradication and bone healing.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study conducted at a single level I trauma center from 2013 to 2020.

The purpose of this study was to establish typical dose values at orthopaedic operating rooms of the Larnaca General Hospital (LGH). Kerma area product (KAP), fluoroscopy time (FT) and cumulative air-kerma (K) measurements were collected for 821 patients who underwent common and reproducible trauma surgery over a five-year period, with three mobile C-arm systems; two equipped with an image-intensifier and one with a flat-panel detector. Dose indices were automatically extracted from radiation dose structured reports or DICOM meta-data files archived in the PACS, using custom-made software.

Nutritional status significantly impacts linear bone growth. We aimed to determine the relationship between the trajectories of four body composition indicators and pubertal advanced bone age. Trajectories of body mass index z-score (BMI z-score), visceral fat area z-score (VFA z-score), fat mass index z-score (FMI z-score), and fat-free mass index z-score (FFMI z-score) were identified based on three body composition measurements conducted from October 2018 to April 2023 within a pediatric cohort (the PROC study).

Objectives: To assess patients' opioid prescription usage and pain management satisfaction after fracture surgery.
Design: An IRB-approved prospective prognostic cohort study for postoperative patients with fracture was conducted. Patients were evaluated by an independent observer at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months postoperatively where they were given Detroit Interventional Pain Assessment questionnaires regarding their postoperative pain and opioid usage.
