Published: January 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to illustrate an overview of the registries currently operative in many countries to support the introduction of new prospective registries in other countries.

Methods: The authors carried out a systematic web research in July 2021 to identify national ACL registries' annual reports and scientific literature on national ACL registries. The latest annual public registry reports were collected and analyzed in this study.

Results: There are currently established national ACL registries in Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg, New Zealand, the United Kingdom (UK), and the Kaiser Permanente National Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Registry in the United States (US). Some differences can be found among the various registries due to the local healthcare system structure, data management rules, and general national laws.

Conclusion: It is possible to develop accessible, cost-effective and entirely web-based ACL registries-as demonstrated by the Danish and Swedish registries-respecting the national legislation of different countries. This study supports the introduction of new ACL prospective registries in other countries to obtain valuable information for implementing daily clinical practice.

Level Of Evidence: IV.

Effective targeting of somatic cancer mutations to enhance the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy requires an individualized approach. Autogene cevumeran is a uridine messenger RNA lipoplex-based individualized neoantigen-specific immunotherapy designed from tumor-specific somatic mutation data obtained from tumor tissue of each individual patient to stimulate T cell responses against up to 20 neoantigens. This ongoing phase 1 study evaluated autogene cevumeran as monotherapy (n = 30) and in combination with atezolizumab (n = 183) in pretreated patients with advanced solid tumors.

Article Synopsis
  • This review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of single-bundle (SB) vs. double-bundle (DB) techniques in ACL reconstruction, analyzing ten different studies to primarily assess knee stability and functional outcomes.
  • Results indicated no significant differences in knee stability (Lachman and pivot-shift tests) or patient-reported outcomes (IKDC and Lysholm scores) between SB and DB techniques, suggesting both are equally effective.
  • Moderate variability among the studies pointed to the need for more standardized research methods to confirm these findings across various patient groups.

AMETIS Preplanned Ancillary Study: Impact of Agitation During Mechanical Thrombectomy Under Sedation.

Stroke

January 2025

Anesthésie et Neuro-Réanimation chirurgicale Babinski, Département d'Anesthésie-Réanimation, Assistance Publique Hôpitaux de Paris (AP-HP), Groupe Hospitalier Pitié-Salpêtrière, Sorbonne Université, France (C.T., R.B., A.J., V.D.).

Article Synopsis
  • Mechanical thrombectomy is a common treatment for ischemic strokes, but sedation during the procedure can cause agitation in patients.
  • This study, part of the AMETIS research, evaluated patients who experienced agitation and found that 38% had at least one episode during the procedure.
  • Although agitation didn’t significantly affect thrombolysis scores or overall outcomes, it did correlate with a higher need for intubation and poorer radiological image quality.

Background: Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) suffered from an increasing risk of cardiovascular diseases. In this multi-center prospective study, we aimed to determine the association between antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in SLE.

Methods: In total, 1573 SLE patients were recruited based on the Chinese SLE Treatment and Research group (CSTAR) registry.

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a painful joint disease characterized by the degradation of bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues in the joint. PTOA is initiated by trauma to joint-stabilizing tissues, such as the anterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, or by intra-articular fractures. In humans, ~50% of joint injuries progress to PTOA, while the rest spontaneously resolve.
