Objectives: To compare hospital outcomes and late displacement between stress-positive minimally displaced lateral compression type 1 (LC1) pelvic ring injuries treated with combined anterior-posterior versus posterior-only fixation.
Design: Retrospective comparative cohort.
Setting: Urban level-one trauma center.
Patients/participants: LC1 injuries managed operatively.
Intervention: Anterior-posterior versus posterior-only fixation.
Main Outcome Measurements: Physical therapy (PT) clearance, discharge location, hospital length of stay (LOS), inpatient morphine equivalent doses (MED), and fracture displacement at follow-up.
Results: Groups were similar in demographic and injury characteristics (age, high energy mechanism, ASA score, stress displacement, and rami/sacral fracture classifications). Anterior-posterior fixation resulted in longer operative times (median difference (MD): 27.0 minutes, 95% confidence interval (CI): 17.0 to 40.0, P < 0.0001) and had a trend of increased estimated blood loss (MD: 10 mL, CI: 0 to 30, P = 0.07). Patients with anterior-posterior fixation required less inpatient MEDs (MD: -180.0, CI: -341.2 to -15.0, P = 0.02), were more likely to clear PT by discharge (100% vs. 70%, proportional difference (PD): 30%, CI: 2.0%-57.2%, P = 0.02), were less likely to discharge to rehabilitation facilities (0% vs. 30%, PD: 30%, CI: 2.0%-57.2%, P = 0.02), and had a trend of less days to clear PT after surgery (MD: -1, CI: -2 to 0, P = 0.09) and decreased LOS (MD: -1, CI: -4 to 1, P = 0.17). Late fracture displacement did not differ between groups.
Conclusion: Anterior-posterior fixation of LC1 injuries was associated with an improved early hospital course-specifically, reduced inpatient opioid use and an increased number of patients who could clear PT and discharge home.

Effectiveness and Safety of Irreversible Electroporation When Used for the Ablation of Stage 3 Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma: Initial Results from the DIRECT Registry Study.
Cancers (Basel)

University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, Iowa City, IA 52242, USA.
Background/objectives: Overall survival for patients with Stage 3 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains limited, with a median survival of 12 to 15 months. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a local tumor ablation method that induces cancerous cell death by disrupting cell membrane homeostasis. The DIRECT Registry study was designed to assess the effectiveness and safety of IRE when combined with standard of care (SOC) treatment for Stage 3 PDAC versus SOC alone in a real-world setting after at least 3 months of induction chemotherapy; Methods: Patients with Stage 3 PDAC treated with IRE plus SOC or SOC alone were prospectively enrolled in a multicenter registry study.

Background: Many objective measures of balance control, including force plate measures of standing balance, lack sufficient validation for use in the stroke population.
Research Questions: Do force plate measures of quiet standing balance during the sub-acute stage of stroke recovery have concurrent validity (i.e.
Combined anterior-posterior versus posterior only approach for surgical management of adult spinal deformity: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Eur Spine J

Department of Orthopedics, Cleveland Clinic Akron General, Akron, OH, USA.
Purpose: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to examine the clinical outcomes and complication rates for fusion procedures of adult spinal deformity (ASD) performed via an anterior-posterior approach as compared to a posterior-only approach to guide surgical decision-making. Numerous surgical techniques exist for operative management of ASD; however, no systematic review and meta-analysis exists comparing combined anterior-posterior approaches to posterior-only approach, despite significant interest in the current literature.
Methods: Four databases were used to collect articles from database inception until September 9th, 2023.

Background: Septic arthritis is a rare but devastating complication after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). While early treatment can prevent significant graft complications, outcomes are often inferior to those in uncomplicated ACLR. Furthermore, whether to retain or remove the graft after infection remains debatable.

In this study, standard 2D lung lobe quantification is compared with two 3D lung lobe quantification software tools to investigate the clinical benefit of a 3D approach. The accuracy of 2D versus 3D lung lobe quantification is evaluated based on the calculated numerical ventilation-perfusion ratio (VQR) using a receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis.A study group of 50 consecutive patients underwent a planar lung scintigraphy (anterior/posterior) as well as ventilation/perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT/CT) to exclude acute pulmonary embolism.
