AI Article Synopsis
- Cyclops lesions can occur after ACL reconstruction, with around 11% of patients experiencing symptoms known as cyclops syndrome.
- This case study details a 28-year-old woman who had an ACL tear and developed a cyclops lesion two years after her surgery, which was surgically removed.
- After suffering from pain and stiffness, a smaller recurrent cyclops lesion was found and treated successfully, marking this as the first known case of such a recurrence following ACL reconstruction.
Article Abstract
Background: Cyclops lesions are a known complication of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, with symptomatic cyclops syndrome occurring in up to 11% of surgeries. Recurrent cyclops lesions have been rarely documented; this case study documents the successful treatment of a recurrent cyclops lesion.
Case Summary: A 28-year-old female presented following a non-contact injury to the right knee. Workup and clinical exam revealed an ACL tear, and arthroscopic reconstruction was performed. Two years later a cyclops lesion was discovered and removed arthroscopic synovectomy. Seven months postoperatively, the patient presented with pain, stiffness, and difficulty achieving terminal extension. A smaller recurrent cyclops lesion was diagnosed, and a repeat synovectomy was performed. The patient recovered fully.
Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first documented case of recurrent cyclops lesion after bone-patellar tendon-bone allograft ACL reconstruction presenting as cyclops syndrome.

This case report examines the hospital course of a 75-year-old male with a history of atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), who presented with compromised respiratory status and recurrent infections, highlighting the complexities of clinical management in the setting of multidrug-resistant HFpEF organisms and postoperative complications. The patient was admitted following an episode of ventricular tachycardia and acute respiratory failure, requiring rapid airway management and intensive clinical intervention.

Article Synopsis
- Pneumothorax, or free air in the pleural space, is often linked to underlying lung diseases, with common causes being COPD, TB, HIV, cystic fibrosis, and smoking; secondary spontaneous pneumothorax is typically marked by symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pain, and cough, along with frequent persistent air leaks.
- A study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of different pleurodesis agents including doxycycline, tetracycline, and minocycline on stopping air leaks and preventing pneumothorax recurrence in adults with persistent air leaks.
- Results showed that autologous blood patch pleurodesis (ABPP) had the highest success rate (94.7%), followed by doxy

Irreversible alveolar bone resorption is one of the important clinical manifestations of periodontitis, which is initiated by a plaque biofilm and exacerbated by the imbalance of osteoclast activity and osteogenesis, affecting a patient's masticatory function and resulting in a high recurrence rate of periodontitis. Herein, to reestablish bone homeostasis in periodontitis, a minocycline hydrochloride (MH)-loaded glycopeptide hydrogel (MH/GRW) is fabricated to mediate alveolar bone absorption through sequential antibacterial and RANKL-blocking activities. GRW shows an ECM-like fibrous and porous microstructure serving as a scaffold for cell proliferation and differentiation and holds the merits including injectability, self-healing properties, and good biocompatibility.

Article Synopsis
- Pyoderma gangrenosum (PG) is a rare skin disease marked by painful ulcers and is often linked to other health issues like inflammatory bowel disease and joint pain, leading to delays in diagnosis and treatment.
- A study analyzed the clinical characteristics and treatment strategies of 14 patients hospitalized for PG, revealing common ulcer types and the frequent use of glucocorticoids for treatment.
- The findings suggest that PG is not uncommon in males and emphasize the need for better awareness among healthcare providers to enhance diagnosis and patient outcomes.
