Purpose: Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) remains a devastating complication of orthopaedic trauma. The tibial diaphysis is especially implicated in the development of ACS, both at the time of injury and after operative management. Identification of risk factors for ACS for these distinct scenarios has been investigated in a large cohort of patients.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study of all adults (age 18 years and older) presenting to a level 1 trauma centre with a diaphyseal tibia fracture. ACS was determined by a combination of clinical signs and symptoms and compartmental pressure monitoring. Potential risk factors were subject to univariate analysis with significant variables undergoing binary logistic regression analysis.
Results: 1147 tibial diaphyseal fractures over a twelve year period were studied. Age, multifragmented fracture pattern, male gender, high energy mechanism and intra- articular extension all showed a statistically significant association for ACS. Increasing body mass index (BMI) and treatment with an intramedullary nail favoured development of ACS post-operatively.
Conclusion: Risk factors for the development of ACS specifically in tibial diaphyseal fractures have been highlighted. Patients managed with IMN or high BMI may warrant particular observation following operative intervention.

Cutaneous mastocytosis (CM) is the most common type of mastocytosis in children. The atopy frequency in these patients is typically similar to that in the general population, but a higher incidence of anaphylaxis is reported. This study aimed to evaluate the presence of allergic diseases in children diagnosed with CM and its impact on clinical manifestations.

Objective: High triglyceride (TG) levels are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Some recent studies have shown that snoring is also closely related to elevated TG levels. The specific pathogenesis of elevated TG levels in snoring patients is still unclear.

Alarmins are a class of molecules released when affected cells damaged or undergo apoptosis. They contain various chemotactic and immunomodulatory proteins or peptides. These molecules regulate the immune response by interacting with pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and play important roles in inflammatory response, tissue repair, infection defense, and cancer treatment.

Background: Perianal fistula is one of the complications of deepened anal fissure. The present case-control study aimed to assess the risk factors of fissure-associated fistulas due to the limited available evidence.
Methods: Patients with fissure-associated fistulas were considered as case, and patients with anal fissure who were undergoing medical treatment without any previous anorectal surgeries were considered as control group.

Objective: This study aims to explore the predictive value of endplate morphology and pedicle screw bone quality score on screw loosening after single-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 207 patients who underwent single-level lumbar spinal fusion (34 in the screw loosening group and 173 in the non-screw loosening group). Univariate analysis and binary logistic regression model analysis were performed using SPSS 27.
