Background: Plant foods are naturally rich in anti-inflammatory nutrients. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the association between the plant-based dietary index (PDI) and Mayo score in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study included 158 patients with UC. The Mayo score was used to determine disease severity. An expert nutritionist performed the anthropometric assessments. A 168-item quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to calculate the PDI, healthy PDI (hPDI), and unhealthy PDI (uPDI). To assess the association between the total Mayo score (as a dependent factor) and different indices of PDI (as an independent variable), the linear regression model was used.
Results: The mean age of participants was 42.52 ± 12.61 years. There were significant differences in the total Mayo score between tertiles of PDI score (p = 0.02). The result of linear regression showed that in the unadjusted model, compared with the patients in the first tertile of PDI, the patients in the second (-0.21 (-1.89, -0.17)), and third tertile (-0.21 (-1.95, -0.16)) had significantly lower total mayo scores. The inverse association remained significant after adjusting for covariates. However, uPDI and hPDI tertiles were not significantly associated with total Mayo scores in the adjusted and unadjusted models.
Conclusion: higher PDI was significantly associated with higher UC severity. However, considering the limitations of the study, more cohort studies are needed to confirm these results.

Long-term Comparative Outcomes of All-Inside Versus Inside-Out Repair of Bucket-Handle Meniscal Tears: A Cohort Study.
Orthop J Sports Med
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota, USA.
Background: Bucket-handle meniscal tears (BHMTs) are a common subtype of meniscal tears that represent a clinical challenge. Arthroscopic inside-out repair has been considered the gold standard in treatment; however, an all-inside approach has gained widespread popularity, with limited long-term evidence.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to (1) compare long-term clinical outcomes and rates of failure after surgical repair of BHMTs using the all-inside versus inside-out technique, and 2) identify risk factors for failure at long-term follow-up.
Differences in baseline cognitive performance between participants with early-onset and late-onset Alzheimer's disease: Comparison of LEADS and ADNI.
Alzheimers Dement

Department of Neurology, Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, Indiana, USA.
Introduction: Early-onset Alzheimer's disease (EOAD) and late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) share similar amyloid etiology, but evidence from smaller-scale studies suggests that they manifest differently clinically. Current analyses sought to contrast the cognitive profiles of EOAD and LOAD.
Methods: Z-score cognitive-domain composites for 311 amyloid-positive sporadic EOAD and 314 amyloid-positive LOAD participants were calculated from baseline data from age-appropriate control cohorts.
Background: Laparoscopic-assisted (LTAP) and ultrasound-guided (UTAP) transversus abdominis plane (TAP) blocks are widely used for postoperative analgesia in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC), yet their comparative effectiveness remains unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically evaluate and compare postoperative outcomes of LTAP and UTAP in LC.
Materials And Methodology: A comprehensive literature search of five electronic databases was conducted from the inception of the paper till 2 June 2024 following PRISMA guidelines.
Clinical application of multi-direction temporary Kapandji technique and volar locking plate fixation for type C distal radius fractures.
BMC Surg
December 2024
Department of Hand (Micro) Surgery, Binzhou Medical University Hospital, Binzhou, Shandong, China.
Purpose: Achieving and maintaining an optimal reduction in partially or fully displaced intra-articular fractures, specifically Type C distal radius fractures, can present challenges. This study aims to retrospectively evaluate and summarize a method utilizing multi-directional temporary Kapandji technique in combination with the volar locking plate fixation for these fractures.
Method: The study involved 15 patients diagnosed with Type C distal radius fractures who underwent surgery between January 2024 and April 2024.
Background: Decisions about stroke prevention strategies in atrial fibrillation (AF) typically balance thromboembolism reduction against increased bleeding from oral anticoagulation therapy (OAC). When determining eligibility for OAC, guidelines recommend calculation of thromboembolic event rates using a validated score such as CHA2DS2-VASc. In contrast, routine calculation of bleeding scores is not recommended, in part because many patient factors associated with an increased risk of bleeding are associated with an even larger increased risk of ischemic stroke.
