It is reported on five cases of Weber-Christian's syndrome which were observed in our institute during the last years due to difficulties involving motion organs. In three of the cases short-term arthritis was found and in one of the cases erosion arthritis of rheumatoid type was found, too. As far as the last case is concerned detailed information on the system manifestation of the patient is given; the disease started in her young days with regular relapses and visceral manifestation. At the same time typical morphologic changes in the subcutaneous fatty tissue and in the liver as well as clinical findings of diabetes, pericarditis and focal myocarditis were observed which proved a general disorder of the lipid metabolism.

Myeloid cannabinoid CB1 receptor deletion confers atheroprotection in male mice by reducing macrophage proliferation in a sex-dependent manner.
Cardiovasc Res
October 2024
Institute for Cardiovascular Prevention, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich, Pettenkoferstr. 9, 80336 Munich, Germany.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the cannabinoid CB1 receptor in atherosclerosis using a transgenic mouse model, focusing on myeloid-specific CB1 signalling.
- Male Cnr1-deficient mice developed smaller atherosclerotic lesions and showed reduced inflammatory responses compared to controls, while differences in females were less significant.
- The findings suggest that impaired CB1 signalling in macrophages could be protective against atherosclerosis in males, with the effects being influenced by sex hormones like oestrogen.
A pilot study on the efficacy of GPT-4 in providing orthopedic treatment recommendations from MRI reports.

Large language models (LLMs) have shown potential in various applications, including clinical practice. However, their accuracy and utility in providing treatment recommendations for orthopedic conditions remain to be investigated. Thus, this pilot study aims to evaluate the validity of treatment recommendations generated by GPT-4 for common knee and shoulder orthopedic conditions using anonymized clinical MRI reports.

December 2023
Faculty of Medicine and Psychology, University Hospital Sant' Andrea, University La Sapienza, 00185, Rome, Italy.
Purpose: Meniscal tears are common and may impair knee function and biomechanics. This meta-analysis compared meniscal repair versus resection in patients with symptomatic meniscal tears in terms of patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs), joint width, surgical failure, and rate of progression to osteoarthritis (OA) at conventional radiography.
Methods: This study was conducted according to the 2020 PRISMA statement.
Bacterial pathogens and in-hospital mortality in revision surgery for periprosthetic joint infection of the hip and knee: analysis of 346 patients.
Eur J Med Res
May 2023
Department of Orthopaedic, Trauma, and Reconstructive Surgery, RWTH University Hospital, Pauwelsstraße 30, 52074, Aachen, Germany.
Introduction: The management of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) of the lower limb is challenging, and evidence-based recommendations are lacking. The present clinical investigation characterized the pathogens diagnosed in patients who underwent revision surgery for PJI of total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
Methods: The present study follows the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE).
Midterm results after arthroscopic femoral neck osteoplasty combined with labral debridement for cam type femoroacetabular impingement in active adults.
J Orthop Surg Res
January 2023
Department of Orthopaedic, Trauma, and Reconstructive Surgery, RWTH University Hospital, Pauwelsstraße 30, 52074, Aachen, Germany.
Introduction: Arthroscopic labral procedures are frequently undertaken in patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The role of arthroscopic femoral neck osteoplasty is well established, but less is known about labral procedures. This study evaluates the midterm efficacy and feasibility of arthroscopic osteoplasty with concomitant labral debridement for cam impingement in active adults.
