Neonatal Compartment Syndrome Secondary to a Failed Peripheral Inserted Central Catheter Insertion: A Case Report.

Introduction: Neonatal compartment syndrome is a rare phenomenon with a limited number of cases reported in the literature with varying etiologies. Current literature categorizes etiologies as either intrinsic or extrinsic. To the best of our knowledge, difficult delivery and delivery through vacuum are the only two iatrogenic etiologies that have been reported in the literature.

The Top 100 Most-Cited Publications in Clinical Craniofacial Research.

This paper is a bibliometric analysis of the most influential works related to the clinical management of craniosynostosis to help guide clinicians in their decision-making.

Operative Treatment of a Patient with a Pathological Fracture through a Large Non-ossifying Fibroma: A Case Report.

Introduction: Non-ossifying fibroma (NOF) is a common benign fibrogenic bone lesion commonly found in the metaphysis of long bones. While small NOFs are typically asymptomatic and left untreated, large NOFs are often associated with pathologic fractures that can be treated conservatively or operatively. To our knowledge, the NOF presented in this case report is one of the largest reported in the literature.

Postoperative Spinal Orthoses: Types and Outcomes.

Introduction: Postoperative bracing (POB) after spinal surgery is a common practice that has been used for many decades. In the past few years, the indications, types, and outcomes of POB have been heavily questioned after many studies revealed no consistent evidence to support or refute the use of spinal orthoses after surgery.

Summary: Currently, there are no indications of the type, duration, or indication for many spinal orthoses and few studies have assessed their efficacy.

Epidemiology and survival factors for sarcoma patients in minority populations: a SEER-retrospective study.

Background: Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated race as a predictor of worse oncological outcomes. To better understand the effect of race on oncological outcomes, we utilized the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to determine what treatment courses are provided to minority patients and how this impacts survival.

Materials And Methods: A retrospective review of bone and soft tissue sarcoma cases was performed using the SEER database for a minimum 5-year survival rate (SR) using Kaplan-Meier curves.

Influential literature regarding proximal junctional kyphosis: A bibliometric review.

Study Design: Retrospective review.

Objective: This bibliometric review summarizes the publication trends and critical information about the most cited Proximal Junction Kyphosis (PJK) articles.

Background: Data: Proximal junctional kyphosis is frequently diagnosed after spinal fusion surgery.

NAD precursor nutritional supplements sensitize the brain to future ischemic events.

Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) is a redox cofactor critical for oxidative phosphorylation. Nicotinamide (NAM) and nicotinamide riboside (NR) are NAD precursors widely used as nutritional supplements to augment oxidative phosphorylation. Indeed, NAD precursors have been reported to improve outcomes in ischemic stroke when administered as a rescue therapy after stroke onset.

Vascular Injury After Knee Dislocation: A Meta-Analysis Update.

Introduction: Multisystem injuries affecting vasculature and nerves can be detrimental sequelae of knee dislocations (KDs). The purpose of this study was to provide an update of the current literature since the conducted search used in the publication of Medina et al on May 3, 2013, to evaluate (1) the frequency of vascular and neurologic injury after KD, (2) the frequency with which surgical intervention was conducted for vascular injury in this setting, and (3) the frequency with which each imaging modality was used to detect vascular injury.

Methods: A two-author screening process was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines using the MEDLINE database.

Analysis of genome-wide knockout mouse database identifies candidate ciliopathy genes.

We searched a database of single-gene knockout (KO) mice produced by the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) to identify candidate ciliopathy genes. We first screened for phenotypes in mouse lines with both ocular and renal or reproductive trait abnormalities. The STRING protein interaction tool was used to identify interactions between known cilia gene products and those encoded by the genes in individual knockout mouse strains in order to generate a list of "candidate ciliopathy genes.

EPMO: A novel medical student assessment tool that integrates entrustable professional activities, prime, and the modified Ottawa coactivity scale.

Purpose: Alignment of workplace-based assessments (WPBA) with core entrustable professional activities (EPAs) for entering residency may provide opportunities to monitor student progress across the continuum of undergraduate medical education. Core EPAs, however, reflect tasks of varying degrees of difficulty and faculty assessors are not accustomed to rating students based on entrustability. Expectations of student progress should vary depending on the complexity of the tasks associated with the EPAs.

The Most Influential Publications in Outpatient Total Joint Arthroplasty.

Background: Total joint replacements are some of the most common procedures performed by surgeons. There has been a recent increase to transition these procedures to the outpatient setting.

Scrambling For Safety In The Eye Of Dorian: Mental Health Consequences Of Exposure To A Climate-Driven Hurricane.

As climate change alters the behavior of Atlantic hurricanes, these storms are trending stronger, wetter, and slower moving over coastal and island populations. Hurricane Dorian exemplified all three attributes. Dorian's destructive passage over the Abaco Islands, Bahamas, on September 1, 2019, exposed residents of its capital, Marsh Harbour, to a prolonged encounter with the storm's core.

Tantalum: the next biomaterial in spine surgery?

Tantalum is a porous metal, whose elastic modulus, high frictional properties and biocompatibility make it an ideal construct to facilitate adequate bony fusion in spine surgery.
