Article Synopsis
- - The study analyzed the OXYGEN trial, which compared high levels of oxygen (80% FiO2) vs. lower levels (30% FiO2) for preventing infections in patients with specific types of fractures and aimed to see if using an "as-treated" approach changed the results compared to the "intention-to-treat" method.
- - Conducted at 29 trauma centers, 1,231 patients with tibial plateau, tibial pilon, or calcaneus fractures were randomly assigned to either oxygen treatment; adherence was evaluated using two specific criteria based on the percentage of surgery time at different oxygen levels.
- - Results showed no significant differences in primary and deep infection rates, but the treatment group had fewer

Despite widespread research on non-traumatic femoral head osteonecrosis (FHON), there is no consensus about preventative treatment options. Insufficient blood supply and increased intra-osseous pressure are the initiating events in the majority of cases. BMPs are growth factors that belong to the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) superfamily.

Rothman Orthopaedic Institute at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The Second International Consensus Meeting (ICM) on Musculoskeletal Infection was held in July 2018 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This meeting involved contributions from an international multidisciplinary consortium of experts from orthopaedic surgery, infectious disease, pharmacology, rheumatology, microbiology, and others. Through strict delegate engagement in a comprehensive 13-step consensus process based on the Delphi technique, evidence-based consensus guidelines on musculoskeletal infection were developed.

Sara J. Singer is a professor of health care management and policy in the Department of Health Policy and Management, Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health, and an associate professor in the Department of Medicine/Mongan Institute Health Policy Center, Massachusetts General Hospital at Harvard Medical School, in Boston.
Structural integration is increasing among medical groups, but whether these changes yield care that is more integrated remains unclear. We explored the relationships between structural integration characteristics of 144 medical groups and perceptions of integrated care among their patients. Patients' perceptions were measured by a validated national survey of 3,067 Medicare beneficiaries with multiple chronic conditions across six domains that reflect knowledge and support of, and communication with, the patient.

The availability of labor analgesia is highly variable in the People's Republic of China. There are widespread misconceptions, by both parturients and health care providers, that labor epidural analgesia is harmful to mother and baby. Meanwhile, China has one of the highest cesarean delivery rates in the world, exceeding 50%.

Intestinal epithelial cells are capable of producing a variety of cytokines and other regulatory factors that can affect functional regulation of the epithelium itself, through autocrine and paracrine mechanisms, as well as functional integration with lamina propria populations. The bi-directional nature of this cytokine network is now apparent, with the demonstration that both rat and human intestinal epithelium-derived cell lines possess a much greater array of cytokine receptors than previously anticipated.
