J Orthop Trauma
February 2018
The CORE Institute, Center for Orthopedic Research and Education, Banner Musculoskeletal Institute Center Chiefs for Orthopedic Trauma and Bone Health, University of Arizona, College of Medicine, Phoenix.
Objectives: To compare mechanism of injury, fracture pattern, displacement, clinical, and radiographic outcome of isolated acetabular fractures (group 1) versus acetabular fractures associated with a pelvic ring injury (group 2).
Design: Retrospective cohort comparative analysis.
Setting: Private orthopaedic practice associated with a level one teaching trauma center.

Objectives: The impact of the Trauma Collaborative Care (TCC) program on surgeon confidence in managing the psychosocial sequelae of orthopaedic trauma was evaluated as part of a larger prospective, multisite, cluster clinical trial. We compared confidence and perceived resource availability among surgeons practicing in trauma centers that implemented the TCC program with orthopaedic trauma surgeons in similar trauma centers that did not implement the TCC.
Design: Prospective cohort design.

Article Synopsis
- The Trauma Collaborative Care (TCC) program aims to enhance trauma patient care by integrating early emotional distress screening and psychological support.
- The article outlines a multicenter study comparing outcomes of patients treated at six TCC intervention sites versus six control sites that follow standard care practices.
- It is hypothesized that patients receiving the TCC program will exhibit improved recovery, showing lower rates of poor function, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder compared to those receiving standard treatment alone.

Patients surgically treated for infection after extremity fractures are typically discharged with a 6- to 12-week antibiotic regimen. Intravenous (IV) antibiotics are associated with significant cost and potential complications of deep vein thrombosis, line clotting, and sepsis. Many of the pathogens that cause musculoskeletal infection have both oral (PO) and IV antibiotic options with adequate bioavailability and antibacterial effect, yet IV antibiotics remain the standard of care absent evidence that PO options are clinically as efficacious.

Department of Pathology, University of Arizona Medical College, Tucson, AZ 85724, USA.
Insulin-like growth factor II mRNA-binding protein 3 (IMP3) is an oncofetal protein highly expressed in fetal tissue and malignant tumors but rarely found in adult benign tissues. The aim of this study is to determine the expression of IMP3 in benign endometrium, endometrial cancer, and its precursor lesions, trying to see whether IMP3 has any diagnostic usage. Two hundred ninety-eight endometrial samples were examined for IMP3 expression by immunohistochemistry.

Guidelines for CAP management vary widely in their approach. Resistance of S pneumoniae to penicillins and other antibiotics has prompted evaluation of the new fluoroquinolones.

Endocrinology

Department of Medicine, University of Arizona Medical College, Tucson 85724-5099, USA.
Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) in rats induces elevated IL-6 levels in peripheral blood, exceeding those induced by iv or ip injection. Two hypotheses postulated to explain this phenomenon were tested. Mediation by peripheral sympathetic activation was excluded by showing that agents that blocked preganglionic cholinergic synapses (chlorisondamine), beta-adrenergic receptors (propanalol, butoxamine), and alpha-adrenergic receptors (phentolamine) did not prevent the IL-6 response.
