Accurate diagnosis and grading of these conditions are essential to institute appropriate management strategies in order to achieve optimal outcomes. The aim of management strategies for acute active spondylolysis stress reactions and stress fractures is to achieve bone healing while avoiding recurrence and non-union, with the ultimate goal of returning to sports as determined by symptom resolution.

A Systematic Review of Interventions for the Transition to Adult Healthcare for Young People with Diabetes.

Purpose Of Review: The transition to adult healthcare is difficult for young adults with diabetes, with declining glycemic control and reduced healthcare utilization. Efforts are needed to facilitate an effective transfer of care. Our study aimed to systematically review the literature and identify studies evaluating the effectiveness of interventions designed to improve transition readiness and/or the transfer to adult care, describe their characteristics and outcomes, and identify areas for future research.

The status of care for youth with type 1 diabetes within and coming from humanitarian crises settings: a narrative review.

Background: Humanitarian crises bring unique, and potentially growing challenges to people with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We aimed to determine, in youth with T1D (mean age (± 1SD) 0-17.9 years) within and coming from humanitarian crises settings (HCS), the reported prevalence that meet international consensus targets for glycaemic, blood pressure and lipid management, and incidence of severe hypoglycaemia or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Young Adults with Type 1 Diabetes' Clinical Outcomes and Satisfaction Related to the Use of Videoconferencing for Type 1 Diabetes Healthcare: A Narrative Review.

Introduction: Young adulthood is well documented as being a particularly challenging area of type 1 diabetes (T1D) healthcare. Many young adults with T1D (YAT1D) are distracted from effective disease self-management; T1D healthcare service engagement can be problematic and inconsistent, and high rates of unplanned healthcare contacts prevail. Video conferencing use can facilitate services to be flexible and responsive.

Optimal Magnetic Resonance Sequence for Assessment of Central Cartilage Tumor Scalloping.

 Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is key in evaluating central cartilage tumors. The BACTIP (Birmingham Atypical Cartilaginous Tumour Imaging Protocol) protocol assesses central cartilage tumor risk based on the tumor size and degree of endosteal scalloping on MRI. It provides a management protocol for assessment, follow-up, or referral of central cartilage tumors.

Type 1 diabetes in schools: An integrative review of the literature.

Problem: Children with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) spend a large amount of time at school. Subsequently, school staff often need education around T1D management to optimise related outcomes. Education is particularly essential in primary school settings, due to lack of independence.
