Article Abstract

Osteochondral lesions of the talus (OLT) involve the subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage. Various surgical treatments for these lesions are available, such as bone marrow stimulation (BMS), autologous osteochondral grafting, and fixation of an osteochondral fragment. Treatment choice depends on the condition of the lesion, which includes lesion size, morphology, location, and the presence of cysts. Among the surgical procedures available to date, fixation of the osteochondral fragment has the advantage of restoring the articular surface while preserving the native hyaline cartilage and its subchondral bone. Fixation for OLT has been shown to be clinically successful for the treatment of both acute and chronic lesions. Moreover, the indication for osteochondral fragment fixation is expanding as recent studies have found good clinical outcomes in relatively small-sized lesions. The present article describes the current evidence on fixation for acute and chronic OLT.

Background: Post-viral syndromes, including long- and post-COVID, often lead to persistent symptoms such as fatigue and dyspnoea, affecting patients' daily lives and ability to work. The COVI-Care M-V trial examines whether interprofessional, patient-centred teleconsultations, initiated by general practitioners in cooperation with specialists, can help reduce symptom burden and improve care for patients.

Methods: To evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention under routine care conditions, a cluster-randomised controlled trial is being conducted.

Metatranscriptomics-based metabolic modeling of patient-specific urinary microbiome during infection.

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections and are increasingly complicated by multidrug resistance (MDR). While Escherichia coli is frequently implicated, the contribution of broader microbial communities remains less understood. Here, we integrate metatranscriptomic sequencing with genome-scale metabolic modeling to characterize active metabolic functions of patient-specific urinary microbiomes during acute UTI.

Introduction: The vulnerability of white matter (WM) in acute and chronic moderate-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been established. In concussion syndromes, including preclinical rodent models, lacking are comprehensive longitudinal studies spanning the mouse lifespan. We previously reported early WM modifications using clinically relevant neuroimaging and histological measures in a model of juvenile concussion at one month post injury (mpi) who then exhibited cognitive deficits at 12mpi.

Background: Mycobacterium simiae is a slow-growing environmental nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM), commonly isolated from soil and water. M. simiae is not known to transmit zoonotically or via human-to-human contact; infection is presumed to occur through direct environmental exposure.
