Simplifying CT / MRI LI ‐ RADS v2018 Maintains Diagnostic Performance: An Individual Participant Data Meta‐Analysis

BACKGROUND: The Liver Imaging Reporting and Data System (LI-RADS) diagnostic algorithm assesses hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) probability of liver observations in high-risk individuals, but complexity may limit its adoption. PURPOSE: To evaluate whether LI-RADS v2018 can be simp...

A diagnostic model integrating clinical, magnetic resonance imaging, and arthroscopic findings accurately identified hypermobile lateral meniscus: Development and internal validation

BACKGROUND: To develop and internally validate a diagnostic model for hypermobile lateral meniscus integrating clinical symptoms, magnetic resonance imaging findings, and dynamic arthroscopic assessment. METHODS: A retrospective diagnostic model study was performed including 100...

Lateral extra-articular augmentation is associated with improved graft survival after revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction

BACKGROUND: Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains associated with higher graft-failure rates and greater residual rotational laxity than primary reconstruction. Although lateral extra-articular augmentation has been increasingly incorporated into revis...

Anchor‐Free Capsular Augmentation Using the Reflected Head of the Rectus Femoris in Hip Arthroscopy

Abstract Capsular integrity is a key factor in hip stability after arthroscopic procedures. Inadequate capsular closure may contribute to postoperative microinstability, persistent pain, and suboptimal outcomes, particularly in patients undergoing extensive capsulotomy or procedu...

Timing and trajectory of acute kidney injury predict mortality in alcohol-associated hepatitis: A multinational cohort study.

BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common in alcohol-associated hepatitis (AH) and associated with poor outcomes, yet the prognostic implications of AKI timing and early renal trajectory remain unclear. METHODS: In this prospective multicenter cohort from the Global AlcHep...

Effectiveness of early initiation of idursulfase in infants and very young children with mucopolysaccharidosis II: a retrospective chart review in siblings

Introduction Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with intravenous idursulfase is the standard of care for patients with mucopolysaccharidosis II (MPS II; Hunter syndrome). Data are limited for children aged ≤12 months. This retrospective study evaluated outcomes with early ERT. Meth...

The Global Airways Unit: A Multidisciplinary Strategy for Early Diagnosis and Comorbidity Detection

ABSTRACT Background Chronic respiratory diseases impose a large global burden of morbidity, mortality, and cost. The concept of a global airway has become increasingly supported by epidemiologic, mechanistic, and clinical evidence. However, clinical care often remains fragmented...
