Summary: This study discussed the role of fracture site tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks on post-injury adaptation (PIA) promoting bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and migration. The results confirmed that PIA accelerated BMSCs proliferation and migration, and identified tissue exosomes as the key factor in this process. By analyzing the tissue exosomes lncRNAs-mRNAs networks, several hub genes, such as Akt1, Actb, and Uba52, were identified, and Kif11 was found to be a key gene in BMSCs regulated by tissue-derived exosomes of PIA treated rats.

Summary: Vascular lesions can have varying impacts on children, ranging from minor skin abnormalities to large masses that affect both form and function. It is important to accurately diagnose these lesions in order to understand their natural history and develop an appropriate treatment plan, which may involve medical, surgical, intralesional, or laser therapy.

Summary: This study compares the outcomes and complications of Ilioinguinal versus modified Stoppa approach in Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) of anterior column acetabulum fractures. The results show that the modified Stoppa approach has a shorter operative time, less intra-operative blood loss, and fewer complications. The ilioinguinal approach achieves better anatomic reduction. However, there were no significant differences in terms of vascular lesions, clinical and functional outcomes between the two groups.

Summary: This study aims to investigate dental traumatic injuries related to standing electric scooters and compare them with injuries caused by other factors. The results indicate that crown-root fractures and avulsions are more common in electric scooter accidents. Additionally, relatively minor dental injuries, such as concussions and subluxations, are more likely to occur as combined injuries in electric scooter accidents. The study suggests the need for strengthened policies and enforcement of laws to prevent severe dental and craniofacial trauma associated with electric scooter use.

Summary: This study aims to assess the rate of operative fixation of sacral fractures in pelvises with dysmorphic and nondysmorphic sacrums, as well as whether a difference exists in fracture morphology between groups. The study found no statistical difference in operative fixation rates between pelvises with dysmorphic and nondysmorphic sacrums, but a difference in fracture patterns was observed.

Summary: This study evaluated the use of online mortality search engines in capturing patient deaths compared to institutional databases. The results showed that incorporating readily available search engines significantly increased the capture of patient deaths, particularly those occurring outside of the index operative admission.

Summary: This study investigates the association of race and sex with outcomes among interhospital transfer patients who underwent emergency general surgery. The results show that interhospital transfer patients have higher odds of readmission, major and minor complications, and reoperation. Furthermore, disparities related to race and sex are identified in different procedures, highlighting the need for specific interventions to address these disparities.

Summary: This study aimed to compare the therapeutic effects of activated platelet-rich plasma (PRP) prepared from elderly individuals and young adults in treating pressure ulcers (PUs). The results showed that PRP from young adults had higher platelet concentrations and greater production of growth factors, leading to better wound healing.

Summary: This study compared the clinical outcomes of compression screw and non-weight-bearing techniques in treating pediatric Jones fractures. The results showed that compared to non-weight-bearing techniques, compression screw fixation can shorten the radiographic union time, immobilization time, and facilitate earlier return to full weight bearing and daily life. We recommend the use of compression screw fixation for widely displaced fractures and school-age active adolescents.

Summary: This study describes a novel method of whole blood extraction using REBOA, which effectively supports hemodynamics and investigates its impact on the quality of banked blood. The results show that this method provides sufficient blood volume and quality for transfusion during the collection of 40% ETBV.

Summary: Calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture, an extra-articular injury, is a rare fracture caused internally by intense contraction of the gastrocnemius-soleus complex, and externally by low-energy (possibly high-energy). The risk of injuries to the skin and Achilles tendon around the calcaneal tuberosity is closely related to the Lee classification and Carnero-Martin de Soto Classification of this type of fracture. Diagnosis is typically confirmed through X-ray, digital imaging, and CT, but MRI should also be used to assess the soft tissue. Recent advances in understanding this fracture have led to the development of different internal fixation devices and surgical procedures that provide stable fracture reduction and resistance to Achilles tendon forces. This article reviews the new insights into the anatomy, classification, risk factors, and treatment modalities of calcaneal tuberosity avulsion fracture in recent years.

Summary: Falls are a leading cause of injury and hospital readmissions in older adults, with over 3 million seeking hospital care for fall injuries annually in the United States. The annual acute treatment costs for these injuries amount to $20 billion, indicating the urgent need for evidence-based fall prevention interventions and investments in geriatric emergency departments.

Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of fragility spinal fractures among liver transplant candidates with cirrhosis. The results showed the detrimental impact of chronic liver disease and hepatic osteodystrophy on bone strength, and the correlation between DXA measurement and lumbar fragility fractures. These findings highlight the importance of adequate bone evaluation in liver transplant candidates.

Summary: hCCA is a biologically aggressive disease and surgical resection is the only curative treatment. Factors such as patient's physical condition, tumor involvement, residual liver volume, and assessment of metastatic disease heavily influence the feasibility of surgical resection. A multidisciplinary, holistic, and individualized approach is critical for accurately determining resectability and optimizing clinical outcomes for patients with hCCA.
