Timing of Alveolar Bone Graft and Barriers to Care
CONCLUSION: Patients with public insurance are approximately 3.75 times more likely to receive ABG during permanent dentition. Multidisciplinary teams should work closely with patients on public insurance to ensure timely delivery of ABG.Level of Evidence III, Retrospective.PMID:38576319 | DOI:10.1177/10556656241242695 (Source: The Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal)

Establishing Normal Variances and Expectations for Quadriceps Limb Symmetry Index Benchmarks Based on Time from Surgery After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
CONCLUSION: Patients undergoing BTB autograft obtain 80% quadriceps symmetry at an average of 5.7 months for males and 7.1 months for females. Individuals under the age of 25 obtain their quadriceps symmetry faster and are cleared to return to running faster than individuals over 25. Male sex is associated with decreased amount of time to obtain clearance for running and for full activity. Male sex is associated with decreased amount of time to regain quadriceps symmetry however this was not significant.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4 (Case series).PMID:38576827 | PMC:PMC10987312 | DOI:10.26603/001c.94602 (Source: Physical Therapy)

Tolerance in intestinal transplantation
Hum Immunol. 2024 Apr 5:110793. doi: 10.1016/j.humimm.2024.110793. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIntestinal transplantation (ITx) is highly immunogenic, resulting in the need for high levels of immunosuppression, with frequent complications along with high rejection rates. Tolerance induction would provide a solution to these limitations. Detailed studies of alloreactive T cell clones as well as multiparameter flow cytometry in the graft and peripheral tissues have provided evidence for several tolerance mechanisms that occur spontaneously following ITx, which might provide targets for further interventions. These include ...

Harnessing potential of avian eggshell membrane derived collagen hydrolysate for bone tissue regeneration
CONCLUSIONS: The maximum ratio of Col-h/PVA that produced well defined hydrogels was 50:50. Though all the hydrogel matrices alluded towards their competitive attributes and applicability towards restorative bone repair, the hydrogel with 40:60 ratios showed better mechanical strength and cell proliferation than its counterparts. The prominent E. coli growth inhibition by the hydrogel matrices was also observed, along with excellent biocompatibility with MG-63 osteoblasts. The findings indicate strongly the promising application of avian eggshell-derived Col-h in supporting bone regeneration.PMID:38578512 | DOI:10.1007/s11...

Can jaw bone healed from chronic sclerosing osteomyelitis be considered healthy when planning dental implants? Case report with 20-year follow-up
CONCLUSION: This case report presents the treatment history of this patient. With a longitudinal observation period of greater than 20 years, the results of this case demonstrate the successful treatment of bone with CO, CSO, and Corynebacterium spp. infection. Following the removal of infected bone, radical debridement, and long-term antibiotic therapy, bone health was restored.PMID:38576989 | PMC:PMC10990345 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001826 (Source: Annals of Medicine)

Management strategies for common viral infections in pediatric renal transplant recipients
World J Transplant. 2024 Mar 18;14(1):89978. doi: 10.5500/wjt.v14.i1.89978.ABSTRACTViral infections have been considered as a major cause of morbidity and mortality after kidney transplantation in pediatric cohort. Children are at high risk of acquiring virus-related complications due to immunological immaturity and the enhanced alloreactivity risk that led to maintenance of high immunosuppressive regimes. Hence, prevention, early detection, and prompt treatment of such infe ctions are of paramount importance. Among all viral infections, herpes viruses (herpes simplex virus, varicella zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, cyto...
