Septic Sacroiliitis in a 53-year-old Adult: A Case Report
A 53-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented with 10/10 right buttock pain that radiated to the right groin. With no reported recent injury, the absence of fever, and no identifiable risk factors, an infectious etiology including septic sacroiliitis is at the end spectrum of the differential. Septic sacroiliitis (SSI) is a rare condition with nonspecific findings that can lead to major complications, including death. To our knowledge, there are only four recent major literature reviews on SSI, with most cases reported to have at least one risk factor or clinical sign indicating the possibility of...

Cytotoxic Effects of Nonionic Iodinated Contrast Agent on Human Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising therapy for degenerative spine conditions. However, cell therapy for painful spine degeneration presently requires use of contrast agents during fluoroscopy-guided injections and the effects of these agents on MSCs represents a gap in knowledge.

Early Clinical Outcomes of Intra-Articular Injections of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate for the Treatment of Early Osteoarthritis of the Hip, and Knee: A Cohort Study
Bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMC) is one of the few cell-based therapies available as a possible biological treatment for early osteoarthritis (OA). Its efficacy, safety, and benefit compared with other treatments are still to be determined. (Source: PM and R)

Postneedling soreness and tenderness after different dosages of dry needling of an active myofascial trigger point in patients with neck pain: a randomised controlled trial
Previous studies in asymptomatic subjects have demonstrated that myofascial trigger point (MTrP) dry needling is frequently associated with postneedling soreness. However, to the author ’s knowledge, there is not any study that performs a detailed description of postneedling soreness characteristics in patients with myofascial pain. This information could help clinicians to make evidence-informed decisions considering the benefits and negative effects of different dry needling do sages. (Source: PM and R)

The Feasibility of Blood Flow Restriction Exercise in Patients With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury
Blood flow restriction (BFR) exercise, which already has shown promise in the able-bodied population, may be a novel method for improving muscle function in the incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) population. However, the feasibility and tolerance for BFR exercise in this population is unknown. (Source: PM and R)

Percent Differences: Another Look
This article discusses 3 common measures of comparison (absolute difference, ratio, and percent difference [PD]), explores the advantages and disadvantages of each, introduces a less-common measure called symmetrized percent change, and explains how it overcomes some of the disadvantages of the other measures.
