Concomitant posterior anchoring further reduces posterior meniscal extrusion during pullout repair of medial meniscus posterior root tears: a retrospective study
ConclusionsBoth techniques improved MMPE at knee flexion at the three  month follow-up, with TCS-PA providing significantly superior results. Our findings support the evidence that the application of PA may be an effective surgical option for alleviating persistent MMPE. (Source: International Orthopaedics)

Safety Surveillance of Varicella Vaccines in the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, United States, 2006-2020
CONCLUSIONS: No new or unexpected safety findings were detected for VAR and MMRV given as recommended, reinforcing the favorable safety profiles of these vaccines. Providers should obtain specimens for viral testing and strain-typing for serious AEs if they consider vVZV as the possible causative agent.PMID:36265846 | DOI:10.1093/infdis/jiac306 (Source: Herpes)

Modeling the Impact of Exogenous Boosting and Universal Varicella Vaccination on the Clinical and Economic Burden of Varicella and Herpes Zoster in a Dynamic Population for England and Wales
Vaccines (Basel). 2022 Aug 28;10(9):1416. doi: 10.3390/vaccines10091416.ABSTRACTUniversal varicella vaccination (UVV) in England and Wales has been hindered by its potential impact on exogenous boosting and increase in herpes zoster (HZ) incidence. We projected the impact of ten UVV strategies in England and Wales on the incidence of varicella and HZ and evaluated their cost-effectiveness over 50 years. The Maternal-Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Recovered-Vaccinated transmission model was extended in a dynamically changing, age-structured population. Our model estimated that one- or two-dose UVV strategies significantly red...
