Outcomes of operatively managed periprosthetic distal femur fractures compared to fractures in patients with native knees
IntroductionWith the increasing incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA), there is an expected rise in rate of periprosthetic fractures in the coming years. It is unclear how the outcomes of patients with distal femur fractures (DFF) and a total knee arthroplasty compare to patients of the same age group with native knees (NK).Materials and methodsA retrospective review was completed for distal femur fractures treated with surgical fixation from January 2019–March 2021. We excluded patients <50 years old, non-ambulatory patients, revision surgeries, and patients with less than 90 days of follow-up. A chart review was performed to collect age, gender, BMI, smoking status, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) classification, fracture types, fixation method, time to full weight bearing, and complications. Comparisons between the TKA vs Native knee groups were performed using t-test, chi-square, and Fisher's exact …

Brain stimulation with 40 Hz heterochromatic flicker extended beyond red, green, and blue
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is associated with electrophysiological changes in the brain. Pre-clinical and early clinical trials have shown promising results for the possible therapy of AD with 40 Hz neurostimulation. The most notable findings used stroboscopic flicker, but this technique poses an inherent barrier for human applications due to its visible flickering and resulting high level of perceived discomfort. Therefore, alternative options should be investigated for entraining 40 Hz brain activity with light sources that appear less flickering. Previously, chromatic flicker based on red, green, and blue (RGB) have been studied in the context of brain-computer interfaces, but this is an incomplete representation of the colours in the visual spectrum. This study introduces a new kind of heterochromatic flicker based on spectral combinations of blue, cyan, green, lime, amber, and red (BCGLAR). These combinations are …

Post-traumatic Acetabulum Open Reduction Internal Fixation in a Patient with a BMI of 77: A Case Report
Conclusion:ORIF of an acetabular fracture in a patient with class III obesity presents many challenges. Positioning, surgical approach, fracture manipulation, and postoperative morbidity and mortality can be managed through interdisciplinary collaboration and preoperative communication.

Single-Dose First-Generation Cephalosporin for Extremity Gunshot Wounds Offers Sufficient Infection Prophylaxis
Antibiotic prophylaxis for extremity gunshot wounds (GSWs) is highly variable. The objective of the present study is to quantify the adherence rate to a protocol for single-dose cephalosporin prophylaxis for extremity GSWs and the impacts on post-injury infection rates. We reviewed patients presenting to a level 1 trauma center with an extremity gunshot wound between 2019 and 2021. Infection rates were compared for patients following the protocol or not, and for patients presenting before or after the protocol’s implementation. Overall, 94% of patients received antibiotic treatment at presentation, but only 34% followed the single-dose antibiotic protocol. The rate of protocol adherence increased from 15% to 39% after the protocol was implemented in the hospital in January 2020 (p = 0.081). Infection rates were not different before and after the protocol implementation (25% vs. 18%, p = 0.45). Infection rates were also not different between patients who did and did not follow the protocol (15% vs. 20%, p = 0.52). The implementation of a single-dose cephalosporin protocol increased adherence to the protocol in a level 1 trauma center without increasing infection rates. These findings support conservative treatment along with a single dose of first-generation cephalosporin antibiotic for uncomplicated extremity GSWs in order to decrease healthcare costs without compromising infection risk.

Does Transparency of Ankle Implant Costs Influence Surgeon Behavior?
Background Ankle fractures are a common injury treated by orthopaedic surgeons. Unstable, displaced ankle fractures are often fixed with open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) using different implant constructs at various cost. No study to date has looked at transparency in ankle implant costs to surgeon behavior. Our surgeons self-identified that the biggest barrier for lowering implant cost was the lack of cost transparency. This was a surgeon-led-study to evaluate whether increased transparency in implant costs affected surgeon behavior. Methods Monthly operative logs from December 2021 to September 2022 were reviewed at our level 1 trauma center for operative fixation of ankle fractures. The cost data of each fixation construct was reported to trauma-trained surgeons at the end of each month from March 2022 to June 2022. Average costs of implants were compared before and after education. A linear …

Effects of audit committee chair characteristics on auditor choice, audit fee and audit quality
We investigate whether the characteristics of audit committee (AC) chairs are associated with decisions about auditor choice, audit fees and audit quality. Using hand‐collected Australian data, firms with AC chairs who have longer tenure and multiple AC memberships across several boards are found to be more likely to choose Big 4 and/or industry specialist auditors, pay higher audit fees and have lower discretionary accruals. Those AC chairs with higher business qualifications are more likely to hire a Big 4 auditor, pay higher audit fees and have lower discretionary accruals, while AC chairs with professional qualifications are more likely to hire a Big 4 and/or industry specialist auditor. In contrast, firms with AC chairs who are executive directors are less likely to hire a Big 4 auditor and have higher discretionary accruals. Our findings contribute to the literature by documenting that various characteristics of AC …

Synthesis of 9-Cinnamyl-9H-purine Derivatives as Novel TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB Pathway Inhibitors for Anti-inflammatory Effects
The novel 9-cinnamyl-9H-purine skeleton, inspired by resveratrol and curcumin, was developed to avoid a pan-assay interference compound (PAINS) related to invalid metabolic pancreas activity (IMPS). It replaced the phenol group with purine analogues, the building blocks of DNA and RNA. Alterations to the hydroxyl group in the cinnamyl group, such as H, Me, or F substitutions, were made to impede its oxidation to a PAINS-associated quinone. Among the compounds tested, 5e significantly inhibited nitric oxide production in LPS-induced macrophages (IC50: 6.4 vs 26.4 μM for resveratrol). 5e also reduced pro-inflammatory cytokine levels (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β) and lowered iNOS and COX-2 protein levels. Mechanistically, 5e disrupted the TLR4–MyD88 protein interaction, leading to the suppression of the NF-κB signaling pathway suppression. In an atopic dermatitis mouse model, 5e reduced ear edema and …

A Case Series of Young Patients with Low-Energy Femoral Neck Fractures
BackgroundFragility femoral neck fractures are traditionally seen in elderly patients after a low-energy fall. In contrast, displaced femoral neck fractures in young patients are usually associated with high-energy mechanisms such as a fall from height or high-speed motor vehicle collisions. However, patients under the age of 45 with fragility femoral neck fractures represent a unique population, and one that is not well-described. This study aims to describe this population and their current workup.MethodsA single institution retrospective chart review of patients who underwent open reduction internal fixation or percutaneous pinning of femoral neck fractures from 2010-2020 was conducted. Inclusion criteria were patients 16-45 years old and femoral neck fractures with a low-energy mechanism of injury (MOI). Exclusion criteria were high-energy fractures, pathologic fractures, and stress fractures. Patient demographics …
