    Abstract Thoracic aortic graft infections are infrequent yet grave complications of cardiovascular surgery. Risk factors include prolonged operative time, postoperative wound infections, and patient-specific risk factors like diabetes or malnutrition (Van Hemelrijck et al., Vessel Plus 6:47, 2022). In postoperative vascular scenarios, it is critical to utilize cross-sectional imaging to detect the presence of a complication, followed by describing the morphology, extent, and ancillary features. FDG-PET/CT can help differentiate between expected postoperative changes and worrisome infection by metabolic activity (FDG uptake). We present an extensive case of ascending aortic graft infection in the setting of ongoing sternal osteomyelitis. CT and PET/CT reveal chronic sternal osteomyelitic changes spreading into the retrosternal soft tissues, and a large intraluminal thrombus in the ascending aortic graft. Small mobile strands propagate toward the right brachiocephalic origin, posing a significant stroke risk. PET/CT confirmed postoperative infection by demonstrating increased FDG uptake.

    Abstract Chest CT in pediatric patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can be done safely and provide valuable high-quality diagnostic images to help guide patient management. An understanding of the basics of the ECMO circuit, cannula locations, where and how to inject contrast media, and how to time image acquisition is vital for the radiologist. Additionally, understanding the precautions associated with performing these exams is essential to ensure the safety of the child. This article provides a brief review of pediatric ECMO and its challenges and considerations, as well as a stepwise approach to perform and optimize these exams safely.

    Abstract Environmental biosecurity risks associated with the transnational wildlife trade include the loss of biodiversity, threats to public health, and the proliferation of invasive alien species. To assist enforcement agencies in identifying species either intentionally (trafficked) or unintentionally (stowaway) entrained in the trade-chain pathway, rapid forensic techniques are needed to enable their detection from DNA samples when physical identification is not possible. Loop Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) is an emerging technique, with recent applications in biosecurity and forensic sciences, which has potential to function as a field-based detection tool. Here we provide an overview of current research that applies LAMP to environmental biosecurity, including identification of ornamental wildlife parts, consumer products, and invasive species monitoring and biosecurity detection. We discuss the current scope of LAMP as applied to various wildlife trade scenarios and biosecurity checkpoint monitoring, highlight the specificity, sensitivity, and robustness for these applications, and review the potential utility of LAMP for rapid field-based detection at biosecurity checkpoints. Based on our assessment of the literature we recommend broader interest, research uptake, and investment in LAMP as an appropriate field-based species detection method for a wide range of environmental biosecurity scenarios.

    Abstract Purpose: To review outcomes of spinopelvic dissociation treated with open lumbopelvic fixation.
    Methods: We reviewed all cases of spinopelvic dissociation treated at three Level-I trauma centers with open lumbopelvic fixation, including those with adjunctive percutaneous fixation. We collected demographic data, associated injuries, pre- and postoperative neurologic status, pre- and postoperative kyphosis, and Roy-Camille classification. Outcomes included presence of union, reoperation rates, and complications involving hardware or wound.
    Results: From an initial cohort of 260 patients with spinopelvic dissociation, forty patients fulfilled inclusion criteria with a median follow-up of 351 days. Ten patients (25%) had a combination of percutaneous iliosacral and open lumbopelvic repair. Average pre- and postoperative kyphosis was 30 degrees and 26 degrees, respectively. Twenty patients (50%) had neurologic deficit preoperatively, and eight (20%) were unknown or unable to be assessed. All patients presenting with bowel or bladder dysfunction (n = 12) underwent laminectomy at time of surgery, with 3 patients (25%) having continued dysfunction at final follow-up. Surgical site infection occurred in four cases (10%) and wound complications in two (5%). All cases (100%) went on to union and five patients (13%) required hardware removal.
    Conclusion: Open lumbopelvic fixation resulted in a high union rate in the treatment of spinopelvic dissociation. Approximately 1 in 6 patients had a wound complication, the majority of which were surgical site infections. Bowel and bladder dysfunction at presentation were common with the majority of cases resolving by final follow-up when spinopelvic dissociation had been treated with decompression and stable fixation.
