    Abstract Background: During hip arthroscopy, managing concomitant cartilage damage and chondrolabral junction breakdown remains an ongoing challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, as previous studies have associated such lesions with inferior postoperative outcomes
    Description: After induction of anesthesia and appropriate patient positioning, a quadrilateral arrangement of arthroscopic portals is established to perform puncture capsulotomy
    Alternatives: Currently, strategies to address acetabular cartilage lesions may include microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation, autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis, osteochondral allografts, and orthobiologics
    Rationale: This versatile and updated technique is a safe and reproducible method for BMAC harvesting, processing, and application that avoids donor-site morbidity, obtains a substantial concentration of CTP cells, minimizes additional operative time, and limits the hip arthroscopy and aspiration to a single procedure
    Expected outcomes: Patients with moderate cartilage damage treated with BMAC at the time of labral repair experienced significantly greater improvements in functional outcomes at 12 and 24 months postoperatively compared with similar patients without BMAC augmentation
    Important tips: Utilize the previously established Dienst arthroscopic portal for the bone marrow aspiration in order to avoid secondary donor site morbidity.Under fluoroscopic guidance, approach the ilium along the coronal plane, aiming toward the anterior superior iliac spine.With a heparin-rinsed Jamshidi bone marrow biopsy needle, penetrate the lateral cortex of the ilium just proximal to the sourcil in order to consistently harvest a total combined bone marrow aspirate/ACD-A volume of approximately 120 mL.Simultaneously perform the bone marrow aspirate and whole venous blood centrifugation during the hip arthroscopy procedure in order to minimize additional operative time.Bone marrow aspiration should be performed without applied traction in order to minimize the risk of neurovascular complications associated with extended traction time.

    Abstract Background Prophylactic antifungals are often used in high-risk babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to reduce invasive fungal infections (IFIs). However, existing guidelines regarding prophylactic antifungal usage do not clearly define the high-risk population. This study aimed to assess the practices related to prophylactic antifungal use in NICUs in India. Methods For this cross-sectional study, an online structured questionnaire was completed by neonatologists who worked in level 3 NICUs in 12 states in India during the period June 2022 to August 2022. Results Data from 151 NICUs were analyzed. 71.7% of respondents were from private hospitals, and 28.3% were from government hospitals. Nearly one-fourth of the units (28.5%) used antifungal prophylaxis in all extremely low birth weight (ELBW) babies, while another one-fourth (25.8%) used a case-based approach. The remaining NICUs (45.7%) did not use prophylactic antifungals. Among the users, the preferred antifungal was fluconazole; 3 mg/kg and 6 mg/kg were the dosage regimens used. The commonly used interval for administering fluconazole was 72 hours (69.2% of units). The intravenous route was the preferred route of administration (84.1%). Factors that influenced the non-users were the low incidence of fungal infections in their NICUs and concern about the development of resistance. It was noted that the users felt strongly about the need for further recommendations from pediatric societies and more studies on the efficacy of antifungals. Conclusion There is considerable variation in the use of prophylactic antifungals across NICUs in India. Among the users, uniformity in the choice of antifungal and interval of administration was observed. Further recommendations from pediatric societies, including the definitions of neonates at-risk of fungal infections, are required to ensure consistency in practice and help clinicians decide whether or not to use prophylactic antifungals.

    Abstract Aim: To evaluate the cystic changes in the radiographically normal dental follicle associated with impacted mandibular third molar.
    Materials and methods: This study was conducted on 80 patients. Samples were selected using a convenient sampling technique from the patients who had impacted mandibular third molars in Pell and Gregory's positions B and C, with follicular space less than 2.5 mm in diameter. After surgical removal of an impacted tooth, the dental follicle was sent for histopathologic evaluation.
    Results: Pathologic alterations were found in 19% of cases out of 80 samples. Odontogenic keratocystic and dentigerous cystic changes were found in 7% of cases. A statistically significant cystic alteration was found in female patients and distoangular impacted teeth.
    Conclusion: This study shows a significant cystic alteration in the radiologically normal dental follicles. Clinical and radiographic features alone may not be a reliable indicator of the absence of pathology. Early intervention of impacted teeth will help to reduce morbidity due to the development of pathology.
    Clinical significance: This study will help educate patients on the risks of retaining impacted teeth, based on scientific facts, in order to minimize the risks and to assess the correlation of pathologic alterations with the depth of impaction and angular position of the impacted tooth.

    Abstract High dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy procedures for cervical cancer require multiple applicator insertions for multiple (typically 5) fractions of a single plan, which carries a risk for variability in applicator position between fractions. Due to applicator displacement relative to patient anatomy, the dose to nearby organs-at-risk (OARs) may vary significantly from one fraction to the next. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of changes in HDR tandem and ring (T&R) applicator position on doses to nearby OARs and to present a quick and simple method to estimate doses to OARs inter-fractionally without having to perform a re-plan. Ninety CT image sets for 20 patients, ages 44 to 86, undergoing T&R-based HDR for cervical cancer were used retrospectively for this study. Measures of applicator positional and angular changes relative to the bony anatomy were obtained using image fusion in MIM software, between the planning CT (plan CT) and the CT on the treatment day (CT-TX). Dosimetric data were determined, also using MIM software, using the original (first fraction) dose distribution applied to organs at risk (rectum and bladder), transferred via rigid registration from the plan CT to each CT-TX. Bladder and rectum contours were also transferred from each plan CT to each CT-TX and were tweaked manually to match anatomy on each CT-TX and examined visually for appropriateness. Differences in translation and rotation of the T&R applicator between the planning CT and subsequent individual fractions were recorded and plotted against dose differences between each fraction of treatment and the original (first) fraction.

    Abstract We describe a combined all-inside, inside-out, and outside-in technique for the repair of unstable bucket-handle medial meniscal tears. Notably, a greater incidence of neurovascular complications has been associated with meniscal repair techniques that employ an accessory skin incision, especially when damage involves the body of the medial meniscus. However, with the operative knee in relative extension, passing inside-out needles anteromedial to the posterior horn and posterior to the semitendinosus tendon and saphenous nerve allows for the needles to exit the posteromedial knee through a "safe zone." Therefore, we reduce iatrogenic damage by avoiding the necessity of a large safety incision while still maintaining suture placement versatility and meniscal fragment stabilization. Thus, the objective of this Technical Note is to outline an efficient technique for treating bucket-handle medial meniscal tears that yields a strong, durable repair while avoiding damage to adjacent neurovascular structures and eliminating the need for a posteromedial safety incision.

    Abstract Objectives: The primary objective was to estimate the prevalence of somatosensory tinnitus (ST) among Veterans with tinnitus.
    Design: Three hundred four Veterans with tinnitus were phone screened for ST by performing and reporting on a series of head/neck/jaw maneuvers. A random sample of 12 individuals who screened positive and five who screened negative attended an in-person visit to confirm the presence/absence of ST.
    Results: Of the 304 Veterans, 12 could not complete the screening maneuvers, 205 screened positive, and 87 screened negative. A Bayesian estimator that combines phone screening and in-person exam results establishes the prevalence of ST among Veterans with tinnitus at 56% with a 90% Bayesian confidence interval of 45% to 65%.
    Conclusions: At least half of Veterans with tinnitus have ST, suggesting that a sizable at-need population exists. Treatment addressing the biomechanical component has the potential to improve tinnitus symptoms.

    Abstract Case: Clavicle fractures are common skeletal injuries that account for 2%-10% of adult fractures. Surgical indications include presence of an open fracture, severe angulation, comminution, displacement, skin tenting with a threat of skin perforation, neurovascular compromise, symptomatic nonunion, or fracture shortening >1.5-2cm. In this case, the patient had a comminuted, displaced fracture - thus meeting criteria for operative treatment. However, the patient opted for nonoperative management.
    Conclusion: After 3 months, the patient regained full strength and range-of-motion. This case highlights the current heterogenous mixture of studies in the literature surrounding the best management for midshaft clavicle fractures.

    Abstract The present study examines the association of diet with depressive symptoms among stroke survivors from a community cohort of older adults. Depression is common after stroke. A healthy diet has previously been associated with fewer depressive symptoms in older individuals, but it is unknown if this effect is also seen in stroke survivors. Eighty-six participants from the Memory and Aging Project with a history of stroke at their study baseline enrolment, complete dietary data and two or more assessments for depression were included in this observational prospective cohort analysis. Depressive symptoms were assessed annually with a 10-item version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale. Diet was assessed using a validated food-frequency questionnaire administered at baseline. Diet scores were based on analysis of participants' reported intakes of 144 food items. A generalised estimating equation (GEE) model was applied to examine the association of diet score with depressive symptoms. The study participants had a mean age of 82 ± 7⋅17 years and 14⋅42 ± 2⋅61 years of education, and 82⋅56 % were female. Western diet score was positively associated with depressive symptoms over time (diet score tertile 3
