    Abstract Background: The landscape of biologic agents for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) associated colitis is rapidly evolving, requiring surgeons to be up-to-date as part of multi-disciplinary, evidence-based care. An update on novel therapies used to induce remission in IBD-associated colitis is presented.
    Methods: A systematic search through Ovid MEDLINE and CENTRAL using a combination of MeSH terms and Boolean operators was conducted.
    Results: One thousand and twenty articles from which 38 articles were selected for inclusion in this review. Novel agents were trialled as 4th or 5th line treatment following conventional treatment failure. Rates of serious adverse effects were low. Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors (upadacitinib and tofacitinib) were efficacious in inducing remission in ulcerative colitis, and IL-23p19 inhibitors (mirikizumab, guselkumab, and risankizumab) in Crohn's colitis. Evidence was limited for other drug classes.
    Conclusion: JAK-inhibitors and IL-23p19 inhibitors were found to be the most effective agents for inducting remission following failure of standard of care treatment. A significant proportion of patients did not respond, highlighting the inherent challenge in optimizing treatment for moderate to severe IBD-associated colitis. More robust study designs and comparator trials are required.

    Abstract Liver masses account for 5 to 6% of pediatric cancer, which includes hepatoblastoma (HBL) along with rare cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The most dangerous form of pediatric liver cancer is aggressive HBL, which can be characterized by chemo-resistance and multiple nodules or metastases at diagnosis, all correlating with worse clinical prognosis. Despite intensive studies and a significant improvement in overall outcomes, very little is known about the key molecular pathways which determine the aggressiveness of pediatric liver cancer. Although genetic mutations have been reported in aggressive HBL, they represent a low level (1.9% per case) and are found mainly in two genes CTNNB1 and NRF2. Over the past 5 years, our liver biology and tumor group at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has investigated molecular signatures of aggressive HBL by examination of fresh tissue specimens, which were studied immediately after surgery to preserve the integrity of key biochemical pathways. Summarization of these high quality HBL samples discovered several critical pathways that are specific for aggressive pediatric liver cancer. These pathways include three characteristics: Conversion of tumor suppressor proteins (TSPs) by posttranslational modifications into oncogenesActivation of specific chromosomal regions, i.e., Aggressive Liver Cancer Domains (ALCDs) within many oncogenes, resulting in increased expression of oncogenesPotential epigenetic mechanisms that open chromatin structure of oncogenes via ALCDs. This commentary summarizes our key findings and discusses development of potential ALCD-based therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Objective: Amorphous urate crystals can obscure significant findings during a routine urinalysis. There is no standardized protocol to minimize their effect.
    Materials and methods: We tested 210 urine specimens. Three specimens had high red blood cell (RBC) or white blood cell (WBC) counts. Fifty-six specimens formed amorphous urates. Sediment from these specimens was treated with 50 mM sodium hydroxide (NaOH) at a 1:2 and/or 1:4 dilution. We warmed 22 specimens with crystals at various temperatures.
    Results: Amorphous urate crystals formed in concentrated urine with an acidic pH. Adding 50 mM NaOH dissolved amorphous urates, revealing the presence of underlying bacteria and yeast, but WBC and RBC counts were grossly decreased. Prewarming unspun specimens to 60°C for 90 seconds dissolved most amorphous urates.
    Conclusion: The protocol to eliminate amorphous urate crystals is to prewarm the specimen before testing. Adding 50 mM NaOH to sediment dissolves amorphous urates to enhance the visibility of bacteria and yeast but has a deleterious effect on WBC and RBC.

    Abstract Background: Hip offset, version, and length are interdependent femoral variables which determine stability and leg length. Balancing these competing variables remains a core challenge in hip arthroplasty. The potential benefits of modular femoral stems have been overshadowed by higher rates of failure. The objective of this study was to assess the survivorship of a unique dual-modular femoral stem at an average 15-year follow-up period.
    Methods: The records of all patients with osteoarthritis who underwent primary total hip arthroplasty with this device between 2004-2009 were reviewed. There were no exclusions for BMI or other factors. We examined the data with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. The primary endpoint for survival was mechanical failure of the modular neck-body junction.
    Results: The survivorship of this device in 172 subjects was 100% with none experiencing mechanical failure of the modular junction at an average of 15 years. 60 patients died of causes unrelated to their THA and 9 patients were lost to follow-up. There were three early (≤ 12 months) dislocations (1.7%), and seven total dislocations (4.1%). 16 patients underwent reoperations during the follow-up period, none for any complication of the modular junction. Radiographic results showed well-fixed femoral stems in all cases. There were no leg length discrepancies of greater than 10 mm, and 85% were within 5 mm.
    Conclusion: There were no mechanical failures of the modular junction in any of the subjects over the average 15-year period, demonstrating that this dual-modular design is not associated with increased failure rates. We achieved a 1.7% early dislocation rate and a 4.1% total dislocation rate without any clinically significant leg length discrepancies.
