Gastrointestinal and hepatic manifestations of COVID‐19: A systematic review and meta‐analysis Open
Background and Aim: This review investigates the role of gastrointestinal and hepatic manifestations in COVID-19, particularly with regard to the prevalence of isolated gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, a…

Anterior variable angle locking neutralisation plate superiority over traditional tension band wiring for treating transverse patella fractures Open
Purpose This paper investigates the biomechanical benefits of using hybrid constructs that combine cannulated screws with tension band wiring (TBW) cerclage compared to cannulated screws with anterior Variable Angle locking neutralisation …

Precision soft tissue balancing: grid-assisted pie-crusting in total knee arthroplasty Open
Introduction The varus and valgus knee deformities result from imbalance in tension between medial and lateral soft tissue compartments. These conditions need to be addressed during total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is no conse…

A Type IV Extension Supracondylar Fracture With Comminuted Fracture Pattern: A Case Report Open
Case: A three year, 11 month old girl sustained a right displaced extension supracondylar fracture (ESF) of the humerus with comminution of the lateral column after an indoor fall. At surgery, fracture reduction showed multidirectional ins…

Microenvironmental control of hematopoietic stem cell fate via CXCL8 and protein kinase C Open
Altered hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) fate underlies primary blood disorders but microenvironmental factors controlling this are poorly understood. Genetically barcoded genome editing of synthetic target arrays for lineage tracing (GESTALT…

The Effect of Metacarpal Shortening on Finger Strength and Joint Motion: A Cadaveric Biomechanical Study Open
When viewed in the context of the hand as a whole and the contribution of the index finger to grip being only 23.5%, it is unlikely that any shortening will significantly affect the average patient regarding grip strength. However, for a p…

Transcription factor induction of vascular blood stem cell niches <i>in vivo</i> Open
The hematopoietic niche is a supportive microenvironment comprised of distinct cell types, including specialized vascular endothelial cells that directly interact with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). The molecular factors …

CXCR1 remodels the vascular niche to promote hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell engraftment Open
The microenvironment is an important regulator of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell (HSPC) biology. Recent advances marking fluorescent HSPCs have allowed exquisite visualization of HSPCs in the caudal hematopoietic tissue (CHT) of th…
