15-0.31). When lorlatinib was compared with platinum-based chemotherapy through an MAIC, the adjusted HR for PFS was 0.40 (95% CI 0.29-0.55). An exploratory comparison was performed for OS with evidence for systemic therapy (assumed equivalent to chemotherapy) not identified in the SLR. Lorlatinib provided a significant decrease in hazard of death (OS) versus systemic therapy, with HRs ranging from 0.12 (95% CI 0.05-0.27) to 0.43 (95% CI 0.27-0.60).

Lorlatinib demonstrated a significant improvement in PFS compared with chemotherapy, although limitations in the analyses were identified. The evidence informing OS comparisons was highly limited but suggested benefit of lorlatinib compared with systemic therapy.

The goal of this meta-analysis was to estimate the incidence of total hematomas, neuraxial hematomas, and non-neuraxial hematomas in patients who underwent temporary spinal cord stimulator (SCS) lead trial placement and permanent implantation of SCS leads and internal pulse generator (IPG).

A comprehensive search was conducted of databases of any publications before October 21, 2021. Eligible study designs included randomized control trials and prospective or retrospective observational studies with more than ten patients. The primary outcome variables were the incidences of total hematomas, neuraxial hematomas, and non-neuraxial hematomas in patients with SCS. These dichotomous categorical outcomes were abstracted from studies after Freeman-Tukey arcsine square root transformation using random-effects meta-analysis (DerSimonian and Laird method). Pooled incidence rates and 95% CIs were calculated for each outcome variable.

A total of 40 studies met the inclusion criteria. Included in the neuraxial and on hematoma complications from SCS and highlight that the benefits of SCS outweigh the hematoma risks if anticoagulation is appropriately managed perioperatively.
The overall incidence of hematomas in patients with temporary SCS trial lead placement and permanent SCS/IPG implantations is less than 1%. Furthermore, the incidence of neuraxial hematomas is less than 0.5%, which is of particular interest given the potential devastating consequences of this complication. The results of this study can be used to inform patients and implanting physicians on hematoma complications from SCS and highlight that the benefits of SCS outweigh the hematoma risks if anticoagulation is appropriately managed perioperatively.Microalga-microbiome interactions are central to both health and disease of aquatic environments. Despite impressive advances in deciphering how microorganisms participate in and impact aquatic ecosystems, the evolution and ecological involvement of microalgae and the microbiome in polluted waters are typically studied independently. Here, the phycosphere (i.e., the consortia of microalgae and the related microbiome) is regarded as an independent and integrated life form, and we summarize the survival strategies exhibited by this symbiont when exposed to anthropogenic pollution. We highlight the cellular strategies and discuss the modulation at the transcriptional and population levels, which reciprocally alters community structure or genome composition for medium-term acclimation or long-term adaptation. We propose a 'PollutantBiome' concept to help the understanding of microalga-microbiome interactions and development of beneficial microbial synthetic communities for pollutant remediation.
Invited Clinical Commentary BACKGROUND Arthritis is one of the most frequently reported causes of disability in the United States and the prevalence is expected to increase in the coming decades. While many rheumatic diseases involve hand impairments, most are systemic and involve more than the musculoskeletal system. Veliparib Functional and work disability are high and people would benefit from the services of occupational and physical therapists.

This paper reviews concepts of self-management, and symptoms that contribute to limitations and restrictions to participation in daily life in people with rheumatic diseases and suggests roles for hand therapists beyond the immediate hand impairments.

The impact of selected rheumatic diseases on functional and work disability are reviewed along with strategies for symptom management and self-management. Upper extremity impairments of selected rheumatic diseases are also discussed.

The role for hand therapists in evaluating and addressing the complex needs of persons with rheumatic diseases, including less common diseases, is discussed. Outcome measures for fatigue, muscle involvement, ergonomics and computer use, and work disability are introduced. Finally, strategies for self-management and prevention of work and functional disability, along with symptom management for fatigue and pain are presented.

Hand therapists can play a vital role in chronic rheumatic disease management to improve self-management and increase participation in meaningful activities. Patients, primary care and rheumatology providers need to be educated about the scope of services occupational and physical therapists provide beyond the hand impairments.

Expert opinion INTRODUCTION Thumb carpometacarpal joint (CMC) osteoarthritis is a common condition seen in the hand therapy clinic. Prevalence is generally higher in females, and the percentage rises for post-menopausal females. Patients typically present with pain and functional difficulties. Conservative management is recommended before a surgical consult. Evidence is mounting that a dynamic stability modeled approach has a significant effect on pain and improving function.

The purpose of this paper is two-fold first, to present the history and development of a dynamic stabilization model for treatment of the patient with thumb CMC osteoarthritis (OA), and second, to provide expert clinical commentary and recommendations for the treatment of thumb CMC OA in light of the best available evidence.

Expert clinical commentary is based on an extensive review of relevant literature.

The current literature and expert opinion supports an evidence-informed multimodal intervention modalities, pain relief techne use of appropriate patient-rated outcome measures.
Since osteopenia has been reported to potentially associated with the progression of scoliosis, bone mineral density (BMD) might have some influences on adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). However, little is known about longitudinal BMD changes in AIS patients. This study aimed to investigate whether osteopenia in preoperative AIS patients persist at bone maturity, and to evaluate the association between BMD and AIS severity.

We reviewed 61 AIS patients who underwent surgery when they were Risser grade 4 or below and less than 20 years old (16.6±1.9 years), were followed until they were at least 18 years old and had a Risser grade of 5, and followed at least 2 years after the surgery (mean follow-up 4.9±1.7 years). We evaluated radiographical parameters and proximal femur BMD before surgery and at the final follow-up. A BMD of less than the mean minus 1SD was considered as low BMD. Based on preoperative BMD, 37 patients were assigned to normal BMD (N) group (1.02±0.08g/cm
) and 24 patients to low BMD (L) group (0.82±0.06g/cm
).

All patients in the N-group had normal BMD at the final follow-up. In the L group, 15 patients (62.5%) had low BMD at the final follow-up (L-L group; preoperative 0.79±0.05g/cm
and final follow-up 0.78±0.05g/cm
). The mean preoperative Cobb angle was significantly larger in the L-L group (67.8±11.2°) than in those with normal BMD at the final follow-up (L-N group, 55.6±11.8°) or the N-N group (50.8±7.6°). Preoperative BMD was significantly negative correlated with the preoperative Cobb angle. The age at surgery and mean preoperative BMI were similar in the L-N and L-L groups.

Of AIS patients with low preoperative BMD, 62.5% still had low BMD after reaching bone maturity, and low BMD was associated with the severity of scoliosis.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of microRNA 146a (miR-146a) overexpressed bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) exosomes on spinal cord injury (SCI) recovery.

Rat BMMSCs were isolated and transfected with miR-146a mimic (miR-mimic) and control mimic (NC-mimic), after which their exosomes were isolated. Afterward, SCI rat models were constructed, then treated with phosphate buffer saline (PBS), NC BMMSCs exosomes (separated from the culture medium of BMMSCs with NC-mimic), and miR-146a overexpressed BMMSCs exosomes (isolated from the culture medium of BMMSCs with miR-mimic), respectively; additionally, rats underwent sham surgery were treated with PBS as controls.

MiR-146a was upregulated in BMMSCs, and BMMSCs derived exosomes post miR-mimic transfection. Then in SCI rats, BMMSCs exosomes elevated the Basso, Beattie, and Bresnahan (BBB) score and reduced hematoxylin&eosin-reflected spinal cord tissue injury. In addition, BMMSCs exosomes did not affect TUNEL positive cells rate while increased NeuN(+) cells/field in spinal cord tissue from SCI rats. As for inflammation, BMMSCs exosomes repressed pro-inflammatory cytokine expressions, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, in spinal cord tissue from SCI rats. Furthermore, miR-146a overexpressed BMMSCs exosomes presented with notably better effects regarding elevating BBB score in SCI rats and reducing tissue injury, neuron apoptosis, and inflammation while enhancing neuron viability in spinal cord tissue from SCI rats.

MiR-146a overexpressed BMMSCs exosomes enhance locomotor capacity and neuron viability while reducing neuron apoptosis and spinal cord tissue inflammation in SCI rats.

The resident-attending dyad influences the intraoperative training of surgery residents. To better understand the role of trainees within the dyad, we hypothesized there is a measurable concept of "teachability," a combination of the trainee's observed skills and behaviors with their performance. This study aims to define teachability and identify discrete intraoperative behaviors that contribute to this concept. We posit that residents who are active learners as demonstrated by asking questions, proposing next steps, and initiating purposeful actions have higher teachability.

Previously recorded videos from 26 laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs performed by two PGY-5 general surgery residents at a Midwest tertiary care center were qualitatively reviewed for intraoperative behaviors. A summative content analysis identified behaviors associated with increased teachability and improved operative performance assessment scores.

Average frequencies of intraoperative behaviors for resident 1 and 2 (R1 and R2) were not significantly different, although R2 asked more medical knowledge and technical questions.
