Autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are neurodevelopmental in origin, affecting an estimated 1 88 children the United States. We previously described ASD-specific maternal autoantibodies that recognize fetal brain antigens. Herein, we demonstrate lactate dehydrogenase A and B (LDH), cypin, stress-induced phosphoprotein (STIP1), collapsin response mediator proteins 2 (CRMP1, CRMP2) Y-box-binding protein to comprise seven primary antigens of autoantibody-related (MAR) autism. Exclusive reactivity...
Numerous studies have demonstrated that long-term outcomes after orthopedic trauma are associated with psychosocial and behavioral health factors evident early in the patient's recovery. Little is known about how to identify clinically actionable subgroups within this population.To examine whether risk protective measured at 6 weeks injury could classify individuals into clusters evaluate these explain variations 12-month outcomes.A prospective observational study was conducted between July...
The aim of our study was to determine the association between admitting service, medicine or orthopaedics, and length stay (LOS) for a geriatric hip fracture patient.Retrospective.Urban level 1 trauma center.Six hundred fourteen patients from 2000 2009.Orthopaedic surgery fracture.Patient demographics, medical comorbidities, hospitalization length, service. Negative binomial regression used LOS service.Six were included in analysis, whom 49.2% (n = 302) admitted orthopaedic service 50.8% (3...
Preoperatively predicting chondral damage is important. Weightbearing radiographs, including the standing antero- posterior and 45° flexion posteroanterior views traditionally have been used for this purpose. We wanted to determine if one radiograph had superior sensitivity or specificity in detecting arthroscopically confirmed Grade II chondromalacia (mild arthritis). A standard prospective radio- graphic protocol was designed all patients who presented a sports medicine center with knee...
Objective: To characterize the associated injuries, fixation constructs, and outcomes of extra-articular unstable iliac fractures. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: Level I trauma center. Patients: Thirty-three fractures treated over a 20-year period. Intervention: Percutaneous or open at pelvic brim AND/OR crest. Main Outcome Measures: Incidence union, failure, angiography time injury. Results: Twenty-five patients were operatively with appropriate follow-up. Four had failure...
To evaluate the baseline level and demographic predictors of statistical literacy in orthopaedic patients who sustained traumatic injuries.Prospective observational.Level 1 trauma center.One hundred ninety-eight presenting to clinic.Berlin Numeracy Test (BNT) General Health Test-6 (GHNT-6).When assessed using BNT, 67% had results that placed them into lowest quartile objective numeracy skills. Only 3.5% scored top quartile. Our multivariate ordinal regression model demonstrated lower...

Abstract Aim Chronic Limb Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI) is severe peripheral arterial disease where supply sufficiently compromised to threaten tissue viability. CLTI has a prevalence of 1-2% and carries significant morbidity mortality. Early revascularisation essential for preservation. Recent guidance from CQUIN 2022/23 set national targets time based on VSGBI guidelines. This audit assessed one major vascular centre’s compliance. Method Audit standards were taken Peripheral Arterial...
