The most promising F508del-CFTR corrector, VX-809, has been unsuccessful as an effective, stand-alone treatment for CF patients, but the rescue effect in combination with other drugs may confer acceptable level of therapeutic benefit. Targeting cellular factors that modify trafficking act to enhance cell surface density F508-CFTR VX-809 correction. Our goal is identify druggable kinases and stabilization at beyond achievable corrector alone. To achieve this goal, we implemented a new...

Pediatric olecranon fractures can be treated with several methods of fixation. Though postoperative outcomes various fixation techniques, including cannulated intramedullary screws, have been described in adults, functional and radiographic screw pediatric patients are unclear. In this study, we assessed clinical, radiographic, functional, patient-reported compression fixation.We retrospectively identified 37 aged 16 years or younger a total 40 at our level-1 trauma center between April 2005...
