Medial-Sided Repair in Multi-Ligamentous Knee Injury by Rohan R. Patel BS, Joshua S. Green MS, Jay Moran MD, Estevao Santos MD, Michael J. Medvecky MD

“…There has been little evidence for the superior management of these structures regarding the use of repair or reconstruction to reproduce overall knee function. Although reconstruction may provide more valgus stability postoperatively, the use of sMCL repair over reconstruction may be superior at reestablishing native anatomic alignment and kinematic relationships of the knee while also preserving proprioception and providing similar valgus stability. …”

The immune tolerance role of Bregs in inhibiting human inflammatory diseases, with a focus on diabetes mellitus by Qi Zhang, Qi Zhang, Jinfeng Liao, Zheng Liu, Siyuan Song, Limin Tian, Yi Wang, Yi Wang, Yi Wang

“…In T2DM, chronic inflammation and metabolic stress impair Breg numbers and function, further fueling insulin resistance. While Bregs play a central role in T1DM by directly preventing β-cell destruction, their role in T2DM is more supportive, modulating inflammation in metabolically stressed tissues. …”

Determinants of growth differentiation factor 15 plasma levels in outpatients with peripheral arterial disease by Emma Skau, Philippe Wagner, Jerzy Leppert, Johan Ärnlöv, Pär Hedberg

“…In contrast, no significant independent associations with GDF-15 level were observed for cardiac geometry and function, ABI, IMT, or carotid stenosis. Conclusions: Circulating GDF-15 is more strongly associated with traditional CV risk factors, especially diabetes, LDL cholesterol, and physical activity than with specific indicators of atherosclerotic burden or cardiac dysfunction. …”
