or fractures with significant displacement or evidence of instability. Complications of triquetral fractures include non-union, triangular fibrocartilage complex injury, and pisotriquetral arthritis. While less common than scaphoid fractures, triquetral fractures should remain in the differential diagnosis for patients with ulnar-sided wrist pain after falling on an outstretched hand. Most triquetral fractures can be treated with immobilization, though they should be thoroughly evaluated due to their potential to result in instability, loss of motion, and arthrosis. Further research is needed to determine the best method of surgical treatment.Chromium (Cr) pollution in farmlands is a common environmental issue, that can seriously inhibit plant growth, damage plant cells, and even cause plant death. In this study, bok choy (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino (var. communis Tsen et Lee)) was selected as a model plant to investigate the metabolic response to Cr stress at concentrations of 2.0 mg/L and 8.0 mg/L. Metabolites were identified using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis and orthogonal projections to latent structure discriminant analysis revealed the notable effect of Cr stress on the metabolites of bok choy. Under Cr stress, 145 metabolites were identified in the bok choy leaves. At 2.0 mg/L Cr stress, 10 and 26 metabolites changed compared to the control after 7 d and 14 d, respectively. At 8.0 mg/L Cr stress, 24 and 24 metabolites changed significantly after 7 and 14 d, respectively. The data showed that metabolism was affected by the Cr stress concentration and exposure time. Specifically, under the Cr stress, the tricarboxylic acid cycle, glutamine synthetase/glutamate synthase cycle, and partial amino acid metabolic pathways were blocked, inhibiting the normal growth and development of bok choy. The change of citric acid content was the most significant, and the accumulation of citric acid indicated the degree of plant Cr toxicity and resistance. These results would facilitate further dissection of the mechanisms of heavy metal accumulation/tolerance in plants and the effective management of such contamination in vegetable crops by genetic manipulation.

Immunotherapies have demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in treating malignancies with increasing use and FDA approvals. We review the epidemiology, risk factors, diagnosis, and treatment of immunotherapy-associated cardiovascular toxicities.

Cardiotoxicity is reported in patients receiving immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies. The incidence of ICI-related cardiotoxicity is above 1% and includes myocarditis, pericardial disease, arrhythmia, acute coronary syndrome, and vasculitis. The incidence of CAR T cell-associated cardiotoxicities was shown to be as high as 26% and thought to be primarily mediated by cytokine release syndrome. The presentations of cardiotoxicities are variable but are associated with significant morbidity and mortality and benefit from prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy. There is increasing evidence for cardiotoxicities following cancer immunotherapy. Available evidence suggests that pretreatment evaluation, close monition.

There is a lack of consistency among the ACC/AHA and ESC Guidelines on the treatment of patients with lower extremity PAD to a targeted LDL-c level. A review of the current guidelines, as well as the evidence that exists for use of various lipid-lower therapies in patients with PAD, is needed to guide clinical practice and to examine the current gaps in evidence that exist.

There is evidence that statins and PCSK9 inhibitors reduce the risks of major adverse cardiovascular and limb events in patients with PAD. Most statin and non-statin trials have examined the association of LLT use with clinical outcomes, and not the association between the degree of LDL-c lowering and the reduction in risk of clinical outcomes. As such, there is a lack of agreement between the American and European PAD Guidelines over whether to treat patients with PAD to a targeted LDL-c goal. Both statins and PCSK9 inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular and limb events in patients with PAD. Further research is needed to determine if target driven LDL-c lowering is associated with improved outcomes in patients with PAD.

Aberrant growth of the maxillomandibular complex in patients with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) can be managed with dentofacial orthopaedics. However, no consensus has been reached regarding timing and evolution of the maturational stages. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine if patients with CL/P have an increased risk for delayed craniofacial maturation.

A sample of 246 cleft patients and 210 non-affected individuals was retrospectively compiled. Cephalometric radiographs taken between the ages of 10 and 14years (girls) and 12 and 16years (boys) were collected and assessed with the cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method.

In boys, no significant association between the presence of CL/P and a CVM score of CS3 or higher was observed in any age subsample. This was similar for a CVM score of CS5 or higher. Girls in the CL/P group had a significant lower probability of having a CVM score of at least CS3 in the subsample with age 11 to 12 (p = 0.001) and a borderline non-significant lower probability of having a CVM score of at least CS5 in the subsample with age 12 to 13 (p = 0.
