This is a review on talus osteochondritis dissecans and talus osteochondral lesions. A majority of the osteochondral lesions are associated with trauma while the cause of pure osteochondritis dissecans is still much discussed with a possible cause being repetitive microtraumas associated with vascular disturbances causing subchondral bone necrosis and disability. Symptomatic nondisplaced osteochondral lesions can often be treated conservatively in children and adolescents while such treatment is less successful in adults. Surgical treatment is indicated when there is an unstable cartilage fragment. There are a large number of different operative technique options with no number one technique to be recommended. Most techniques have been presented in level II to IV studies with a low number of patients with short follow ups and few randomized comparisons exist. The actual situation in treating osteochondral lesions in the ankle is presented and discussed.

Non-painful symptoms in migraine following headache resolution can last up to days. Studying the postdrome is important to appreciate the morbidity associated with migraine.

Fifty-three subjects (

 = 53) with migraine were studied in an experimental setting, collecting historical phenotypic information on the postdrome in their spontaneous attacks, and also associated with nitroglycerin-triggered attacks, while being observed prospectively. In a separate headache clinic-based cohort of migraineurs (

 = 42), who were age and sex-matched to the experimental group, the same phenotypic data were extracted from their clinic records. Spontaneous and nitroglycerin-triggered attack phenotypes, and experimental and clinical cohort phenotypes were compared using agreement analysis.

In the experimental group, 100% had a postdrome with their triggered attack, while 98% reported a postdrome in their spontaneous attacks. In the clinical group, 79% had reported a postdrome. In the experimental group, there was good ostdrome, and aid understanding of attack mediation, abortion and neurobiology.

Voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies are implicated in limbic encephalitis and currently included in first-episode psychosis organic screening guidelines. Individuals with high-positive voltage-gated potassium channel titres most commonly present with neurological symptoms as well as sleep, cognitive, behaviour, psychosis and mood disturbance. The significance of low-positive voltage-gated potassium channel antibody titres in psychiatric patients is unclear and has not been previously examined. We aim to describe a statewide cohort of psychiatric patients with low- and high-positive voltage-gated potassium channel titres and explore if this finding influenced clinical management and patient outcomes.

A retrospective review of all voltage-gated potassium channel antibodies testing performed in public psychiatric services in Queensland, Australia, with comparison of the clinical presentation and long-term outcomes of low- and high-positive voltage-gated potassium channel titre cases. Specific antigen f 1067 days follow-up.

Voltage-gated potassium channel antibody-associated limbic encephalitis was rare, and always associated with high antibody titres. Low-positive titres were not associated with the development of encephalitis over a long period of follow-up. read more The value of universal voltage-gated potassium channel antibody screening is unclear, and further prospective studies in first-episode psychosis populations are required.

Nasal septal abscess is a rare disorder in pediatric patients and is mostly diagnosed as a complication of trauma or secondary to dental or sinonasal infection.

A 10-year-old girl presented with acute nasal obstruction, otalgia, and headache. Medical history was negative; physical examination and anterior rhinoscopy did not reveal signs of acute rhinosinusitis or septal abscess.

A thorough nasal endoscopy was performed to rule out a posterior nasal infection, revealing a bilateral posterior septal bulging, in the absence of purulent discharge. CT scan and contrast-enhanced MRI were performed, confirming the diagnosis of a spontaneous posterior septal abscess. Trans-nasal endoscopic-assisted drainage was conducted under general anesthesia.

was detected on culture.

Although rare, nasal septal abscess in the pediatric age is typically anterior and secondary to local trauma or infection. Accurate medical history and anterior rhinoscopy are usually sufficient to make the diagnosis. In cases where the clcranial abscess, meningitis, and cavernous sinus thrombosis.

This study examined dietary indicators, sedentary time, and physical activity as potential mediators of the association between TV time and BMIz in youth.

Cross-sectional study in 2 independent samples of youth.

Data collection occurred by mail and telephone for adolescents and either at home or in medical settings for children.

928 youth ages 12-16 and 756 youth ages 6-12 and a parent.

TV time, snacking/eating while watching TV, and a 3-day dietary recall were assessed via child/parent report. Physical activity and sedentary time were assessed by accelerometer wear.

Direct and indirect associations (through 8 diet and activity variables) of TV time with BMIz were tested in boys and girls in each sample.

TV time had a positive association with BMIz in 6-12 year old boys and girls. Direct associations emerged between TV time and the diet/activity variables, and between diet/activity variables and BMIz. Snacking/eating while watching TV had a significant positive association with BMIz in younger boys and mediated the association between TV time and BMIz (

= .06,

= .019; 25% attenuation).

Snacking/eating while watching TV may be a possible reason TV time is consistently associated with obesity in youth. Targeting reductions in TV time and associated snacking could improve health impacts.
