The most frequent reason for interconsultation was diabetes mellitus/hyperglucemia (28.8%), requiring 6.1±6.7 days per patient. However, interconsultations for artificial nutrition required more days of attendance per patient and accounted for a higher percentage of the total number of days of interconsultation (60.4%). Conclusions The inpatient care activity of the E&N departments of Castilla-La Mancha Public Health Service mainly consists of attending to patients with chronic pathologies of high hospital prevalence such as diabetes mellitus/hyperglucemia and, especially, clinical nutrition.Emerging literature suggests that diet plays an important modulatory role in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) through the management of inflammation and oxidative stress. The aim of this narrative review is to evaluate the evidence collected up till now regarding optimum diet therapy for IBD and to design a food pyramid for these patients. The pyramid shows that carbohydrates should be consumed every day (3 portions), together with tolerated fruits and vegetables (5 portions), yogurt (125ml), and extra virgin olive oil; weekly, fish (4 portions), white meat (3 portions), eggs (3 portions), pureed legumes (2 portions), seasoned cheeses (2 portions), and red or processed meats (once a week). At the top of the pyramid, there are two pennants the red one means that subjects with IBD need some personalized supplementation and the black one means that there are some foods that are banned. Abiraterone manufacturer The food pyramid makes it easier for patients to decide what they should eat.The updated RCN Competence Framework for orthopaedic and trauma practitioners was published in 2019 following completion of a 2 year project undertaken by a working group of representatives from England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Expert musculoskeletal practitioners, including an allied health professional and working across the lifespan in varying domains of orthopaedic and trauma practice, collaborated to produce a working document applicable to trauma and orthopaedic (T&O) practitioners from all NHS (UK) pay bands. The 2019 document builds on the original and subsequent versions (2005 and 2012), importing new evidence and reformatting it so that it is contemporary and easily cross referenced with the NMC Code (2018). The restructure includes an example of a learning contract demonstrating how the framework can be applied in practice, whether for self-learning, or in conjunction with the revalidation process. This paper reflects on and describes the process undertaken by the working group in the development and restructuring of the 2019 framework, including its evaluation to date and planned in the future.Background The critical shoulder angle (CSA) has been shown to be correlated with shoulder disease states. The biomechanical hypothesis to explain this correlation is that the CSA changes the shear and compressive forces on the shoulder. The objective of this study is to test this hypothesis by use of a validated computational shoulder model. Specifically, this study assesses the impact on glenohumeral biomechanics of modifying the CSA. Methods An inverse dynamics 3-dimensional musculoskeletal model of the shoulder was used to quantify muscle forces and glenohumeral joint forces. The CSA was changed by altering the attachment point of the middle deltoid into a normal CSA (33°), a reduced CSA of 28°, and an increased CSA of 38°. Subject-specific kinematics of slow and fast speed abduction in the scapular plane and slow and fast forward flexion measured by a 3-dimensional motion capture system were used to quantify joint reaction shear and compressive forces. Results Increasing the CSA results in increased superior-inferior forces (shearing forces; integrated over the range of motion; P less then .05). Reducing CSA results in increased lateromedial (compressive) forces for both the maximum and integrated sum of the forces over the whole motion (P less then .01). Discussion/conclusion Changes in the CSA modify glenohumeral joint biomechanics with increasing CSA producing higher shear forces that could contribute to rotator cuff overuse, whereas reducing the CSA results in higher compressive forces that contribute to joint wear.Cutibacterium acnes is a lipophilic, anaerobic, gram-positive bacillus that mainly colonizes the pilosebaceous glands of human skin. It has been implicated as the leading cause of prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after shoulder arthroplasty. However, PJI caused by C acnes rarely manifests as overt clinical, laboratory, or imaging features. In fact, more than 40% of shoulders undergoing revision arthroplasty are likely to be culture positive. However, rates of infection following a positive culture can be as low as 5%. The purpose of this review was to put forth alternative explanations for this discordance between positive cultures and infection. We describe C acnes roles as a commensal, bystander, and/or contaminant organism; the role of cultures in diagnosis and other methods that may be more accurate; its existence in a shoulder microbiome; and the variable virulence of C acnes. C acnes is an important cause of shoulder PJI in some patients. However, there is a large body of literature that suggests other functions that need to be considered. Further research is needed to define the role of C acnes that is logically explained by all of the literature and not only some.Background Fixation of clavicle fractures has now become a more popular option as it provides better outcome compared with conservative management. Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) has been effectively used in plating of distal radius and olecranon fractures. This paper expands the usage of WALANT into the shoulder girdle, namely plating of the clavicle that has not been described. The operation is typically performed under general anesthesia. Methods We report a case series of 16 patients who successfully underwent fixation of the clavicle under the wide-awake technique. The clavicle fractures were grouped under the AO Fracture Classification. The WALANT solution comprised 1% lidocaine, 1100,000 epinephrine, and 101 sodium bicarbonate. A total of 40 mL was injected in each patient with 10 mL subcutaneously along the clavicle followed by 30 mL subperiosteally at multiple intervals and directions. Results The Numerical Pain Rating Score was 0 during WALANT injection and during surgery except for 2 patients with Numerical Pain Rating Scores of 1 and 2, respectively, during reduction.
