    Abstract: The Colonoscopy Versus Fecal Immunochemical Test in Reducing Mortality From Colorectal Cancer (CONFIRM) randomized clinical trial sought to recruit 50 000 adults into a study comparing colorectal cancer (CRC) mortality outcomes after randomization to either an annual fecal immunochemical test (FIT) or colonoscopy. Objective To (1) describe study participant characteristics and (2) examine who declined participation because of a preference for colonoscopy or stool testing (ie, fecal occult blood test [FOBT]/FIT) and assess that preference’s association with geographic and temporal factors. Design, Setting, and Participants This cross-sectional study within CONFIRM, which completed enrollment through 46 Department of Veterans Affairs medical centers between May 22, 2012, and December 1, 2017, with follow-up planned through 2028, comprised veterans aged 50 to 75 years with an average CRC risk and due for screening. Data were analyzed between March 7 and December 5, 2022. Exposure Case report forms were used to capture enrolled participant data and reasons for declining participation among otherwise eligible individuals. Main Outcomes and Measures Descriptive statistics were used to characterize the cohort overall and by intervention. Among individuals declining participation, logistic regression was used to compare preference for FOBT/FIT or colonoscopy by recruitment region and year. Results A total of 50 126 participants were recruited (mean [SD] age, 59.1 [6.9] years; 46 618 [93.0%] male and 3508 [7.0%] female). The cohort was racially and ethnically diverse, with 748 (1.5%) identifying as Asian, 12 021 (24.0%) as Black, 415 (0.8%) as Native American or Alaska Native, 34 629 (69.1%) as White, and 1877 (3.7%) as other race, including multiracial; and 5734 (11.4%) as having Hispanic ethnicity. Of the 11 109 eligible individuals who declined participation (18.0%), 4824 (43.4%) declined due to a stated preference for a specific screening test, with FOBT/FIT being the most preferred method (2820 [58.5%]) vs colonoscopy (1958 [40.6%] ; P   & amp;lt; .001) or other screening tests (46 [1.0%] P   & amp;lt; .001). Preference for FOBT/FIT was strongest in the West (963 of 1472 [65.4%]) and modest elsewhere, ranging from 199 of 371 (53.6%) in the Northeast to 884 of 1543 (57.3%) in the Midwest ( P  = .001). Adjusting for region, the preference for FOBT/FIT increased by 19% per recruitment year (odds ratio, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.14-1.25). Conclusions and Relevance In this cross-sectional analysis of veterans choosing nonenrollment in the CONFIRM study, those who declined participation more often preferred FOBT or FIT over colonoscopy. This preference increased over time and was strongest in the western US and may provide insight into trends in CRC screening preferences.

    Abstract: e19016 Background: The standard remission induction regimen for medically fit patients with AML consists of a backbone of cytarabine & an anthracycline (“7+3” therapy). However, the choice & dose of the anthracycline varies between institutions & practitioner preference, particularly in patients with favorable risk cytogenetics. Gemtuzumab ozogamicin (GO) may improve outcomes in this patient population but is associated with increased toxicities. Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis on medically fit patients ≥ 18 yo with favorable risk AML from 2015-2020 treated with 7+3 at the University of Virginia. Patients were stratified based on standard dose (45 or 60 mg/m 2 daunorubicin) (SD) vs higher dose (90 mg/m 2 daunorubicin or 12 mg/m 2 idarubicin) (HD) of anthracycline vs the addition of GO. Measures included rates of remission, EFS, RFS, and OS as well as rates of treatment-related complications. Results: In total, 58 patients were identified, of which 33 received induction with SD, 19 received HD, & 6 received GO. The majority (75%) of patients were 〈 60 years old & 93% had de novo AML. The rates of complete remission in the SD, HD & GO groups were 90.9%, 89.5% & 100%, respectively (p = 0.57). EFS at 2-years was 43.9%, 36.7%, & 66.7%, respectively (p = 0.85). RFS at 2-years was 53.0%, 39.0%, & 100%, respectively (p = 0.18). OS at 2-years was similar between all groups (58.9%, 56.9%, & 66.7%, p = 0.92). The rate & duration of cytopenias after induction were similar among all groups (median duration 29 days), however cytopenias were more common in the GO group following consolidation. The rates of major bleeding, admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and new onset cardiomyopathy (EF 〈 50%) were higher in the GO group (major bleeding: 0% in SD, 5.3% in HD, 33.3% in GO; ICU admission: 12.1% in SD, 21.1% in HD, 33.3% in GO; cardiomyopathy: 12.1% in SD, 26.3% in HD, 33.3% in GO). The rate of infection, liver dysfunction, & acute renal injury were similar among all groups. No patients developed veno-occlusive disease. Conclusions: Patients receiving GO had a trend toward improved EFS & RFS, however with a similar OS at the expense of higher rates of cytopenias, major bleeding, ICU admission, & cardiotoxicity. Patients receiving HD had a trend toward worse outcomes than those who received SD. A major limitation of our study is the small sample size & single institution experience, however multi-institutional analysis is ongoing for further investigation.[Table: see text]

    Abstract: Sports ultrasound is commonly used by sports medicine physicians to enhance diagnostic and procedural accuracy. This expert consensus statement serves as an update to the 2015 American Medical Society for Sports Medicine recommended sports ultrasound curriculum for sports medicine fellowships. Although written in the context of the American sports medicine fellowship training model, we present a stepwise progression in both diagnostic and interventional sports ultrasound that may be applicable to the broader sports medicine community. The curriculum is divided into 12 units with each unit including didactic instructional sessions, practical hands-on instruction, independent scanning practice sessions, and mentored clinical experience. To assist with prioritization of learning, we have organized relevant pathology and procedures as essential, desirable, and optional. The expanded content can serve as an outline for continuing education postfellowship or for any physician to further advance their sports ultrasound knowledge and skill. We also provide updated scanning protocols, sample milestones, and a sample objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) to aid fellowships with implementation of the curriculum and ongoing assessment of fellow progress.

    Abstract: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the leading cause of joint disease in the United States. Conventional conservative interventions are often ineffective in providing long-term improvements in pain and function, and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy provides a promising treatment option. The traditional source of MSCs was of autologous origin; however, allogeneic MSC treatments are gaining popularity. Objectives: To review the current literature and perform a best evidence synthesis regarding the use of injectable allogeneic and autologous MSCs for the treatment of knee OA. Results: Although many studies were limited by sample size and lack of a control group, there were 19 studies that assessed injectable MSC therapy for knee OA, and most shown potential to improve pain and function. There were no studies that compared autologous versus allogeneic MSC injections, and only 1 study that compared adipose-derived versus bone marrow–derived MSC injections that showed significant improvements in pain and function but no significant differences between injection groups. Conclusions: MSC therapies in the treatment of knee OA are safe and have shown promising results but the available studies are limited. At this time, no definitive recommendations can be made regarding which MSC source to use. Allogeneic MSCs offer theoretical advantages over autologous MSCs, especially in ease of use and consistency of product, but there are concerns regarding cell viability and vitality, as well as the body’s response to nonautologous products. Future clinical trials should focus on randomized head-to-head comparisons of MSC sources as well as the use of multiple injections for patients with knee OA.

    Abstract: SUMMARY There is considerable interest amongst clinicians and researchers to create the optimal platelet product to maximize outcomes with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections. PRP has been widely introduced as a safe alternative for treating tendinopathies. However, there is still limited clinical evidence describing the components of the platelet product and supporting its use in clinical trials. This article reviews the current literature regarding the role of PRP injections in the treatment of recalcitrant tendinopathies and the different factors in the platelet product that could affect the outcome, including the platelet count, presence of leukocytes, activators used, pH of solution and delivery method, among others. In addition, we address important concepts regarding rehabilitation after PRP procedures, which has little consensus to date and is the subject of much debate. Based on the phases of soft tissue healing, basic science research on platelets, as well as our clinical experience in treating over 500 patients with PRP, we will suggest guidelines regarding the optimal progression of rehabilitation and timing for return to previous activity following the procedure.

    Abstract: This study aimed to determine whether autologous orthobiologic tissue source affects pain and functional outcomes in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA) who received microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) or bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) injection. We retrospectively reviewed prospectively collected data from patients who received BMAC or MFAT injection for symptomatic knee OA. Patients completed baseline and follow-up surveys. Each survey included the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) questionnaire, Emory Quality of Life (EQOL) questionnaire, and Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for pain. The follow-up responses were compared with baseline for all patients and between BMAC and MFAT groups. A total of 110 patients met inclusion criteria, with 76 patients (BMAC 41, MFAT 35) and 106 knees (BMAC 58, MFAT 48) having appropriate follow-up data. The BMAC group included 17 females and 24 males, with a mean age of 59 ± 11 years. The MFAT group included 23 females and 12 males, with a mean age of 63 ± 11 years. Minimum follow-up time was 0.5 years. Mean follow-up time was 1.80 ± 0.88 years for BMAC and 1.09 ± 0.49 years for MFAT. Both groups had significant improvement in EQOL, VAS, and all KOOS parameters preprocedure versus postprocedure (p  & lt; .001). There was not a significant difference when comparing postprocedure scores between groups (p = .09, .38, .63, .94, .17, .15, .70, respectively). These data demonstrate significant improvement in pain and function with both MFAT and BMAC injections in patients with symptomatic knee OA without a significant difference in improvement when comparing the two autologous tissue sources.

    Abstract: In this case series, three elite college-level female volleyball players between 21 and 22 years old experienced acute abdominal pain during an overhead swinging motion. All three athletes were diagnosed with acute rectus abdominis (RA) muscle strain using musculoskeletal ultrasound, without the need for MRI. Each athlete sustained severe RA injury resulting in substantial loss of playing time and warranted a focused rehabilitation program, which emphasized core strengthening, physical modalities, and altering athletes’ hitting technique. RA muscle strain is a relatively infrequent, yet potentially severe, injury in elite volleyball players that necessitates early diagnosis and treatment to avoid prolonged or incomplete recovery.

    Abstract: Autologous biological cellular preparations have materialized as a growing area of medical advancement in interventional (orthopedic) practices and surgical interventions to provide an optimal tissue healing environment, particularly in tissues where standard healing is disrupted and repair and ultimately restoration of function is at risk. These cellular therapies are often referred to as orthobiologics and are derived from patient’s own tissues to prepare point of care platelet-rich plasma (PRP), bone marrow concentrate (BMC), and adipose tissue concentrate (ATC). Orthobiological preparations are biological materials comprised of a wide variety of cell populations, cytokines, growth factors, molecules, and signaling cells. They can modulate and influence many other resident cells after they have been administered in specific diseased microenvironments. Jointly, the various orthobiological cell preparations are proficient to counteract persistent inflammation, respond to catabolic reactions, and reinstate tissue homeostasis. Ultimately, precisely delivered orthobiologics with a proper dose and bioformulation will contribute to tissue repair. Progress has been made in understanding orthobiological technologies where the safety and relatively easy manipulation of orthobiological treatment tools has been demonstrated in clinical applications. Although more positive than negative patient outcome results have been registered in the literature, definitive and accepted standards to prepare specific cellular orthobiologics are still lacking. To promote significant and consistent clinical outcomes, we will present a review of methods for implementing dosing strategies, using bioformulations tailored to the pathoanatomic process of the tissue, and adopting variable preparation and injection volume policies. By optimizing the dose and specificity of orthobiologics, local cellular synergistic behavior will increase, potentially leading to better pain killing effects, effective immunomodulation, control of inflammation, and (neo) angiogenesis, ultimately contributing to functionally restored body movement patterns.
