Abstract
UNLABELLED Femoral neck and pelvic fractures are rarely encountered in the pediatric population secondary to the resilient nature of the immature skeleton. Both fracture types usually result from high-energy blunt trauma including motor vehicle collisions, motor vehicle-pedestrian accidents, and falls from height. Considerable studies have been published on the natural history, management, and complications of pediatric pelvis and femoral neck fractures. However, few case reports have documented both fracture types in the same patient. Management of concomitant injuries presents unique challenges both for operative stabilization and for clinical postoperative care. After appropriate consent was obtained, a thorough review was performed of the patient's hospital records and imaging history. The senior author of the report also provided insight into the management of the patient's initial injuries and subsequent complications. Our case involves a 4-year-old female who was overrun by an all-terrain vehicle. Her orthopedic injuries included a nondisplaced Delbet type 3 fracture of the right femoral neck, a completely displaced Delbet type 3 fracture of the left femoral neck, bilateral sacroiliac fracture-dislocations, severe comminution of her left pubic rami, and a free-floating right pubic rami segment spanning from the triradiate cartilage to the pubic symphysis with severe rotational deformity. Her postoperative recovery was complicated by refracture of her left femoral neck (Delbet type 1), left hip osteomyelitis, and left femoral head avascular necrosis. The salient features of her operative management, subsequent complications, and functional recovery are described in this report. Cases of bilateral femoral neck fractures and multiple pelvic fractures in pediatric patients are sparsely documented in the literature because of their infrequent occurrence. Pediatric pelvic fractures typically do well with conservative treatment secondary to the incredible remodeling ability of the immature pelvis. Femoral neck fractures, in contrast, are highly associated with complications including coxa vara, nonunion, infection, physeal closure, and avascular necrosis. This case report documents two rare fracture types in the same patient and describes the challenges encountered throughout the duration of her recovery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level V, Case report.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are common in multiple sclerosis (MS). We evaluated the prevalence and factors associated with anxiety, depression and fatigue at the 5-year review of a longitudinal cohort study following a first clinical diagnosis of CNS demyelination (FCD). METHODS Cases with a FCD were recruited soon after diagnosis and followed annually thereafter. A variety of environmental, behavioural and clinical covariates were measured at five-year review. Anxiety and depression were measured using the Hospital Anxiety & Depression Scale (HADS), and fatigue by the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). RESULTS Of the 236 cases, 40.2% had clinical anxiety (median HADS-A: 6.0), 16.0% had clinical depression (median HADS-D: 3.0), and 41.3% had clinical fatigue (median FSS: 4.56). The co-occurrence of all three symptoms was 3.76 times greater than expectation. Younger age, higher disability, concussion or other disease diagnosis were independently associated with a higher anxiety score; male sex, higher disability, being unemployed, less physical activity, and antidepressant and/or anxiolytic-sedative medication use were independently associated with a higher depression score. Higher disability, immunomodulatory medication use, other disease diagnosis and anxiolytic-sedative medication use were independently associated with having fatigue, while female sex, higher BMI, having had a concussion, being unemployed and higher disability were associated with a higher fatigue score. CONCLUSION These results support previous findings of the commonality of anxiety, depression and fatigue in established MS and extend this to post-FCD and early MS cases. The clustering of the three symptoms indicates that they may share common antecedents.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We sought to determine the prevalence of MS on the Isle of Man in 2006 and 2011, and the incidence and mortality rates over this interval. METHODS Cases were identified by hospital medical record review, General Practitioners and the local MS Society. The significance of the change in prevalence over time and the significance of differences in frequencies by sex and place of birth were assessed by Poisson regression. RESULTS The 2006 prevalence was 153.64 per 100,000 persons and the 2011 prevalence was 179.89. The prevalence was higher among females and persons born in the Isle of Man at both time points. The 2006-2011 incidence rate was 6.86 per 100,000 person-years, much higher among females and persons born in the Isle of Man. The prevalence sex ratios in 2006 and 2011, 2.77 and 2.59, respectively, and the incidence sex ratio, 2.19, are similar to others found in the region. The mortality rate over the study period was 2.84 per 100,000 person-years, this solely among persons born overseas. CONCLUSIONS This is the first study of MS epidemiology in the Isle of Man, finding this area to be of high prevalence and to have one of the highest incidence rates in the UK region.

Abstract
Insufficient pancreatic β-cell mass or function results in diabetes mellitus. While significant progress has been made in regulating insulin secretion from β-cells in diabetic patients, no pharmacological agents have been described that increase β-cell replication in humans. Here we report aminopyrazine compounds that stimulate robust β-cell proliferation in adult primary islets, most likely as a result of combined inhibition of DYRK1A and GSK3B. Aminopyrazine-treated human islets retain functionality in vitro and after transplantation into diabetic mice. Oral dosing of these compounds in diabetic mice induces β-cell proliferation, increases β-cell mass and insulin content, and improves glycaemic control. Biochemical, genetic and cell biology data point to Dyrk1a as the key molecular target. This study supports the feasibility of treating diabetes with an oral therapy to restore β-cell mass, and highlights a tractable pathway for future drug discovery efforts.

Abstract
A decompressive hemicraniectomy is frequently performed for patients with malignant middle cerebral artery territory infarction (MMI) to reduce the intracranial hypertension, which may otherwise result in transtentorial herniation. However, certain clinically significant issues ‑ diagnostic criteria, predictors of the MMI clinical course, benefit of surgery in certain populations, timing of surgery ‑ are unresolved. In this article, we provide an updated review on the diagnosis and management of MMI. An extensive search of the PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane was conducted using varying combinations of the search terms, "hemicraniectomy," "decompressive craniectomy," "malignant middle cerebral artery territory infarction," "massive middle cerebral artery territory infarction," "massive ischemic stroke," "decompressive surgery," and "neurosurgery for ischemic stroke." Several large, randomized trials within the past decade have firmly established the benefit of decompressive hemicraniectomy (DHC) as a treatment of MMI. Further studies since then have not only better characterized the diagnosis and predictors of MMI, but have also shown that this benefit extends to patients with additional clinical and demographic characteristics. Future randomized studies should continue to evaluate the benefit of a DHC in other subgroups, and assess neurocognitive and psychosocial secondary outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among the environmental factors associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) causation, some of the strongest associations are with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and to a lesser extent human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6). Associations with clinical course are less conclusive, however. METHODS We evaluated serum anti-EBV-EA-R IgG and anti-HHV6 IgM, and EBV and HHV6 viral load (VL) for their associations with relapse, disability, and progression in disability in a prospective cohort of 198 participants with clinically definite MS. RESULTS Anti-EBV-EA-R IgG was detected in 81.8% of cases at study entry, and titers remained essentially unchanged during the study. Anti-HHV6 IgM was detected in only one participant, and EBV-VL (29%) and HHV6-VL (1.8%) were detected in a minority of samples, and where detected levels were low. Our previously demonstrated association between anti-HHV6 IgG and relapse hazard was not affected by adjustment for parameters of reactivation. We found no evidence that any of the viral markers were associated with disability or progression in disability. In relation to relapse, only EBV-VL was positively associated, although this was strongly influenced by a single individual. CONCLUSION Using a prospective cohort design, we found no convincing evidence that reactivation parameters of EBV or HHV6 were associated with subsequent MS relapse hazard or progression in disability, confirming previous findings, and indicating that herpesvirus reactivation is not an important driver of relapse or disability in this established MS population.
