Can pre-operative axial CT imaging predict syndesmosis instability in patients sustaining ankle fractures?
Axial CT measurements of tibiofibular distance were useful predictors for syndesmosis instability in fractured ankles. The aTFD and maxTFD are the most powerful parameters to predict positive operative instability.
Family-based association analysis shows the KIAA0040 gene significantly associated with alcohol dependence. The potential importance of the KIAA0040 gene for AD risk is currently unknown. However, the present results support earlier findings from a genome-wide association study.
