Abstract
BACKGROUND Low Back Pain (LBP) is commonly reported as a very frequent disorder in sports, but its prevalence in runners remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of LBP in a wide sample of Italian runners. DESIGN A cross-sectional online survey. SETTING A national survey, according to the CHERRIES and STROBE guidelines, was performed in 2019. PARTICIPANTS 2539 Italian runners. METHODS A sample of Italian runners registered with national running associations was recruited. The survey was conducted using an online survey development platform. The questionnaire was self-reported and included 38 questions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Descriptive statistics and frequencies were used to analyze results. Relationships between demographics, daily habits and running characteristics and the responses given was calculated with Cramer's V. Only correlation values higher >0.60 were deemed of interest. RESULTS 2539 questionnaires (63.5%) were valid for analysis. In total, 22.6% of runners reported having experienced LBP in the past year. Most participants (77.0%) reporting episodes of LBP believed it was not caused by running. No significant correlations (Cramer's V < 0.60) were found between LBP and demographics, training characteristics or lifestyle habits. CONCLUSION The prevalence of LBP among Italian runners was 22,57%. LBP was not associated with training, equipment or lifestyle.

Abstract
Background Through a prospective study, we evaluated the efficacy of an integrated autotransfusion regimen comprised of predeposit-hemodiluition and intra and post-operative blood salvage in major orthopaedic surgery. Methods We examined the records of 2303 consecutive patients (1524 females and 779 males, mean age 62.7, standard deviation 11 years (range 16–90 yrs), pre-operative haemoglobin (Hb) concentration 13.5 (SD 1.4) (range 6.7–19.3) g/dl undergong total hip arthroplasty (THA 1582 patients), THA after the removal of internal fixation devices (RFD+THA, 25 patients), total knee arthroplasty (TKA, 347 patients), revision surgery of the hip (HR, cup+stem revision, 248 patients; cup revision 64 patients; stem revision 23 patients) and total knee revision (TKR 14 patients). We estimated that the number of predonations (MSBOS - maximum surgery blood order schedule) was 2 units for THA, TKA and TKR, and 3 units for partial or total hip revision and for total hip arthroplasty with fixation removal. Results It was possible to obtain the MSBOS in 2070 patients (89.8%). Homologous red blood cell (HRBC) transfusion were carried out in 184 patients (8%). We found that the need to use HRBC was significantly associated with failure to meet the number of MSBOS, female sex, lower pre-operative Hb concentration, use of calcium heparin for antithrombosis prophylaxis, more extensive surgery, a higher ASA rating and co-existing diseases such as coronary artery disease. Conclusions Cooperation among anaesthesis, transfusionists and surgeons in the application of an integrated autotransfusion regimen enabled us to treat 92% of our patients with only autotransfusion.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the present study was to determine, in vivo, the effect of different types of meniscectomy on an ACL-deficient knee. METHODS Using a computer-assisted navigation system, 56 consecutive patients (45 men and 11 women) were subjected to a biomechanical testing with Lachman test (AP30), drawer test (AP90), internal/external rotation test, varus/valgus rotation test and pivot-shift test. The patients were divided into three groups according to the status of the medial meniscus. Group BH, 8 patients with bucket-handle tear of medial meniscus underwent a subtotal meniscectomy; Group PHB, 19 patients with posterior horn body of medial meniscus tear underwent a partial meniscectomy; and Group CG with isolated ACL rupture, as a control group, with 29 patients. RESULTS A significant difference in anterior tibial translation was seen at 30 grades and in 90 grades between BH and PHB groups compared to the CG. In response to pivot-shift test, no significant differences in terms of AREA and POSTERIOR ACC were found among the three groups (n.s). Concerning the anterior displacement of the pivot shift a statistically significant differences among the three tested groups was found. CONCLUSION The present study shows that meniscal defects significantly affect the kinematics of an ACL-deficient knee in terms of anterior tibial translation under static and dynamic testing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Aging process and comorbidity have been held to influence the course and outcome of acute pancreatitis in elderly patients. The aim of the present study was to investigate this issue in a large series of patients > or = 70 years of age suffering from acute pancreatitis. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospectively study was carried out on 439 patients with a first episode of AP. The patients were divided into two age groups: < or = 69 years (n = 340) and > or = 70 years (n = 99). Differences in general characteristics, aetiological factors, blood tests and laboratory data, severity of the disease and outcome were evaluated. The presence of intercurrent diseases was also investigated in the two age groups. RESULTS No significant difference was observed in the distribution of the various aetiological factors in the two age groups considered. The percentage of patients with necrotizing forms of AP, Ranson prognostic score for severity, local and systemic complications, the number of patients requiring surgical intervention or endoscopic sphincterotomy, as well as length of hospital stay were similar in the two groups. Considering the patients suffering from necrotizing acute pancreatitis, a significant increase (p = 0.01) in mortality was observed in > or = 70-year-old patients (25.8 vs 7.8%). Associated diseases were significantly more frequent in advanced age (63.6 vs 41.4%; p = 0.0004), but comorbidity did not correlate with the presence of pancreatic necrosis, the need for surgery or endoscopic sphincterotomy, and with mortality. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study suggest that advanced age and related comorbidity have only a limited influence on the course and outcome of acute pancreatitis.

Abstract
Using a prospective audit, we have evaluated the efficacy of an integrated autotransfusion regimen which comprised predepositing and intra- and postoperative blood salvage in major orthopaedic surgery. We examined prospectively the records of 1785 patients (1198 females, 5867 males, mean age 62 (range 16-90) yr, preoperative haemoglobin concentration 13.4 (SD 1.4) g dl-1) undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA, 1229 patients), THA after removal of internal fixation devices (RFD + THA, 18 patients), total knee arthroplasty (TKA, 263 patients), revision surgery of the hip (HR cup + stem revision, 197 patients; cup revision, 53 patients; stem revision, 16 patients) and total knee revision (TKR, nine patients). We estimated that the number of predonations (MSBOS = maximum surgery blood order schedule) was 2 u. for THA, TKA and TKR, and 3 u. for partial or total hip revision and total hip arthroplasty with fixation removal. We found that it was possible to obtain the MSBOS in 1597 patients (89.5%). Homologous red blood cell (HRBC) transfusions were carried out in 131 patients (7.3%). We found that the need to use HRBC was significantly associated with failure to meet the number of MSBOS, female sex, lower preoperative haemoglobin concentration, use of calcium heparin for antithrombosis prophylaxis, more extensive surgery, higher ASA rating and co-existing diseases such as coronary artery disease.
