Revision surgeries were not required in the primary group. In the secondary group, there was 1 revision due to deep infection, and 3 other patients required dorsal plate removal. Excluding plate removal, the Kaplan-Meier survival at 3 years was not significantly different between groups ( = .775). Although arthrodesis of the first MTP joint was an effective procedure for hallux rigidus, the clinical outcomes in patients who had prior hallux valgus surgery were worse than those for patients who underwent primary surgery for hallux rigidus. Level III, retrospective cohort study. Level III, retrospective cohort study. To evaluate outcomes, healthcare resource utilization, and costs associated with mucormycosis in inpatient settings in Japan. We performed a systematic literature review, followed by a retrospective database study using hospital health claims for patients in Japan hospitalized with a diagnosis of mucormycosis between January 2010 and January 2019. Outcomes assessed included duration of index hospitalization; index stay mortality; hospital readmission within 30, 60, and 90 days after index hospitalization discharge; drug/treatment utilization and patterns; number of patients examined for mucormycosis during the index hospitalization; and index stay inpatient costs. From our systematic literature review of articles describing 133 patients with mucormycosis, mortality in the index hospitalization was 55.6%. From our database study of 126 patients hospitalized for mucormycosis, mortality during the index hospitalization was 35.7% and mean index stay duration was 94 days. Hematologic malignancies were the most common risk factor in the literature review and the most common comorbidity in the database study. During the index stay, 39 patients (31.0%) received liposomal amphotericin B (L-AMB) treatment and 74 patients (58.7%) received other antifungal treatments. Erastin2 Median total inpatient costs for the index hospitalization were equivalent to approximately US$60,945, including US$29,283 in drug costs. This study investigated the healthcare resource utilization and cost of medical resources caused by mucormycosis in Japan. The drug costs for antifungal treatments comprised about half of total inpatient costs. Mucormycosis leads to high mortality, high healthcare resource utilization, and high costs.

Whittaker's second edition of his A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity is famous for his treatment of Einstein as an almost irrelevant character in the emergence of what he called "the relativity theory of Poincaré and Lorentz." Historians of science have given a number of explanations, which include Whittaker's scientific conservatism as an old classical physicist, his commitment to the ether, the pre-eminent role he attributed to mathematics over physics, and foundational philosophical disagreements, to name a few. And in the background, often more implicit than forthright, the accusation of antisemitism looms over Whittaker. In this paper I intend to shed new light on this controversy by taking into consideration the abundant correspondence between Whittaker and his son preserved in the archives of the Fisher Library, University of Toronto. With it, we will get a more complex and personal view of the context in which his attempt at dethroning Einstein took place. Together with the abovementioned reasons, this correspondence shows that the problematic status quo of general relativity in the early 1950s, a period that has been described as the low-mark of general relativity, was very influential in the historical tre
