TL;DR: This paper studied the portfolio behavior of bank loans following a monetary tightening and found that real estate and consumer loans sharply decrease, while commercial and industrial (C&I) loans increase during a "non-monetary" downturn.

TL;DR: Although the majority of bony lesions resolve, permanent alterations remained in some cases and have implications that may affect rehabilitation and the long-term prognosis in those patients with extensive bony and associated articular cartilage injuries.
Abstract: Magnetic resonance images (MRI) were performed within three weeks of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture on 75 skeletally mature patients. Occult bony lesions were documented in 64 (85%) of the patients. Of the 64 patients with bone injuries, 83% had lesions of the lateral compartment. The lateral femoral condyle was involved in 50%, and the lateral tibial plateau was injured in 50% of the patients with changes. Nineteen of the 64 patients had more than one area of bony injury. Although the majority of bony lesions resolve, permanent alterations remained in some cases. This study has implications that may affect rehabilitation and the long-term prognosis in those patients with extensive bony and associated articular cartilage injuries.

TL;DR: The annual incidence of psoriasis almost doubled between the 1970s and 2000, but the reasons for this increase are currently unknown and could include a variety of factors, including a true change in incidence or changes in the diagnosing patterns over time.
Abstract: Background Incidence studies of psoriasis are rare, mainly due to lack of established epidemiological criteria and the variable disease course. The objective of this study is to determine time trends in incidence and survival of psoriasis patients over three decades. Methods We identified a population-based incidence cohort of 1633 subjects aged ≥18 years first diagnosed with psoriasis between January 1, 1970 and January 1, 2000. The complete medical records for each potential psoriasis subject were reviewed and diagnosis was validated by either a confirmatory diagnosis in the medical record by a dermatologist or medical record review by a dermatologist. Age- and sex-specific incidence rates were calculated and were age- and sex-adjusted to the 2000 US white population. Results The overall age- and sex-adjusted annual incidence of psoriasis was 78.9 per 100,000 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 75.0-82.9). When psoriasis diagnosis was restricted to dermatologist-confirmed subjects, the incidence was 62.3 per 100,000 (95% CI: 58.8-65.8). Incidence of psoriasis increased significantly over time from 50.8 in the period 1970-1974 to reach 100.5 per 100,000 in the 1995-1999 time period ( P = .001). Although the overall incidence was higher in males than in females ( P = .003), incidence in females was highest in the sixth decade of life (90.7 per 100,000). Survival was similar to that found in the general population ( P = .36). Limitations The study population was mostly white and limited to adult psoriasis patients. Conclusion The annual incidence of psoriasis almost doubled between the 1970s and 2000. The reasons for this increase in incidence are currently unknown, but could include a variety of factors, including a true change in incidence or changes in the diagnosing patterns over time.

TL;DR: Spondylolisthesis, when caused by separation of the pars interarticularis, is a disease which affects only man and the incidence does increase to adulthood in most races.
Abstract: Spondylolisthesis, when caused by separation of the pars interarticularis, is a disease which affects only man. It is never present at birth and seldom below the age of four. It is usually present by the age of six if it is ever going to be; but the incidence does increase to adulthood in most races
