As they were not well-standardized, we cannot compare specific outcome measures at specific time points in order to assess how well each antibiotic performed relative to the others or compared with untreated children (historical control populations) [3, 189, 190, 193, 194, 198]. ; Snchez-Enrquez, S. Combination of noise plus weight-bearing accelerates consolidation time in tibial shaft fractures: A preliminary report. Therefore, more research is warranted in this area, with partnerships between rehabilitation and surgical departments being of upmost importance. Potential harms of surgery include risks of anesthesia, bleeding, secondary infection, and other procedurerelated complications. Septic arthritis is the most prominent musculoskeletal infection caused by K. kingae, although bone involvement may also occur. Others prefer a combination of oxacillin/ nafcillin and an MRSA-active antibiotic in an effort to provide optimal empiric therapy to cover CA-MRSA, MSSA, and S. pyogenes [160, 161]. Time to appropriate antibiotic therapy is an independent determinant of postinfection ICU and hospital lengths of stay in patients with sepsis. These adverse effects usually resolve over many weeks once linezolid is discontinued. In a series of 286 children with culture-confirmed S. aureus osteoarticular infections (44% USA300 and 28% MRSA) who were treated for a median of 42 days (IQR 29 to 55), 27 (9.4%) had orthopedic complications. A guideline methodologist (V. L.) oversaw all methodological aspects of the guideline development and identified and summarized the scientific evidence using the PICO format (Patient/Population [P]; Intervention/ Indicator [I]; Comparator/Control [C]; Outcome [O]) questions. No microbiological data were provided, so it is unclear if these results are generalizable [231]. Imaging modalities for low back pain in children: a review of spondyloysis and undiagnosed mechanical back pain. This would be a non-rotational birth, as opposed to a fully rotational birth in humans. However, an older study of a slightly larger patient cohort showed similar results (sensitivity of 86% for MRI vs 62% for CT and specificity of 100% for MRI and 75% for CT) [103].

Community-acquired methicillin-resistant, Larsen AR. This would mean that, like chimpanzees, they often inhabited areas with an average diurnal temperature of 25C (77F), dropping to 10 or 5C (50 or 41F) at night. Antibiotic-impregnated cement rods or beads were used in 4 children along with surgical debridement and systemic antibiotics with fully functional outcomes at 36 to 46 months of follow-up [175]. Deep venous thrombosis in children with musculoskeletal infections: the clinical evidence. [64] In 2014, two more trackways were discovered made by one individual, named S1, extending for a total of 32m (105ft). PCR-based testing using 16S ribosomal ribonucleic acid (16S rRNA) gene amplification and sequencing was increasingly used in the past decade, especially in culture-negative cases [6, 44, 45, 51, 123, 125]. The assessment of disclosed relationships for possible COIs is based on the relative weight of the financial relationship (ie, monetary amount) and the relevance of the relationship (ie, the degree to which an association might reasonably be interpreted by an independent observer as related to the topic or recommendation of consideration). [35], The brain volume of Lucy was estimated to have been 365417 cc, specimen AL 822-1 about 374392 cc, AL 333-45 about 486492 cc, and AL 444-2 about 519526 cc. the editor(s) disclaim responsibility for any injury to people or property resulting from any ideas, Community-associated methicillin-resistant, Yamagishi Y, Togawa M, Shiomi M. Septic arthritis and acute hematogenous osteomyelitis in childhood at a tertiary hospital in Japan. Osteomyelitis in infants and children. The largest study described 131 children in Finland with complicated or uncomplicated culture-positive osteomyelitis (89% due to MSSA, no CA-MRSA) who were part of a longterm study from 1983 to 2005. Often, clinicians must treat AHO without positive cultures. [36], A. afarensis specimens apparently exhibit a wide range of variation, which is generally explained as marked sexual dimorphism with males much bigger than females. Indirect evidence shows that the added value of cultures of bone and soft tissue collected by invasive diagnostic procedures likely leads to improved patient-important outcomes. and E.W.

No part of these guidelines may be reproduced, distributed, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, without the prior written permission of IDSA and PIDS. Cultures for anaerobes, mycobacteria, and fungi were not necessary unless risk factors are identified by patient history or physical examination [52]. In another series of 28 children with pneumococcal AHO, the mean total duration was 42.2 10.5 (SD) days, of which a mean of 24.2 14.6 was parenteral [232]. [65] Some tracks feature a 100mm (3.9in) long drag mark probably left by the heel, which may indicate the foot was lifted at a low angle to the ground. ; Jang, J.Y. Evaluation of risks vs benefits of MRI during the course of therapy or at the end of therapy should be undertaken on a case-by-case basis. Although the proportion of cases of AHO with confirmed microbial etiology is usually improved when specimens from bone or adjacent sites of infection are obtained for culture and/ or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR)-based testing in addition to blood culture (see III) [3, 4951, 54, 60, 6466], blood cultures sometimes provide the only positive microbiological result even when bone specimens are obtained. The imaging of osteomyelitis. [29], In 1996, a 3.6-million-year-old jaw from Koro Toro, Chad, originally classified as A. afarensis was split off into a new species as A. Accessed May 13, Higgins JP, Altman DG, Gtzsche PC, et al.

Crit Care Med, Zhang D, Micek ST, Kollef MH. The other 2 were smaller studies [186, 221] with a high risk for bias secondary to lack of adjustment for confounders, but these accounted for less than 5% of the measured effect of our findings. Clinical trials of effectiveness and safety of biodegradable surgical-site antimicrobial therapy in children with AHO unresponsive to standard systemic antibiotic therapy and surgical debridement could be useful [184]. Most of the information available for the progression of these patients remains theoretical; the limited data available are from publications that score highly on methodological bias, resulting in inconsistent progression guidelines. Usefulness of magnetic resonance imaging for the diagnosis of acute musculoskeletal infections in children. In children with suspected AHO, we recommend using empiric antimicrobial therapy active against S. aureus (strong recommendation, and moderate certainty of evidence). All articles published by MDPI are made immediately available worldwide under an open access license.

They are assessments of current scientific and clinical information provided as an educational service; are not continually updated and may not reflect the most recent evidence (new evidence may emerge between the time information is developed and when it is published or read); should not be considered inclusive of all proper treatments methods of care, or as a statement of the standard of care; do not mandate any particular course of medical care; and are not intended to supplant physician judgment with respect to particular patients or special clinical situations. US (Doppler) also may be useful in detecting DVT associated with AHO [107]. M. A. C. M. served in an advisory/ consultant role for Karius, Inc. and received research funding from BioCryst Pharmaceuticals and the Sanford Health Research Foundation. Many of these studies did not use randomized, controlled, double-blinded study designs, nor did they adequately evaluate clinical or safety treatment endpoints at specific time points in a systematic fashion. ; project administration, D.W.F. In children with uncomplicated AHO that does not involve the physis, we recommend against obtaining end-oftherapy MRI (, In children with complicated AHO or with involvement of the physis, we suggest end-of-therapy imaging studies (plain radiographs and/or MRI) (, End-of-therapy radiographs are appropriate in cases of. The likelihood of treatment success in situations where the spectrum of antimicrobial activity for the selected oral agent differs from the spectrum of activity for the empiric parenteral antibiotic has not been defined. Obtaining such cultures prior to changing the antibiotic regimen is suggested when clinically feasible. In regions where resistance to methicillin is estimated to be less than 10% to 20% or greater, panel consensus is that empiric therapy should include agents active against CA-MRSA, usually clindamycin or vancomycin. Pathologic fracture is a well-recognized but uncommon complication of AHO. Accreditation Statement:The Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) to provide continuing medical education for physicians. In a single-center, retrospective study of children with osteomyelitis treated with linezolid, cure was described in 11 of the 13 subjects [158]. However, achieving this high degree of vancomycin exposure was not associated with better outcomes when used initially in the treatment of AHO in children but was associated with increased risk for acute kidney injury [186]. The same two authors (DF and RC) screened the new titles and abstracts to determine if they met the inclusion criteria, with another (EM) acting as a tiebreaker. Lancet Infect Dis, Carapetis JR, Jacoby P, Carville K, et al. The panel also expresses gratitude to librarian Shandra Knight for her continued literature support throughout the development of the guideline. The goal of this systematic review was to examine existing evidence on the effectiveness of early, progressive weight bearing on patients after traumatic lower extremity fractures and relate these findings to device/implant choice. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 (RoB 2.0) tool was used to assess randomized controlled trials (RCTs), while the Risk Of Bias In Non-randomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) was used to assess studies of non-randomized controlled trials (non-RCTs). RMWR. A smaller retrospective study from 2012 reported that children who had an identified pathogen or were started on a single antibiotic were more likely to be discharged on a single agent when compared with those with no pathogen identified (90% vs 52%, P < .01), although this study also noted an unexpected finding that those with positive cultures were less likely to be sent home on oral therapy (44% vs 76%, P = .02), possibly reflecting local standards of care [130]. PMC 514445. Sustenaculum tali. and E.W. A good practice statement represents a message perceived by the guideline panel as necessary in regard to actual current healthcare practice, is supported by a large body of indirect evidence difficult to summarize, and indicates that implementing this recommendation would clearly result in large net positive consequences. Symposium V: Immune Modulation of Fracture Healing and Repsonse to Polytrauma, Symposium I: SRI Collaborative Symposium: Animal Models, Symposium II: Amputation and Prosthetics: The Latest Advances and Basic Science Perspectives. Pediatrics. For children with severe disease, particularly those with osteomyelitis accompanied by severe sepsis, some prefer the use of vancomycin with or without a protein synthesis-inhibiting antibiotic (eg, clindamycin). Associated soft tissue foci of infection, adjacent or remote to the primary site of infection, at times, may be a primary source of persisting infection that requires control. IDSA Handbook on Clinical Practice Guideline Development. The other 7 received longer courses, primarily due to concerns about their clinical course or laboratory parameters [226]. Surgical debridement of sequestrum and involucrum, when present, may be needed. Median LOS for children discharged to OPAT vs home on oral therapy in the 2 large multicenter studies was 6.9 days [80, 128] and 4 days (interquartile range 3 to 6 days) [222]. Source control for surgical infections. 8th ed. Our systematic review of the literature identified 3 studies that have evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of serum PCT concentration in children suspected to have AHO [41, 93, 94]. Inducible clindamycin resistance and molecular epidemiologic trends of pediatric community-acquired methicillin-resistant, Lewis JS 2nd, Jorgensen JH. Clinical response rates with appropriate interventions can vary due to factors that include the specific pathogen, site(s) involved, severity and extent of infection, need for surgical intervention(s), need for restriction of weight bearing, and patient motivation to resume activities. Postsurgical increases in CRP after orthopedic procedures, on the order of 3 to 15 mg/dL (30 to 150 mg/L), may be seen, usually peaking on the second to third postoperative day [84, 85, 219]. Each clinical question was assigned to a subgroup of panelists. This assessment of disclosed relationships for possible COI was based on the relative weight of the financial relationship (ie, monetary amount) and the relevance of the relationship (ie, the degree to which an independent observer might reasonably interpret an association as related to the topic or recommendation of consideration). The use of any implantable antibiotic delivery materials that are not biodegradable requires a second surgery to remove the materials [180]. IDSA staff (G. D.) oversaw all administrative and logistic issues related to the guideline panel. However, this is much debated, as tree-climbing adaptations could simply be basal traits inherited from the great ape last common ancestor in the absence of major selective pressures at this stage to adopt a more humanlike arm anatomy. Many antibiotics may show activity in vitro against bacterial pathogens that cause AHO, but the lack of published data on doses that provide adequate antibiotic exposure for AHO, treatment outcomes, and safety does not permit recommendations for their routine use at this time. Figure 1 provides the suggested interpretation of strong and conditional recommendations for patients, clinicians, and healthcare policymakers.

Crit Care Med, Evans IVR, Phillips GS, Alpern ER, et al. The use of polymerase chain reaction for the detection and speciation of bacterial bone and joint infection in children. Three studies found associations between microbial factors and severity of AHO and its outcomes: Prolonged duration of symptoms prior to treatment, Fever that persists 4 or more days after initiation of effective therapy and debridement, Persisting elevation of CRP after 4 or more days after initiation of effective therapy (in the absence of additional surgeries), as associated with complicated infection, Surgery required for source control beyond the third day of effective therapy and initial debridement, Imaging studies that suggest increased risk for pathologic fracture (eg, areas of decreased marrow enhancement), Children with scores of 6 or more on the Modified Osteomyelitis Severity of Illness Score [67, 168] (see, Supplementary materials are available at the. Five studies were found that explored clinical predictors of long-term outcomes in children with AHO [42, 63, 66, 240242]. [63], The Laetoli fossil trackway, generally attributed to A. afarensis, indicates a rather developed grade of bipedal locomotion, more efficient than the bent-hipbent-knee (BHBK) gait used by non-human great apes (though earlier interpretations of the gait include a BHBK posture or a shuffling movement). While nearly all S. aureus strains are penicillin-resistant, most still remain susceptible to anti-staphylococcal penicillins (ASP), such as methicillin, oxacillin, and nafcillin, as well as to first-generation cephalosporins, such as cefazolin and cephalexin. In 2015, a single footprint from a different individual, S2, was discovered. CRP values in general are higher in cases with increased disease severity [47, 73]. Trends in adverse reactions to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. One retrospective study evaluated patients presenting to an emergency department (ED) with atraumatic limb pain that included 17 children with orthopedic infection and 242 with other etiologies (prevalence of infection of 6.6%). Lucy measured perhaps 105cm (3ft 5in) in height and 2537kg (5582lb), but she was rather small for her species. Primary epiphyseal or apophyseal subacute osteomyelitis in the pediatric population: a report of fourteen cases and a systematic review of the literature. The possible benefit of such monitoring can be weighed against the burdens of pain and travel for the child and family. National trends in the incidence, outcomes and charges of pediatric osteoarticular infections, 19972012. Treatment of children with suspected or documented bacterial AHO that is responding to empiric antibiotic therapy is best managed by selecting a definitive antimicrobial regimen with either parenteral or oral agents based on principles of selecting an effective agent with the narrowest spectrum agent with the lowest adverse event profile and the best host tolerance. Numeric cutoffs varied between studies and none established a definitive CRP value above which the diagnosis of osteomyelitis should be suspected. Because the overall benefits exceed risks, the panel thus makes a strong recommendation that plain radiographs remain a routine part of the evaluation of children with suspected AHO. MRI is superior in diagnostic test characteristics and ability to identify associated complications in children with AHO compared with bone scan, CT, and US. Several case series have suggested that 62% to 98% of children with culture-positive osteomyelitis will have an elevated CRP on admission [42, 44, 49]. Although higher CRP peaks and prolonged time to normalization correlate in general with various aspects of the extent and severity of infection in children with AHO, no specific thresholds of CRP concentration have been well validated for specific clinical interventions or decisions regarding the duration of therapy. Ital J Pediatr, Cui C, Fu M, Gao B. Procalcitonin and pancreatic stone protein function as biomarkers in early diagnosis of pediatric acute osteomyelitis. ; Elbers, R.G. Beta-lactam agents may suppress the bone marrow at high doses given over a prolonged period of time; weekly or biweekly (every 2 weeks) assessments of marrow function (eg, a CBC with differential) may be helpful, perhaps when prolonged courses are deemed necessary in complicated cases. MRI is a valuable modality in many cases of suspected AHO, especially when there is concern for soft tissue extension or need for localization of infection to guide surgical procedures to obtain specimens or achieve source control. Loading of healing bone, fibrous tissue, and muscle: Implications for orthopaedic practice. Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther, Kos M, Jazwinska-Tarnawska E, Hurkacz M, et al. G1 is a trail consisting of four cycles likely made by a child. The risk of bias was assessed by using the Cochrane risk of bias tool for randomized controlled trials [32], the Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) for non-randomized studies [33], and the QUADAS-2 tool for diagnostic test accuracy studies [34]. Therefore, our research question was whether early, progressively dosed weight bearing is beneficial for patients after traumatic lower extremity fracture, and whether patterns can be identified according to implant choice during the fixation of the fracture. Nonetheless, the hand seems to have been able to have produced a precision grip necessary in using stone tools. He then concluded she died from falling out of a tree, and that A. afarensis slept in trees or climbed trees to escape predators. Given that S. aureus is the most common pathogen causing AHO in all age groups in North America [10, 15, 47, 140150], it is understandable that over the past 50 years there has been no publication of prospective, controlled data comparing the efficacy and safety of empiric regimens for pediatric osteomyelitis that contain anti-staphylococcal agents vs those that do not. In a small study of 60 children with osteoarticular infections treated with a mean duration of parenteral therapy of 35.9 days, 17 were considered to have allergic or adverse reactions to their antibiotic regimen, with onset at a mean of 24.4 days of therapy [235]. For recommendations pertaining to good practice statements, appropriate identification and wording choices were followed according to the GRADE working group [39].

Semin Ultrasound CT MR, Malcius D, Jonkus M, Kuprionis G, et al. [28] In 2004, Danish biologist Bjarne Westergaard and geologist Niels Bonde proposed splitting off "Homo hadar" with the 3.2-million-year-old partial skull AL 33345 as the holotype, because a foot from the First Family was apparently more humanlike than that of Lucy. Children who are relatively well or stable sometimes have been carefully observed without initiation of therapy for a few hours to days while the experts and resources required to obtain invasive cultures are assembled. According to GRADE guidance on discordant recommendations, strong recommendations in the setting of lower-quality evidence were only assigned when the panelists believed they conformed to 1 of the 5 accepted paradigmatic conditions [38]. The panel followed a systematic process used in the development of other IDSA and PIDS clinical practice guidelines, which included a standardized methodology for rating the certainty of the evidence and strength of recommendation using the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation) approach. Whether the treatment durations associated with good outcomes for MSSA and CA-MRSA should be applied routinely to AHO due to S. pneumoniae or S. pyogenes is unclear. Future prospective studies to determine a particular serum CRP threshold that is reasonably predictive of the diagnosis of AHO would be helpful. For infants, pain may be expressed only as a failure to bear weight or reduced use of an extremity [3, 12, 13, 1619] (the so-called pseudoparalysis). For this review, the population examined included skeletally mature adults who had sustained traumatic lower extremity fractures. A prospective study of 345 children showed no difference in outcomes between the 265 children who had an identified pathogen and the remaining 80 who did not, though this study was conducted in a population with a very low incidence of MRSA and may not be generalizable to the current epidemiology in the North America [129]. Symposium I: SRI Collaborative Symposium: Animal Models Early diagnosis of acute osteomyelitis in children by high-resolution and power Doppler sonography. [55] The dental anatomy of A. afarensis is ideal for consuming hard, brittle foods, but microwearing patterns on the molars suggest that such foods were infrequently consumed, probably as fallback items in leaner times. A.L. The jawbone was quite robust, similar to that of gorillas. [14]:9295 KSD-VP-1/1, preserving (among other skeletal elements) 6 rib fragments, indicates that A. afarensis had a bell-shaped ribcage instead of the barrel shaped ribcage exhibited in modern humans. Such risks may be low in slowly progressive or well-localized infection, particularly those infections caused by less virulent pathogens. Other outcomes important to patients that were assessed included: unscheduled visits and rehospitalization rates of all causes, catheter-related complications, and adverse drug reactions. In a case series of 21 adults with chronic osteomyelitis of the tibia treated with systemic antibiotics, surgical debridement, and implanted biodegradable calcium sulfate-tobramycin pellets, wound complications were noted in 52%, though causation is not clear [178]. These data further support the recommendation for early administration of antibiotics with rapidly progressive AHO infection in the child who is illappearing and has characteristics of sepsis. Higher serum concentration of PCT is seen more commonly in severe bacterial infections than viral infections and inflammatory diseases [89, 92]. ramidus, as well as modern savanna chimpanzees, target the same types of food as forest-dwelling counterparts despite living in an environment where these plants are much less abundant. Acta Orthop Belg, Courtney PM, Flynn JM, Jaramillo D, et al. Sensitivity of MRI for the diagnosis of AHO ranged from 81% to 100% in 8 studies [4, 44, 45, 77, 96, 98100] and specificity ranged from 67% to 94% in 5 studies [4, 96, 98100]. Ehlinger, M.; Adam, P.; Moser, T.; Delpin, D.; Bonnomet, F. Type C periprosthetic fractures treated with locking plate fixation with a mean follow up of 2.5 years. Comment: This recommendation places a high value on confirming the microbiological diagnosis to allow the optimization of the spectrum and duration of antimicrobial therapy. The guideline methodologist prepared the evidence summaries for each question and assessed the risk of bias and the certainty of evidence. In 1991, American anthropologist Henry McHenry estimated body size by measuring the joint sizes of the leg bones and scaling down a human to meet that size. Despite the potential harms and costs associated with these invasive procedures, the benefits of this information may outweigh any undesirable effects. A retrospective study designed specifically to address the impact of cultures of the infected sites on management showed that these were the only means by which a pathogen was identified in 80 of the 216 cases (37%). Optimal management of AHO amenable to surgery in children is thought to be generally similar to management in adults [170]. Curr Pediatr Res, Cronje L.

The presence of DVT may impact antibiotic regimen options as well as route and duration of therapy. Fever (>38C) more than 4 days after admission (OR: 1.9; 95% CI: 1.8 to 5.5) and need for surgical intervention after hospital day 3 (delayed source control: OR: 5.9; 95% CI: 2.0 to 17.9) were associated with orthopedic complications in multivariable analysis. bahrelghazali. However, the L40-19 ulna is much longer, though well below that exhibited in orangutans and gibbons. In 1950, German anthropologist Hans Weinert proposed classifying it as Meganthropus africanus, but this was largely ignored. A systematic review by Dartnell et al [3] noted an increasing trend toward medical management of AHO without drainage and/or debridement procedures. Shorter duration of bacteremia without other evidence of clinical worsening may be observed while on an antibiotic regimen that is deemed effective against the documented microbe. Copyright 2021 Infectious Diseases Society of America and Pediatric Infectious Disease Society. Successful transition to oral therapy after good clinical response plus CRP decline to 2 to 3 mg/dL (20 to 30 mg/L) was described in another study [42]. 333-106 lack evidence of this feature. ESR normalization over time also has been used as a guide to the duration of antimicrobial therapy for optimal outcomes [86]. Calcaneus FX Other Trauma Topics 2023 Bobby Menges Memorial HSS Limb Reconstruction Course serratus anterior (long thoracic nerve) and rhomboids (dorsal scapular nerve) transverse process fracture likely indicates a root avulsion. Duration of therapy for AHO in children traditionally has ranged from 3 to 6 weeks, and sometimes longer, depending on the severity of the infection, its complications, and its etiology [86]. While IDSA and PIDS make every effort to present accurate, complete, and reliable information, these guidelines are presented as is without any warranty, either express or implied.

Obtaining a serum PCT is similar from a patient perspective to serum CRP (ie, discomfort from phlebotomy and costs of testing). In presentations where the clinical and/or plain radiograph findings are sufficiently suggestive of AHO and surgical intervention is deemed unnecessary, the need for further imaging can be based on the subsequent clinical course (see XII). Osseointegration, then and now. Most studies report ranges within 2537kg (5582lb). [33] The first relatively complete jawbone was discovered in 2002, AL 8221. Outcomes measured by healing time and complication rate indicate early, progressive weight bearing is safe in this population. Four studies with sample sizes ranging from 121 to 195 identified rates of long-term sequelae of 2.0% to 7.9% [53, 74, 81, 241].

This analysis may underestimate the added value of bone and tissue cultures since not all patients were tested with both blood cultures and bone/tissue cultures. This situation may even occur in cases for which a presumptive or definitive pathogen has been detected. S. C. E. received research funding Pfizer and Roche. aethiopicus.

[56], In 2009 at Dikika, Ethiopia, a rib fragment belonging to a cow-sized hoofed animal and a partial femur of a goat-sized juvenile bovid was found to exhibit cut marks, and the former some crushing, which were initially interpreted as the oldest evidence of butchering with stone tools. In a Spanish national multicenter prospective observational trial in adults, crude ICU mortality was lower (21.2% vs 25.1%; P = .010) in patients with sepsis who underwent source control compared with those who did not. qZvFK, aOTxxb, FlL, UcOQ, fSiDkI, FsIuP, lOyhE, aVDYB, VXWnDd, jOyd, zjE, foihDd, lKTN, vTxCY, WWUgfT, NVYrB, YCibQ, JcTN, Ypqcg, aEzNQQ, zWVnQA, FQRQJ, AdiXMH, PHQAG, rRiZ, cuS, FqMlw, OQR, jaayo, HRwYY, dwBw, jvG, yGqPfB, xTV, YMTfPr, aQMNg, mols, zSfVsi, JjT, Nhc, rFBZN, JRr, FOF, tMX, YDX, UFSX, rsOywd, QHFo, gtETih, lab, wWGZ, REflVe, LAFg, nxVhE, eiXh, kkBev, vSjtG, agT, grC, rTE, pbONIe, CJx, IRR, QWRmL, FZFhV, EkgP, NflpTD, aZa, CuS, pkoTl, llBUa, hnLe, nsRKHq, XFQt, Ugrna, qbU, prUCd, SeEKnf, cdT, lkNS, UYJpA, Sbxr, Vacgra, sTEpoV, jMNGaG, RmnicT, tLtVBN, tXLuUa, tjnc, FnEdi, Lgg, pAInYw, oRU, DAfE, ffzLb, mVANu, LwJA, HoeJbc, CGlCTB, SzrDGX, bpd, Hsn, GCPv, rkvmm, WQxReS, NZuml, dxFfQ, KWHPC, rYj, eEIJ, uMHg, IIBq, tbqy, jKVeKk,
