Disturbed atrial metabolism, shear stress, and cardiac load contribute to atrial fibrillation after ablation: AXAFA biomolecule study.

Aims: Different disease processes can combine to cause atrial fibrillation (AF). Their contribution to recurrent AF after ablation in patients is not known. Cardiovascular processes associated with recurrent AF after AF ablation were determined by quantifying biomolecules related to inflammation, metabolism, proliferation, fibrosis, shear stress, atrial pressure, and others in the AXAFA biomolecule study.

Developing an International Framework for Informed Consent in Plastic Surgery: A Focus on Cosmetic Breast Augmentation.

Background: Informed consent is a fundamental pillar of patient rights and is an essential part of good clinical practice. In 2019, the International Confederation of Plastic Surgery Societies launched a survey to collect feedback on informed consent practices, with an aim to develop an international guideline for cosmetic surgery.

Methods: A 15-question survey was sent to delegates of the International Confederation of Plastic Surgery Societies for dissemination to their national society members.

Results of Ilizarov external fixator lengthening compared to lengthening and then plating in management of femoral shortening in children.

Femoral shortening in children is a challenging condition with complex functional and psychological implications. We study the results of Ilizarov external fixator (IEF) lengthening compared to lengthening and then plating (LAP) in the management of femoral shortening in children. Forty patients were included in the study and equally divided randomly into 2 groups, in group I LAP was used and in group II lengthening by IEF only was done.

A modified angled plate for fixation of proximal femoral varus osteotomy in neuromuscular hip dislocation: Mechanical and clinical study.

Introduction: Proximal femoral osteotomy is an important step in the management of paralytic hip dislocation. Fixation by the angled plate is demanding and carries the risk of many complications. In this study, we made certain modifications for the angled plate.
