Does Tourniquet Use Impact Early Patient Outcomes in Total Knee Arthroplasty?

Introduction Tourniquets are commonly used when performing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) to reduce intra-operative blood loss, improve surgical field visibility, and potentially improve cement penetration during prosthesis implantation. However, they may be associated with increased thigh pain, postoperative opiate use, and longer lengths of hospital stay. Methods Retrospectively collected data was obtained from our institution's electronic patient records and database.

Enhancing CT examination efficiency with ChatGPT-4o for multilingual Hajj pilgrims: A short communication.

Introduction/background: The annual Hajj pilgrimage brings millions of Muslims from diverse linguistic backgrounds to Makkah, Saudi Arabia. This poses significant communication challenges in medical settings, particularly during complex procedures like computed tomography (CT) examinations. In 2024, a tertiary care hospital integrated ChatGPT-4o real-time translation technology to address these challenges.

Switch-like Gene Expression Modulates Disease Susceptibility.

A fundamental challenge in biomedicine is understanding the mechanisms predisposing individuals to disease. While previous research has suggested that switch-like gene expression is crucial in driving biological variation and disease susceptibility, a systematic analysis across multiple tissues is still lacking. By analyzing transcriptomes from 943 individuals across 27 tissues, we identified 1,013 switch-like genes.
