A machine learning approach to automate microinfarct and microhemorrhage screening in hematoxylin and eosin-stained human brain tissues.

Microinfarcts and microhemorrhages are characteristic lesions of cerebrovascular disease. Although multiple studies have been published, there is no one universal standard criteria for the neuropathological assessment of cerebrovascular disease. In this study, we propose a novel application of machine learning in the automated screening of microinfarcts and microhemorrhages.

Non-pharmacological Methods of Deep Vein Thrombosis Prophylaxis in Orthopaedic Wards.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a dreaded post-operative complication for surgeons and warrants prophylactic measures. The risk of DVT is significantly higher in almost any and all major surgery. The common prophylactic measures are pharmacological methods like subcutaneous low-molecular-weight heparin and oral anticoagulants.

An Unusual Case of Esophageal Perforation Following C5-C7 Anterior Cervical Corpectomy and Fusion Managed Surgically With Esophageal Repair and Long-Segment Cervical Fusion.

Anterior cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is frequently the surgical management for myelopathy, radiculopathy, and cervical spine trauma. Although esophageal perforation is an uncommon complication, it remains a serious concern. This report details the case of a 50-year-old female who underwent a C6 corpectomy with C5-C7 ACCF due to degenerative pathology and subsequently developed an esophageal perforation that required revision surgery and surgical repair of the perforated esophagus.

Dr. John H. Charnley: An Architect and Pioneer of the Modern Era of Hip Replacement Surgery.

Dr. John H. Charnley (1924-1982) revolutionized orthopedic surgery with his groundbreaking innovations in hip replacement with exceptional skill and a holistic thought process, which has had an impact to this day in the world of arthroplasty.

A Rare Case of a Bilateral Olecranon Fracture in a Young Adult With a Two-Year Follow-Up.

Olecranon fractures are common in orthopedic wards and can be traumatic or pathological in origin. There are very few cases of bilateral olecranon fractures without any associated injuries to the long bones in the literature. We present a unique case of a young 21-year-old male who has an isolated bilateral olecranon fracture following a road traffic accident.

Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty With a Calcar Stem for the Management of a Failed Proximal Femoral Nail Anti-rotation Asia (PFNA2) in a Case of Geriatric Unstable Intertrochanteric Femur Fracture.

Intertrochanteric (IT) femur fractures in the elderly population comprise a major part of geriatric trauma and fractures. There are various modalities of surgical management, ranging from intramedullary fixation and extramedullary fixation to even replacing the hip joint. Apart from the surgeon's choice, other factors, such as geriatric age, bone quality and osteoporosis, medical comorbidities, life expectancy, pre-operative ambulatory status, muscle strength, type and pattern of fracture, and mental health of the patient, play vital roles in determining the ideal modality of management and the long-term outcome.

Cemented Bipolar Hemiarthroplasty as a Treatment Modality for Pathological Fracture in the Proximal Femur Metastasis Without the Recurrence of Primary Breast Cancer: A Case Report.

Metastatic lesions in the proximal femur are well-known in the literature and are important since they can progress to pathological fractures and impair the patient's mobility. We present the case of a middle-aged female with a history of breast carcinoma 20 years ago, who experienced diffuse chronic hip pain for the past two months. Radiographs, MRI, and PET scans revealed a metastatic lesion in her proximal femur.
