Article Synopsis
- The glenoid labrum is a crucial structure in the shoulder joint, and SLAP lesions, which affect its superior part, are common among athletes and laborers.
- The diagnostic reliability of arthroscopy for SLAP tears has been found to be inconsistent, and magnetic resonance arthrography (MRa) is being explored as a less invasive alternative, albeit with uncertain reliability.
- A study involving orthopedic surgeons and radiologists to classify SLAP lesions via MRa showed poor overall inter-rater reliability and mixed results, with radiologists demonstrating better agreement than orthopedic surgeons.
Death by neurologic criteria (DNC) or brain death is a clinical diagnosis. It is often complicated by variations in policies as well as confounders on examination. We discuss here the case of a 27-year-old male who had a cardiac arrest following toxic gaseous exposure.

Current clinical knowledge is mainly based on small single-center cohorts. The goal of this study was to evaluate the predictability of risk factors for complications after the treatment of a PHF in a large clinical cohort in a multicentric setting.

We aimed to describe the ESS milieu in coronaries with MBs combining coronary computed tomography angiography with computational fluid dynamics and to investigate the association of atherosclerosis presence proximal to MBs with hemorheological characteristics. Patients ( = 36) were identified and 36 arteries with MBs (11 deep and 25 superficial) were analyzed.

So far, few studies describe this phenomenon of rate-induced tipping, while it is important to understand this phenomenon in the light of the ongoing rapid environmental change. Here, we demonstrate rate-induced tipping in a simple model of cyanobacteria with realistic parameter settings.
