Anatomic Distal Biceps Tendon Repair With All-Suture Cortical Buttons.

Acute, traumatic distal biceps tendon ruptures are a common injury in the middle-aged athletic male population, with direct anatomic surgical repair being the most effective technique to restore maximal strength. Multiple techniques for distal biceps tendon repair have been described, including single- or dual-incision approaches and tendon fixation with cortical buttons, interference screws, suture anchors, and transosseous sutures. In this Technical Note, we demonstrate an anatomic distal biceps tendon repair technique with a single-incision approach using 2 all-suture cortical buttons.

Arthroscopy-Assisted Core Decompression and Bone Grafting for Avascular Necrosis of the Hip.

Although specific techniques vary, core decompression is generally accepted as the treatment of choice for precollapse avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip to delay or prevent progression of the disease. This can be combined with hip arthroscopy to allow visual assessment of the femoral head as well as treatment of intra-articular pathologies, which may contribute to pain and joint degeneration. We describe a technique of hip arthroscopy and concurrent core decompression using an expandable reamer and bone grafting for treatment of hip AVN.

Towards Context-Rich Automated Biodiversity Assessments: Deriving AI-Powered Insights from Camera Trap Data.

Camera traps offer enormous new opportunities in ecological studies, but current automated image analysis methods often lack the contextual richness needed to support impactful conservation outcomes. Integrating vision-language models into these workflows could address this gap by providing enhanced contextual understanding and enabling advanced queries across temporal and spatial dimensions. Here, we present an integrated approach that combines deep learning-based vision and language models to improve ecological reporting using data from camera traps.

Experiences and barriers with home bladder manometry in the pediatric neurogenic bladder population: A qualitative study.

Background: Patients with neurogenic bladder are at risk of developing renal deterioration secondary to increased intravesical pressures. To date, urodynamics is the gold standard test to properly assess bladder dynamics. Home bladder manometry is a low-cost and simple method to evaluate bladder pressures and volumes during clean intermittent catheterization (CIC).

Disorders of secondary peristalsis are associated with the development of esophagitis.

Background: Disorders of primary peristalsis are associated with a higher percent time pH <4 in the esophagus suggesting poor acid clearance. However, there are no studies of secondary peristalsis and its relationship to microscopic or erosive esophagitis. The goal of this study was to determine the relationship between secondary peristalsis using functional luminal imaging probes (EndoFLIP) and the presence or absence of esophagitis.
