This technical note aims to provide a detailed description of our arthroscopic technique for suture fixation of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) tibial avulsion fractures. Various surgical approaches have been described, including both open and arthroscopic techniques. The arthroscopic approach can be less disruptive and more accurate in visualizing anatomic landmarks.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how impulse control and exercise tolerance influence effort during painful experiences, specifically under stress.
  • Thirty-six participants were tested using the cold pressor test, measuring their heart rate variability and emotional states before and after the task.
  • Results showed that individuals with higher exercise tolerance could endure discomfort longer and felt more dominant initially, while both groups experienced similar emotional boosts after completing the task, highlighting the nuanced connection between physical tolerance and psychological responses.

This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the 10-minute submaximal treadmill test (T10 test), a self-paced test, in determining critical speed (CS) and predicting running performance. Specifically, we sought to identify the percentage of T10 velocity (vT10) that runners performed in official distance races, and to compare physiological and performance indicators between sexes. 60 recreational runners (n=34 males and n=26 females) underwent a maximum incremental test, the novel T10 test, and ran 1200-m and 2400-m on the track.

Article Synopsis
  • Very high-power short-duration (vHPSD) radiofrequency ablation for pulmonary vein isolation shows reduced ablation times and better patient tolerance compared to traditional methods.
  • In a study of 58 patients undergoing vHPSD, results indicated significantly shorter procedural and RF times, along with reduced need for anesthetic drugs compared to a control group.
  • The vHPSD method allowed for effective PV isolation under mild conscious sedation, with a notably lower pain experience reported by patients.
