Treatment Effectiveness of Volar Plates in Distal Radius Dorsal Rim Fractures.
Rev Bras Ortop (Sao Paulo)
December 2024
To assess the efficacy of distal radius volar plates in cases involving dorsal fragments at the Ulnar Corner (UC) and Lister Tubercle (LT). A retrospective study that included patients with distal radius fractures (DRFs) featuring UC and LT dorsal fragments treated with volar plates. The exclusion criteria comprised lunate facet fractures, UC fragment ratio below 25%, and patients treated with dorsal plates.

- Cancer poses a major public health challenge, with lung and colon cancers making up over 25% of cases; this study focuses on improving detection rates for these cancers.
- An automated diagnosis system is designed using a 2D Gaussian filter for image pre-processing and employs three CNN models—MobileNet, VGG16, and ResNet50—to classify five cancer types from a dataset of 25,000 images.
- The system demonstrates a remarkable diagnostic accuracy of 99.38%, highlighting its potential for early detection, which could lead to timely treatment and better patient outcomes.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates how collateral vessels, which develop from arterioles due to arterial issues, may provide a natural bypass to improve walking performance in patients with peripheral arterial disease after treatments like balloon angioplasty.
- - It analyzed medical data from 824 patients undergoing endovascular treatments for femoropopliteal chronic total occlusion, ultimately focusing on 410 limbs and looking at the relationship between collateral vessels and vessel dissection severity.
- - Results indicate that severe dissections were more common with specific lesion types, longer occlusions, and certain characteristics of collateral vessels, suggesting that these factors could help predict complications following treatment.
Article Synopsis
- The International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) creates and studies mouse lines with specific gene mutations to better understand gene functions, using advanced techniques such as the Cas9 nuclease for enhanced efficiency.
- The IMPC has produced 3313 knockout mouse lines, allowing for a comprehensive analysis of factors that influence successful gene editing in living organisms.
- The research highlights that the essentiality of genes significantly affects the success rates in producing null alleles, and offers best practice guidelines for using Cas9 in gene engineering linked to human diseases.
