Background: The realities of midshaft clavicle fracture distribution have not been described accurately. Consequently, a topographical depiction of midshaft clavicle fractures may help design implants that are more anatomically concordant with the fractured clavicle, leading to better outcomes and fewer complications.
Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study.
Aims: The mortality rate for -COVID-19 infection varies significantly depending on age and comorbidities but remains high in hospitalized patients overall. Several retrospective studies have identified patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) to be at increased risk. The objective of this study was to study in-hospital outcomes of ESKD patients at an academic medical center and identify characteristics that place them at a higher risk for in-hospital mortality.

- The meta-analysis evaluated the functional and clinical outcomes of monopolar vs. bipolar radial head implants in patients, analyzing data from 33 studies with a total of 809 patients.
- Average performance scores, disability ratings, and flexion/extension arcs were similar between the two implant types, indicating no significant difference in outcomes.
- Although bipolar implants showed slightly higher revision and complication rates, these differences were not statistically significant, suggesting implant polarity may not impact functional results.
Introduction: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown remarkable success treating neurological and psychiatric disorders including Parkinson's disease, essential tremor, dystonia, epilepsy, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. DBS is now being explored to improve cognitive and functional outcomes in other psychiatric conditions, such as those characterized by reduced N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) function (i.e.

We record and characterize the hemodynamic responses of the spinal cord to a neuromodulatory intervention commonly used for treating pain and increasingly used for the restoration of sensorimotor and autonomic function. We found that the hemodynamic response to stimulation reflects a spatiotemporal modulation of the spinal cord circuitry not previously recognized.
