Objectives: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of a polyaxial locking plate utilizing locking-cap fixation for treatment of patients with displaced olecranon fractures.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed for all consecutive patients at two institutions with displaced olecranon fractures treated with a polyaxial locking plate. Patients were required to have at least 1-year follow up.
The Golden Syrian hamster is a well-characterized rodent model for severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2)-associated pneumonia. We sought to characterize the pulmonary disease course during SARS-CoV-2 infection (strain USA-WA1/2020) in the hamster model using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and compare radiologic observations with histopathologic findings. We observed a range of radiologic abnormalities, including ground glass opacities (GGOs), consolidations, air bronchograms, and pneumomediastinum.

This study is the first prospective evaluation of neuropsychological outcomes associated with stereo-EEG-guided RFTHC in patients with focal drug-resistant epilepsy.
Methods: This cohort study involved prospective recruitment of consecutive patients undergoing stereo-EEG from 2 Australian centers.
Article Synopsis
- * A total of 2.1% of patients (n=138) experienced dislocations, primarily within the first 90 days post-surgery, with different treatment approaches for dislocation including closed reduction, open reduction, revision arthroplasty, or benign neglect.
- * Among those treated with closed reduction, only 31% were successfully resolved without further intervention, while many either required revision surgery or experienced recurrent dislocations, highlighting the complexity of managing these postoperative complications.
Background: Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) is a procedure used to localize the epileptogenic zone in patients with medically refractory epilepsy, involving the stereotactic implantation of electrodes into brain parenchyma. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Digital Subtraction Angiography, and Computed Tomography have been used preoperatively to prevent Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) by identifying electrode-vessel conflicts (EVC's) on planned electrode trajectories. There is variation in the use of Digital Subtraction Angiography and non-invasive sequences for vascular planning.
