Symmetrical peripheral gangrene (SPG) is a destructive clinical condition where amputation is often the final treatment option. We aimed to identify the predictors of SPG using the common data model (CDM) and propose a new scoring system for predicting hospitalized patients at risk of developing SPG. A cohort of patients treated with intravenous noradrenaline, epinephrine, and vasopressin between 2011 and 2020 was retrospectively analyzed using the CDM database.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigated the use of deep learning techniques to assess the severity of cervical spinal cord injuries (SCI) from MRI scans, addressing limitations in the standard assessment method (ASIA Impairment Scale).
  • Patients with cervical SCI from 2019 to 2022 had their MRI images labeled by physicians, and a deep convolutional neural network was trained for image segmentation and classification.
  • The model demonstrated high accuracy, achieving impressive Dice and IoU scores for spinal cord segmentation and a decent F1 score for classification, indicating potential for more advanced predictive models in future research.

The human hand is a specialised organ for fine motion and sensation and has a relatively large representation in the homunculus. The pathway of sensation starts from information sent by mechanoreceptors in the hand. This study reports the topography of the Pacinian corpuscle in the fingertips of a human cadaver.

We aimed to report the clinical results of volar plate removal without carpal tunnel release in patients with late-onset median neuropathy and to evaluate the relationship between plate position and median nerve symptoms. Part I. Twelve consecutive patients with late-onset median neuropathy treated with volar plate removal without carpal tunnel release were enrolled for analysis.
