Objective: We aimed to predict the risk of hypotension due to spinal anesthesia (HSA) by measuring the diameter and area of the inferior vena cava (IVC-D, IVC-A) through ultrasound and pleth variability index (PVI) in patients who underwent endovenous radiofrequency ablation under spinal anesthesia (SA).
Methods: This cross-sectional, observational, and prospective study was completed with 64 patients. Before SA, PVI IVC-D, and IVC-A were measured.
Article Synopsis
- Distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability is a common issue after injuries, causing chronic pain and limited function, and current single suture button treatments are often inadequate.
- This study tested whether a double suture button technique could offer better stability than single constructs for DRUJ instability using cadaver models.
- Results showed the double suture button significantly reduced movement and restored stability across various positions, outperforming the single construct methods.*
Article Synopsis
- * A 33-year-old woman with respiratory issues and abdominal pain was initially thought to have malignant pleural effusion; imaging studies suggested potential nasopharyngeal cancer before TB was confirmed through biopsies.
- * The use of positron emission tomography (PET/CT) was vital in identifying the extent of TB involvement, highlighting the importance of considering nasopharyngeal TB when assessing related symptoms.
Background: Rotator cuff tears commonly cause shoulder pain and functional impairment, prompting surgical intervention such as miniopen and arthroscopic methods, each with distinct benefits. This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and complications of these two approaches.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 165 patients who underwent rotator cuff repair using either arthroscopic-assisted mini-open or full arthroscopic approaches.
Background Distal radius fractures are common fractures. Treatment of intra-articular fractures is controversial, with treatment modalities including closed reduction and casting, open reduction and plating, and closed reduction and fixation with an external fixator. In this study, we compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of our patients treated with three different methods for intra-articular distal radius fractures.
