Thyroid surgery under nerve auto-fluorescence & artificial intelligence tissue identification software guidance.

Thyroid cancer is a common malignancy that requires comprehensive clinical evaluation prior to adequate surgical management. Over the last three decades thyroid surgery has tripled and is considered one of the most commonly performed procedures in general surgery. These procedures are associated with potential postoperative complications with significant deterioration in the patient's quality of life.

Biomechanical Evaluation of Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Grafts Fixed at Nonanatomic Femoral Insertion Points: MPFL Reconstruction And Femoral Tunnel Location.

Background: Improved patient outcomes and decreased patellar instability have been reported after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for recurrent lateral patellar dislocation; however, there is a lack of comparative evidence on functional outcomes associated with different femoral attachment sites for the MPFL graft.

Purpose: To identify differences in MPFL reconstruction graft isometry with femoral tunnel malpositioning, specifically evaluating isometric differences as the femoral position is moved anterior, posterior, proximal, and distal relative to the Schöttle point, the femoral radiographic landmark of the MPFL.

Study Design: Descriptive laboratory study.

Time-sensitive injuries for the sports medicine surgeon - "Sports Medicine Trauma", Part 1: Upper Extremity.

Skeletal fractures are traumatic injuries that are widely accepted as requiring acute treatment to avoid long-term disability and dysfunction. There are a number of soft-tissue injuries or non-traditional fractures, frequently treated by sports medicine surgeons, which additionally require treatment in an expedited fashion in order to optimize healing and function. Sports medicine injuries of the lower extremity requiring acute treatment include, but are not limited to, irreducible shoulder dislocations, acute traumatic rotator cuff tears, posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocations, high grade acromioclavicular joint dislocations, pectoralis major tendon ruptures, distal biceps tendon ruptures, and triceps tendon ruptures.

Time-Sensitive Injuries for the Sports Medicine Surgeon - "Sports Medicine Trauma", Part 2: Lower Extremity.

Skeletal fractures are traumatic injuries that are widely accepted as requiring acute treatment to avoid long-term disability and dysfunction. There are a number of soft-tissue injuries or non-traditional fractures, frequently treated by sports medicine surgeons, which additionally require treatment in an expedited fashion in order to optimize healing and function. Sports medicine injuries of the lower extremity requiring acute treatment include, but are not limited to, multiligamentous knee injuries, proximal hamstring ruptures, quadriceps tendon ruptures, patellar sleeve avulsions, patellar tendon ruptures, tibial spine avulsions, posterior cruciate ligament avulsions, bucket handle meniscus tears, and achilles tendon ruptures.

Evaluation of the robustness of randomized controlled trials for the treatment modalities of esophageal cancer using the fragility index - a systematic review.

Background: Esophageal cancer remains a significant global health challenge. Several treatment modalities were explored in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in recent decades. This study evaluates the robustness of RCTs focusing on esophageal cancer treatment using the fragility index (FI) and reverse fragility index (RFI).
