Article Synopsis
- MRI is commonly used to diagnose lateral epicondylitis (LE), but this study investigates whether MRI findings truly correlate with clinical symptoms in LE patients.
- Out of 243 patients with LE, high signal intensity changes were observed in a majority of elbows, yet results showed no significant correlation between these MRI findings and patients' symptoms.
- The study concludes that while MRI detects various changes in the extensor carpi radialis brevis and synovial folds, these findings do not predict or relate to the clinical condition of the patients.
Background: Proximal femoral fractures in geriatric patients are a major challenge in orthopedics, often leading to major functional impairment. Early surgical intervention is crucial for improving patient recovery and overall health outcomes. Thus, Japan's Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare initiated a reimbursement policy in April 2022 to encourage early surgery for these fractures in patients aged ≥75 years.

- This retrospective study aimed to identify risk factors for allogeneic red blood cell transfusion in adult spinal deformity surgery by reviewing the medical records of 151 patients who underwent corrective surgery from 2012 to 2021.
- Key factors examined included intraoperative hypothermia, autologous blood donation, and the use of hemostatic agents, which have been underexplored in previous research.
- The findings revealed that not using TXA, lacking autologous blood donation, and having longer surgery times were significant predictors of needing blood transfusions during the perioperative period.
Although α-adrenoceptor (α-AR) antagonists used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia can cause ejaculation disorders, the aetiology of this adverse event is still controversial. Therefore, we investigated the effects of antagonists with different affinities for α-AR subtypes on ejaculatory function and their mechanisms of action in normal rats. In the spontaneous seminal emission (SSE) test, systemically administered prazosin, terazosin, tamsulosin and naftopidil decreased the weight of ejaculated seminal material in a dose-dependent manner; the potency order was as follows: tamsulosin > terazosin > prazosin > naftopidil.

We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence (a deep learning algorithm; a convolutional neural network) to detect and classify RCTs using shoulder radiographs, and compare its diagnostic performance with that of orthopedic surgeons.
Methods: A total of 1169 plain shoulder anteroposterior radiographs (1 image per shoulder) were included in the total dataset and divided into four groups: intact, small, medium, and large to massive tear groups.
