High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a widely used procedure for delaying knee arthroplasty, correcting alignment, and relieving symptoms in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Recently, proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has emerged as a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative. This study compares the outcomes of HTO and PFO to evaluate whether PFO can deliver results comparable to HTO in similar patient populations.

- Accurate staging of prostate cancer is crucial for treatment decisions; this study compares the effectiveness of Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT and mpMRI in preoperative assessments.
- In a study involving 78 patients, mpMRI showed greater sensitivity for detecting extraprostatic extension and bladder neck invasion, while Ga-68 PSMA PET/CT was more effective for identifying seminal vesicle invasion and lymph node metastasis.
- When both imaging methods were used together, there was a significant improvement in the accuracy of tumor localization, reaching over 72%, highlighting the benefits of using complementary imaging techniques.
Background: The aim of this study is to investigate mechanical properties of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO), supracutaneousplating (SP), and unilateral external fixators (UEF) which can be performed for open tibial fractures.
Methods: An unstable diaphysial tibia fracture was created in 60 fresh sheep tibia specimens by performing an osteotomy at the middle of bones. Specimens were divided into 3 groups.
This study presents a novel method for predicting the undrained shear strength () using artificial intelligence technology. The value is critical in geotechnical applications and difficult to directly determine without laboratory tests. The group method of data handling (GMDH)-type neural network (NN) was utilized for the prediction of .

The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the short-term (6 months) effect of ivabradine on N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), CA-125, and cystatin-C values in systolic HF outpatients, and secondary aim was to determine the relationship between baseline HR and the NT-proBNP, CA-125, cystatin-C, and clinical status variation with ivabradine therapy.
Methods: Ninety-eight patients (mean age: 65.
