Forehead Lift With Cross-Frontal Scalp Anchorage.

Background: Over the past decade, facial aesthetics has gained popularity, with a notable increase in upper-face lift procedures. Despite the popularity of brows and forehead lifts, the optimal fixation technique remains controversial. Common methods involve suturing of the temporal fascia or using monocortical miniscrews anchored to the frontal bone.

Cellular pathophysiology of Leptospira interrogans infection in canine testicular tissue: role of the TLR4/NF-kB/JNK pathway.

Leptospirosis is a prevalent zoonotic disease in dogs. Although it is known that leptospires are primarily harboured in kidney tissues of dogs, it has been reported that they also infect testicular tissue. Leptospira interrogans causes various lesions in canine testicular tissues; however, the pathogenesis has not been clearly explained.

Differential TLR2 and TLR4 mediated inflammatory and apoptotic responses in asymptomatic and symptomatic Leptospira interrogans infections in canine uterine tissue.

Leptospirosis is major zoonotic disease with global implications, affecting both domestic animals and humans. It is caused by Leptospira interrogans (L. interrogans), which can damage multiple organs, including the kidneys, liver, testes, and uterus.

Risk Factors for Early Implant Failure in Geriatric Intertrochanteric Fractures Treated with Twin Interlocking Derotation and Compression Screw Cephalomedullary Nail (InterTAN).

Purpose Of The Study: Intertrochanteric hip fractures in elderly patients are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with increasing incidence due to the aging population. Despite advancements in intramedullary nailing (IMN) technology, fixation failure remains a concern. This study aims to evaluate pre-and postoperative radiographic risk factors for varus collapse in geriatric intertrochanteric fractures treated with twin interlocking derotation and compression screw cephalomedullary nail (InterTAN, Smith & Nephew).

Surgical outcomes of cable plate fixation in treatment of Vancouver type B1 and type C periprosthetic femoral fractures: a retrospective case series.

This study aimed to investigate the mid-to-long-term surgical outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) using a hybrid locking plate/cable technique for the treatment of Vancouver type B1 and type C periprosthetic femoral fractures (PPFs) in a consecutive group of patients from a single tertiary referral center. Twenty-five patients (25 PPFs; 17 female, 8 male) in whom a Vancouver type B1 or type C PPF was diagnosed and treated by a hybrid locking plate/cable technique from 2005 to 2016 were included in the study. Patients' functional status was categorized into 4 groups based on the Harris Hip Score (HHS) at the final follow-up: 70=poor result; 70-80=fair; 80-90=good, and 90-100=excellent.

Intra- and inter-observer reliability of Dias-Tachdjian classification in pediatric ankle fractures: do clinical experience and expertise matter?

The Dias-Tachdjian classification is the most commonly used system for the classification of pediatric ankle fractures, but its inter- and intra-observer reliability has not been studied in detail. Also, the impact of the clinician's experience and expertise on the reliability of this system is unknown. This study aimed: (1) to determine the intra- and inter-observer reliability of the Dias-Tachdjian classification and (2) to investigate the effect of the clinician's experience and expertise on the reliability of this system.

An AI based classifier model for lateral pillar classification of Legg-Calve-Perthes.

We intended to compare the doctors with a convolutional neural network (CNN) that we had trained using our own unique method for the Lateral Pillar Classification (LPC) of Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease (LCPD). Thousands of training data sets are frequently required for artificial intelligence (AI) applications in medicine. Since we did not have enough real patient radiographs to train a CNN, we devised a novel method to obtain them.

Designing spin and orbital sources of Berry curvature at oxide interfaces.

Quantum materials can display physical phenomena rooted in the geometry of electronic wavefunctions. The corresponding geometric tensor is characterized by an emergent field known as the Berry curvature (BC). Large BCs typically arise when electronic states with different spin, orbital or sublattice quantum numbers hybridize at finite crystal momentum.
