Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the fused and normal sides of patients with fused hips to identify differences in neurovascular structures and assess risk factors for neurovascular injury.
- The research involved 38 patients who had total hip arthroplasty, measuring the distances of neurovascular structures from the fused side versus the normal side, while considering variables like sex, weight, and the reason for fusion.
- Results indicated that neurovascular structures were significantly closer to the bone on the fused side, with notable variations based on sex and the age of fusion onset, suggesting a heightened risk of injury during hip surgery in patients whose fusion occurred before they finished growing.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the necessity of fixing coronoid process fractures in patients with terrible triad injuries of the elbow, given the ongoing debate in the medical community.
- It included 23 patients treated between August 2011 and July 2020, evaluating their clinical and radiological outcomes after being divided into fixation and non-fixation groups.
- Results showed no significant differences in elbow motion and performance scores between the two groups, but the non-fixation group experienced less height loss of the coronoid process.
Objectives: Latest literature proposes laryngopharyngeal reflux (LPR) as the underlying contributory factor for chronic inflammation in both upper and lower airways. In this study, we investigated LPR symptoms and signs of CRS patients and the various factors on their LPR symptoms and signs. We also evaluated the effect of the LPR symptoms and signs of CRS patients after endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).

The author examined the properties of drug interaction after concurrent administration of intrathecal sildenafil-clonidine, and further clarified the reciprocity of sildenafil and clonidine. Catheters were inserted into the intrathecal space of male Sprague-Dawley rats.

Then the role of the opioid receptor in the effect of sildenafil was further investigated. Catheters were inserted into the intrathecal space of male Sprague-Dawley rats.

There are common three types of opioid receptors mu, delta, and kappa. We characterized the role of subtypes of opioid receptor for the antinociception of sildenafil at the spinal level.
