Purpose: This study sought to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the interface between the rotator cuff and the semicircular humeral ligament or rotator cable (RCa) using histological and biomechanical techniques.
Methods: Out of 13 eligible cadaver specimens, 5 cadaver shoulders with an intact rotator cuff were included, 8 were excluded due to an injured rotator cuff. The histological study enables us to describe the capsule-tendon interface between the infraspinatus tendon (IST) or supraspinatus tendon (SST) and RCa, and to detect loose connective tissue layers to determine their precise location and measure their length along the interface.
Article Synopsis
- Uterine innervation is crucial to female reproductive health and has significant implications for conditions like endometriosis; recent histological advances have revealed its complex structure and role in these disorders.
- This review summarizes current research on uterine innervation, focusing on its effects on endometriosis and associated pain, using a systematic approach to analyze relevant studies.
- The review identified 45 studies that highlighted a trend towards increased nerve fiber density in ectopic endometrial tissue, suggesting a link between this heightened innervation and the chronic pain seen in endometriosis patients.
Article Synopsis
- Pelvic gynecological surgeries often lead to complications due to damage to the autonomic nervous system, and recognizing the deep uterine vein (DUV) can help prevent this.
- A systematic literature review and anatomical studies were conducted to better understand the DUV's structure and role in surgical settings, utilizing cadaver dissections and advanced imaging techniques.
- The research confirmed the DUV's importance in dividing uterine regions and assisting surgeons in navigating the subperitoneal anatomy to reduce the risk of nerve and ureter injuries during procedures.
Objective: The role of endovascular treatment in the management of patients with brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) remains uncertain. AVM embolization can be offered as stand-alone curative therapy or prior to surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) (pre-embolization). The Treatment of Brain AVMs Study (TOBAS) is an all-inclusive pragmatic study that comprises two randomized trials and multiple registries.

Patients excluded from the RCTs are followed in parallel treatment and observation registries, allowing a comparison between RCT and registry patients.
Methods: The first randomized clinical trial (RCT-1) offers 1:1 randomized allocation of intervention versus conservative management for patients with arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
