Extensor Carpi Ulnaris Tendinopathy Following Conservative Treatment of a Distal Ulnar Metaphyseal Fracture: A Case Report.

Distal ulnar metaphyseal fractures are often treated conservatively with good clinical outcomes. Extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendinopathy after conservative treatment for distal ulnar metaphyseal fractures has not been reported. We present a case of a 20-year-old university baseball player who developed ECU tendinopathy after conservative treatment for a distal ulnar metaphyseal fracture.

Do Stainless-Steel Pins Coated with Fibroblast Growth Factor-Calcium Phosphatase Composite Layers Have Anti-Infective Effects?

The most problematic complication of external fixation is infection at the pin insertion site. Technology that improves the adhesion of the external fixation pin to the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and bone may prevent infection at the pin site. The purpose of this study is to formulate a calcium phosphate-fibroblast growth factor (Cp-FGF) coating on a stainless-steel external fixation pin and to verify its effectiveness in reducing infection at the pin site and its possible influence on bone fixation in animal experiments.

Three-Dimensional Morphometric Analysis of the Volar Cortical Shape of the Lunate Facet of the Distal Radius.

In cases of distal radius fractures, the fixation of the volar lunate facet fragment is crucial for preventing volar subluxation of the carpal bones. This study aims to clarify the sex differences in the volar morphology of the lunate facet of the distal radius and its relationship with the transverse diameter of the distal radius. Sixty-four CT scans of healthy wrists (30 males and 34 females) were evaluated.

Genomic and Pathologic Profiling of Very Well-Differentiated Gastric Adenocarcinoma of Intestinal Type: A Study With Emphasis on Diffuse-Type Transformation.

Very well-differentiated adenocarcinoma of intestinal type is a distinct subtype of gastric cancer characterized by anastomosing glands with a hand-in-hand pattern and low-grade cytologic atypia resembling intestinal metaplasia. This is a slow-growing neoplasm with an indolent clinical course; however, a subset demonstrates transformation into adenocarcinoma with higher-grade histology, typically diffuse-type carcinoma, and behaves aggressively. This study aimed to better characterize the genomic and pathologic features, with a focus on factors associated with diffuse-type transformation.
