Efficacy of Open Reduction and Internal Fixation Assisted by Handheld Ultrasound Combined with 3D Printing Technology in Treating Multiple Rib Fractures.

Aim: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of open reduction and internal fixation assisted by handheld ultrasound combined with three-dimensional (3D) printing technology in treating multiple rib fractures.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data from 84 patients affected with multiple rib fractures admitted to our hospital between August 2022 and April 2024. After excluding four cases, 80 cases were included in this study.

Long Non-Coding RNA SNHG4 Is a Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Indicator in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

Objective: The mortality rate of non-small cell lung cancer ranks first worldwide. The lack of effective and accurate diagnosis contributes to the unfavorable prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer patients since most of them are diagnosed at an advanced stage. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether LncRNA SNHG4 was implicated in predicting non-small cell lung cancer diagnosis and outcomes.
