In 7 patients aged from 43 to 64 years with severe infectious allergic forms of bronchial asthma with curative aims radiofrequency electrostimulator for the boundary trunk of the sympathic nerve (BTSN) has been implanted in the neck. Daily sessions of electrostimulation (ES) by the current with parameters 1-100 Hz, 0.1-0.4 m/s, 0.1-2.0 V adjusted individually by maximal broncholytic and clinical effects were performed for 5 years. It was established that ES of BTSN can produce both bronchial dilatation and bronchial spasm. Application of ES of BTSN has resulted in a decrease of bronchial hyperreactivity, frequency of asthmatic attacks 2.6-3.2 fold in consumption of antiasthmatic drugs 2.4-2.7 fold. The only complication has been detected--rejection of the electrostimulator due to the defect of its capsule. This method can be applied as an adjuvant in therapy of severe forms of bronchial asthma resistant to drug treatment.

A study on the performance of WordSID thorax module for thorax injury prediction in e-Bike rider based on real accident data.
Acta Bioeng Biomech

College of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering, Hunan University, Changsha, China.
In this study, the analysis of 2824 vulnerable road users (VRU) accident data from China's FASS (Future mobile traffic Accident Scenario Study) database indicates that VRU side impacts are the most common collision scenarios. A typical accident (minivan-toeBike) from the FASS database was selected for accident reconstruction. WordSID thorax module has been employed to evaluate e-Bike rider thorax injuries and its kinematic difference has been investigated as well.

Balance control deficits resulting from ankle sprains are central to chronic ankle instability (CAI) and its persistent symptoms. This study aimed to identify differences in balance control between individuals with CAI and healthy controls (HC) using challenging single-leg balance tasks. Twenty-three CAI and 23 HC participants performed balance tasks on a force plate that either remained static or moved mediolaterally.

Background: Unrestricted kinematic alignment (uKA) in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has the theoretical advantage of reproducing patients' constitutional alignment and restoring the pre-arthritic joint line position and obliquity. However, modifications of the original uKA technique have been proposed due to the potential risk of mechanical failure and instability. Given the significant variability in soft tissue behavior within the same bony morphology group, uKA pure knee resurfacing could be occasionally detrimental.

To investigate and compare the clinical efficacy and prognosis of D3 lymphadenectomy/complete mesocolic excision in treatment of right colon cancer with different medial boundaries. We searched The Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Embase, CBM, VIP, CNKI, and WanFang data bases for superior mesenteric artery (SMA)-oriented and superior mesenteric vein (SMV)-oriented D3 lymphadenectomy/complete mesocolic excision from inception to December, 2023. The resultant data were submitted to meta-analysis using RevMan 5.

Article Synopsis
- - The study reviewed ultrasound characteristics of alveolar soft part sarcoma (ASPS) in 20 pediatric cases diagnosed from January 2014 to January 2024.
- - Tumors were found equally in the trunk/limbs and head/neck, with head and neck tumors being smaller and more symptomatic, yet showing less metastasis.
- - Key ultrasound features included hypoechoic masses with clear borders, varied echogenicity, and pronounced vascularity, highlighting a correlation between tumor size and metastasis risk.
