Radial nerve compression at the arcade of Frohse is a rare but significant condition that typically presents with pain primarily after exertion and at night on the dorsal side of the forearm, more distally than tennis elbow pain, and weakness of the wrist extensors and the long fingers and thumb extensors. Traditional treatment often involves open surgery, resulting in significant scarring. This study introduces a novel percutaneous radial nerve release technique under complete ultrasound guidance and highlights its efficacy and safety.

However, the limited availability of donor corneas poses a significant challenge in meeting the demand for corneal transplantation. As a result, there is a growing interest in developing strategies alleviate this unmet need, and one of the postulated approaches is to isolate and expand primary human corneal endothelial cells (HCECs) for use in cell therapy.

Pancreatic islet transplantation is a crucial treatment for managing type 1 diabetes (T1D) in clinical settings. However, the limited availability of human cadaveric islet donors and the need for ongoing administration of immunosuppressive agents post-transplantation hinder the widespread use of this treatment. Stem cell-derived islet organoids have emerged as an effective alternative to primary human islets.
