Morphometry of the anterior third ventricle region as a guide for the subfrontal (translaminaterminalis) approach.

Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Ege University, 35100 Bornova, Izmir, Turkey.

Published: October 2003

The anterior third ventricle region acquires clinical significance in benign and malignant tumors and cyst formations, of which craniopharyngiomas and gliomas are the most common. The subfrontal approach is one of the most preferred approaches for removing these tumors. In this study, the microsurgical anatomy of 81 Turkish, adult cadaveric hemispheres was examined to provide morphometric data of the region. These measurements from the anterior third ventricle region serve as a guide for neurosurgeons during surgical approach for removing anterior third ventricle tumors.

Background: Vertebrogenic pain is a documented source of anterior column chronic low back pain (CLBP) that stems from damaged vertebral endplates. Nociceptive signals are transmitted by the basivertebral nerve (BVN) and endplate damage is observed as Type 1 or Type 2 Modic changes (MC) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The clinical impact and safety of intraosseous radiofrequency ablation of the BVN (BVNA) for the treatment of vertebrogenic pain has been demonstrated in three prospective clinical trials (two randomized and one single-arm study).

A proper source of stem cells is key to muscle injury repair. Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) are an ideal source for the treatment of muscle injuries due to their high proliferative and differentiation capacities. However, the current myogenic induction efficiency of human DPSCs hinders their use in muscle regeneration due to the unknown induction mechanism.

Robotically assisted mitral valve repair using the butterfly technique in a patient with a narrow chest.

J Cardiothorac Surg

January 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Sapporo Cardio Vascular Clinic, 8-1, Kita 49 jyo, Higashi 16 jyo, Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, 007-0849, Japan.

Background: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery for mitral regurgitation is challenging in patients with narrow chests due to limited thoracic space. The butterfly technique can prevent systolic anterior motion in patients with degenerative mitral regurgitation and redundant posterior leaflets, but it is difficult to perform via minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Few reports have described mitral valve repair using the butterfly technique or in a narrow chest.

Background: There is a lack of evidence and continuous debate on whether femoral tunnel displacement substantially influences the clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation.

Purpose: To investigate possible associations between inaccurate femoral tunnel placement during MPFL-R and clinical outcomes, with a specific focus on proximal tunnel malpositioning.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Background: The intricate and heterogeneous phenotypes associated with neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) encumber exploration of their role in the neuropathology and underlying biological mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum.

Method: An individual-level Regional Radiomics Similarity Network (R2SN) for 487 patients with AD continuum (376 with NPSs vs. 111 without NPSs) were developed to find the R2SN connections associated with NPSs and refine the subtypes of NPS in the AD continuum.
