Press-Fit Bone-Anchored Prosthesis for Individuals with Transtibial Amputation.
JBJS Essent Surg Tech
May 2024
Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Background: This video article describes the use of bone-anchored prostheses for patients with transtibial amputations, most often resulting from trauma, infection, or dysvascular disease. Large studies have shown that about half of all patients with a socket-suspended artificial limb experience limited mobility and limited prosthesis use because of socket-related problems. These problems occur at the socket-residual limb interface as a result of a painful and unstable connection, leading to an asymmetrical gait and subsequent pelvic and back pain.

January 2025
The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, No. 1 Youyi Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400016, P.R. China.
Objective: To investigate the effects of modified twin-block appliances (MTBA) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mandibular retrognathia and the changes in the upper airway, hyoid bone position, and hypoxia-related inflammatory marker levels in children with OSA.
Methods: This study included children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia and those with class I without mandibular retrognathia (n = 35 each). The experimental group comprised children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia managed using MTBA.

Department of Vascular Surgery, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Yiwu, Zhejiang, China.
Background: Thoracic aortic pathologies involving the aortic arch are a great challenge for vascular surgeons. Maintaining the patency of supra-aortic branches while excluding the aortic lesion remains difficult. Thoracic EndoVascular Aortic Repair (TEVAR) with fenestrations provides a feasible and effective approach for this type of disease.

January 2025
Department of Surgery, Trauma Research Center, Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Among bariatric surgeries, laparoscopic sleeve gastrostomy (LSG) has gained good global acceptance, but this surgery, like any other invasive procedure, has side effects. Various techniques have been tested to reduce these complications, which are used under the title of stapler line reinforcement (SLR). The purpose of this research is to compare the bleeding, leakage, mortality, food intolerance, re-hospitalization, and post-operative invasive therapeutic interventions in LSG surgery in two groups with and without omentopexy method.

Division of Cardiology, Children's Hospital Los Angeles, University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA.
L-transposition of the great arteries (L-TGA) represents a spectrum of congenital heart defects (CHD) associated with atrioventricular block (AVB). However, the incidence and prognosis of postoperative AVB among patients with variants of L-TGA is uncertain. Assess the incidence and risk factors for postoperative AVB requiring permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation for pediatric patients with L-TGA undergoing cardiac surgery.
