Objective: CSF leaks are a significant source of patient morbidity following intradural spine surgeries. Watertight dural closure is crucial during these procedures to minimize the risk of a CSF leak. This study reports postoperative outcomes and changes in patient management after switching to penetrating titanium clips for dural closure in a large cohort of pediatric patients receiving a tethered cord release (TCR) or a selective dorsal rhizotomy (SDR).

Purpose: To identify clinical features which may predict the angle status of a large cohort of NVG eyes at the time of diagnosis.
Observations: Chart review was performed for all NVG eyes from 2010 to 2022. Complete angle closure was defined as having >75 % PAS, partial angle closure as having 1-75 % PAS, and open angles as having 0 % PAS.

The Australian manufacturing sector saw the exit of the automotive industry in 2017 arising in mass retrenchment across its assembly plants and supply chain firms. In 2019, a large-scale program of research was launched to investigate the impacts of the closures on workers and community including a dedicated stream of qualitative work which took place in 2021. This work took the form of in-depth interviews that investigated the experiences of automotive workers as they underwent retrenchment, reskilling, re-employment and retirement.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of purse-string sutures (PSS) compared with manual compression for access hemostasis in children with atrial septal defects (ASDs) after large-caliber venous delivery sheaths removal.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective clinical data review of 271 children with ASDs who underwent transcatheter device closure through large-caliber venous delivery sheaths (≥ 8 Fr) at our institution from January 2018 to January 2023. The PSS group (n = 144) was compared to the control group (n = 127), which underwent manual compression for femoral venous hemostasis after sheath removal, focusing on hemostatic time, limb braking time, bed rest time, hospital stay, and vascular access complications.

Purpose: Acute hand infections (AHIs) remain a challenge for hand surgeons and represent a condition for which clinical outcomes are considerably affected by social barriers. We previously described the looped Penrose drainage technique, where a drain is sutured to itself in a loop and the outflow tract of egress is maintained, thus obviating the need for large incisions, wound closure, or repeat packing, thereby reducing the follow-up burden. In the face of escalating numbers of socioeconomically vulnerable patients, especially in urban settings, we aimed to characterize the clinical features and outcomes of this technique in an urban population of patients with AHI.
