Minimally invasive surgery-total knee arthroplasty (MIS-TKA) requires a skin incision of < or =5 inches (measured with the knee in full extension). A mini midvastus approach limits surgical dissection and resultant soft tissue trauma. The patella is subluxated laterally but not everted . MIS-TKA is technically challenging and instrument dependent. The design of cutting guides, sizers, and retractors must continue to evolve. Prospective, randomized controlled trials are required to test the hypothesis that MIS-TKA results in decreased patient morbidity and outcome equal to or better than traditional TKA. The purpose of this article is to describe the MIS-TKA technique.

Background: Left atrial dissection is a rare and occasionally fatal complication of cardiac surgery and is defined as the creation of a false chamber through a tear in the mitral valve annulus extending into the left atrial wall. Some patients are asymptomatic, while others present with various symptoms, such as chest pain, dyspnea, and even cardiac arrest. Although there is no established management for left atrial dissection, surgery should be considered in patients with hemodynamic disruption.

Background: Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common malignant urological tumor, and regrettably, and is insensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy, resulting in poor patient outcomes. DBF4 plays a critical role in DNA replication and participates in various biological functions, making it an attractive target for cancer treatment. However, its significance in ccRCC has not yet been explored.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and causes regions of the brain to deteriorate. In this study, we investigated the effects of MR-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) for the delivery of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the 6-hydroxydopamine (6-HODA)-induced PD rat model. MRgFUS-induced blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability modulation was conducted using an acoustic controller with the targets at the striatum (ST) and SN.
