The Ein Bild Röntgen Analyse system is used to radiographically measure femoral head penetration in total hip replacement components. Because determining the accuracy of any wear analysis system is more precise and comparable under in vitro conditions, we used a femoral head migration simulator to assess the accuracy of Ein Bild Röntgen Analyse and determine the effect of magnification factors on accuracy. We used onscreen magnifications of 100% and 200% to measure anteroposterior radiographs, which improved the accuracy of determining femoral head penetration. Improvements averaged 0.056 mm (95% CI +/- 0.013 mm) in the X direction and 0.024 mm (95% CI +/- 0.027 mm) in the Y direction. Femoral head penetration was simulated in 0.25-mm steps from 0-1 mm. Accuracy ranged from 0-0.029 mm (95% CI, 0.035-0.067 mm) for the X direction and from 0.001-0.013 mm (95% CI, 0.046-0.079 mm) for the Y direction. Assuming the worst accuracy combined for the X and Y directions, Ein Bild Röntgen Analyse can accurately detect femoral head penetration greater than 0.128 mm. These results are comparable with reported accuracy values for different systems and suggest that magnification tools should be considered with Ein Bild Röntgen Analyse when measuring wear radiographically.

Background: Optimal position of total hip arthroplasty (THA) components is critical for joint mechanics and stability. Acetabular component positioning during supine surgery in direct anterior approach (DAA) THA may be different in the standing position postoperatively, which traditional fluoroscopy is unable to predict. A novel 3-dimensional (3D) image analysis technology (IAT) that uses artificial intelligence to measure the tilt and rotation of the pelvis has enabled prediction of component positioning from supine to standing.

Objective: Family-based treatment (FBT) for youth with anorexia nervosa (AN), has not been compared to inpatient, multimodal treatment (IMT).
Method: Prospective, non-randomized pilot feasibility study of adolescents with AN receiving FBT (n = 31), and as a reference point for exploratory outcome comparisons IMT (n = 31), matched for baseline age and percent median BMI (%mBMI). Feasibility of FBT in youth fulfilling criteria for IMT was assessed via study recruitment and retention rates; acceptability via drop-out and caregiver strain; safety via adverse events; preliminary treatment effectiveness between groups was assessed via a change in %mBMI, AN psychopathology (Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire, EDE-Q), and hospital days, over 12 months with intent-to-treat, mixed models repeated measures analyses covering post-intervention usual care until 12 months.

A 58-year-old male with genetically confirmed spinocerebellar ataxia 3 was treated with 10 sessions of eurythmy therapy. He was rated 9 on the "Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia" before therapy started. Among movement and mental symptoms, he complained about sleep disturbances, insensitivity in the feet, and spasms in the legs.
