Purpose: Femoroacetabular impingement can be successfully treated by open osteoplasty, although arthroscopic osteoplasty is growing in popularity. We compared the precision and accuracy of arthroscopic versus open osteoplasty.
Methods: We randomly assigned 8 paired fresh-frozen cadaveric pelvises to an open or arthroscopic technique and performed osteoplasty on both anterior femoral head-neck junctions. We calculated the volume and location of the resected bone using digital subtraction of preoperative and postoperative computed tomography.
Results: Statistical analysis showed no differences between the techniques regarding volume, depth, or overall arc of resection. The arthroscopic group was closer to the predetermined starting point, and the open group was closer to the end-point.
Conclusions: This study confirms the ability to perform arthroscopic decompressions of the head-neck junction for isolated cam-type impingement with accuracy and precision that approach those of the open surgical technique.
Clinical Relevance: This report gives important information on the accuracy and precision of arthroscopic osteoplasty of the femoral head-neck junction as a feasible alternative to open resection.

Background: Locally advanced pancreatic adenocarcinomas (LA-PDAC) are more frequently operated now than in the past because of new regimen chemotherapy and improvement in surgical technique. Resection of the coeliac trunk (CT) during pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) or total pancreatectomy (TP) is not routinely done owing to the risk of liver and gastric ischaemia. In this video, a patient with LA-PDAC underwent TP with CT resection and retrograde gastric revascularization through the distal splenic artery.

Background: Familial Meniere's disease (FMD) is a rare polygenic disorder of the inner ear. Mutations in the connexin gene family, which encodes gap junction proteins, can also cause hearing loss, but their role in FMD is largely unknown.
Methods: We retrieved exome sequencing data from 94 individuals in 70 Meniere's disease (MD) families.

A Zenker's diverticulum (ZD) is an acquired hernia of the mucosa and submucosa at the pharyngoesophageal junction dorsally through Killian's triangle, considered a zone of weakness. The authors report their experience in the management of a case of a ZD with oral externalization following coughing. Surgery made by a multidisciplinary team consisted first of resection of the edematous exteriorized portion of the diverticulum.

Aim: To investigate additional factors contributing to the pathophysiology of chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis and periodontitis beyond the systemic immune suppression caused by the chemotherapeutic agent 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU).
Methods: 5-Fluorouracil was topically delivered to the non-keratinized, rapidly proliferating junctional epithelium (JE) surrounding the dentition, and acts as an immunologic and functional barrier to bacterial ingression. Various techniques, including EdU incorporation, quantitative immunohistochemistry (qIHC), histology, enzymatic activity assays, and micro-computed tomographic (μCT) imaging, were employed to analyze the JE at multiple time points following topical 5-FU treatment.

This study aimed to investigate the role of Piezo1 in nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction in allergic rhinitis (AR) using both in vitro and in vivo experimental methods. A total of 79 human nasal mucosal samples were collected, including 43 from AR patients and 36 from healthy controls. Additionally, 12 BALB/c mice were used for the in vivo experiments.
