Background: For radiotherapy of head and neck cancer (HNC) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role due to its high soft tissue contrast. Moreover, it offers the potential to acquire functional information through diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with the potential to personalize treatment. The aim of this study was to acquire repetitive DWI during the course of online adaptive radiotherapy on an 1.

Background: To analyze the effects of the positioning of a bolt in the femoral neck system (FNS) on the short-term outcomes of middle-aged and young adults with displaced femoral neck fractures (FNFs).
Methods: This was a retrospective study involving 114 middle-aged and young adults with displaced FNFs who were surgically treated with internal fixation via the FNS in the Department of Orthopedics, Suzhou Municipal Hospital, from December 2019 to January 2023. The degree of deviation of the central axis of the femoral head and neck from the tip of the bolt (W), the tip‒apex distance (TAD) and the length of femoral neck shortening (LFNS) were measured on postoperative X-ray and computed tomography (CT) scan images.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of simplified graded inferior oblique anterior transposition (IOAT) in treating at least 10 PD vertical deviation in the primary position and inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 65 patients treated with simplified graded IOAT procedures for both vertical deviation and IOOA. Patients were grouped according to vertical deviation in the primary position.

Objective: Chronic cough poses diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its often multifactorial nature. Chronic cough associated with laryngeal hypersensitivity is linked to sensory neuropathy of the superior laryngeal nerve and can be complex to manage. Superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) blocks are increasingly being utilized by laryngologists to treat refractory chronic cough with the intent of reducing inflammation and nerve hypersensitivity.
