Objective: The left inferior phrenic artery (LIPA) is one of the common extrahepatic collateral arteries that supply hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). The purpose of this study is to describe the anatomy of the LIPA that supplies HCCs using C-arm CT in 23 patients.
Conclusion: The anteromedial limb of the ascending branch was present in 14 patients and accessory gastric branches were noted in 11 patients. The use of angiography and C-arm CT of the LIPA showed 26 tumor feeders in 23 patients. The feeders were seen in the anteromedial limb (n = 12), lateral limb (n = 9), anterior limb (n = 3), and descending branch (n = 2). The anteromedial limb of the ascending branch is a common tumor feeder of the LIPA and can supply HCCs located in the right liver dome. Gastric staining is also frequently depicted on LIPA angiography and should not be confused with tumor staining.

Effect of concentric exercise-induced fatigue on proprioception, motor control and performance of the upper limb in handball players.
PLoS One

Background: The last phases of a competitive game are when shoulder injuries most commonly happen, and fatigue is thought to be a major contributing factor, perhaps because of reduced proprioception and motor control. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of concentric fatigue on proprioception, motor control, and performance of the upper limb in handball players.
Methods: Forty-six right-handed handball players (all males, age 26.

Stress fractures of the medial malleolus are uncommon and considered high-risk due to potential complications such as progression to complete fracture, delayed union, nonunion, and chronic pain. Identified risk factors include varus alignment of the lower limb, chronic anteromedial impingement, excessive pronation/supination, broad talar neck, and ankle instability. To our knowledge, no reports of recurrence after surgical treatment have been reported.

Objective: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are a major problem in the pediatric and adolescent populations. Some of these injuries are only partial; yet, there is limited data to inform clinical treatment of such partial tears. It is unknown how injury partial injury impacts long-term degenerative changes in the joint relative to complete injury.

Article Synopsis
- Injuries to the knee's ligaments, especially the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL), can make the knee move too much in certain ways, which isn't good.
- The study aimed to see if a special surgery could help fix these knee movement problems by reconstructing the injured ligaments.
- After testing on knee samples, they found that the surgery successfully restored the knee’s movements to normal levels, just like a healthy knee.
