Objectives: This study aims to investigate the frequency of recurrence and prolonged postoperative symptoms in patients undergoing open A1 pulley release for trigger finger and to identify potential associated factors.
Patients And Methods: Between October 2021 and December 2023, a total of 72 patients (30 males, 42 females; mean age: 58.0±11.

Trigger finger (TF), also known as stenosing flexor tenosynovitis, is a common pathology of the fingers causing functional deficit of the hand. In recent years, new therapeutic approaches such as extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) and ultrasound-guided (USG) procedures have joined the most traditional conservative treatments as the adaptation of daily activities involving the affected hand and the orthosis. Likewise, the ultrasound (US) examination of the affected finger using modern high-frequency probes has progressively become part of the comprehensive assessment of patients with TF coupled with the medical history, the physical examination, and the functional scales.

Background: Stroke is the leading cause of acquired motor deficiencies in adults. Restoring prehension abilities is challenging for individuals who have not recovered active hand opening capacities after their rehabilitation. Self-triggered functional electrical stimulation applied to finger extensor muscles to restore grasping abilities in daily life is called grasp neuroprosthesis (GNP) and remains poorly accessible to the post-stroke population.

Patients undergoing trigger release surgery are known to be at increased risk of amyloidosis and heart failure, and therefore, amyloidosis screening during trigger release surgery may facilitate early diagnosis and treatment of cardiac amyloidosis. However, the reported prevalence of amyloid on biopsies taken during trigger release surgery has varied widely, and no biopsy-positive patients in prior studies have been diagnosed with occult cardiac amyloidosis or started on disease-modifying therapy. We review the existing literature on this topic and present a case of a patient with cardiac amyloidosis diagnosed from a biopsy taken during trigger release surgery and subsequently started on disease-modifying therapy.

Moyamoya disease (MMD) is a rare cerebrovascular disease characterized by stenosis or occlusion of the internal carotid artery, thus leading to ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes. Although genetic studies have identified ring finger protein 213 (RNF213) as a susceptibility gene, the low disease penetrance suggests that a secondary trigger, such as infection, may initiate disease onset. This study aimed to characterize the innate immune cell profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of MMD patients via mass cytometry (CyTOF).
