In spite of observing the requirements for thorough hemostasis and minimal trauma, the routine methods applied so far for treatment of idiopathic hydrocele have shown high percentage of postoperative complications. In a search for a more reliable and atraumatic operative method, since November 1988 the authors have performed operative treatment in 14 patients by the method of Lord. The operative technique is presented and the first results reported. Although the early results were good, for an overall appraisal of the possibilities of this method it will be necessary to gain more experience and then make comparative assessment with the routine methods applied thus far.

Factors influencing endometrial receptivity in women with recurrent implantation failure.
BMC Womens Health
January 2025
OVIklinika Infertility Center, Połczyńska 31, Warsaw, 01-377, Poland.
Background: Embryo implantation involves two key elements: a good quality embryo and receptive endometrium. Endometrial receptivity abnormalities are known as one of the possible causes of recurrent implantation failure (RIF), especially when the embryo is euploid. This study was aimed to evaluate the impact of age and other clinical factors on endometrial receptivity in women with RIF.

National Reference Center for Rare Pulmonary Diseases, Louis Pradel Hospital, Hospices Civils de Lyon, Claude Bernard University Lyon 1, UMR 754, ERN-LUNG, Lyon, France.
Purpose: In the INBUILD trial in patients with progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF), nintedanib slowed the decline in forced vital capacity (FVC) versus placebo, with a safety profile characterised mainly by gastrointestinal events. INBUILD-ON, the open-label extension of INBUILD, assessed the safety of nintedanib during longer-term treatment. Data on FVC were collected.

January 2025
Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Samsun University Faculty of Medicine, Samsun, Turkey (A.E.O.).
Rationale And Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound (US)-guided local steroid injection in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) using shear wave elastography (SWE).
Materials And Methods: A total of 47 wrists from 41 patients diagnosed with mild to moderate idiopathic CTS, based on clinical and electrophysiological criteria, were enrolled between June and October 2024. All participants underwent US-guided local steroid injection.
Inhibition of AXL ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis attenuation of M2 macrophage polarization.
Eur Respir J
January 2025
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Brain Korea 21 Project, Asan Medical Center, University of Ulsan College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
Rationale: Although a relationship between the Gas6/AXL pathway and pulmonary fibrosis (PF) has been suggested, the precise mechanisms and clinical implications of the AXL pathway in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are still unclear.
Methods: Constitutive and conditional AXL-knockout mice were generated and injected with bleomycin (BLM) to induce pulmonary fibrosis. The expression of AXL and macrophage subtypes in BLM-injected mice and patients with IPF was analysed using flow cytometry.

Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of California, Davis, CA, USA; Department of Basic Sciences, California Northstate University, Elk Grove, CA. Electronic address:
Background: Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder, where most patients die from lethal cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. Mechanisms leading to arrhythmic events in FA patients are poorly understood.
Objective: This study aims to examine cardiac electrical signal propagation in mouse model of FA with severe cardiomyopathy and evaluate effects of omaveloxolone (OMAV), the first FDA-approved therapy.
