Objective: To compare the effects of elastic bandage compression with the specific hemostasis devices in patients undergoing transradial coronary intervention.
Methods: A total of 3000 consecutive patients were randomized to 3 groups and 2910 patients completed the study, 963 patients in elastic bandage group (ER), 976 in T band group (TB) and 971 in balloon group (TR). In-hospital vascular related complication was the primary study endpoint. The secondary endpoints included: risk factors of complications, compression time, fibroplasia conditions and the comfort feeling of patients.
Results: The overall incidence of vascular related complication in 3 groups was similar (P = 0.262). Female, low body weight, prolongation of procedure and multi-punctures were identified as the independent risk factors for complications. Moreover, the compression time and the fibroplasia condition in TB and TR group were superior to those in the ER group. Comfortable feeling of the patients was better in TR and TB group than in ER group (P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Both conventional bandage device and specific radial device are feasible and associated with low incidence of vascular complication. However, the specific radial device has significant advantage over bandage strategy in compression time and quality of life.

Objectives: The scaphoid fat pad stripe (SFS) is a radiological sign first described in 1975 as a line of relative lucency lying parallel to the lateral border of the scaphoid, with slight convexity toward it, and it is optimally demonstrated on postero-anterior and oblique views with ulnar deviation of the carpus. The obliteration or displacement of this line is commonly present in acute fractures of the scaphoid, radial styloid process, and proximal first metacarpus. The aim of this observational study is to investigate the supportive value of the fat stripe sign (SFS) in the diagnosis of scaphoid fractures in the pediatric population.

This study aims to evaluate the quantitative changes in retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness and radial peripapillary capillary (RPC) vessel density in patients with chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR), specifically excluding the peripapillary region. A prospective case-control study was conducted at the Antalya Training and Research Hospital, Health Sciences University, involving 65 patients with chronic CSCR. Participants were categorized into two groups based on the presence or regression of subretinal fluid (SRF).

Defects in motile cilia and flagella lead to motile ciliopathies, including primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), which manifests as multi-organ dysfunction such as hydrocephalus, infertility, and respiratory issues. CFAP65 variants are a common cause of male infertility, but its localization and function have remained unclear. In this study, we systematically evaluated CFAP65's role using Cfap65 knockout mice and human patients with CFAP65 variants.

Ferroelectric nematic (N) liquid crystals combine liquid-like fluidity and orientational order of conventional nematics with macroscopic electric polarization comparable in magnitude to solid-state ferroelectric materials. Here, we present a systematic study of twenty-seven homologous materials with various fluorination patterns, giving new insight into the molecular origins of spontaneous polar ordering in fluid ferroelectric nematics. Beyond our initial expectations, we find the highest stability of the N phase to be in materials with specific fluorination patterns rather than the maximal fluorination, which might be expected based on simple models.
