Background: Despite advances in technique and implant design, instability after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty remains a challenging postoperative complication.
Materials And Methods: We examined our institutions' first 57 reverse total shoulder arthroplasties performed during a 3-year period (2004-2006). There were 9 cases of instability, all occurring within the first 6 months after surgery.
Results: All 9 patients had compromise of the subscapularis tendon at the time of initial reverse total shoulder implantation. With regard to implant positioning, 2 patients had superiorly inclined metaglenes and 3 had metaglenes positioned superior to the inferior glenoid. Each patient with a dislocation had at least 1 revision surgery, and 4 patients had underlying infection. At most recent follow-up, only 3 patients had a concentrically reduced reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in place whereas 3 remained explanted, 2 chronically dislocated, and 1 chronically subluxated.
Conclusions: Early instability after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty can be related to inadequate soft tissue, inadequate deltoid tension, malpositioned implants, and/or infection, and outcomes of treatment of early instability are generally poor.

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, and myocardial and valvular calcifications, leading to increased mortality rates. While the association between PHPT and diastolic dysfunction has been well-documented, data on systolic dysfunction and its reversal after curative parathyroidectomy (PTX) remains limited.
Purpose: To evaluate the effect of PTX on cardiovascular parameters, especially systolic dysfunction, in PHPT patients using conventional and speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE).

Ferroptosis is one of the cell death programs occurring after spinal cord injury (SCI) and is driven by iron-dependent phospholipid peroxidation. However, little is known about its underlying regulation mechanism. The present study demonstrated that lipid peroxidation was promoted in patients with SCI.

Vanadium dioxide ([Formula: see text]) is a favorable material platform of modern optoelectronics, since it manifests the reversible temperature-induced insulator-metal transition (IMT) with an abrupt and rapid changes in the conductivity and optical properties. It makes possible applications of such a phase-change material in the ultra-fast optoelectronics and terahertz (THz) technology. Despite the considerable interest to this material, data on its broadband electrodynamic response in different states are still missing in the literature.

Purpose: Early detection and management of hypertensive disorders during pregnancy and postpartum are essential. This systematic review and meta analysis aimed: (1) to examine the state of 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) use, and (2) in a subset of studies, evaluate 24-hour ABP parameters in the prediction and identification of Hypertensive Disorders of Pregnancy (HDP).
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in March of 2022 for English language studies published after 2000.
Objective: To summarize antiretroviral therapy (ART) use in the setting of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD).
Design: Cross-sectional analysis.
Methods: Descriptive analysis of ART regimens and dose of nucleoside/nucleotide reverse-transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI) in people with HIV and ESKD (dialysis, kidney transplantation, or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 mL/min/1.
