We have evaluated the Powered Metaphyseal Stapler in various procedures in the adult foot to determine the effectiveness of this form of internal fixation. Thirty-five patients had 40 operations (five bilateral). In all but one case there was both clinical and radiographic evidence of a solid bony union. Backing out of the staples has been a minor problem that has required staple removal in three patients. The Powered Metaphyseal Stapler appears to offer a most satisfactory option for internal fixation in the foot, when used in metaphyseal or cancellous bone, as either primary or adjuvant fixation.

To Our Nurse Friends: An Ode to Resistance.
Nurs Philos
January 2025
Quebec Heart and Lung Institute Research Center, Quebec City, Quebec, Canada.
The concept of resistance in nursing has been garnering more interest in the last few years, with emerging focus on working conditions, power differentials in clinical settings, health inequities, and planetary health concerns. As a result, it's important to identify what is being resisted, and what is the purpose of the resistance carried out. In whatever way resistance is referenced in nursing, outright or not, it is our contention that it's in response to the same underlying cause, barring some local and contextual variations, which we refer to as 'the Beast', where the real catastrophe is societal, and is 'existential, affective and metaphysical'.

Brain and Consciousness Independent Research Center, Andijan 710132, Uzbekistan. Electronic address:
A resurgence of panpsychism and dualism is a matter of ongoing debate in modern neuroscience. Although metaphysically hostile, panpsychism and dualism both persist in the science of consciousness because the former is proposed as a straightforward answer to the problem of integrating consciousness into the fabric of physical reality, whereas the latter proposes a simple solution to the problem of free will by endowing consciousness with causal power as a prerequisite for moral responsibility. I take the Integrated Information Theory (IIT) as a paradigmatic exemplar of a theory of consciousness (ToC) that makes its commitments to panpsychism and dualism within a unified framework.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Seoul National University College of Medicine, 101 Daehak-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 03080, Korea.
Background: In metaphyseo-diaphyseal (M-D) mismatched Dorr A femurs, it is difficult to achieve proper fixation with a type 1 stem. Proper interpretation of the geometry of the femur is integral at the preoperative stage in an M-D mismatched femur, but there has been a scarcity of studies on the radiologic indices. Therefore, we analyze the previous radiologic indices and suggest the novel ones for M-D mismatched femurs.
