A lateral soft tissue neck radiograph is a useful adjunct in diagnosing and managing the patient presenting with upper airway symptoms but is often inadequately reviewed. We present some common findings and robust systems to improve analysis of these radiographs.

Posterior cruciate ligament resection increases intraoperative lateral and medial flexion laxity during total knee arthroplasty.
Int Orthop
January 2025
University of Lille, 42 rue Paul Duez, 59000, Lille, Nord, France.
Purpose: This study reports the relationship between posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) retention vs resection and soft tissue laxity and balance throughout flexion using a robotically controlled ligament tensioner.
Methods: 55 robotic-assisted TKAs (Total knee arthroplasty) were retrospectively reviewe. The robotic ligament tensioner collected laxity data both before and after PCL resection.
Impact of charge distribution on the stability of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals.

Department of Physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan.
This study explores the influence of charge distribution and molecular shape on the stability of ferroelectric nematic liquid crystalline phases through atomistic simulations of DIO molecules. We demonstrate the role of dipole-dipole interactions and molecular shape in achieving polar ordering by simulating charged and chargeless topologies, and analysing positional and orientational pair-distribution functions. The charged DIO molecules exhibit head-to-tail and side-by-side parallel alignments conducive to long-range polar order, whereas the chargeless molecules show no polar ordering.

J Contemp Dent Pract
October 2024
Department of Crown and Bridge, Faculty of Dentistry, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
Aim: To assess hard as well as soft peri-implant tissues within cases having two lost adjacent anterior teeth treated through placing either two implants with two separate crowns or only an implant along with a crown with a cantilever, and evaluating the effect of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) restoration on cantilever design up to 18 months after functional loading.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-seven participants (15 males and 12 females; mean age, 38.6 years; range 20-50 years) with missing two adjacent anterior teeth were treated with implant system (Flotecno implant system, Italy).
Case report: Endolymphatic sac tumor with blurred vision.
Front Oncol
January 2025
The Second Clinical Medicine College, Jinan University, Shenzhen, China.
Introduction: Endolymphatic sac tumor (ELST) is a rare neoplasm that exhibits aggressive growth primarily in the endolymphatic capsule and can potentially affect nearby neurovascular structures. The diagnosis of ELST poses challenges due to its low prevalence, gradual progression, and nonspecific symptomatology. It is currently believed that prompt surgical intervention is recommended for endolymphatic sac tumors upon diagnosis.

Division of Foot and Ankle, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, 27710. Electronic address:
As the incidence of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) for the management of end-stage arthritis is on the rise, identification of risk factors for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is essential. There has been limited research exploring the use of radiographic soft tissue thickness in TAA despite its predictive value in other forms of arthroplasty. This study evaluated the predictive capabilities of radiographic soft-tissue thickness for PJI following TAA.
