Importance: Characterizing hospital-level factors associated with adverse outcomes following operative vaginal delivery (OVD) is crucial for optimizing obstetric care.

Objective: To assess the association between hospital OVD volume and adverse outcomes.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This was a retrospective cohort study of OVDs in California between 2008 and 2020.

Introduction: Brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) has an incidence of 0.9 per 1,000 live births in the population. Techniques for repair classically include supraclavicular exploration and nerve grafting (SENG) and more recently nerve transfer, namely of the spinal accessory nerve (SAN) to the suprascapular nerve (SSN) to improve functional outcomes such as glenohumeral abduction and external rotation.

This study aimed to compare the fascicular anatomy of upper limb nerves visualized using in situ high-resolution ultrasound (HRUS) with ex vivo imaging modalities, namely, magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM), histological cross-sections (HCS), and optical projection tomography (OPT). The median, ulnar, and superficial branch of radial nerve (n = 41) were visualized in 14 cadaveric upper limbs using 22-MHz HRUS. Subsequently, the nerves were excised, imaged with different microscopic techniques, and their morphometric properties were compared.

This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic and evaluative significance of combining median nerve (MN) morphological measurements with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and T2 mapping metrics for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Morphological and multiparametric magnetic resonance neurography (MRN), along with clinical evaluation, were conducted on 33 CTS patients and 32 healthy controls. The MRN metrics included fractional anisotropy (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), axial diffusivity (AD), radial diffusivity (RD), T2 value, cross-sectional area (CSA) and MN flattening ratio (MNFR) at both the pisiform bone and hamate bone levels.
