Objective: To assess lateral differences between ossification events and stages of bone development in the hands and wrists utilizing Fishman's skeletal maturation indicators (SMIs).
Materials And Methods: The skeletal ages of 125 subjects, aged 8 to 20 years, were determined with left and right hand-wrist radiographs using Fishman's SMI assessment. Each subject was also given the Edinburgh Handedness Questionnaire to assess handedness. The skeletal ages of both hand-wrist radiographs were analyzed against each other, handedness, chronologic age, and gender.
Results: There were no significant differences overall in right and left SMI scores (P = .70); 79% of all patients showed no difference in right and left SMI scores, regardless of handedness, gender, or age. However, when patients were categorized based on clinical levels of SMI score for the right hand-wrist, there was a significant difference (P = .01) between the SMI 1-3 group and the SMI 11 group. Subjects in the SMI 1-3 group were more likely to show a left > right SMI score, while subjects in the SMI 11 group were likely to show a right > left SMI score.
Conclusion: Although no significant overall lateral differences in SMI scores were noted, it may be advisable to obtain a left hand-wrist radiograph and/or additional diagnostic information to estimate completion of growth in young surgical patients.

Silent myocardial infarction (SMI) is a type of myocardial infarction that occurs in the absence of, or with, minimal symptoms, often leading to a delay in medical treatment. There is a lack of data regarding the incidence and/or prevalence of a left ventricular (LV) thrombus in those who have had an SMI, due to the rarity of such cases. We describe a case of an SMI with LV thrombus in an otherwise healthy young man, whose first presentation was with stroke-type symptoms and who was also later found to have a Factor V Leiden (FVL) mutation and raised factor VIII levels.

Objectives: To establish a quantitative method for objectively assessing 3-dimensional (3D) mandibular trajectories and comparing clinical evaluations with computational analyses.
Methods: In total, 184 volunteers were recruited and grouped into control (n = 121) and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) groups (n = 63) according to the dual-axis DC/TMD checklist. 3D trajectories were generated by integrating mandibular motion and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records.

Background: Shenmai injection (SMI), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation derived from the herbal decoction Shenmai Yin, is widely used in treating cardiovascular disorders. This study extensively investigated the effects and mechanisms of action of SMI on lipid metabolism in post-myocardial infarction heart failure (pMIHF).
Methods: Network pharmacology was employed to predict the key targets and associated pathways involved in lipid metabolism for potential SMI treatments in post-myocardial infarction heart failure (pMIHF).

Background: Recent studies show Silent Myocardial Infarction (SMI) as a quite frequent event. However, regarding severe tertiary care patients that frequently present consequences of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Left Ventricular Dysfunction (LVD), the occurrence of this manifestation is unexpected and its associated factors aren't clear in the literature.
Aim: To compare clinical, laboratorial, ventricular and angiographic factors between silent and classical presentation of MI in patients with CAD and LVD.
