Corrosion of the head-neck junction of the femoral component in total hip arthroplasty has been associated with symptomatic adverse local tissue reactions, trunion fracture and elevated serum metal ions. An analysis of risk factors and treatment strategies for corrosion at this interface is lacking in the literature. We therefore performed a systematic review of AAOS proceedings, MEDLINE and EMBASE databases, and included our own case series. A total of 24 articles representing 776 cases of head-neck corrosion met inclusion criteria. The combination of large femoral head sizes and small taper dimensions comprised the majority of published corrosion cases. Revision to ceramic head and ceramic/polyethylene liner was the most commonly utilised treatment. Coating precipitation, mixed alloy coupling and head-neck modulus mismatch collectively appear to contribute to the corrosive process.

Persistent sleep apnea after adenotonsillectomy in pediatric patients with head and neck burns.
Am J Otolaryngol
December 2024
Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 77555, USA.
Background: To determine if face, head, or neck burns increases risk of persistent sleep disordered breathing (SDB) or obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after adenotonsillectomy.
Methods: The TriNetX database was used to gather data for patients who had face, head, or neck burn including mouth and pharynx and history of sleep study with adenotonsillectomy. A comparison of persistent SDB or OSA was done between cohort 1, a group with sleep study and adenotonsillectomy after burn injury, and cohort 2, a group with treatment before a burn.
Revision rates of one new and two established hemiarthroplasty heads: a comparative cohort study from the Swedish Arthroplasty Register.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the revision rates of the Lubinus SPII-stem used in hemi-arthroplasties for femoral neck fractures, comparing three head types: Variocup, Unipolar Head (UH), and the newly introduced Modular Trauma Head (MTH).
- Data was collected from the Swedish Arthroplasty Register, including 33,059 patients from 2005 to 2021, with follow-up periods of up to 10 years for Variocup and UH, and 2 years for MTH. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were used to assess outcomes.
- Findings showed similar revision rates at 2 years across groups (3.1%-3.5%) and
Induction of cell death by sodium hexachloroplatinate (IV) in the HEI-OC1 cell line, primary rat spiral ganglion cells and rat organ of Corti explants.

Although cochlear implants have become a well-established method for patients with sensory neural hearing loss, clinical results indicate that in some cases, corrosion of electrode contacts leads to high impedance that interferes with successful stimulation of the auditory nerve. As it is unclear whether corrosion products induce cell damage, we focused on cell culture models of the organ of Corti cell line (HEI-OC1), rat spiral ganglion cells (SGC) and rat organ of Corti explant (OCex) cultivated from neonatal rat cochleae to characterize the cytotoxicity of sodium hexachloroplatinate (IV) (Na2(PtCl6)). The oxidative activity in HEI-OC1 cells decreased with increasing Na2(PtCl6) concentrations between 8 and 16 ng/μl, and live cell staining with Calcein acetoxymethyl/Ethidium homodimer III revealed an increasing number of cells with disrupted membranes.

Sex and thyroid hormones are critical for male reproductive health. However, the associations between haloacetic acid (HAA) exposure - a known endocrine disruptor - and sex and thyroid hormones in humans remains unclear. We thus recruited 502 male participants seeking fertility evaluation from a reproductive center.

Background: Speech restoration is important for communication and social activities after pharyngolaryngectomy in head and neck cancer or corrosive injury. Several techniques of voice restoration have been developed to improve life quality. The aim of this paper was to focus on the microsurgical transfer of ileocolon flap and outcome of further voice rehabilitation.
