Objective: To determine if intermittent neuromuscular electrostimulation (NMES) of the common peroneal nerve increases microvascular flow and pulsatility in and around the wound bed of patients with combined venous and arterial etiology.

Methods: Seven consenting participants presenting with mixed etiology leg ulcers participated in this study. Microvascular flow and pulsatility was measured in the wound bed and in the skin surrounding the wound using laser speckle contrast imaging.

Background: Nasal discharge is one of the cardinal symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis, impacting over 50% of patients. For patients with symptoms refractory to standard medical therapy, endoscopic sinus surgery is an option. The objective of this study is to characterize how nasal discharge improves after surgery in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis.

Prospective motion corrections in brain imaging for MRI are fairly challenging. Monitoring involuntary head movement inside MR scanner is crucial for prospective motion correction. This initial study delves into utilizing simulations to track the head's movements within an MRI scanner, achieved by measuring induced voltage changes from time-varying magnetic field gradients in head-mounted coils.

Posterior nasal nerve surgical neurectomy versus ablation for chronic rhinitis.

Am J Otolaryngol

Introduction: For chronic rhinitis (CR) refractory to medical management, several ablative procedures exist that target the posterior nasal nerve (PNN). Here we compare outcomes of PNN surgical neurectomy to in-office ablative procedures.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients with CR who trialed ipratropium at our center from 2013 to 2024 and received PNN ablation (cryoablation or radiofrequency) or neurectomy.

Background: One of the key steps in arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) is getting the femoral tunnel at the right position to attach the graft. While the correct position has been described as a low and posterior position behind the bifurcate ridge on the medial surface of lateral femoral condyle, to reproducibly achieve it more than one technique is being used by surgeons. There are no randomized studies in literature which have evaluated the efficacy of these in a surgeon's hand.
