An increasing number of functional brain imaging studies are employing computer-based virtual reality (VR) to study changes in brain activity during the performance of high-level psychological and cognitive tasks. We report the development of a VR radial arm maze that adapts for human use in a scanning environment with the same general experimental design of behavioral tasks as that has been used with remarkable effectiveness for the study of multiple memory systems in rodents. The software platform is independent of specific computer hardware and operating systems, as we aim to provide shared access to this technology by the research community. We hope that doing so will provide greater standardization of software platform and study paradigm that will reduce variability and improve the comparability of findings across studies. We report the details of the design and implementation of this platform and provide information for downloading of the system for demonstration and research applications.

Role of Free Flaps in Facial Burn Reconstructions.
Indian J Plast Surg
December 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India.
Traditionally, burn reconstructions have been performed by the use of skin grafting or local flaps. Recently free flaps are being used with increasing frequency. Although not very common in the head neck region, free flaps are mostly used for secondary reconstructions of cervicofacial contractures.

Department of Pain, Yanbian University Hospital, No. 119, Juzi Street, Yanji, Jilin, 133000, China.
Purpose: The purpose of this case report is to present an anatomical variation of the radial artery observed in anatomical practice and to discuss its clinical significance.
Methods: During the dissection of the right upper limb of a Chinese adult male, a high-position variation of the right radial artery with the absence of the radial recurrent artery was found.
Results: The variant branch of the right radial artery originates from the brachial artery and arises medially in the upper one-third of the arm.
A new distal radius fracture classification depending on the specific fragments through machine learning clustering method.

Orthopedics Department, Affiliated Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University, Bejing, China.
Purposes: The objective of this study was to investigate intra-articular distal radius fractures, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of fracture patterns and discuss the corresponding treatment strategies for each pattern.
Methods: 294 cases of intra-articular distal radius fractures lines were collected and clustered thorough K-means and hierarchical clustering algorithm. The demographic data of patients and the clinical treatment outcomes were recorded.
Intra-neural Ewing Sarcoma of the Radial Nerve Presenting as Wrist.
J West Afr Coll Surg
August 2024
Department of Surgical Oncology, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India.
Intra-neural Ewing sarcoma is an extremely rare tumour and only a few isolated case reports exist in the literature. A 32-year-old South Asian male presented with wrist and finger drops of 3 months duration. Further evaluation with ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a tumour of the radial nerve in the arm.
