We present a new, scarless, circular incisional approach around the umbilical cord for neonates with intestinal atresia. This novel approach achieves truly woundless surgery. It is simple, safe, and can be used for an intestinal surgical treatment in neonates.

Traumatic injury remains a leading cause of death worldwide, with traumatic bleeding being one of its most critical and fatal consequences. The use of whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) in trauma management has rapidly expanded. However, interpreting WBCT images within the limited time available before treatment is particularly challenging for acute care physicians.

Objective: Conventional decompression surgery for beak-type ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament (OPLL) of the thoracic spine, whether approached anteriorly or posteriorly, poses several challenges, including technical complexity, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, incomplete decompression, and potential neurological deterioration. Therefore, the authors introduce a novel technique, anterior sliding decompression osteotomy (ASDO), for thoracic myelopathy caused by OPLL and evaluate the efficacy and safety of this technique.
Methods: Six patients (4 men and 2 women) who underwent ASDO surgery for beak-type OPLL in the thoracic spine with a follow-up period of at least 2 years were included in the cohort.
Amphibian-Derived Peptides as Natural Inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease (Mpro): A Combined In Vitro and In Silico Approach.

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, has highlighted the urgent need for novel therapeutic agents targeting viral enzymes such as the main protease (Mpro), which plays a crucial role in viral replication. In this study, we investigate the inhibitory potential of 23 peptides isolated from the skin of amphibians belonging to the Hylidae and Leptodactylidae families against SARS-CoV-2 Mpro. Five peptides demonstrated significant inhibition using a colorimetric Mpro inhibition assay, with IC50 values ranging from 41 to 203 µM.

Division of General Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, 200 First St SW, Rochester, US.
Background: Virtual patients (VPs) are computer screen-based simulations of patient-clinician encounters. VP use is limited by cost and low scalability.
Objective: Show proof-of-concept that VPs powered by large language models (LLMs) generate authentic dialogs, accurate representations of patient preferences, and personalized feedback on clinical performance; and explore LLMs for rating dialog and feedback quality.
