Background: Our purpose was to evaluate I-gel™ sizes 1 and 1.5.
Methods: I-gel™ insertion was attempted in 60 children<2 years of age undergoing short elective surgery. The main endpoints were the determination of independent factors associated with successful first attempt insertion and those associated with uneventful anaesthesia (i.e. no adverse events during insertion or during the intraoperative period of removal).
Results: Size 1 and size 1.5 I-gel™ devices were used (intraoperatively) in 33 and 27 cases, respectively. Median age and weight were 3 (1-12) months and 4.97 (4.00-9.00) kg. Ventilation modes were spontaneous breathing (8.3%), pressure support (45%), controlled pressure (15%) or volume (31.7%) ventilation. I-gel™ insertion was successful on the first attempt in 45 cases (75%). A time between induction and insertion>11min (OR: 4.85 [1.08-21.77]) and age<6 months (OR: 5.501 [1.20-16.8]) were identified as the independent factors of successful first attempt insertion (AUC: 0.715). Adverse events were reported in 35 (58.3%) cases, during insertion in 18 (30%) cases, during the intraoperative period in 25 (41.7%) cases and/or during recovery in 3 (5.08%) cases. Age<6 months (OR: 4.497 [1.197-16.89]) and I-gel™ removal in the operating room (OR: 6.034 [1.153-31.577]) were identified as independent factors associated with uneventful anaesthesia (AUC: 0.761).
Conclusion: I-gel™ sizes 1 and 1.5 were interesting alternatives to intubation with all ventilation modes. However, the high incidence of adverse events calls for careful monitoring. The superiority of removal under anaesthesia must be confirmed.

A case series on the basic concept and design of removable partial dentures: support and bracing considerations.

Background: When designing removable partial dentures, maximizing the effectiveness of support and bracing is necessary to minimize denture movement. Therefore, it is essential to emphasize the importance of providing patients with appropriate, safe, and secure removable partial dentures and have clinicians rerecognize the concept and importance of support and bracing. This study aimed to present extension-base removable partial dentures through six specific clinical case series and describe the effect of support and bracing action on denture design, which is essential for denture movement minimization.

Department of Ophthalmology, The Second Hospital of Jilin University, Changchun, Jilin, China.
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and complications of simplified graded inferior oblique anterior transposition (IOAT) in treating at least 10 PD vertical deviation in the primary position and inferior oblique muscle overaction (IOOA).
Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 65 patients treated with simplified graded IOAT procedures for both vertical deviation and IOOA. Patients were grouped according to vertical deviation in the primary position.
Drainage from intentional extramacular holes after internal limiting membrane insertion to treat macular hole retinal detachment in highly myopic eyes.
Int Ophthalmol
January 2025
Department of Ophthalmology, Central Theater General Hospital, 627 Wuluo Road, Wuhan, 430070, China.
Purpose: The purpose is to evaluate the effect of drainage from intentional extramacular holes after internal limiting membrane insertion to treat macular hole retinal detachment (MHRD) in highly myopic eyes.
Methods: This study is a retrospective, observational, and comparative case series that included 25 consecutive highly myopic eyes with MHRD. All eyes underwent standard 23-gauge vitrectomy, inverted internal limiting membrane insertion into the macular hole, subretinal fluid drainage from an intentionally created extramacular retinal hole, and tamponade with either silicone oil (SO group, n = 13) or perfluoropropane (CF group, n = 12).
Resolving the molecular basis of a Mendelian condition remains challenging owing to the diverse mechanisms by which genetic variants cause disease. To address this, we developed a synchronized long-read genome, methylome, epigenome and transcriptome sequencing approach, which enables accurate single-nucleotide, insertion-deletion and structural variant calling and diploid de novo genome assembly. This permits the simultaneous elucidation of haplotype-resolved CpG methylation, chromatin accessibility and full-length transcript information in a single long-read sequencing run.
