Shunt-Dependent Hydrocephalus After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Investigation of Prognostic Variables and Creation of a Stronger Predictive Model.
World Neurosurg
January 2025
Department of Neurosurgery, Emory University School of Medicine, 1365 Clifton Road NE, Ste. B6200, Atlanta, Georgia, USA 30322; Radiology and Imaging Sciences, Division of Interventional Neuroradiology, Emory University School of Medicine, 1364 Clifton Road NE, AG26, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 30322.
Background: Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) is frequently complicated by permanent shunt-dependent hydrocephalus, but it is difficult to predict which patients are at highest risk.
Objective: This study seeks to identify novel variables associated with shunt dependency after aSAH and to create a predictive algorithm that improves upon existing models.
Methods: Retrospective case control design was used.
Modeling of randomized hepatitis C vaccine trials: Bridging the gap between controlled human infection models and real-word testing.
PNAS Nexus
January 2025
The Program for Experimental & Theoretical Modeling, Division of Hepatology, Department of Medicine, Stritch School of Medicine, Loyola University Chicago, Maywood, IL 60153, USA.
Global elimination of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) remains difficult without an effective vaccine. Since injection drug use is the leading cause of hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission in Western Europe and North America, people who inject drugs (PWID) are an important population for testing HCV vaccine effectiveness in randomized-clinical trials (RCTs). However, RCTs in PWID are inherently challenging.

World J Gastroenterol
January 2025
Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung University College of Medicine, Taoyuan 33305, Taiwan.
Background: Needle-knife precut papillotomy (NKP) is typically performed freehand. However, it remains unclear whether pancreatic stent (PS) placement can improve the outcomes of NKP.
Aim: To explore whether PS placement improves the success rate of NKP in patients with difficult biliary cannulation.
Introducing the forearm fracture index to define the diametaphyseal junction zone through clinical evaluation in a cohort of 366 diametaphyseal radius fractures.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Surgery, Faculty of Medicine and University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus, TUD Dresden University of Technology, Fetscherstraße, 74, 01307, Dresden, Germany.
Background: Unstable diametaphyseal radius fractures (DMRFs) can be prone to complications, and treatment strategies are heterogeneous. Studies are difficult to interpret as definitions of the diametaphyseal junction zone (DMJZ) are impractical for clinical use, imprecise, or prone to error.
Methods: We introduce the forearm fracture index (FFI) to define DMRFs in radiographs and ultrasound.
High takeoff of the right coronary artery by echocardiography: normal variant or something more?
Cardiol Young
January 2025
Congenital Heart Center, Division of Pediatric Cardiology, Department of Pediatrics, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL, USA.
Purpose: High takeoff of the right coronary artery suspected by echocardiography is widely considered a normal variant. However, in our experience, some patients initially thought to have a high takeoff of the coronary artery were later found to have an anomalous coronary origin with high-risk features. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that high takeoff of the right coronary artery suspected by echocardiography may indicate the presence of an anomalous coronary artery lesion with an intramural course requiring further investigation.
