Objective: To investigate the stability of internal fixation for femoral neck fracture(FNF) using two or three cannulated screws directed to different fracture lines, and to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical decision making.
Methods: Fifteen fresh frozen human femur samples were selected and the FNF model was established with Pauwels angle of 30°, 50° and 70° respectively. The models were fixed with three or two cannulated screws, and their differences at tensile strength, subsidence, shear strength and composite displacement, gap distance, torsional angle and stiffness values of four types of femur were evaluated to identify their biomechanical stability.
Results: With Pauwels angle of 30° and 50°, no statistical differences at the referenced outcomes were observed between two and three cannulated screw fixation for FNF(>0.05). With the Pauwels angle of 70 °, three cannulated screws fixation were significantly superior to two cannulated screws fixation for FNF(<0.05). Nevertheless, when Pauwels angle was 70°, three cannulated screws fixation turned out to be relative instable compared with Pauwels angle of 30° and 50°.
Conclusions: With Pauwels angle of 30° and 50°, two cannulated screws fixation was similarly stable as using three cannulated screws for FNF. Three cannulated screws fixation were obviously superior to two cannulated screws fixation when Pauwels angle was 70°, but the application of three cannulated screws could still be insufficiently stable when only such routine fixations were utilized. Therefore, Angle Stabilizing System or anti-sliding screws were needed to enhance the stability of FNF fixation.

Predicting Elevated Postvoid Residual Urine Volume Following OnabotulinumtoxinA Treatment for Overactive Bladder: A Pilot Study.
Low Urin Tract Symptoms
January 2025
Allergan, an AbbVie Company, Marlow, UK.
Objectives: To evaluate possible predictors of elevated postvoid residual volume (PVR) following onabotulinumtoxinA administration in patients with idiopathic overactive bladder (OAB), a condition that may include urinary urgency, frequency, and nocturia, without any identifiable cause or underlying neurological or metabolic condition.
Methods: Adults who had been treated with 100-200 U onabotulinumtoxinA for OAB and had previous failure of other OAB treatments were identified by retrospective review of medical chart data from three urology clinics in the United States treating patients with a variety of urological conditions. A total of 211 patients were allocated to cohorts based on posttreatment PVR < 200 mL (n = 173) and ≥ 200 mL (n = 38).
T-branch by partial deployment technique in the endovascular repair of complex aortic and thoracoabdominal aneurysms with narrow or severe angulated para-visceral aorta.

Introduction/aim: The partial deployment technique (PDT) is an unconventional option of T-branch deployment to allow target arteries (TAs) cannulation/stenting from the upper arm access, in case of narrow (NPA: <25mm) or severely angulated (APA: >60°) aorta. Aim of this study was to report outcomes of the endovascular repair of complex aortic (c-AAAs) and thoracoabdominal (TAAAs) aneurysms by T-branch and PDT.
Methods: All consecutive patients underwent urgent endovascular repair of c-AAAs and TAAAs by T-branch (Cook-Medical, Bloomington, IN, US) and PDT from 2021 to 2023 were analyzed.
Enhancing the Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement Using 3D-Printed Screw-Guiding Techniques in the Lumbosacral Region for Small Breed Dogs: A Cadaveric Study.
Animals (Basel)

A 3D-printed guide is an effective method for accurately placing pedicle screws in dog vertebrae. While a conventional drill guide allows precise pilot hole formation, it can lead to potential screw wobbling during insertion. In this study, we applied a technique that assists with both drilling and screw insertion, and we compared the accuracy of screw placement using this approach with that achieved by the conventional drill guide.

Background: Different left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) devices have been introduced into the clinical setting. A new dual-seal mechanism LACbes® occluder with isogenous barbs for LAAC has been designed to facilitate easier delivery and improve safety. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes of the WATCHMAN with those of the LACbes® device for LAAC.

Background: Precapillary pulmonary hypertension (PH) as complication in atrial septal defect (ASD) is closely related to right heart hemodynamics, such as right atrial pressure (RAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR). Right heart catheterization (RHC) as the gold standard for their measurement is invasive and not widely available in Indonesia. Electrocardiography (ECG) was proposed to be alternative in this matter.
