This article describes a method of arthroscopic subscapular tenodesis of the long head of the biceps tendon using a single anterolateral portal, making it a minimally invasive procedure. This method is done by using the Swivelock tenodesis anchor with forked tip PEEK Eyelet from Arthrex, which enables anatomically stable fixation of the biceps tendon with a relatively decreased rate of complications.

Introduction: Vocal symptoms are frequent in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and may occur during or after infection.
Objective: To conduct a descriptive review on the topic "dysphonia and COVID-19" in order to alert specialists to these symptoms associated with the virus and sequelae.
Methodology: A literature review was carried out in the main databases: Web of Science, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Scopus, between April 2020 and April 2024 using descriptors that related COVID-19 or severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2) to voice disorders.

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a complex immunological disease associated with significant morbidity and reduced health-related quality of life. Dupilumab is an anti-T2-inflammatory biological drug registered for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, indicated by integrated care pathways when optimal medico-surgical treatment yields insufficient control of sinonasal symptoms.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to confirm the long-term efficacy of dupilumab in the treatment of severe uncontrolled CRSwNP.

Cognitive Radio (CR) technology enables wireless devices to learn about their surrounding spectrum environment through sensing capabilities, thereby facilitating efficient spectrum utilization without interfering with the normal operation of licensed users. This study aims to enhance spectrum sensing in multi-user cooperative cognitive radio systems by leveraging a hybrid model that combines Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. A novel multi-user cooperative spectrum sensing model is developed, utilizing CNN's local feature extraction capability and LSTM's advantage in handling sequential data to optimize sensing accuracy and efficiency.

Objectives: Chronic pancreatitis is a debilitating and progressive inflammatory disease with an altered quality of life due to severe abdominal pain. Pancreaticoduodenectomy is a surgical option for patients with bulky disease involving the head of the pancreas, especially when this disease has progressed to stricture of the bile duct, duodenum, or both. A long term issue associated with this procedure is stricture of the pancreatic anastomosis.

Objective: Superior vena cava syndrome (SVC) is a debilitating disease, and surgical reconstruction has been described with some of the best results using spiral great saphenous vein (SGSV) grafts. SGSV grafts can be difficult to construct, and a long segment of saphenous vein is needed. Femoral vein has been an excellent conduit for infected aortic and peripheral reconstructions in our hands, and we sought to review outcomes using this conduit for SVC reconstruction.
