Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the comparative effectiveness of the use of single fluoroscopy versus double fluoroscopy during intramedullary nailing in the oblique position for intertrochanteric femur fractures in terms of surgery and radiation time.
Methods: Fifty-two patients (20 men, 32 women; average age: 78.2 years; range: 69-88 years) were included in the study. While double fluoroscopy was used for 25 patients, single fluoroscopy was used for the remaining 27 patients. Data of the preparation time between anesthesia and surgery, surgery time, radiation time, bleeding volume, postoperative collodiaphyseal angle between the fractures and intact parts, and the tip-apex distance (TAD) were compared.
Results: The surgery time in the double and single fluoroscopy groups averaged 34.48±8.92 minutes and 50.37±16.63 minutes, respectively (p<0.01). The radiation time was 42.72±16.00 seconds for the double-fluoroscopy group and 68.22±21.53 seconds for the single-fluoroscopy group (p<0.01). The surgical preparation time, bleeding volume, collodiaphyseal angle and TAD distance did not vary significantly between groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The use of double fluoroscopy in the oblique position in the surgical treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures reduced the surgical time and the anesthesia time for patients, as well as the exposure to radiation, thereby also reducing the risk of complications.

Remnant Stomach Influx Reduces Esophageal Reflux and Malnutrition After Proximal Gastrectomy With Double Tract Reconstruction.
Cancer Diagn Progn
January 2025
Department of Breast and Endocrine Surgery, Mitsui Memorial Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- This study examines how food passage routes after a specific stomach surgery, called proximal gastrectomy with double-tract reconstruction (PGDT), affect postoperative complications like esophageal reflux and malnutrition.
- Patients were divided into two groups based on their food passage routes (remnant stomach influx - RSI vs. jejunal-loop - JL) and were analyzed for various health metrics and outcomes.
- The findings revealed that the RSI group experienced less reflux and better retention of body metrics, suggesting that improving the food passage route can help reduce reflux and malnutrition after surgery.
First Experience with Endovascular Treatment of Cerebral Aneurysms Using Sub-Marker Catheter.

Department of Neurosurgery, Tokai University School of Medicine, Isehara, Kanagawa, Japan.
Objective: Prehension of the position of the microcatheter tip under fluoroscopy during cerebral aneurysm embolization is critical to prevent intraoperative rupture of the aneurysm, even if the first marker at the tip is obscured by coils in the aneurysm. This study presents our initial experience with a sub-marker catheter, which includes an additional marker positioned 5 mm from the tip, designed to facilitate accurate positioning of the microcatheter tip.
Methods: We analyzed cases of cerebral aneurysms treated with sub-marker catheters at our hospital from July 2022 to September 2023.
Intra-articular corticosteroid injections versus platelet-rich plasma as a treatment for cervical facetogenic pain: a randomized clinical trial.

Parkwood Institute, London, Ontario, Canada.
Objective: The study's primary objective was to compare the effectiveness of intra-articular platelet-rich plasma injections versus corticosteroid injections for the treatment of cervical facetogenic pain. Secondary aims were to compare self-rated disability, pain self-efficacy, and the safety of the procedure between groups.
Methods: A single-site randomized double-blind controlled trial with 40 participants assigned to receive either leucocyte-poor, low-concentrate platelet-rich plasma injections or corticosteroid injection without local anesthetic into the cervical facet joint under fluoroscopy.
Neo-Omphaloplasty within a Vertical Scar: The Double Trapezium Flap Technique.
J Clin Med
September 2024
Department of Hand and Plastic Surgery, Thurgau Hospital Group, 8500 Frauenfeld, Switzerland.
Various techniques for neo-omphaloplasty (or umbilicoplasty/umbiliconeoplasty) have been established in recent decades. However, when the omphaloplasty must be integrated into a vertical scar, most of these techniques are unsuitable. We established a technique comprising two "cross-border" trapezium flaps that come together in a key-lock fashion to be applicable for umbilical reconstruction in vertical scars.

Introduction: There are conflicting results in the literature regarding the efficacy of retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) in lower pole stones. This study aimed to evaluate RIRS outcomes in lower pole stones by forming matched case-control groups.
Methods: The data of 491 patients who were diagnosed with kidney stones and underwent RIRS were retrospectively included in the study.
