Combined lateral condyle mass and olecranon fractures are infrequently seen. These cases are easily missed, and only 12 previous cases are detailed in the English medical literature. The decision for surgical fixation usually depends on the amount of displacement of the individual fractures. However, the optimal surgical approach or technique for open reduction and internal fixation has not been agreed upon. We present three original case reports and analyse them together with all other known cases in the English literature. We discuss how to avoid missing these combined fractures and propose a treatment algorithm based on the different permutations of the fracture displacement. Our detailed surgical approach (using a posterior 'olecranon osteotomy' approach) is also described.

Background: Tooth agenesis, particularly the absence of upper lateral incisors, presents substantial challenges for clinicians due to the associated bone atrophy, which limits the use of traditional implant solutions. Current options, such as endosseous implants combined with guided bone regeneration (GBR), often fail due to insufficient osseointegration in atrophic bone. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of custom-made, additively manufactured subperiosteal implants in addressing these challenges METHODS: This retrospective study assessed 16 custom-made subperiosteal implants used in 12 patients (10 females, 2 males; mean age 25 ± 2.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Jieyu I Formula (JY-I) is an improved version of the classic formula "Sini San" documented in the books Shanghan Lun, which is known for regulating the liver and treating depression. However, the disturbance of neuronal signal transmission in the neural circuit of the brain is closely related to the occurrence of depression, yet its neural mechanism is still unclear.
Aim Of The Study: This study aimed to observe the antidepressant effect of JY-I on depressed mice induced by lipopolysaccharide and its underlying central nervous system mechanisms, focusing on the prefrontal cortex (PFC) to lateral habenular nucleus (LHb) neural circuit in the depressed mice model.

Tissue selective ultrasonic debridement is a new method of debriding chronic wounds that prepares the wound for advanced tissue application. This article presents the case of an 89-year-old woman with a chronic nonhealing wound to her lateral distal leg. The wound had a significant amount of biofilm and fibrous slough.

Objectives: To compare the curve flexibility in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) using supine traction push-prone and push-prone traction radiographs and to determine which method is more effective in predicting the postsurgical correction.
Background: Preserving spinal motion is one of the critical objectives in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) surgery.

Unlabelled: Bovine herpesvirus (BoHV) infection poses a significant threat to the healthy development of the cattle industry. BoHV-1 primarily causes infectious bovine rhinotracheitis, while BoHV-5 is associated with bovine necrotic meningoencephalitis. These two pathogens not only exhibit a high correlation in antigenicity and genetic background but, more importantly, can establish latent infections within the bovine ganglion.
