Background: The Google Glass™ heads-up-display system has been adopted by the medical field for applications such as image capture, live streaming and decision support.
Methods: We designed a custom application for Google Glass™ called Surgery Viewer to capture patient images and securely transfer them to the electronic medical record. Surgery Viewer was compared to a standard digital camera and an Apple iOS device using another image capture application. Comparative workflow metrics included timings of image capture and a usability survey.
Results: Ten patients were studied in operating room and wound clinic settings. Average times to log in (Surgery Viewer, Image Capture™) or turn on (digital camera) were 18.39 s, 9.91 s and 2.11 s for Surgery Viewer, Image Capture™ and digital camera, respectively. In the operating room, the average times to select the correct patient were 3.06 s, 14.77 s and 4.45 s for Surgery Viewer, Image Capture™ and digital camera, respectively. Average image capture times were 8.67 s, 7.77 s and 7.60 s for Surgery Viewer, Image Capture™ and digital camera, respectively. Images captured by Surgery Viewer and Image Capture™ were instantaneously uploaded to the electronic medical record, but digital camera images took on average 1522 s to be uploaded. In the wound clinic, the average times to select the correct patient were 16.29 s, 7.35 s and 4.63 s for Surgery Viewer, Image Capture™ and digital camera, respectively. Image capture times were 9.55 s, 5.28 s and 3.47 s, respectively. Digital camera took on average 27,758 s to upload.
Conclusion: Surgery Viewer performed equivalently with Image Capture™ while digital camera took longer to upload. Users found the application easy to learn with Surgery Viewer concerns, including log on procedure, ambient distraction from voice recognition, viewfinder perspective and battery life.

Objectives: To investigate and compare the educational value of the most popular testimonials between TikTok (TT) and YouTube (YT), and to classify the emotional response of viewers through sentiment analysis of video comments on both platforms involving orthodontic patients who will undergo orthognathic surgery.
Materials And Methods: Two distinct social media searches were conducted using specific search phrases on TT and YT. For each search phrase, 30 videos were gathered from each platform, and details such as number of views, likes, and comments were recorded for each video.
Bibliometric Analysis of Global Pediatric Research on Cow's Milk Protein Allergy.

Department of Pediatric Gastroenterology, Fuzhou Children's Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, Fujian, People's Republic of China.
Background: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is a prevalent food allergy in early childhood, significantly impacting the quality of life for affected children. Current palliative measures, such as specialized formula milk, offer temporary relief but are costly and fail to address the underlying issue. Thus, there is a critical need to better understand CMPA and explore new treatment options.

From the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Nippon Medical School Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Soft tissue defects on the palm side of the thumb can be effectively covered by using the radial midpalmar (RMP) flap, which is usually harvested as a pedicled flap. However, previous anatomical studies on this flap are limited. We analyzed multidetector-row computed tomography angiograms of the radial midpalm of hands to more precisely characterize the 3-dimensional anatomical structure of the perforators in living patients.

The Third Orthopedic Department, the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University, Harbin Heilongjiang, 150001, P. R. China.
Objective: To measure and analyze the relationships among the posterior tibial slope (PTS), meniscal slope (MS), and meniscus posterior horn thickness (MPHT) of the medial and lateral tibial plateau in healthy people and patients with anteromedial osteoarthritis (AMOA) in Heilongjiang province, so as to provide reference basis for appropriate tibial osteotomy and prosthesis placement angles in knee joint surgeries.
Methods: A retrospective collection of imaging data from knee joint MRI examinations conducted prior to AMOA for various reasons was performed. A total of 103 healthy individuals (healthy group) and 30 AMOA patients (AMOA group) were included.
Surgical Repair of Double Outlet Right Ventricle Infants Guided by Three Dimensional-Computed Tomography Cardiac Modeling and Printing.
World J Pediatr Congenit Heart Surg

Cardiothoracic Surgery, Rady Children's Hospital San Diego, San Diego, CA, USA.
Background: Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) is a challenging congenital cardiac lesion to surgically master. We utilize computed tomography-guided-three-dimensional (3D) modeling/printing and novel in-house software to delineate anatomical relationships providing operative insight into the surgical approach. Our intent is to highlight this and showcase our technology.
