Purpose: To compare radiographic parameters of acetabular morphology between standard and modified false-profile (FP) radiographs.

Methods: Standard and modified FP radiographs were obtained in 225 hips in 200 consecutive patients evaluated for hip pain and suspected femoroacetabular impingement. Radiographs were retrospectively reviewed by 2 readers to determine the anterior center-edge angle (ACEA), as assessed to the sourcil and to the bone edge. Inter-rater reliability of radiographic measurements was assessed using the intraclass correlation coefficient. Measurements were evaluated for normality with the Shapiro-Wilk test, averaged between the 2 readers, and compared between views using the paired Wilcoxon test.

Results: The intraclass correlation coefficient values for standard and modified FP views were 0.923 and 0.932, respectively, measuring to the sourcil and 0.867 and 0.896, respectively, measuring to the lateral bone edge. The median difference in ACEA measurements to the sourcil was 1° between the standard and modified FP view (45° vs 44°, P < .001). The median difference in ACEA measurements to the bone edge was 2° (34° vs 32°, P < .001).

Conclusions: Thirty-five degrees of femoral internal rotation for a modified FP hip radiographic view provides similar clinical information regarding acetabular morphology to that of the standard FP view. Given that the modified FP view also provides better visualization of the anterosuperior head-neck junction cam lesion, the modified FP view may be preferred over the standard FP view in evaluation of hip pain in the young patient.

Level Of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

The global changes from 2001 that elevated substantially modified cell therapies to the definition of "medicinal product" have been the catalyst for the dramatic expansion of the field to its current and future commercial success. Europe was the first to incorporate human somatic cells into drug legislation with the medicines directive of 2001 (2001/83/EC), which led to the development of the term "advanced therapy medicinal products" (ATMPs) to cover all substantially modified products, tissue-engineered products and somatic cells that are not substantially modified but that are used non-homologously. For convenience, I use the term "ATMPs" throughout this review.

Controlling the light emitted by individual molecules is instrumental to a number of advanced nanotechnologies ranging from super-resolution bioimaging and molecular sensing to quantum nanophotonics. Molecular emission can be tailored by modifying the local photonic environment, for example, by precisely placing a single molecule inside a plasmonic nanocavity with the help of DNA origami. Here, using this scalable approach, we show that commercial fluorophores may experience giant Purcell factors and Lamb shifts, reaching values on par with those recently reported in scanning tip experiments.

: This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Kaiser score (KS) on the modified abbreviated breast magnetic resonance imaging (AB-MRI) protocol for characterizing breast lesions by comparing it with full-protocol MRI (FP-MRI), using the histological data as the reference standard. : Breast MRIs detecting histologically verified contrast-enhancing breast lesions were evaluated retrospectively. A modified AB-MRI protocol was created from the standard FP-MRI, which comprised axial fat-suppressed T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), pre-contrast T1-weighted imaging (T1WI), and first, second, and fourth post-contrast phases.

Bell's palsy (BP) is a neurological disorder characterized by sudden unilateral peripheral facial paralysis. The etiology in children remains largely unknown, and standardized management strategies are lacking. The aim of this retrospective cohort study is to evaluate clinical features, laboratory markers, and therapeutic options associated with recovery to identify potential prognostic factors and validate therapeutic strategies, with a particular focus on the role of corticosteroids and vitamin supplementation.

Wireless Sensor Network Coverage Optimization Using a Modified Marine Predator Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel)

December 2024

School of Electronics and Information Engineering, Hebei University of Technology, Tianjin 300401, China.

To solve the coverage problem caused by the random deployment of wireless sensor network nodes in the forest fire-monitoring system, a modified marine predator algorithm (MMPA) is proposed. Four modifications have been made based on the standard marine predator algorithm (MPA). Firstly, tent mapping is integrated into the initialization step to improve the searching ability of the early stage.
