Background: Motor neuron disease includes a spectrum of neurodegenerative diseases with progressive courses and unfavorable prognoses. Here, we described a patient with a lumbar disc herniation (LDH) and isolated bulbar palsy (IBP), who successfully underwent a transforaminal full-endoscopic discectomy (TFED) without incurring the added risks of general anesthesia.
Case Description: A 58-year-old male with IBP had an LDH at the L4-L5 level. Avoiding general anesthesia, a TFED was successfully performed under local anesthesia with mild sedation. There were no perioperative complications, and the patient was discharged on the 1 postoperative day. The patient experienced complete relief of radicular symptomatology 1 year postoperatively.
Conclusion: Here, we present a rare instance of a patient with IBP who successfully underwent a TFED for an LDH performed under local anesthesia utilizing mild sedation, avoiding the risks of general anesthesia.

Injury Patterns, Imaging Findings, and Prognosis for Muscle Strength Recovery in Surgical Infraclavicular Brachial Plexus Injuries.
J Hand Surg Glob Online
November 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, Hand and Upper Extremity Service, New York, NY.
Purpose: Historically, infraclavicular brachial plexus injuries (IBPIs) were considered neuropraxic injuries that would improve with nonsurgical intervention. However, more recent studies suggest that these injuries may benefit from surgical intervention. The aims of this retrospective study were to (1) describe injury patterns and associated injuries of isolated, traumatic IBPIs, (2) evaluate the concordance of preoperative ultrasound and magnetic resonance neurography with surgical findings of patients who underwent surgical intervention for IBPIs, and (3) describe outcomes of surgical intervention for these injuries.

Plast Reconstr Surg Glob Open
December 2024
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Nagoya University, Nagoya, Japan.
Background: In breast reconstruction using the abdominal perforator flap, if the flap capacity is too large, secondary revision procedures can be performed to reduce flap volume and reconstruct the inframammary fold (IMF). We examined the various revision methods and cosmetic results.
Methods: This study included 28 patients who underwent secondary revision among 216 patients who had breast reconstruction using the abdominal perforator flap between April 2012 and March 2019.

Background And Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of intrabiliary pressure (IBP) in the pathophysiology of extrahepatic biliary obstruction (EHBO) during percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD).
Materials And Methods: Adult patients with EHBO who underwent PTBD were prospectively enrolled. IBP was recorded during primary PTBD.
Effect of thermal cycling on the flexure strength of CAD-CAM denture base materials: An in vitro study.

Statement Of Problem: The impact of thermal cycling on the flexure strength of contemporary denture base materials remains inadequately understood despite its crucial role in determining the long-term performance of complete dentures.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the flexural strength of different CAD-CAM denture base materials and the effects of thermal cycling.
Material And Methods: A total of 120 rectangular specimens were fabricated from 6 denture base materials according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 20795-1:2013 standard: a heat-compressed PMMA ([Lucitone 199 [C-L199]), 2 brands of milled material (Ivotion Base [M-IB] and Lucitone Digital Fit [M-LDF]), and 3 types of 3- dimensionally (3D) printed material (Lucitone Digital Print [P-LDP], Flexcera Base [P-FB], and FotoDent Dentures [P-FD]).
