Purpose: To introduce a new surgical technique that can keep constant intraocular pressure of the eyeball during peeling epiretinal membrane under silicone oil status.
Methods: A viscoelastic agent was injected into the air pump of the constellation system via the metal tip. This procedure offers a buffer zone to keep constant pressure within the eyeball without disturbing the surgical field by an air bubble.
Results: Three cases were performed efficiently (15 ± 5 minutes) under this technique with improvement in anatomical feature and visual function after the surgery.
Conclusion: Using this simple yet important technique can provide us the constant intraocular pressure without hypotony and avoid the traditional complicated procedures.

Investigating causal relationship among inflammatory cytokines and oropharyngeal cancer: Mendelian randomization.
Discov Oncol
January 2025
Department of Stomatology, Hangzhou Linping District First People's Hospital, Hangzhou, China.
Objectives: This study aims to use Mendelian randomisation to identify the causal relationship between a spectrum of 41 inflammatory cytokines and the development of oropharyngeal cancer.
Methods: This study investigated genetic variants that have been associated with oral and oropharyngeal cancer using data from a large GWAS. Inflammatory cytokine data were obtained from 8293 asymptomatic individuals.
Masquelet's induced membrane technique in the upper limb: a systematic review of the current outcomes.

Background: The Masquelet induced membrane technique is a surgical procedure that allows the reconstruction of segmental bone defects using a relatively simple approach that requires minimal resources from both the healthcare facility and the patient. Historically applied to the lower limb, this technique is gaining increasing attention in the literature for its use in the upper limb.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted using the PubMed and Google Scholar databases to identify all studies reporting the outcomes of the Masquelet induced membrane technique in the long bones of the upper limb (humerus, radius, and ulna) with a sample size of at least 3 patients.
Innovative technique of corking the lumen of an intraoperatively decompressed turgid gall bladder with surgical gauze to prevent gall bladder stone/bile spillage during a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Technical difficulties are often encountered in a laparoscopic cholecystectomy where a tense/distended/ turgid gall bladder prevents the surgeon from grasping the gall bladder properly which therefore necessitates the decompression of the turgid gall bladder. However, even if intraoperative decompression is done, the spillage of remnant stones, bile or fluid from the gall bladder is a possibility which can lead to undue complications. This is where following the simple technique of using a gauze piece with a radio-opaque marker to occlude the decompression puncture site helps in performing a safe decompression thereby preventing bile, fluid or stone spillage.

, a slow-growing nontuberculous mycobacterium, causes Buruli ulcer, a neglected tropical disease. Distinguishing from related species, including , poses challenges with respect to making accurate identifications. In this study, we developed a rapid and simple identification method based on mycobacterial lipid profiles and used matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) to analyze the lipid profiles of ( = 35) and ( = 19) isolates.

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing a simpler (hemiarch) vs complex (zone 2 arch) aortic repair for acute type A aortic dissection (TAAD).
Methods: Adults (≥18 years) who underwent hemiarch or zone 2 arch repair for acute, hyperacute, or acute on chronic TAAD at a single institution between January 2018 and April 2024 were reviewed. Disabling stroke was defined as modified Rankin scale ≥4.
