Purpose: This cross-sectional study explored how the speechreading ability of adults with hearing impairment (HI) in China would affect their perception of the four Mandarin Chinese lexical tones: high (Tone 1), rising (Tone 2), falling-rising (Tone 3), and falling (Tone 4). We predicted that higher speechreading ability would result in better tone performance and that accuracy would vary among individual tones.

Method: A total of 136 young adults with HI (ages 18-25 years) in China participated in the study and completed Chinese speechreading and tone awareness tests.

Purpose: To analyse anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) parameters of graft dehiscence after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) for graft failure post penetrating keratoplasty (PK).

Methods: Retrospective evaluation of AS-OCT images of 142 dehiscences post-DMEK in 75 eyes. Dehiscences' size, depth, location, correlation with graft-host interface (GHI) override and step at GHI were assessed.

Ultrasound-guided minimally invasive thread release of carpal tunnel: a cadaveric study.

Radiol Med

January 2025

Neuromuscular Imaging Ordinationszentrum Döbling, Heiligenstädter Straße 46-48, 1190, Vienna, Austria.

Purpose: Thread release of the carpal tunnel is the most recent of several minimally invasive ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel release techniques. The purpose of this article is to provide a step-by-step guide for minimally invasive, ultrasound-guided thread release of the carpal tunnel focused on transecting the transverse carpal ligament with minimal damage to the palmar aponeurosis on anatomical specimens.

Methods: Fifteen ultrasound-guided carpal tunnel thread releases were performed on the wrists of soft-embalmed anatomical specimens, which were dissected immediately after the intervention.
