Bone and soft tissue sarcomas of the upper extremity are relatively uncommon. In many cases, they are discovered incidentally during evaluation of traumatic injuries or common ailments such as rotator cuff tendonitis or tennis elbow. Thus, it is important for all orthopedic surgeons to understand the differential diagnosis, workup, and treatment for upper extremity lesions. An appreciation of the clinical and radiographic features of primary malignant lesions aids in identifying patients that need referral to an orthopedic oncologist and a multidisciplinary team.

Dorsoradial ligament reconstruction versus imbrication for restoring trapeziometacarpal joint stability: a comparative biomechanical study.
Sci Rep

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, South Korea.
The unique saddle articulation of the trapeziometacarpal joint allows for a wide range of motion necessary for routine function of the thumb. Inherently unstable characteristics of the joint can lead painful instability. In this study, we modified a surgical dorsal ligament reconstruction technique for restoring trapeziometacarpal joint stability.

Hospital-acquired infection (HAI) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) represent major challenges in healthcare system. Despite numerous studies have assessed environmental and patient samples, very few studies have explored the microbiome and resistome profiles of medical staff including nursing workers. This cross-sectional study was performed in a tertiary hospital in China and involved 25 nurses (NSs), 25 nursing workers (NWs), and 55 non-medical control (NC).

Sci Rep
December 2024
Department of Electrical Engineering, Amirkabir University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
Surface electromyography (sEMG) data has been extensively utilized in deep learning algorithms for hand movement classification. This paper aims to introduce a novel method for hand gesture classification using sEMG data, addressing accuracy challenges seen in previous studies. We propose a U-Net architecture incorporating a MobileNetV2 encoder, enhanced by a novel Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) and metaheuristic optimization for spatial feature extraction in hand gesture and motion recognition.

Ann Vasc Surg
December 2024
Department of Surgery, University of Florida, Jacksonville, FL.
Objectives: Our objective was to determine risk factors and operative outcomes for patients with upper extremity penetrating vascular injuries(UEPVI).
Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all adult UEPVI patients presenting to a level I trauma center between 1986 and 2019. Statistical analyses were performed to determine the independent predictors of mortality and hospital length of stay(LOS) among patients who underwent operative repair.
