The posterior trans-septal portal technique is an arthroscopic surgery of the knee providing surgeons with the ability to fully visualize the posterior compartment. With this procedure, portals are placed at the posteromedial and posterolateral aspect of the knee. Visualization of the medial and lateral posterior compartments then allows working space for the creation of the intra-articular portal that is made by dividing the posterior septum. We provide an imaging overview of the posterior septum, the trans-septal portal technique, possible indications, and introduce how surrounding anatomy may warrant unique imaging considerations.

The sphenoidal sinus septum is one of the most important landmarks during endonasal endoscopic transsphe-noidal operations. During routine coronal sectioning of the face, we found a variant Y-shaped septum in the sphenoidal sinus of a female cadaver. This unusual septum was found between two sections (anterior and posterior sections) and located inferior to the pituitary gland.

Purpose: To determine the clinical effects of urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis on complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture and describe the technical aspects of this procedure.
Materials And Methods: The clinical data for 24 patients who underwent urethral suspension-assisted urethral anastomosis for complex long-segment posterior urethral stricture between March 2021 and March 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. The surgical procedure comprises the following four steps: creation of an inverted Y-shaped incision in the perineum; mobilization of the urethra up to the penile-scrotal junction followed by dissection and separation of the septum of the corpus cavernosum; separation of the inferior pubic symphysis, excising a portion of the inferior pubic symphysis bone tissue and thoroughly clearing the scar tissue surrounding the proximal urethra; and suturing and suspension of the proximal urethra and surrounding tissues at the 2, 5, 7, and 10 o'clock positions, ensuring complete exposure of the proximal urethral mucosa and tension-free anastomosis between the proximal and distal urethra.
Objectives: To evaluate nasal septum changes after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) during the mixed dentition and to verify the association between quantitative and qualitative assessments of nasal septum deviation (NSD) by ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 24 patients (11 male, 13 female) with a mean age of 7.62 ± 0.

Objective: Sarcopenia is a common complication in elderly patients with coronary heart disease (CHD). This study aims to analyse and explore the occurrence of sarcopenia in elderly patients with CHD and its associations with short-term prognosis.
Methods: A total of 318 elderly patients with CHD were enrolled between March 2020 and March 2022.

Background: Few studies have incorporated echocardiography and laboratory data to predict clinical outcomes in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).
Objectives: This study aimed to use machine learning to find predictors of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and cardiovascular (CV) death in HFpEF.
Methods: From the Chang Gung Research Database in Taiwan, 6,092 HFpEF patients (2,898 derivation, 3,194 validation) identified between 2008 and 2017 were followed until 2019.
