Published: August 2021

Even though posterior or postero-lateral dislocations of elbow are more common, both isolated medial and lateral dislocations of elbow are extremely uncommon. Since there are subtle findings and minimum pain after medial dislocation of elbow, these are sometimes missed by attending physician at first presentation and changes into chronic type with guarded prognosis. We report a case of a 15-year old boy with isolated medial dislocation of elbow which was correctly identified and treated with closed reduction and posterior slab application. Flexion extension as well as supination pronation of elbow 3 months after injury was nearly normal.

The human cerebral cortex is known for its hemispheric specialization, which underpins a variety of functions and activities. However, it is not well understood if similar lateralization exists within the deep gray matter nuclei, such as the basal ganglia (BG) and thalamus, and their associated arteries, including the lenticulostriate arteries (LSAs). To explore this, we analyzed images from 7T MRI scans of 40 healthy young individuals.

Department of Oculoplastic, Orbital & Lacrimal Surgery, Aichi Medical University Hospital, 1-1 Yazako-Karimata, Nagakute, Aichi, 480-1195, Japan.

Purpose: To define the anatomical variance between orbital floor and medial orbital wall blowout fractures, and its change with age.

Methods: This was a retrospective, observational study analyzing data from 557 patients with isolated blowout fractures of the orbital floor or medial orbital wall. Axial and quasi-sagittal CT images were analyzed to compare radiologic data on orbital wall morphology between fracture site groups and among age groups.

Background: The brain undergoes structural changes during aging, such as gray matter loss, enlarged ventricles, and sulcal widening. However, previous studies have primarily investigated these changes in isolation, without describing the complex spatial relationships between overall brain shape and regions. Here, we tested how gradients of expansion and compression of the global shape of the brain as well as between homologous brain regions across hemispheres are affected by age, and whether these changes further contribute to clinical impairment and cognitive deficits in older adults.

Background: Tau pathology is closely related to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neurodegeneration is the putative mechanism by which tau leads to cognitive deficits. However, there is limited work on the associations between tau, neurodegeneration, and specific cognitive domains.

Plantar fasciitis (PF), a common cause of heel pain, primarily results from inflammation of the plantar fascia due to excessive strain. Its complex pathophysiology, influenced by various biomechanical factors, has led to the development of diverse surgical techniques. Most of these techniques, when used in isolation, have shown benefits in treating refractory PF.
