We report on the functional connectivity (FC), its intraclass correlation (ICC), and heritability among 70 areas of the human cerebral cortex. FC was estimated as the Pearson correlation between averaged prewhitened Blood Oxygenation Level-Dependent time series of cortical areas in 988 young adult participants in the Human Connectome Project. Pairs of areas were assigned to three groups, namely homotopic (same area in the two hemispheres), ipsilateral (both areas in the same hemisphere), and heterotopic (nonhomotopic areas in different hemispheres). ICC for each pair of areas was computed for six genetic groups, namely monozygotic (MZ) twins, dizygotic (DZ) twins, singleton siblings of MZ twins (MZsb), singleton siblings of DZ twins (DZsb), non-twin siblings (SB), and unrelated individuals (UNR). With respect to FC, we found the following. (a) Homotopic FC was stronger than ipsilateral and heterotopic FC; (b) average FCs of left and right cortical areas were highly and positively correlated; and (c) FC varied in a systematic fashion along the anterior-posterior and inferior-superior dimensions, such that it increased from anterior to posterior and from inferior to superior. With respect to ICC, we found the following. (a) Homotopic ICC was significantly higher than ipsilateral and heterotopic ICC, but the latter two did not differ significantly from each other; (b) ICC was highest for MZ twins; (c) ICC of DZ twins was significantly lower than that of the MZ twins and higher than that of the three sibling groups (MZsb, DZsb, SB); and (d) ICC was close to zero for UNR. Finally, with respect to heritability, it was highest for homotopic areas, followed by ipsilateral, and heterotopic; however, it did not differ statistically significantly from each other.

Convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage revealed contralateral internal carotid artery dissection due to Eagle syndrome: a case report.
BMC Neurol
October 2024
Department of Neurology, TOYOTA Memorial Hospital, Toyota, Aichi, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Atraumatic localized convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is a rare type of bleeding in the brain that can be caused by issues like internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD), particularly when associated with a condition known as Eagle syndrome, characterized by an elongated styloid process (ESP).
- A case involving a 47-year-old woman revealed cSAH along with ICAD and an ESP, leading to the diagnosis of Eagle syndrome; despite severe headaches and imaging challenges, the causes were identified and treated conservatively.
- The findings underscore the importance of thorough investigation in cSAH cases, as recognizing conditions like Eagle syndrome can lead to better patient outcomes and prevent
When the Going Gets Tough: A Review of Total Hip Arthroplasty in Patients with Ipsilateral Above- and Below-Knee Amputation.
Medicina (Kaunas)
September 2024
Orthopedic and Traumatology Clinic, IRCCS Rizzoli Orthopedic Institute, Via G.C. Pupilli 1, 40136 Bologna, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- Life expectancy and overall function of amputated patients have improved, leading to a higher incidence of hip issues requiring total hip arthroplasty (THA), but not all surgeons are adequately trained for these cases.
- This review analyzes 17 manuscripts, documenting 39 cases of THA in amputees, highlighting differences between above-knee amputations (AKA) and below-knee amputations (BKA) and emphasizing the need for careful planning and rehabilitation considerations before surgery.
- Patients with BKA often have higher functional demands post-surgery, requiring precise component positioning and intensive physiotherapy, while AKA patients may present unique challenges due to the lack of a knee joint and varying levels of mobility.
Nonoperative Management of High Ankle Sprains: A Case Series With ≥18-Year Follow-up.
Am J Sports Med
September 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rutgers University, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * The study aimed to assess long-term outcomes of nonoperative treatment for high ankle sprains in athletes using a standardized protocol, where 31 out of 40 patients responded to follow-up surveys after an average of 25 years.
- * Results showed that a significant portion of respondents reported additional ankle injuries, with varying self-reported outcomes, but 27% of those with follow-up radiographs exhibited signs of osteoarthritis.
Increased combined anteversion is associated with larger posterior acetabular rim ossification in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
September 2024
Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital, Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University, Beijing, China.
Purpose: (1) To determine the prevalence, magnitude and distribution pattern of acetabular rim ossification in patients with femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) and (2) to determine the association between acetabular rim ossification and rotational abnormalities of the hip.
Methods: Patients underwent hip arthroscopic surgery for FAIS at our institute between January 2021 and May 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were included if preoperative computed tomography (CT) images of the operated hip and ipsilateral distal femur were available for the measurement of femoral and acetabular anteversion.
Post-Traumatic Radio-ulnar Synostosis Managed by the Excision of the Bone Bridge and Palmaris Longus Encircling Loop over the Ulna: A Case Report.
J Orthop Case Rep
June 2024
Department of Orthopaedics Surgery, Government Medical College Haldwani, Uttarakhand, India.
Article Synopsis
- Radioulnar synostosis is a rare complication of forearm fractures that can limit movement, and there is no agreed-upon treatment approach, especially for diaphysial distal third synostosis.
- In a reported case, a patient with long-standing synostosis successfully had the bony bridge removed, and a native tendon was used to prevent re-ossification during surgery.
- After 10 years of follow-up, there was no re-ossification, although clinical improvement was minimal; nonetheless, the patient was able to perform daily activities without discomfort.
