Background: We modified the blind Seldinger technique by incorporating ultrasound guidance and the use of a multifunctional bladder paracentesis trocar for PD catheter (PDC) placement, which can be easily performed by a nephrologist and is a feasible technique. To compare success rates and safety of our modified percutaneous PD catheter placement technique to open surgery.
Methods: Two hundred and twelve stage-5 chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients receiving PD therapy from June 2016 to June 2019 were included, 105 patients treated by ultrasound-guided percutaneous placement of peritoneal dialysis catheters using a multifunctional bladder paracentesis trocar (Group A) and 107 patients receiving open surgical placement (Group B). Outcomes of patients via either catheter placement technique were retrospectively compared. The clinical success rate as defined by proper catheter drainage within 4 weeks after placement, complication rates (both technical complications and infections), and 1-year catheter survival were compared.
Results: There was no significant difference in sex ratio, age, or previous abdominal surgery history between groups (P > .05). Both surgical time and incision length were significantly shorter in Group A than in Group B (P < .05). Clinical success rate was also higher inGroup A (P < .05). Moreover, Group A demonstrated lower overall complication rates (P < .05) and lower incidence rates of early peritonitis, initial drainage disorder, and peritubular leakage (all P < .05). One-year catheter survival was also higher in Group A (P < .05).
Conclusion: Percutaneous placement of PD catheters using our modified technique demonstrates superior success rates and safety compared to open surgery. In addition, our modified technique can be a better alternative to traditional Seldinger percutaneous catheterization for its higher success rate and safety, more accurate positioning.

Background: Knee injuries resulting in purely cartilaginous defects are rare, and controversy remains regarding the reliability of chondral-only fixation.
Purpose: To systematically review the literature for fixation methods and outcomes after primary fixation of chondral-only defects within the knee.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 5.
Background: The armamentarium of medical therapies to treat inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) continues to grow, which has expanded treatment options, particularly after first biologic failure. Currently, there are limited studies investigating the predictive value of first biologic primary non-response (PNR) on subsequent biologic success. Our objective was to determine if PNR to the first biologic for IBD is predictive of response to subsequent biologic therapy.

Purpose: Studies have shown mixed findings regarding the impact of stress on the success of fertility treatments. To the best of our knowledge, stress in the context of the workplace has not been investigated to date in relation to the success of fertility treatments. This research investigates the impact of work-related stress and emotional exhaustion experienced by both partners on in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment outcomes.
