Article Abstract
Background: Ankle arthrodesis has been the mainstay treatment for end-stage ankle arthritis. The popularity of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) has been on the rise due to improved implant design and postoperative outcomes. The purpose of this study was to describe the basic epidemiology and trends of annual procedure volumes and incidence in the general American population as well as in different population subgroups from 2009 to 2019. We hypothesize that the incidence of TAA has significantly risen while the median length of hospital stay has decreased nationwide.
Methods: The IBM MarketScan database was queried for patients who underwent TAA from January 2009 to December 2019 based on coding. Population estimates from the US Census Bureau were used to calculate the annual incidence of TAA. Procedural volume and incidence were calculated for annual sums, gender, age subgroups, inpatient and outpatient TAA, as well as in four statistical geographic regions in the United States. Median length of hospital stay was calculated and trended annually for inpatient TAA.
Results: A total of 41,060 primary TAAs were identified in the database from 2009 to 2019, in which 52.5% were performed in males. Annual volumes increased by 136.1%, from 2180 to 5147 procedures nationwide. Incidence reported per 100 000 population increased by 120.8%. Both inpatient and outpatient procedures have increased, by 242.5% and 86.6%, respectively. Median length of hospital stay decreased from 3 days in 2009 to 1 day in 2019 and did not differ between genders. Growth in incidence was demonstrated in males and females above the age of 54 years with the largest growth in annual incidence found between 65 and 74 years. Incidence rose in the South and West of the United States by 111.8% and 136.5%, respectively.
Conclusion: We found that annual volumes and incidence rates of primary TAA has increased between 2009 and 2019. Although both inpatient and outpatient surgery have become more frequent, inpatient volumes and incidence have increased almost 3 times more than those of outpatient surgery. Length of hospital stay decreased over the study years. When adjusted for the same study period, the cumulative annual growth rates of TAA were found to be 2 times greater than total knee arthroplasty and 3.6 times greater than total hip arthroplasty.

Department of Anesthesiology, Shaoxing People's Hospital, Shaoxing Hospital of Zhejiang University, Shaoxing, China.
Background: Shivering, nausea and vomiting are common complications in cesarean section during neuraxial anesthesia. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of prophylactic use of ondansetron on intraoperative shivering, nausea and vomiting in women undergoing cesarean section.
Methods: A total of 80 full-term parturients were randomly divided into the ondansetron group and the control group.
Epidemiological investigation of trypanosomosis in livestock and distribution of vector in Dabo Hana district, Southwest Oromia, Ethiopia.

The trypanosomosis remains unresolved due to its impact on various hosts, leading to production losses in Ethiopia. In the Southwest of Oromia, multiple livestock species share grazing land in tsetse-infested areas. Thus, a cross-sectional study was conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 to determine the prevalence and associated risk factors of trypanosomosis in bovines, small ruminants, and equines, as well as the distribution of the vector in the Dabo Hana district of Southwest Oromia, Ethiopia.

Purpose: Displacement minimization of seeds is crucial during surgery in brachytherapy; however, only a few reports have compared the operability of different seeds. TheraStrand-SL is a seed, in which TheraAGX100 is wrapped in polyglactin 910 thread, and intra-prostatic displacement is expected to be reduced compared with that of Thera-AGX100, owing to the complex shape of TheraStrand-SL. We conducted a prospective study on the operability and treatment outcomes of TheraAGX100 and TheraStrand-SL placement by a single operator.

Purpose: To explore the effects of personalized oral stents in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) treatment.
Methods: Totally 108 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated with IMRT at Nanjing Gaochun People's Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected. Using a random number table method, the patients were divided into experimental group (n=54) using personalized oral stents and control group (n=54) using simple mouthpieces.
Prognostic value of a composite physiologic index developed by adding bronchial and hyperlucent volumes quantified via artificial intelligence technology.

Background: The composite physiologic index (CPI) was developed to estimate the extent of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs). The CALIPER-revised version of the CPI (CALIPER-CPI) was also developed to estimate the volume fraction of ILD measured by CALIPER, an automated quantitative CT postprocessing software. Recently, artificial intelligence-based quantitative CT image analysis software (AIQCT), which can be used to quantify the bronchial volume separately from the ILD volume, was developed and validated in IPF.
