Does the posterior tibial slope in caliper-verified unrestricted kinematically aligned TKA using manual instruments match the slope in the contralateral healthy knee and improve function?

Knee

December 2024

Department of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of California, Davis, CA 95616, United States. Electronic address:

Purpose: Unrestricted kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty (unKA TKA) strives to restore the pre-arthritic posterior tibial slope (PTS), however consistency of achieving this alignment target is unknown. The present study determined the proportion of subjects with differences in PTS less than 2° from the target and the improvement in patient-reported function after unKA TKA.

Methods: A review of 562 postoperative scanograms identified 99 patients (51 female) with a unKA TKA in one limb, a contralateral healthy limb, and a postoperative axial CT scan.

Article Synopsis
  • Cerebral ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults, and previous studies showed that human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stromal cells (WJ-MSCs) can help reduce neuronal damage in stroke models.
  • This research explored the effects of WJ-MSC exosomes (Exo) in both cell and rat models of stroke, finding that Exo administration significantly protected neurons from glutamate-induced damage.
  • Rats treated with Exo after a stroke showed improved motor function, reduced brain damage, and increased levels of neuroprotective and anti-apoptotic factors in their brains, indicating that WJ-MSC Exo could be a promising stroke treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • Self-guided Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) has been shown to effectively reduce Public Speaking Anxiety (PSA) and heart rate, indicating lower physiological arousal in socially anxious individuals.
  • The study involved 72 participants with high social anxiety who were divided into two groups: one receiving VRET with biofeedback on heart rate and brain activity, and the other receiving VRET alone.
  • Results indicated that both groups experienced improvements in social anxiety, but the biofeedback group exhibited a more consistent reduction in physiological arousal and greater decreases in self-reported anxiety levels during sessions.

Inter-reader agreement of the BI-RADS CEM lexicon.

Eur Radiol

November 2024

Department of Biomedical Imaging and Image-Guided Therapy, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the inter-reader agreement of the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) lexicon.

Materials And Methods: In this IRB-approved, single-center, retrospective study, three breast radiologists, each with different levels of experience, reviewed 462 lesions in 421 routine clinical CEM according to the fifth edition of the BI-RADS lexicon for mammography and to the first version of the BI-RADS lexicon for CEM. Readers were blinded to patient outcomes and evaluated breast and lesion features on low-energy (LE) images (breast density, type of lesion, associated architectural distortion), lesion features on recombined (RC) images (type of enhancement, characteristic of mass enhancement, non-mass enhancement or enhancing asymmetry), and provided a final BI-RADS assessment.
