A selective proximal vagotomy risk map was created on the basis of risk factors of selective proximal vagotomy (SPV). The severity of initial state of the patient was determined by the map and expressed in scoring system. Four degrees of risk of unfavourable remote results of the operative procedure were established. The result was found to depend on the sum of scored points and risk degree. It was found that recurrent ulcers were most probable after isolated SPV, dumping syndrome followed SPV with the Finney pyloroplasty, other functional disorders took place after SPV with gastroduodenostomy after Jabuley.

Patellar instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare, yet serious complication, potentially requiring revision surgery or resulting in chronic dysfunction. When encountered, it is paramount to understand the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, treatment options, and outcomes of the selected treatment. The most common cause of patella instability is improper positioning of components, leading to lateral maltracking of the patella.

Purpose: Posterior tibial slope (PTS) influences knee kinetics and kinematics. The purpose of this study was to investigate morphology and variation within a sample of the black and white male and female population.
Method: 480 randomly selected lateral knee radiographs were included.

Background: Condensed extracellular matrix structures called perineuronal nets (PNNs) preferentially enwrap the soma and stabilize proximal synapses of parvalbumin-expressing inhibitory neurons in the cortex, serving as a protective barrier against neurotoxins. While PNN structural integrity declines in the healthy aging brain, this reduction is exacerbated in Alzheimer's disease (AD). In the 5xFAD mouse model of amyloidosis, the elimination of microglia prevents reductions in PNN, suggesting microglia are responsible for the over-degradation of PNNs observed in AD.

Aims: To improve quantification of valvular regurgitation, a 3D high-pulse repetition frequency Doppler (3D HPRFD) method was developed for regurgitant volume (RVol) estimation from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). Although successfully applied and in selected clinical cases, a systematic clinical validation of 3D HPRFD has not been published. Hence, our aims were to investigate (i) feasibility of 3D HPRFD and (ii) correlation between 3D HPRFD and RVol estimates obtained by the 2D proximal isovelocity surface area (PISA) method and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with either aortic regurgitation (AR) or mitral regurgitation (MR).
