Hallux valgus is one of the most common foot and ankle conditions faced by orthopaedic surgeons. Surgical correction of hallux valgus is frequently indicated for symptomatic deformity. Recently, the endoscopic technique of hallux valgus correction has been reported, which is basically an endoscopic approach to the classic distal soft tissue procedure. In this technical note, the technical details of the modified endoscopic distal soft tissue procedure with medial metatarsosesamoid ligament and intermetatarsal ligament augmentation is described. In this modified technique, the intact intermetatarsal ligament, plantar capsule of the first metatarsophalangeal joint (including the sesamoid apparatus), and medial metatarsosesamoid ligament form a soft tissue envelop that can wrap around the first metatarsal head to stabilize the first metatarsal in the reduced position.

Cell-generated forces play a critical role in driving and regulating complex biological processes, such as cell migration and division and cell and tissue morphogenesis in development and disease. Traction force microscopy (TFM) is an established technique developed in the field of mechanobiology used to quantify cellular forces exerted on soft substrates and internal mechanical tissue stresses. TFM measures cell-generated traction forces in 2D or 3D environments with varying mechanical and biochemical properties.

Hepatic steatosis/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a major public health delinquent caused by the excess deposition of lipid into lipid droplets (LDs) as well as metabolic dysregulation. Hepatic cells buildup with more fat molecules when a person takes high fat diet that is excessive than the body can handle. At present, millions of people in the world are affected by this problem.

Vertical maxillary excess (VME) is a facial condition characterized by an increased height in the lower third of the face, leading to a longer overall facial appearance. This condition is linked to a significant proportion of malocclusions and is often associated with greater dissatisfaction among patients concerning their appearance. The amalgamation of orthodontics with surgery is a desirable protocol to address VME.

Introduction Surgical resection remains a standard treatment of non-functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA). These tumors have significant intratumoral variability of growth rates and texture hardness. This preliminary study aims to identify variations in gene expression of different locations and textures within the same tumor to better explain tumor pathophysiology.
