High-resolution manometry (HRM) is a diagnostic tool for surgeons, gastroenterologists and other healthcare professionals to evaluate esophageal physiology. The Chicago Classification (CC) system is based on a consensus of worldwide experts to minimize ambiguity in HRM data acquisition and diagnosis of esophageal motility disorders. The most updated version, CCv4.0, was published in 2021; however, it does not provide step-by-step guidelines (i.e., for beginners) on how to assess the most important HRM metrics. This paper aims to summarize the basic guidelines for conducting a high-quality HRM study including data acquisition and interpretation, based on CCv4.0, using Manoview ESO analysis software, version 3.3 (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN).

Objective: To compare the efficacy and safety of unilateral biportal endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (UBE-LIF) and endoscopic lumbar interbody fusion (Endo-LIF) in the treatment of lumbar degenerative diseases in lumbar degenerative diseases.
Methods: A thorough literature search was conducted according to the PRISMA guidelines and the PICO framework(PROSPERO 2024CRD42024592073). The databases searched included PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), and Wanfang Database, with a time frame of January 2020 to June 2024.
Integrated course on ocular anatomy for ophthalmology clerkship.

State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-Sen University; Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology and Visual Science, Guangzhou, China.
Background: Obtaining a full understanding of the anatomical structure of the eyeball and the contents within the eye plays a crucial role in learning eye diseases. However, it can be challenging for beginners to quickly learn, memorize, and apply this anatomical knowledge. To improve the teaching of ocular anatomy and help students overcome learning difficulties in ophthalmology clerkship, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center developed an integrated ocular anatomy course comprising three main components: 'online preview,' 'lecture,' and 'wetlab dissection'.

Department of Anesthesiology, Ningbo No.2 Hospital, No.41, Northwest Street, Ningbo, 315010, P.R. China.
Background: Developing proficiency in ultrasound-guided nerve block (UGNB) demands an intricate understanding of cross-sectional anatomy as well as spatial reasoning, which is a big challenge for beginners. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility of virtual reality (VR)-facilitated anatomy education in the first performance of ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus blockade among novice anesthesiologists. We carried out pilot testing of this hypothesis using a prospective, single blind, randomized controlled trial.

In the tenth year since the first edition of MISEV was released in 2014, MISEV2023 has been reported in 2024 with the aim of refining the standard and improving the rigor, reproducibility, and transparency of extracellular vesicle (EV) research to clarify the requirements for experimental design of EVs, emphasize the importance of reproducible experimental results as well as encouraging openness of experimental information. The release of MISEV has significantly contributed to the quality of research in the field of EVs, which creates a more reliable research environment. However, despite the important role of MISEV, there is still a need for the EV researchers to continue to push for the widespread implementation of the guidelines to meet the evolving nature and challenges of EV research.

This tutorial is aimed primarily to non-engineers (clinical researchers, clinicians, neurophysiology technicians, ergonomists, movement and sport scientists, physical therapists) or beginners using, or planning to use, surface electromyography (sEMG) as a monitoring and assessment tool for muscle and neuromuscular evaluations in the prevention and rehabilitation fields. Its first purpose is to explain, with minimal mathematics, basic concepts related to: (a) time and frequency domain description of a signal, (b) Fourier transform, (c) amplitude, phase, and power spectrum of a signal, (d) sampling of a signal, (e) filtering of sEMG signals, (f) cross-spectrum and coherence between two signals, (g) signal stationarity and criteria for epoch selection, (h) myoelectric manifestations of muscle fatigue and (i) fatigue indices. These concepts are consolidated knowledge and are addressed and discussed with examples taken from the literature.
