Objective: This review evaluated the outcomes of rhombic versus inverted triangle configuration fixation of femoral neck fractures.
Methods: Six databases, PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library databases, and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), were comprehensibly searched for the comparative studies of two configurations (rhombic versus inverted triangle) of neck femur fracture fixation. Ultimately seven studies were included in this systematic review for qualitative and quantitative analysis. A meta-analysis was performed with the software RevMan 5.4.1.
Results: Fewer nonunion (OR 0.46 with 95 % CI 0.23, 0.94; p = 0.03), and early full weight bearing (MD -3.09 with 95 % CI -5.41, -0.77; p = 0.009) were seen in the rhombic than in the inverted configuration; however, a better hip function (MD 3.72 with 95 % CI 0.99, 6.44; p = 0.008), and lesser less blood loss (MD 3.84 with 95 % CI 1.19, 6.49; p = 0.004) during surgery were found in the inverted triangle configuration. There was no difference between the two fixation configurations regarding the duration of surgery, fracture union time, overall complications, femoral neck shortening, length of hospital stay, fluoroscopy times, and incision size.
Conclusion: The rhomboid configuration showed fewer non-union, early weight bearing, better hip function and comparable complications rate than the inverted triangle configuration; however, there was more blood loss intraoperatively than inverted triangle configuration. Hence, the addition of a fourth screw in the rhombic configuration have an added advantage over the inverted triangle configuration in femoral neck fracture.

Previous research indicates that both adults and newborns show enhanced electrophysiological and behavioral responses to schematic face-like configurations (FCs-three dots composing a downward-pointing triangle), as compared to the inverted configurations (ICs). Even fetuses, when exposed to light stimuli projected through the uterine wall, preferentially orient their heads toward FCs rather than ICs. However, when this effect emerges along the third trimester of pregnancy and in relation to the maturation of which brain structures is still unknown.

Cardiac compression is the most crucial component of successful cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). However, CPR procedure poses a risk of complications, even when CPR providers perform cardiac compressions as recommended. Reports indicate that solid organ injuries, including liver injuries, occur with an incidence of about 0.

In the evolving digital economy, digital transformation has emerged as an important strategic choice for enterprises. Their comprehensive and innovative characteristics have instigated a paradigm shift in enterprise governance ideologies and models. However, this transformation has also introduced heightened demands and challenges to enterprise governance mechanisms during the transitional phase.

While searching at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) for the production and decay of the CP-odd scalar ( ) in the 2-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) with Natural Flavour Conservation (NFC) via the channels (through one-loop triangle diagrams) and (with GeV or GeV, with off-shell), respectively, a factorisation of the two processes is normally performed, with the state being on-shell. While this approach is gauge-invariant, it is not capturing the presence of either of the following two channels: (through one-loop triangle diagrams) or (through one-loop box diagrams). As the resolution of the mass cannot be infinitely precise, we affirm that all such contributions should be computed simultaneously, whichever the ( ) decay(splitting) products, thereby including all possible interferences amongst themselves.

Article Synopsis
- Storks use a cooling method called urohidrosis, where they wet their legs with excrement, and also spread their wings to regulate body temperature during hot weather.
- A study was conducted on Painted Storks in Delhi to observe these behaviors using videography, revealing that temperature and humidity impact their cooling techniques.
- Male storks engaged in more urohidrosis and wing-spreading than females, with these behaviors peaking during the hottest parts of the day and early in the nesting season, tapering off as temperatures dropped later in the season.
