Normal vertical and horizontal offset is essential for hip biomechanics, muscle functioning and gait pattern. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) should aim to restore normal offset with implantation of femoral and acetabular components. This would be possible with proper preoperative planning, templating and ensuring implant options are available for offset restoration. Templating is essential for understanding the vertical and horizontal offset change, especially in hip arthritis presenting late with significant limb length discrepancy at THA. Planning should include appropriate soft tissue releases and the use of ideal implants to achieve restoration of horizontal and vertical offset. Under correction of horizontal offset at THA for fracture neck of femur could result in abductor fatigue, limp and increased wear. Restoration of horizontal offset is imperative at THA for a fractured neck of the femur to achieve optimal abductor function. Horizontal offset is necessary for optimal abductor muscle tension and function. Revision THA for acetabular bone loss would require hip center restoration with the acetabular and femoral offset correction to achieve limb length correction and abductor length. The inability to achieve vertical and horizontal offset correction could lead to dislocation or signs of abductor fatigue. Careful vertical and horizontal femur offset restoration is required for normal hip biomechanics, decreased wear and increased longevity.

Enhancing Sensitivity of Point-of-Care Thyroid Diagnosis via Computational Analysis of Lateral Flow Assay Images Using Novel Textural Features and Hybrid-AI Models.
Biosensors (Basel)

School of Engineering, Ulster University, Belfast BT15 1ED, UK.
Lateral flow assays are widely used in point-of-care diagnostics but face challenges in sensitivity and accuracy when detecting low analyte concentrations, such as thyroid-stimulating hormone biomarkers. This study aims to enhance assay performance by leveraging textural features and hybrid artificial intelligence models. A modified Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix, termed the Averaged Horizontal Multiple Offsets Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix, was utilised to compute the textural features of the biosensor assay images.

Background: The addition of computer navigation (CN) technology in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) has the potential to improve restoration of hip offset and leg length. In this investigation, we examine the effect of one fluoroscopic-based CN system on biomechanical parameters in DAA THA with femur-first (FF) workflow.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed on 235 primary DAA FF THA cases, with 100 CN cases and 135 in the conventional fluoroscopic overlay (FO) group.
Comparative Analysis of Structural Differences in Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity With and Without Hallux Valgus.
Foot Ankle Int

Division of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, NC, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The study examines differences in foot deformities, specifically Progressive Collapsing Foot Deformity (PCFD) with and without Hallux Valgus (HV), using weightbearing computed tomography in patients aged 18 and over.
- Findings show that PCFD with HV exhibits greater angles and pronation at key joints compared to PCFD without HV, indicating significant structural variations.
- The results highlight important associations between HV deformity and specific foot angles, suggesting a need for targeted clinical assessment and treatment based on these deformities.
Simulation Study on Reservoir Stimulation of Multihorizontal Wells for Gas Hydrate Production in Low-Permeability Reservoirs.

Institute of Exploration Techniques, Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, Langfang 065000, China.
The feasibility of hydrate exploitation technology has been verified by two rounds of trial productions in the South China Sea, but it is also faced with the problem of low gas production efficiency. Therefore, this paper proposed four different hydrate production cases with multihorizontal wells and established simulation models. Then, the influence patterns of reservoir stimulation and offset distances on hydrate dissociation, saturation change, and pressure distribution were studied.

Purpose: To investigate the longitudinal relationship between myopia and retinal shape in Chinese children.
Methods: A total of 2471 seven-year-old Chinese children were measured for axial length, anterior corneal radius of curvature, anterior chamber depth, lens thickness, central spherical equivalent, and peripheral refractions along the horizontal meridian (±15°, ±30°) under cycloplegia. Retinal shape was fitted using vertex radius of curvature, asphericity, and an offset.
