AI Article Synopsis
- Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures are unusual and can be caused by high-energy trauma in younger adults or low-energy trauma in older adults, especially those with health issues, like narcotic addiction.
- The study presents two cases of individuals with neglected fractures who required surgery due to severe pain and impaired function.
- One-stage bilateral hip hemiarthroplasty was successfully performed on both cases, restoring function without complications, emphasizing the importance of tailored treatment for patients with similar challenges.
Article Abstract
Introduction And Importance: Simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures are rare and challenging, often occurring due to high-energy trauma in younger adults or low-energy trauma compounded by metabolic issues in elderly populations. Neglected cases, particularly in the context of narcotic addiction and limited access to healthcare, present unique management dilemmas. This study aims to contribute insights into the clinical presentation, management strategies, and outcomes of two neglected simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures.
Case Presentation: We present two cases: a 65-year-old woman and a 45-year-old man, both with a history of narcotic addiction, who presented with neglected simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures. Both cases demonstrated significant pain and functional impairment necessitating surgical intervention.
Clinical Discussion: Treatment involved one-stage bilateral hip hemiarthroplasty, which successfully restored function without postoperative complications during follow-up periods of 14 and 16 months. Discussion includes the challenges of diagnosing and managing neglected fractures in vulnerable populations, emphasizing the importance of early recognition and tailored surgical approaches.
Conclusion: Our study suggests the efficacy of one-stage bilateral hip hemiarthroplasty in managing neglected simultaneous bilateral femoral neck fractures due to narcotic addiction. However, variability in outcomes across different surgical techniques highlights the need for individualized treatment plans based on patient-specific factors.

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) due to amyloid deposition was reported to precede fatal cardiac amyloidosis by several years. Although nerve conduction study (NCS) supports CTS diagnosis, the incidence of positive amyloid deposition in electrophysiologically proven CTS is unclear. We retrospectively analysed the demographic data including age, gender, bilateral hand involvement, amyloid deposition and NCS results, of 111 consecutive CTS patients with postoperative symptom improvement (mean 71.

Background And Objectives: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established intervention for alleviating both motor and nonmotor symptoms of Parkinson disease. However, a common complication of stereotaxic DBS surgery is pneumocephalus, which can compromise electrode accuracy, complicate postoperative assessments, and negatively affect the long-term outcomes of DBS surgery. This report proposes a comprehensive and robust set of recommendations aimed at optimizing DBS surgical protocols to achieve zero pneumocephalus outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- A 50-year-old man presented with a large mass in his left thigh causing significant pain and impaired functionality, with imaging showing widespread tumors in several body parts, but the primary cancer source was unknown.
- Despite rapid tumor progression, he began treatment with nivolumab, an immunotherapy drug, and further genomic profiling led to a re-diagnosis of SMARCA4-deficient epithelioid sarcoma.
- After 5 weeks of treatment, the patient showed significant improvement despite facing some immune-related side effects; by the 12th dose, he had a positive response to the therapy with no new complications.

Introduction: In adult patients, most ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO) occurs secondarily. Concurrent UPJO with nephrolithiasis is not rare and simultaneous treatment by performing laparoscopic pyeloplasty and endoscopic stone removal has been suggested. In the case of atypical anatomy or previously failed pyeloplasty, a laparoscopic ureterocalicostomy is preferred.

Vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), resulting from chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, represent the second most prevalent form of dementia globally. Aerobic exercise is widely acknowledged as an effective intervention for various cognitive disorders. This study utilized a bilateral common carotid artery stenosis (BCAS) model to investigate whether aerobic exercise promotes cognitive recovery through the Annexin-A1 (ANXA1)/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) axis in BCAS mice.
