Introduction: Iatrogenic and traumatic injuries to the femoral and saphenous nerves, and their branches are uncommon but can be a cause of clinically pertinent lower limb dysfunction and neuralgia. Despite this, direct sonographic imaging of these nerves is not commonly requested or performed.
Methods: A review of the literature regarding the detailed relative anatomy, sonographic technique to image these nerves and their branches and their normal and abnormal appearances was conducted.

In response to the challenges faced by the Coati Optimization Algorithm (COA), including imbalance between exploration and exploitation, slow convergence speed, susceptibility to local optima, and low convergence accuracy, this paper introduces an enhanced variant termed the Adaptive Coati Optimization Algorithm (ACOA). ACOA achieves a balanced exploration-exploitation trade-off through refined exploration strategies and developmental methodologies. It integrates chaos mapping to enhance randomness and global search capabilities and incorporates a dynamic antagonistic learning approach employing random protons to mitigate premature convergence, thereby enhancing algorithmic robustness.

Coronary artery disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide despite advancements in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). With an increasing ageing population, there is a significant challenge in addressing severe calcification in atherosclerotic plaque during angioplasty. This review article focuses on atherectomy strategies such as rotational atherectomy (RA), orbital atherectomy (OA) and excimer laser coronary angioplasty (ELCA) aimed at modifying calcified lesions and improving PCI outcomes.

Introduction: The genicular nerves are sensory nerves around the knee. With the improvements in ultrasound imaging resolution, these nerves can be identified sonographically.
Topic Description: Due to their small size, genicular nerves are often underappreciated and overlooked during routine sonographic imaging.

Zebrafish embryos are transparent and thus uniquely suited for noninvasive intravital imaging of fundamental processes, such as wound healing and immune cell migration. Microfluidic devices are used for entrapment to support long-term imaging of multicellular organisms, including zebrafish. However, the fabrication of these devices using soft lithography requires specialized facilities and competency in 3D printing, which may not be accessible to every lab.
