AI Article Synopsis
- A study compared the clinical outcomes of lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) and RSA with latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) in patients with poor preoperative external rotation (ER).
- The analysis showed that lateralized RSA alone led to better postoperative ER and Constant scores while having fewer complications compared to RSA with LDT.
- Both procedures are effective for restoring ER, but lateralized RSA is preferred due to its lower risk of nerve injuries and dislocations, although LDT may still be suitable for select patients with severe ER loss.
Article Abstract
Background: To compare clinical outcomes following lateralized reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) versus RSA with latissimus dorsi transfer (LDT) in patients with poor preoperative active external rotation (ER).
Methods: We performed a systematic review per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. We queried PubMed/Medline, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases to identify articles reporting clinical outcomes of RSA with LDT or lateralized RSA alone performed in patients with preoperative ER ≤0°. Our primary outcomes were active ER, active forward elevation (FE), Constant score, and the incidence of complications.
Results: We included 12 RSA with LDT studies with 188 shoulders and 4 lateralized RSA without transfer studies with 250 shoulders. Mean preoperative ER in RSA with LDT was -14°, while mean preoperative ER in lateralized RSA alone was -11°. Lateralized RSA alone was associated with superior postoperative ER (28° vs. 22°, P=0.010) and Constant score (69 vs. 65, P=0.014), but similar postoperative FE (P=0.590). Pre- to postoperative improvement in ER and FE was similar between cohorts. RSA with LDT had a higher incidence of nerve-related complications (2.1% vs. 0%) and dislocation (2.8% vs. 0.8%) compared to lateralized RSA alone.
Conclusions: Both RSA with LDT and lateralized RSA are reliable options to restore ER in patients with significantly limited preoperative ER. Our analysis suggests that lateralized RSA alone is superior to RSA with LDT in patients with either a medialized or lateralized implant design and confers a lower risk of complications, particularly nerve injury and dislocation. However, the addition of an LDT may still be indicated in certain patient populations with very severe ER loss. Level of evidence: IV.

The dimensionality of neural coding for cognitive control is gradually transformed within the lateral prefrontal cortex.

Implementing cognitive control relies on neural representations that are inherently high-dimensional and distributed across multiple subregions in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Traditional approaches tackle prefrontal representation by reducing it into a unidimensional measure (univariate amplitude) or using them to distinguish a limited number of alternatives (pattern classification). By contrast, representational similarity analysis (RSA) enables flexibly formulating various hypotheses about informational contents underlying the neural codes, explicitly comparing hypotheses, and examining the representational alignment between brain regions.

Root depth is a major determinant of plant performance during drought and a key trait for strategies to improve soil carbon sequestration to mitigate climate change. While the model Arabidopsis thaliana offers numerous advantages for studies of root system architecture and root depth, its small and fragile roots severely limit the use of the methods and techniques currently available for such studies in soils. To overcome this, we have developed ClearDepth, a conceptually simple, non-destructive, sensitive, and low-cost method to estimate the root depth of Arabidopsis in relatively small pots that are amenable to mid- and large-scale studies.

Modified Distalization Shoulder Angle and Lateralization Shoulder Angle show weakly correlation with clinical outcomes following reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Introduction: The focus in reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) has been on the lateralization and distalization of prosthesis positioning, influenced by implant design and surgical technique. There's no consensus on the optimal amount of lateralization and distalization or the best radiographic parameters for evaluating placement. This study examines the correlation and the predictive value between previously described modified distalization shoulder angle (DSA) and lateralization shoulder angle (LSA) with postoperative outcomes, which aim to differentiate the contributions of the humeral and glenoid components in the global distalization and lateralization of the RSA.
