A 68-year-old woman was referred to the emergency room for globe trauma of the left eye. Initial examination demonstrated absent adduction and infraduction. During preliminary repair, total transection of the medial and inferior rectus muscle bellies was noted, but the retracted proximal muscle segments could not be immediately retrieved. On re-exploration 36 hours later, both retracted muscle segments were recovered by tracing Tenon's capsule and reconnected to the distal portions of the muscles. At her postoperative month 1 visit she was orthotropic in primary gaze, with residual infraduction and adduction defects.

Background: Early recognition of peripheral tissue perfusion deficits can minimize secondary complications of peripheral arterial disease in individuals with diabetes.

Objectives: To compare parameters of peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg at rest and during and after progressive effort between non-diabetics and individuals with type 2 diabetes and normal ankle brachial index values, as well as to evaluate the factors associated with peripheral tissue perfusion in the leg in individuals with type 2 diabetes during progressive effort.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 31 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 31 non-diabetics.

Background: Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a globally prevalent atherosclerotic disease associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and a poor prognosis. Skeletal muscle loss (sarcopenia) is particularly common in patients with PAD and is closely associated with poor prognosis.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the area, density and fat infiltration of skeletal muscle in patients with PAD by CT, and to analyze their relationship with the degree of vascular stenosis.

Evaluation of Bi-layer Silk Fibroin Grafts for Onlay Urethroplasty in a Female Porcine Model of Long Urethral Strictures.

March 2025

Department of Urology, University of California, Irvine, Building 55, 101 The City Drive South., Rm. 300, Orange, CA, 92868, USA.

Background: Buccal mucosa urethroplasty represents the primary strategy for reconstruction of long urethral strictures (US). However, significant complications including stricture recurrence and donor site morbidity currently hamper this approach. The goal of this study was to determine the efficacy of acellular, bi-layer silk fibroin (BLSF) biomaterials to serve as superior alternatives to buccal mucosal (BM) grafts for repair of 4 cm long US in female swine.

After stroke, upper extremity (UE) motor recovery may be mediated in part by transcallosal projections between hemispheres. The interhemispheric competition model posits that transcallosal inhibition (TI) from the contralesional hemisphere is abnormally strengthened following stroke and interferes with motor recovery. This model has recently been questioned.

Introduction: Cross-education is an established yet not fully understood phenomenon involving interhemispheric processes within the corpus callosum (CC) that result in strength gains in the untraining limb following training of the contralateral homologous muscles. There is a substantial lack of cross-education studies employing lesional models. This study employed the model of multiple sclerosis, a condition typically featuring demyelinating callosal lesions, to pinpoint CC subregions that mediate cross-education, potentially fostering the mechanistic understanding of the interlimb transfer.
