A total of 2394 patients with a foreign body in the oesophagus was treated in our unit between 1965 and 1976, including 343 children in whom fish bones (146) and coins (134) were most commonly responsible; in adults, bones (fish and chicken) were commonest. Most of the foreign bodies were impacted in the cervical oesophagus. Pharyngoscopy and oesophagoscopy were carried out under general anaesthesia in all cases except those in which the foreign body was ejected spontaneously or when the patient refused the examination. Oesophageal perforation due to a foreign body was encountered in only one child. Two patients in the series developed the fearsome complication of oesophagoaortic fistula.

One case of multi-dimensional cervical disorder was diagnosed and treated using (sinew/muscle) theory. According to the patient's symptoms, guided by theory, this case was diagnosed as the (muscle region) disorder of foot-. On the distribution of the muscle region of foot-, the distal junctions of the muscle region, Kunlun (BL60) and Feiyang (BL58), as well as the knotted sites, Wangu (GB12), Tianzhu (BL10) and Cuanzhu (BL2) were the keys in the distal acupuncture technique along meridian.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) impacts women's health and quality of life. Post-surgery complications can be severe. This study uses rat models to replicate sacrocolpopexy and test materials for pelvic support, verifying the 4-week postoperative mortality rate, the mechanical properties of the mesh tissue, and the collagen content.

Background And Purpose: This study updates 2 parallel systematic reviews and meta-analyses from 2012, which established the 1-year radiostereometric (RSA) migration thresholds for tibial components of total knee replacements (TKR) based on the risk of late revision for aseptic loosening from survival studies. The primary aim of this study was to determine the (mis)categorization rate of the 2012 thresholds using the updated review as a validation dataset. Secondary aims were evaluation of 6-month migration, mean continuous (1- to 2-year) migration, and fixation-specific thresholds for tibial component migration.
