Cerebral tomography allows the delineation of areas modified by edema or necrosis, the visualization of calcifications undetectable by standard x-ray examination, extra- or intra-cerebral blood effusions and neoformations of the cerebrum or of its envelopes. It also reveals slight or localized cerebral atrophies that other neuro-radiologic techniques sometimes failed to detect. It appears therefore worthwhile to reconsider pediatric neurology according to this new type of investigation. Its sole difficulty in young children, is the requirement of a half hour immobility, best obtained by general anesthesia. However, the rapid improvements of this technique will probably permit to overcome this slight drawback.

Unloader brace or high tibial osteotomy in the treatment of the young patient with medial knee osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled trial.
Acta Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Erasmus MC University Medical Centre Rotterdam; Department of General Practice, Erasmus MC University Medical Centre, Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
Background And Purpose: For medial knee osteoarthritis (OA), operative and nonoperative treatment options are available. Two widely applied unloading therapies are a valgus unloader brace and a high tibial osteotomy (HTO). We aimed to compare the effects of a valgus unloader knee brace with an HTO on knee pain after 1 year in patients with symptomatic medial knee OA.

Acta Orthop
January 2025
Department of Surgical Sciences, Section for Orthopaedics, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden.
Background And Purpose: Evidence for long-term outcomes following acetabular fractures in older adults is limited. We aimed to evaluate mortality, complications, and need for subsequent surgical procedures in operatively and nonoperatively treated older patients with acetabular fractures.
Methods: Patients aged ≥ 70 years with acetabular fractures treated at Uppsala University Hospital between 2010 and 2020 were included.
Outcomes of a transapical edge-to-edge repair system in secondary mitral regurgitation.

Objectives: The ValveClamp system (Hanyu Medical Technology) is a novel transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) system designed for ease of operation; however, there is a lack of data on its application in secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). The authors report the mid-term outcomes of TEER using the ValveClamp system in SMR.
Methods: The study prospectively analyzed consecutive severe SMR patients who underwent transapical ValveClamp implantation at 10 Chinese centers.

Objectives: The aim of this study was the evaluation of a group of patients treated at the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology of Locomotory Apparatus at Luis Pasteur University Hospital in Košice for septic arthritis in relation to risk factors and chronic diseases and its microbial aetiologic profile.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients including all episodes of septic arthritis from March 2013 to August 2022. The occurrence of chronic diseases, risk factors and its microbiological profile were investigated.
Maternal Fasting Plasma Glucose Level in Early Gestation and Developmental Delay in 2-year-old Children.
J Clin Endocrinol Metab
January 2025
Department of Molecular Epidemiology, Graduate School of Medicine, Tohoku University, Sendai, Miyagi 980-8575, Japan.
Background: The association of maternal hyperglycemia with childhood developmental delay has been examined; however, only 2 studies used maternal blood glucose level as a continuous variable as an exposure. A present study aimed to investigate the influence of maternal fasting plasma glucose (mFPG) level in early gestation on developmental delay in children.
Methods: This cohort study included 1541 mother-child pairs who participated in the Tohoku Medical Megabank Project Birth and Three-Generation Cohort Study.
