A case reported in which a man intravenously injected himself with a hydrocarbon insecticide. The radiographic findings and clinical course were typical for hydrocarbon pneumonia. Symptoms developed almost immediately and radiographic findings cleared within 72 hours. Because the hydrocarbon was introduced intravenously, the role of aspiration in the development of hydrocarbon pneumonitis is obviated.

A five-year-old male presented with small bowel obstruction and a worm bolus on a plain abdominal radiograph. Peritonism and acidosis prompted laparotomy after a short period of resuscitation. At surgery a worm bolus had caused a small bowel volvulus with a segment of necrosis that was successfully managed by detorsion and resection.

Introduction: Combination chemoimmunotherapy including pemetrexed and a PD(L)1 inhibitor is a common first-line systemic therapy approach for patients with metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC. Patients often discontinue maintenance pemetrexed due to adverse effects, and little is known about the impact of maintenance pemetrexed cessation on real-world progression-free survival (rwPFS) and overall survival (OS).
Methods: A total of 121 patients with stage IV or recurrent, metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC treated at Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) were included in this retrospective analysis.

Background: The Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) is a tool to assess the overall health of older adults. There are few reports of CFS and prognosis of ankle fracture. The objective of this study was to determine the predictive power of the CFS for adverse clinical and radiographic outcomes after surgery in elderly patients with trimalleolar fractures.

The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, No. 1 Youyi Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400016, P.R. China.
Objective: To investigate the effects of modified twin-block appliances (MTBA) on obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and mandibular retrognathia and the changes in the upper airway, hyoid bone position, and hypoxia-related inflammatory marker levels in children with OSA.
Methods: This study included children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia and those with class I without mandibular retrognathia (n = 35 each). The experimental group comprised children with OSA and mandibular retrognathia managed using MTBA.
Arthroscopic all-inside wrapping repair of lateral meniscus bucket-handle tears: clinical and imaging outcomes.

Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan.
Purpose: This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic healing rates of the arthroscopic all-inside wrapping repair technique for lateral meniscus bucket-handle tears (LMBHTs).
Methods: This retrospective study examined patients diagnosed with LMBHTs who underwent all-inside wrapping repair with or without anterior cruciate reconstruction between 2012 and 2021. Patients with previous knee surgeries, multiligamentous knee injuries, or advanced osteoarthritis were excluded.
