Sixty one cemented second revision total hip arthroplasties and 18 cemented third revision total hip arthroplasties were studied with emphasis on cause of failure, complications, risk of further revision, and clinical and radiographic outcome of surviving, not further revised patients. Aseptic loosening was the major reason for both second and third revisions followed by recurrent dislocations. Twenty one second revisions failed again. Postoperative dislocation was the major complication, entered in 10/61 second revisions and in 4/18 third revisions. Ten second revisions were reoperated on without exchange of components, but for reasons related to the implant. Clinical and radiographic outcome was favorable, but must be seen in the light of the high rate of further revisions. In 33/53 second revisions and in 5/13 third revisions left for evaluation, the overall outcome was considered unsatisfactory. Reoperations for failed arthroplasties should be the prerogative of highly experienced centers.

Background The increasing workload of radiologists can lead to burnout and errors in radiology reports. Large language models, such as OpenAI's GPT-4, hold promise as error revision tools for radiology. Purpose To test the feasibility of GPT-4 use by determining its error detection, reasoning, and revision performance on head CT reports with varying error types and to validate its clinical utility by comparison with human readers.

Exposure of lung epithelia to aerosols is omnipresent. Chronic exposure to polluted air is a significant factor in the development of pulmonary diseases, which are among the top global causes of death, including COVID-19, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, and tuberculosis. As efforts to prevent and treat lung diseases increase, the development of pulmonary drug delivery systems has become a major area of interest.
