Analysis of a series of 352 femoral angiograms revealed that "blind" cannulation of the femoral artery distal to an occluded aorta or iliac artery is technically feasible in most patients. The vessel is usually patent even when the pulse is absent. Blind cannulation is not necessary for satisfactory peripheral angiography in all cases, but it is useful whenever visualization of the peripheral circulation is unsatisfactory following aortic injection. There were no apparent complications from the use of the technique.

Fracture Prevention with Infrequent Zoledronate in Women 50 to 60 Years of Age.
N Engl J Med
January 2025
From the Department of Medicine, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand (M.J.B., Z.N., A.M., C.G., V.P., B.M., A.G., I.R.R., G.G., A.H.); the Department of Psychology, Stanford University, Stanford, CA (C.G.); and the Department of Radiology, Starship Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand (S.B.).
Background: Zoledronate prevents fractures in older women when administered every 12 to 18 months, but its effects on bone density and bone turnover persist beyond 5 years. Whether infrequent zoledronate administration would prevent vertebral fractures in early postmenopausal women is unknown.
Methods: We conducted a 10-year, prospective, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial involving early postmenopausal women (50 to 60 years of age) with bone mineral density T scores lower than 0 and higher than -2.
Ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block reduced the incidence of postoperative delirium after total knee arthroplasty: A double-blind, randomized study.

Department of Anesthesiology, The Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Postoperative delirium (POD) is an acute brain dysfunction that mainly occurs in elderly patients after surgery. Postoperative pain is an important factor in the occurrence of POD, and effective pain management can reduce the risk of POD. Our study aims is to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) on postoperative pain and the occurrence of POD after knee arthroplasty, and whether its mechanism is related to oxidative stress, inflammatory factors.

Background And Aims: Intravenous sedation during spinal anesthesia has the advantages of increased duration of spinal anesthesia and better postoperative pain control. The aim of this study was to compare the effect of intravenous bolus and infusion of dexmedetomidine versus ketamine given intraoperative on the postoperative analgesia in fracture femur patients operated under subarachnoid block.
Material And Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blind controlled study, 75 patients aged 18-65 years posted for elective surgery were selected and randomly divided into three groups to receive ketamine (group K), dexmedetomidine (group D), and saline (control group C).
Musculoskeletal and body composition response to high-dose testosterone with finasteride after chronic incomplete spinal cord injury-a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled pilot study.

Article Synopsis
- High-dose testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) combined with finasteride offers benefits such as improved body composition, muscle strength, and bone density in older men, while mitigating the risk of prostate enlargement.
- A pilot study involved 12 men with spinal cord injuries, demonstrating that TRT with finasteride significantly increased lean body mass and muscle size, alongside enhancing bone mineral density compared to a placebo.
- Results suggest TRT + finasteride reduced fat mass and improved muscular strength, with measurable benefits observed as early as 6 months into the treatment, indicating its potential effectiveness for men with low testosterone post-injury.
Long-term egg-protein hydrolysate consumption improves endothelial function: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in older adults with overweight or obesity.

Department of Nutrition and Movement Sciences, NUTRIM Research Institute of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism, Maastricht University Medical Center+, Universiteitssingel 50, PO Box 616, 6200 MD, Maastricht, The Netherlands.
Purpose: The dietary egg-protein hydrolysate Newtricious (NWT)-03 has previously demonstrated improvements in blood pressure and metabolic profiles. However, the long-term effects on vascular function and cardiometabolic risk markers are unknown.
Methods: Forty-four older (aged 60-75) adults with overweight/obesity experiencing elevated Subjective Cognitive Failures (SCF) were randomized into a 36-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.
