We describe changes in imaging features of a textiloma (retained surgical sponge or retained foreign body) left in the renal fossa after exploratory renal surgery. One year after the initial surgery, the MR aspect of the textiloma was not specific, with a homogeneous low signal intensity on T1-weighted images. Serial CT examinations over 4 years demonstrated progressive growth and calcification of the mass which appeared pseudocystic with a peripheral inflammatory wall. Granulomas caused by a retained surgical sponge should be considered as a cause of retroperitoneal mass in patients with a history of prior surgery.

Factors affecting the quality of postoperative rehabilitation in children with cochlear implants based on the theory of knowledge, attitude and practice.
BMJ Open

Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Kunming Children's Hospital, Kunming, Yunnan, China
Objectives: This study aimed to examine factors that influence postoperative rehabilitation outcomes in children with cochlear implants, using a knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) framework.
Design: A total of 683 children with cochlear implants participated in this study. Hearing and speech assessments were conducted through face-to-face and/or telephone interviews, while parents' or guardians' KAP were assessed following detailed instructions provided beforehand.
Aims: The Peri-Implant and PeriProsthetic Survival AnalysiS (PIPPAS) study aimed to investigate the risk factors for one-year mortality of femoral peri-implant fractures (FPIFs).
Methods: This prospective, multicentre, observational study involved 440 FPIF patients with a minimum one-year follow-up. Data on demographics, clinical features, fracture characteristics, management, and mortality rates were collected and analyzed using both univariate and multivariate analyses.
Outcomes and Role of Lymphadenectomy in Hypervascular Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma Based on CT-Vascularity.

Department of Surgery, Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan.
Background: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and role of lymphadenectomy in hypervascular intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) quantified using the arterial phase of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
Methods: Consecutive patients with mass-forming (MF) or predominantly MF type ICC who underwent surgical resection from 2000 to 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Using the image of the late arterial phase, CT-vascularity was calculated by dividing the CT value of the tumor (Hounsfield units) with that of the liver parenchyma.
Neurosurgical strategy based on the type of occult spinal dysraphism in omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects complex: A review of 10 cases.

Department of Neurosurgery, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kyushu University, Iizuka, Japan.
Background: Omphalocele-exstrophy-imperforate anus-spinal defects (OEIS) complex is a rare, life-threatening congenital malformation primarily treated with abdominogenital repair. The optimal indication and timing of neurosurgical interventions for the associated spinal cord lesions remains insufficiently studied. We reviewed spinal dysraphism in OEIS to evaluate the best timing for neurosurgical intervention.

The hypoxia microenvironment post-myocardial infarction (MI) critically disturbs cellular metabolism and inflammation response, leading to scarce bioenergy supplying, prolonged inflammatory phase and high risk of cardiac fibrosis during cardiac restoration. Herein, an injectable hydrogel is prepared by Schiff base reaction between fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP)-grafted carboxymethyl chitosan (CF) and oxidized dextran (OD), followed by loading fucoidan-coated baicalin (BA)-encapsulated zein nanoparticles (BFZ NPs), in which immunoregulatory and metabolism improving functions are integrally included. The grafted FBP serves to enhance glycolysis and provide more bioenergy for cardiomyocytes survival under hypoxia microenvironment, and elevating cellular antioxidant capacity pentose phosphate pathway.
