The long-term results of treating radial neck fractures in children with the Metaizeau technique.

Purpose: Radial neck fractures in children are rare, representing less than 1% of all pediatric fractures. While conservative treatments are often sufficient, displaced fractures may require closed or open reduction. The Metaizeau technique is widely accepted for closed reduction and internal fixation.

Investigation of the color discrimination ability using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100-hue test and structural changes by SS-OCT in patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia.

Aim: This study aimed to examine the color discrimination ability of patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDβ-T) in detail using the Farnsworth Munsell (FM) 100-hue test and to evaluate structural changes by swept source-optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

Material And Methods: This prospective, sectional study included 40 patients (79 eyes) with TDβ-T and 21 controls (42 eyes). The volunteers underwent a detailed ophthalmological examination and SS-OCT (DRI-OCT, Triton) imaging.

Optical coherence tomography angiography findings in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia patients with and without splenectomy.

Background: Ocular involvement is common in transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia (TDβ-T) patients. We aimed to investigate the effect of splenectomy on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) findings in TDβ-T patients.

Methods: The study is a prospective cross-sectional study.

Can Minimally Invasive Multivessel Coronary Revascularization Be a Routine Approach?

Background: Advancement in the field of cardiovascular surgery has emerged with various minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of multivessel coronary disease to improve outcomes and minimize the burden associated with conventional cardiac surgery. This study describes our routine technical approach and clinical experience of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass via left anterior minithoracotomy for the treatment of patients with multivessel coronary lesions.

Methods: Our experience includes 100 consecutive patients who were operated between July 2020 and April 2021.

Minimal invasive approach of post-MI ventricular septal defect repair and coronary artery revascularization via left anterior minithoracotomy.

A 54-year-old male was admitted to our hospital with a prolonged dypsnea, orthopnoea, and chest pain that has lasted for almost 2 weeks. Physical examination revealed symptoms of heart failure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a ventricular septal defect located at the apical segment of the interventricular septum, mild mitral regurgitation, and hypokinesia of the apex of the left ventricle.
