An early accelerated rehabilitation is generally recommended after surgery for acute Achilles tendon ruptures (ATRs). The modified side-locking loop suture (MSLLS) is a surgical technique that provides high tensile strength to the repaired Achilles tendon and allows for a safe, early accelerated rehabilitation protocol without requiring postoperative immobilization. However, there are no reports investigating the clinical outcomes of the MSLLS technique with early accelerated rehabilitation for ATRs.

Background Context: Domino osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) involve multiple OVFs occurring simultaneously or sequentially, before healing of the initial OVFs. However, the risk factors and long-term clinical outcomes of domino OVFs are unclear.
Purpose: To identify the risk factors associated with domino OVFs and to assess their impact on patients' quality of life (QOL).

This study aimed to establish a virtual cross cylinder method to calculate the total corneal astigmatism by combining the anterior and posterior corneal astigmatism on the secondary principal plane of the cornea based on Gaussian optics. The meridian with the least refractive power, namely, the flattest meridian of the virtual cross cylinder of a ± 0.5 × C diopter, is set as the reference meridian, and the power (F) at an angle of φ between an arbitrary meridian and the reference meridian is defined as F(φ) = - 0.

Background: The effects of left ventricular longitudinal function on the left atrial strain, including the left atrial reservoir function, have not been adequately quantified.
Methods: A total of 124 patients who underwent echocardiography were enrolled in this study. Left atrial strain analysis was performed using two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, and the left atrial volume was derived using the modified Simpson's method.

: Conservative treatment is the gold standard for acute osteoporotic vertebral fractures (AOVFs). However, the treatment strategy for multiple AOVFs remains unknown. We conducted a prospective study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to investigate how rapidly subsequent osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) occur as domino OVFs within 3 months.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate whether a combination of the total corneal power (TCP) and virtual axial length (AL) based on Gaussian optics makes the refractive prediction accuracy of the Barrett Universal II (BUII) formula better than the conventional anterior keratometry (K) and axial length.
Methods: The TCP and the virtual AL were calculated in two ways: the corneal index strategy and the TK index strategy. The former uses the corneal refractive index n as a variable, and the latter uses the TK index n as a variable.

Background: Nutritional status, which is associated with osteoporosis and muscle weakness is considered an important factor in the management of acute osteoporotic vertebral fracture (AOVF). However, few reports have investigated the nutritional status of hospitalized patients with AOVF and the impact of malnutrition on their functional prognosis. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status of hospitalized elderly patients with AOVF using the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score and to determine the usefulness of the CONUT score in predicting their functional prognosis.

Background: The clinical impact of single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) for descending colon cancer (DCC) is unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of SILS for DCC compared with multi-port laparoscopic surgery (MPLS).
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 137 consecutive patients with stage I-III DCC who underwent SILS or MPLS at two high-volume multidisciplinary tertiary hospitals between April 2008 and December 2018, using propensity score-matched analysis.

Purpose: To compare refractive outcomes calculated using intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas loaded onto the IOLMaster 700 with the employment of anterior keratometry (K) and total keratometry (TK).
Methods: A total of 225 eyes of 225 patients underwent uneventful cataract surgery and implantation of a single model of nontoric monofocal IOL by a single surgeon. All eyes underwent preoperative ocular biometric measurements with the IOLMaster 700.

Purpose: Postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major and potentially fatal postoperative complication of colorectal cancer surgery. However, there is uncertainty about the necessity for anticoagulant prophylaxis to prevent VTE after laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery because of its associated relatively lower incidence. Currently, anticoagulant therapy is considered mainly for patients at high risk of the development of VTE.

Background: The determinants of left atrial (LA) reservoir function have not been clarified.
Methods: To elucidate the effect of left ventricular (LV) contraction on LA reservoir volume (ΔV), volume change due to mitral annular downward motion and aortic root anterior motion, which are related to LV contraction during systole, was calculated in 72 consecutive subjects [42 patients without any cardiac disease (control group), 13 patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF group) and 17 with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF group)]. LA volume was calculated using the modified Simpson's method of bi-plane 2-D echocardiograms.
