Salvage endoscopic nasopharyngectomy in locally recurrent carcinoma adjacent to the internal carotid artery-A case report.

Key Clinical Message: In cases adjacent to critical structures, such as the internal carotid artery, surgeons should meticulously explore the feasibility of surgery before declaring the neoplasm unresectable.

Abstract: Salvage treatment for locally recurrent carcinoma of the nasopharynx constitutes a unique challenge. Surgery remains the gold standard treatment modality.

Repair of chronic and large rotator cuff tears using extra-synovial autografts: An experimental study in rabbits.

Purpose: To investigate whether and how extra-synovial autografts can enhance the reconstruction of chronic and large rotator cuff tears in a rabbit subscapularis model.

Methods: Twenty rabbits were used to create a large subscapularis tear bilaterally. Six weeks later, the right shoulder of each rabbit was operated to repair the tear with an extra-synovial autograft, whereas the left shoulder did not undergo any surgery.

Preperitoneal vas deferens infiltration in high-risk prostate cancer.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and the importance of preperitoneal vas deferens (VD) infiltration in high-risk prostate cancer (PCa).

Patients And Methods: In this prospectively designed study, we included 332 high-risk PCa patients with a Briganti score >5%, who were treated by robot-assisted radical prostatectomy between July 2017 and February 2022 at the Urology Department, SLK Kliniken Heilbronn. In addition to the standard histological analysis of the distal VD, which was attached to the prostate specimen, we analysed the infiltration status of preperitoneal VD in this cohort.

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia: A rare case report of prenatal treatment.

Fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) is a rare but serious condition. The first-line antenatal management of FNAIT consists of weekly IVIG with or without corticosteroids, ideally starting before 16 weeks of gestation.

Pure single-port retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy with the da Vinci SP: Initial experience and technique description.

Objective: To assess the feasibility and safety of pure single-port (SP) retzius-sparing robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) using the da Vinci SP and describe the technique.

Materials And Methods: From August 2020 to November 2020, data of 10 consecutive patients with localized prostate cancer, who underwent SP retzius-sparing RARP, were prospectively collected. Patients demographics, intraoperative variables, postoperative complications, early oncological, and functional outcomes were assessed.

Multilevel "fish-vertebra" sign in a patient with idiopathic osteoporosis.

"Fish-vertebra" is an uncommon deformity of vertebral body shape, consisting of central depression of the superior and inferior surfaces of vertebral bodies. It is characteristic in idiopathic osteoporosis and can help in the differential diagnosis of other conditions, such as osteomalacia, hyperparathyroidism, sickle cell disease, Paget disease, and multiple myeloma.

Avulsion fracture of the ischial tuberosity: A surgical dilemma.

The clinician should make the treatment choice considering the patient's requirements. Thus, surgical treatment can successfully achieve long-lasting satisfactory results and provide the best chance for a rapid return to sports.

Psychometric properties of dementia attitudes scale, dementia knowledge assessment tool 2 and confidence in dementia scale in a Greek sample.

Aim: Τo validate the Greek version of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Tool 2, the Dementia Attitudes Scale and Confidence in Dementia Scale.

Design: A quantitative cross-sectional design was applied for translation and validation. The STROBE checklist for observational research has been followed to this survey.

The influence of diversity on the measurement of functional impairment: An international validation of the Amsterdam IADL Questionnaire in eight countries.

Introduction: To understand the potential influence of diversity on the measurement of functional impairment in dementia, we aimed to investigate possible bias caused by age, gender, education, and cultural differences.

Methods: A total of 3571 individuals (67.1 ± 9.
