Evaluation of the clinical efficacy of pedicle screw fixation combined with hemiarthroplasty versus simple hemiarthroplasty in elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures of the femur.

Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are among the most common traumatic injuries. Reduction of dorsoulnar fragments combined with volar locking plate fixation yields satisfactory outcomes. However, conventional fluoroscopy-guided techniques present inherent limitations in accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of ultrasound-guided reduction of dorsoulnar fragment (DUF) combined with volar locking plate fixation for DRFs.

Intrahepatic bile duct stones (IHBDS) are characterized by a high postoperative recurrence rate. Their pathophysiological core lies in a vicious cycle of bile stasis, infection, and inflammation. Inflammatory responses play a crucial role in the onset, progression, and recurrence of IHBDS. This study aimed to evaluate the predictive performance of the preoperative systemic inflammation response index (SIRI) for postoperative recurrence in patients with IHBDS.

This study evaluates the impact of a responsibility system management model in patients undergoing internal fixation for pelvic fractures, by examining the incidence of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and postoperative pelvic functional recovery.

This study aims to compare the clinical efficacy of intramedullary nail combined with plate and intramedullary nail combined with titanium cable approaches in the treatment of femoral subtrochanteric fractures.

The objective of this study is to explore the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) combined with modified radical mastectomy on immune function, oxidative stress and prognosis in patients with different molecular subtypes of breast cancer (BC).

To investigate the impact of femoral offset (FO) reconstruction on postoperative hip function recovery and complication rates following total hip arthroplasty (THA) via the posterolateral approach.

To evaluate the clinical efficacy and functional outcomes of autologous tendon grafting in reconstructing Rockwood type III-V acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations, and to compare its performance with conventional titanium fixation.

The optimal surgical strategy for clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains under active investigation. This study aimed to compare the perioperative outcomes, functional preservation, and short-term oncologic results between individualized segmentectomy and standard lobectomy.

Pneumothorax is a prevalent thoracic disorder, with management strategies primarily consisting of conservative treatment and minimally invasive surgery. However, their long-term efficacy remains controversial. This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare clinical outcomes between these two approaches.

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) improves surgical outcomes in gastric cancer, yet its effect on early postoperative mental health remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the association between NACT and postoperative anxiety and depression.

Insufficient awareness among clinicians regarding the performance of light-curing devices may lead to inadequate polymerization, which can ultimately compromise the long-term success of dental restorations. This study aimed to examine the radiant power of different light-curing unit (LCU) brands by using three types of radiometers in terms of clinic and LCU types, age, tip diameter, and LCU tip condition in the Aseer region.

Nipple-sparing mastectomy has become an increasingly preferred surgical option for selected breast cancer patients, enabling immediate breast reconstruction with either prosthetic implants or autologous tissues while ensuring oncologic safety alongside favorable aesthetic and psychosocial outcomes. Despite its benefits, managing local recurrence remains a clinical concern. Current guidelines recommend complete excision when feasible, following the principles of conservative surgery. However, a standardized classification of local recurrence after conservative mastectomy is still lacking. This review aims to gather current evidence on the incidence, characteristics, and treatment of local recurrence following nipple-sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction. Additionally, it seeks to propose the development of a standardized classification system to support treatment decision-making and future research.

Adverse events associated with stent-grafts during complex aortic procedures are rare but can be difficult to manage. These occurrences can be reduced by precise planning and anticipating complications by considering the patient's anatomy and the characteristics of the graft. This paper describes an endovascular conversion following branched endovascular aneurysm repair (b-EVAR) for a pararenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (pAAA) caused by the distal displacement of the stent-graft during delivery system retrieval. A replanned endovascular strategy (endoconversion) was performed by the deployment of another b-EVAR as a bailout technique. Technical success was obtained and the post-operative course and follow-up was uneventful. High technical skills with the ability to predict and manage complications can play a crucial role in the management of intraoperative adverse events.

Recently, there have been studies on various parameters that can be used to diagnose and follow up thyroid malignancies. These parameters are mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte/monocyte ratio (LMR), and different results have been reported regarding their diagnostic and prognostic effects. Therefore, there is a need for more comprehensive studies on the use of these parameters in diagnosis and follow-up. In this study, we planned to reveal whether MPV, NLR, PLR, and LMR can be used as biomarkers for thyroid carcinomas and whether they differ according to tumor type and size.

The demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is projected to double over the next decade; consequently, the incidence of periprosthetic fractures associated with TKA is also rising. One of the most frequently used constructs is a single lateral locking plate, chosen for its ease of application and familiarity. However, single lateral plating has been associated with a high incidence of nonunion, complications, and revision. Augmenting the lateral plate construct with a medial plate decreases the likelihood of failure, offering stronger fixation for low periprosthetic fractures. The aim of this study was to review the existing literature on dual plating for distal femoral fractures in patients undergoing TKA.

Differentiating complicated appendicitis (CA) from uncomplicated appendicitis (UA) is a critical aspect of preoperative evaluation that influences surgical planning and patient outcomes. This study explored the role of the immature granulocyte count (IG#) and percentage (IG%) as accessible and reliable biomarkers to enhance the diagnostic precision of CA.

Diverticular disease (DD) is one of the most common benign gastrointestinal conditions in the Western world, with a range of clinical manifestations from uncomplicated symptoms to acute complications requiring surgery. Elective sigmoidectomy is indicated in cases of Complicated Diverticular Disease (CDD) after recovery, Symptomatic Uncomplicated Diverticular Disease (SUDD), and Recurrent Diverticulitis (RD). This study aims to assess the short- and long-term outcomes of a standardized surgical approach for DD.

To evaluate the sedative effect of remimazolam tosilate and its impact on iatrogenic stress and immune function biomarkers, in order to explore its feasibility and potential advantages as a novel sedative for mechanically ventilated Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients.
