Total energy expenditure assessed by doubly labeled water in patients with myotonic dystrophy type 1: Associations with body composition and functional status

Background & Aims Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is frequently associated with metabolic abnormalities and altered body composition, yet energy metabolism under free-living conditions remains incompletely characterized. This study aimed to characterize total energy expenditu...

Serial ultrafine endoscopic assessment of fibrin deposition and neomembrane formation in peritoneal dialysis patients using low glucose degradation product fluid

Preservation of the peritoneum is essential for the safe continuation of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Although PD fluid with low glucose degradation products (low GDP) are widely used, objective macroscopic assessment of the peritoneum during ongoing PD remains limited. We therefore...

Anterior impingement caused by synovial tissue in the intercondylar notch after robot-assisted cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty: a case report

Background Anterior knee pain and impingement are recognized complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), with causes including patella baja, patellofemoral maltracking, and implant design–related factors. However, synovial impingement in the intercondylar notch after cruci...
