A novel stiffness-distribution-controlled hybrid locking compression plate for osteoporotic midshaft clavicle fractures: a finite element study

Abstract Background Fixation of osteoporotic midshaft clavicle fractures in elderly patients requires a careful balance between mechanical integrity and anatomical compatibility. Conventional single-diameter locking plate systems present an inherent trade-off, as larger plates pr...

Optic Neuritis in a Patient with Morning Glory Syndrome: A Case Report

Purpose: To describe a rare case of optic neuritis in a Morning glory syndrome (MGS) patient and to highlight the diagnostic challenges posed by congenital optic disc anomalies.Case summary: A 45-year-old woman presented with a 5-day history of an inferonasal visual field defect,...

Transporter Interactionsof Methoxyflavones and Their In Vivo PharmacokineticImplications

Abstract Flavonoids are widely consumed dietary polyphenols that modulate drug disposition via membrane transporters. Increasing attention has been paid to methoxyflavones (MeO-FLVs) because methoxylation can increase membrane permeability and metabolic stability, potentially ele...

Early refractive stability and predictive accuracy of a novel hydrophobic C-loop monofocal intraocular lens in eyes with normal axial length

This study aimed to evaluate the early postoperative refractive stabilization pattern and time course associated with a novel hydrophobic C-loop monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) following phacoemulsification cataract surgery. This retrospective study evaluated patients who underw...

Effects of Seat-Integrated Low-Frequency Acoustic Vibration on Muscle Mechanical Properties and Electromyographic Responses During Real-World Driving

Prolonged driving is associated with musculoskeletal loading, muscle fatigue, and discomfort, which may adversely affect driver performance and well-being. This study investigated the effects of seat-integrated low-frequency acoustic vibration on muscle mechanical properties and...
