Incidental intestinal parasitic infections detected during colonoscopy: A case series of hookworm in a Cambodian immigrant and whipworm in Korean patients

Intestinal helminth infections have become uncommon in Korea but still occur sporadically, either as residual native infections or as imported infections among immigrants. We retrospectively reviewed 4 cases of intestinal helminth infections incidentally identified during colonos...

Prognostic implications of the duration of continuous kidney replacement therapy in 3-month survivors of acute kidney injury: findings from the LINKA cohort

The duration of continuous kidney replacement therapy (CKRT) represents a complex clinical surrogate reflecting the severity of systemic illness, the rate of metabolic recovery, and clinical decision-making regarding treatment discontinuation. The effect of CKRT duration on long-...

Three-Year Outcomes of Drug-Eluting Stents, Drug-Coated Balloons, and Non-Drug-Eluting Devices in Native Femoropopliteal Artery Disease: An Analysis of the K-VIS ELLA Registry

Background: Although drug-eluting devices have demonstrated improved efficacy in femoropopliteal artery (FPA) disease, evidence on their long-term clinical outcomes in realworld practice remains limited.Methods: Using data from the multicenter Korean Vascular Intervention Society...

Combined Ramp Lesion and Lateral Meniscus Root Tear Increase Rotational and Translational Instability in an Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Deficient Knee: A Cadaveric Study

Purpose To evaluate knee instability associated with combined ramp lesion and lateral meniscus posterior root tear (LMRT) in an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)‐deficient knee (the new terrible triad). Methods Ten cadaveric knees were tested biomechanically. Internal rotation (IR...

Niche-resolved transcriptional programs and ΔNp63/NRF2-associated enrichment in post-chemoradiation esophageal squamous cell carcinoma

Spatial organization in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma resection specimens after chemoradiation remains poorly characterized. We profiled 56 patients using Visium spatial transcriptomics and identified eight niches. All 37 evaluated transcriptional signatures showed marked va...

Stiffness-Dependent Mechanotransductive Signaling in Silicone Implant-Associated Fibrotic Encapsulation

Abstract Fibrotic encapsulation remains a major limitation of silicone-based soft-tissue implants and contributes to capsular contracture. Although biochemical and immunological factors have been extensively investigated, the contribution of implant stiffness to the peri-implant...

Preoperative Thrombocytopenia Increases In-Hospital Burden but Not Postoperative Adverse Events After Total Knee Arthroplasty

Background/Objectives: Thrombocytopenia increases bleeding tendency and may complicate perioperative management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), yet data on both in-hospital burden and post-discharge adverse events are limited. This study evaluated the association between preope...

Optimizing perioperative systemic dexamethasone use in total knee arthroplasty: a narrative review on current evidence

Abstract Background Perioperative corticosteroids, particularly dexamethasone, have become a widely adopted component of multimodal pain management in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). While clinical practice guidelines strongly recommend their use, detailed guidance on optimal dosi...
