Bicycle-Related Acetabular Fractures Are Associated with Anterior Column Involvement: A Multicenter Study with an Exploratory Analysis of Clipless Pedal Use

Background/Objectives: Cycling-related acetabular fractures have not been well described. We aimed to determine the proportion of acetabular fractures associated with bicycle accidents and to compare their fracture patterns with those caused by other mechanisms. Findings related...

Radiofrequency Ablation for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma versus Surgery and Other Thermal Ablation Techniques: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Outcomes

Background: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been proposed for selected patients with low-risk papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). This study compared the effectiveness, safety, and procedural characteristics of RFA with those of surgery and other thermal ablation techniques. Met...

Surgical outcomes of trabecular micro-bypass minimally invasive glaucoma surgery devices in eyes with high myopia: a 24-month retrospective multicenter cohort study

BACKGROUND: To describe outcomes of two trabecular bypass minimally invasive glaucoma surgery (MIGS) devices in highly myopic (HM) eyes with glaucoma up to 24 months postoperatively. METHODS: A retrospective, observational multicenter study of HM eyes (phakic refractive spherical...

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-...

Adolescent arm wrestling–related medial epicondyle fractures: carrying angle and body mass index as associated anatomic and anthropometric factors

Medial epicondyle fractures during arm wrestling are rare but potentially debilitating injuries in adolescents, with previous reports limited to small case series of fewer than 10 patients. The anatomic and anthropometric factors predisposing adolescents to this injury pattern re...

Exploring laboratory and clinical factors associated with sudden unexpected death in patients receiving palliative care

Sudden unexpected death (SUD) in palliative care can disrupt care planning and cause substantial emotional distress for patients and their families. This study aimed to identify clinical and laboratory factors associated with SUD in patients receiving palliative care. We retrospe...

Comparing the Efficacy and Tolerability of Two 0.3% Hyaluronic Acid Eye Drop Preparations for Dry Eye Disease: a Randomized Trial

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a new 0.3% non-preservative low viscosity hyaluronic acid (HA) preparation (Kynex 3), compared to the same concentration of HA (Hyalein Mini 0.3%) for the treatment of dry eye disease. Methods: A prospective, single-center, ra...

Predicting clinical dementia rating scores from neuropsychological testing: a machine learning study in a large clinical cohort

To reduce variability of Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) assessments taken from raters and informants, quantitative and reproducible approaches to support consistent interpretation are needed. We developed multiclass classification models of CDR global and regression models of CDR...

Per Protocol Analysis and Long‐Term Outcomes of Laparoscopic Radical Resection for Gallbladder Cancer Compared With Open Method

BACKGROUND: Although laparoscopic radical resection for gallbladder (GB) cancer has been attempted, only a limited number of studies have evaluated its outcomes using a per-protocol analytical approach. METHODS: Between January 2010 and December 2019, 213 patients underwent surge...

Comparison of autologous platelet-rich plasma injection with air tamponade versus C3F8 tamponade in idiopathic full-thickness macular hole surgery

Vitrectomy, combined with internal limiting membrane peeling and gas tamponade, is the gold standard for treating full-thickness macular holes (FTMH). However, prolonged intraocular tamponade duration often causes patient discomfort and delays visual recovery, necessitating the n...

Optimal surgical margin and the efficacy of adjuvant radiotherapy in borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors: a multicenter retrospective study

Purpose: Optimal management of borderline and malignant phyllodes tumors (PT) is not well established, especially regarding margin width and the use of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT).This multicenter study aimed to identify prognostic factors and to assess the effectiveness of adjuva...
