We found that individuals with SOT exhibited increased rsFC within the ECN compared with controls, while schizotypal individuals exhibited the opposite. Individuals with OCS exhibited decreased rsFC within the ECN and between the ECN and the default mode network (DMN), relative to controls. No significant correlational results between altered rsFC related to the ECN with executive function performance were found after corrections for multiple comparisons in three subclinical groups. Our findings showed that individuals with SOT had increased rsFC within the ECN, while schizotypal individuals and individuals with OCS showed the opposite. Our findings provide evidence for possible neural substrates of subclinical comorbidity of OCS and schizotypy.As the demand for research within orthopaedic surgery continues to grow, it is important to emphasize appropriate data reporting. Insufficient statistical reporting confounds data interpretation and makes it difficult to compare results. Currently, there are no guidelines for reporting results within the orthopaedic literature. This article discusses the importance of appropriate data reporting and proposes guidelines for presenting orthopaedic data to highlight clinical relevance rather than statistical significance.
Minimally invasive surgery in the posterior knee is high risk for iatrogenic injury to popliteal neurovascularneurovasculature structures. This study aimed to use reliable landmarks to define safe zones for arthroscopic portal placement into the posterior knee.

Distances were measured between bony landmarks and neurovascular structures within the popliteal fossa using 45 formalin-embalmed cadavers small saphenous vein (SSV), medial (MCSN) and lateral (LCSN) cutaneous sural nerves, tibial nerve (TN), common fibular nerve (CFN), popliteal vein (PV) and artery (PA). The structures were measured in relation to medial (MEF) and lateral (LEF) femoral epicondyle, medial (MCT) and lateral (LCT) tibial condyle and the midpoint between the landmarks.

The mean distance (mm) between MEF and structures was, male and female, respectively SSV 37.6 + 12.5, 37.9 + 8.2; MCSN 39.2 + 14, 38.8 + 10.1; TN 39.4 + 10.2, 38.0 + 8.1; PV 38.4 + 12.9, 32.8 + 5.6; PA 38.4 + 12.1, 34.6 + 4.9. At midpoint and MCT all structures median the two landmarks in males and 12 mm in females. These landmarks will allow safe portal placement in 99% of cases.
Total joint arthroplasties aim to improve quality of life from joint-related pain. Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood products due to their religious beliefs. Surgeons may be reluctant to perform arthroplasty procedures on these patients for fear of uncontrolled bleeding. However, we hypothesize that through preoperative optimization, arthroplasty can be performed safely.

We retrospectively reviewed 184 total joint arthroplasties in Jehovah's Witnesses between 2011 and 2019. Each patient was enrolled in the institutions' Bloodless Medicine program. Hemoglobin levels were recorded through standard laboratory testing while in the hospital. Primary outcomes were changes in preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin measures, short-term outcomes measures, and complications.

A total of 103 total knee arthroplasties (8 revisions) and 81 total hip arthroplasties (5 revisions) were performed. Hemoglobin drift was 2.5 ± 1.0 for primary TKA and 2.6 ± 1.3 for primary THA (p = 0.570). Hemoglobin drift was 1.9 ± 0.9 fo data suggest that primary arthroplasty is safe in the Jehovah's Witness population. Additionally, we show preliminary evidence that revision arthroplasty is safe in Jehovah's Witness patients.
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the biomechanical behavior of three fixations for Pauwels type III fractures (sliding hip screw (SHS), L-shaped, and L-shaped with medial plate), by finite element analysis (FEM).

Three internal fixators were developed to treat Pauwels type III fracture by finite elements SHS; L-shaped; and L-shaped with medial plate. Under the same conditions, localized and total vertical fracture displacement, maximum and minimum principal and von Mises stresses were evaluated.

The localized and total vertical displacement evaluated for the SHS, L-shaped, and L-shaped with medial plate were 0.15mm, 0.17mm, and 0.07mm (localized), and 4.52mm, 6.97mm, and 6.83mm (total), respectively. The maximum values obtained in the upper region of the femoral neck for the internal fixations were 1.43MPa, 1.29MPa, and 1.24MPa, and the minimum values obtained in the lower region of the femoral neck were  - 0.73MPa,  - 1.09MPa, and  - 1.03MPa, respectively. The maximum Von Mises peak stress values weructions. These results demonstrate that both constructions, SHS and L-shaped plus a medial plate, are biomechanically efficient for the fixation of Pauwels type III femoral neck fractures.In this work, the use of gold and gold alloy plaques is proposed for the first time, to reduce the dose to healthy organs in brachytherapy with Ir-192 sources. GSK'963 in vitro For dose simulations in tumour and healthy tissue, the MCNPX Monte Carlo code was used. The radiation source implemented in those simulations was benchmarked with well-known TG-43 criteria of dose rate constant, air-kerma strength, radial dose function, and 2D anisotropy function. For various arrangements of iridium sources and plaques of gold and gold alloy of various thicknesses, the dose distributions in an esophagus tumour and in surrounding healthy organs were simulated. The results showed that while the dose to the tumour is not much affected by the presence of gold plaques with a thickness of 3.5 mm in an optimized 192Ir sources' configuration, a relative reduction in average organ dose of 64%, 65%, 73%, 67%, and 35% was observed, for esophagus, thyroid, heart, stomach, and liver, respectively. Moreover, it was found that a gold plaque leads to smaller doses to healthy organs than a gold alloy plaque. It is concluded that gold plaques can be used to improve the treatment of esophageal cancer by HDR brachytherapy and to protect surrounding non-target organs.
