Introduction: Osteochondrosis dissecans (OCD) is a disease affecting the subchondral bone and the overlying articular cartilage. The etiology is most likely a combination of biological and mechanical factors. The incidence is highest in children >...

We compared the surgical outcomes and complications of refixation vs. exchange of dislocated intraocular lenses (IOLs) in patients who underwent transscleral suture fixation combined with pars plana vitrectomy for the treatment of IOL dislocation. A...

This study examines the announcement effects of convertible and warrant bond issues with embedded refixing option in Korea from January 2001 to December 2018. Refixing option denotes an adjustment right of the conversion price embedded in equity-link...

Study Design: Retrospective, descriptive observational study. Objective: The need for revision surgery after mandibular fractures is an indicator for severe postoperative complications. This study aimed to characterise this patient cohort, describe s...

Background and Objectives: To evaluate the surgical outcomes of intraocular lens (IOL) refixation with vitrectomy in patients with elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) due to IOL subluxation. Materials and Methods: Patients with elevated IOP due to IO...

We conducted a visual feature search experiment in which we varied the target-distractorsimilarity in four steps, the number of items (4, 6, and 8), and the presence of the target. In addition to classical search parameters like error rate and reacti...

The aim of this study was to evaluate gain and refixation saccades (covert and overt) using a video head impulse test (vHIT) in the horizontal and vertical planes in patients after the onset of unilateral acute vestibular neuritis (AVN). Thirty-five...

Introduction: The present study investigates the five-year outcomes of hip arthroscopy for cam or pincer-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and associated labral tears in a defined patient population. Methods: Patients who underwent hip arthrosc...

We describe a sequential multistaining protocol for immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and CyTOF imaging for formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens (FFPE) in the formalin gas-phase (FOLGAS), enabling sequential multistaining, independent f...

In reading, text difficulties increase the duration of eye fixation and the frequency of refixation and regression. The present article reviews previous attempts to quantify these effects based on the frequency of effect theory (FET), and links these...

Cartilage repair techniques for chondral defects in the hip are crucial for treating conditions like femoroacetabular impingement, developmental dysplasia, and osteonecrosis, especially in young patients to delay the progression of osteoarthritis. Th...

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals are easily blocked by urban canyons, tree-lined roads, and overpasses in urban environments, making it impossible to ensure continuous and reliable positioning using only GNSS, even with the widely us...

Background and objectives: Cartilage surgery constitutes a standard intervention in foot and ankle procedures. Currently, there is a lack of epidemiological data on its frequency, age distribution, and surgical options for cartilage surgery. This stu...

The ability to shift attention between relevant stimuli is crucial in everyday life and allows us to focus on relevant events. It develops during early childhood and is often impaired in clinical populations, as can be investigated in the fixation sh...

Purpose: Several suture techniques have been described in the past for direct ACL repair with poor healing capacity and a high re-rupture rate. Therefore, we investigated a refixation technique for acute primary proximal ACL repair. The purpose of th...

Oculomotor error leads to a proportion of saccades during reading missing their intended target. Two kinds of mislocation occur: either a word is erroneously re-fixated, or a word that was about to skipped is erroneously fixated. In both cases record...

The present study investigated how eye movements were associated with performance accuracy during sight-reading. Participants performed a complex span task in which sequences of single quarter note symbols that either enabled chunking or did not enab...

The Weil osteotomy is an established procedure to reduce plantar pressure in chronic metatarsalgia. Historically, the refixation of the displaced metatarsal head is performed by screw fixation. We aimed to demonstrate that screw fixation is not alway...

The development of post-traumatic osteoarthrosis after tibial plateau fracture (TPF) is multifactorial and can only be partially influenced by surgical treatment. There is no standardized method for assessing pre- and postoperative knee joint laxity....

The question of trace metal elements (TME) is still relevant and causes several environmental problems. Moreover, the digestion methods of TME have a significant impact on ecosystems. Sample preparation is an important step of any analytical procedur...

Weil osteotomy is a proven procedure to restore the harmonic distal parabola of the forefoot. In addition to the proximal displacement of the head in the sagittal plane, a displacement in the transverse plane may be necessary, with the refixation of...

(1) Quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a rare pathology, usually occurring in elderly patients with comorbidities, requiring surgical therapy. The aim of this study was to analyze rupture patterns and concomitant injuries using preoperative magnetic...

Blunt high-energy chest trauma is often associated with thoracic and abdominal organ injuries. Literature for a hyperextension-distraction mechanism resulting in a costal arch fracture combined with a thoracic spine fracture is sparse. A 65-year-old...

Background: Various risk factors affecting outcome of elderly patients after proximal femur fracture have been identified. The present study aims to evaluate the impact of the fracture pattern in trochanteric fractures on postoperative mobility and c...

The attempt to quietly fixate at a small visual object is continuously interrupted by a variety of fixational eye movements comprising, among others, a continuum of saccadic intrusions (SI) which range in size from microsaccades with amplitudes...

Drought is a major stressor affecting tree physiology and is expected to intensify under climate extremes. Stems, partly due to their photosynthetic capacity, tend to be more drought-resilient than leaves. This study aimed to assess stem photosynthet...

Research on the long-term outcomes following surgical therapy for osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is scarce. A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted to investigate surgically treated patients for knee OCD between 1993 and...

Background/Objectives: Reports on type V FDP tendon avulsions and their treatment are rare. Furthermore, they are not always classified in a consistent manner in the literature. The purpose of our retrospective data analysis was to evaluate and prese...

Background: Recently, the T2 alpha nailing system (Stryker, Inc.), which has advanced locking screws that can attach a screw to a rod, has been used worldwide and is expected to improve fracture fixation. We analyzed two cases of supracondylar femora...

Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM), one of three kinds of photosynthesis, is a water-use efficient adaptation to an arid environment. CAM is characterized by CO2 uptake via open stomata during the nighttime and refixation CO2 via the Calvin cycle dur...

Objective: Most neurological diseases are usually accompanied by changes in the oculomotor nerve. Analysis of different types of eye movements will help provide important information in ophthalmology, neurology, and psychology. At present, many schol...

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between age and sex in regard to the development of deep sternal wound infections and sternal instability following median sternotomy. Methods: A propensity-score-matching analysis...

The objective of this study was to investigate and compare the effectiveness of toothpastes containing bioactives to relieve dentin hypersensitivity with that of a commercial desensitizing toothpaste containing REFIX technology, associated or not wit...

Background/Objectives: The most frequent neurologic cause of recurrent vertigo is vestibular migraine (VM). However, its diagnosis relies primarily on patients’ histories, as specific diagnostic tests for VM are currently lacking. We aimed to e...

Background and Objectives: There have been numerous advances in spine surgery for metastatic spinal tumors, and minimally invasive spine stabilization (MISt) is becoming increasingly popular in Japan. MISt is a minimally invasive fixation procedure t...
