Fitting accuracy of preformed osteosynthesis plates for zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures.

Background: Preformed osteosynthesis plates are a novel treatment option for the fixation of zygomaticomaxillary complex (ZMC) fractures. A preformed plate may improve the reduction accuracy, as an accurate fit and sufficient fixation possibilities are provided.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the virtual fitting accuracy of preformed anatomical osteosynthesis zygoma plates and to assess whether their shape and size are adequate for ZMC fracture treatment.

The value of white blood cell count and platelet count in predicting delayed cerebral ischemia after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Introduction: Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) contributes significantly to mortality and morbidity. Neuroinflammation and platelet activation are implicated in its pathophysiology.

Research Question: This study evaluates the association of admission white blood cell count (WBC) and platelet count (PC), and their combination, with DCI and explores their integration into predictive models.

Fifteen-Year Mortality Following Periprosthetic Joint Infection in Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Registry Study of 8,642 Revisions for Infection.

Background: Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a serious complication associated with notable loss of function, impaired quality of life, and excess short-term mortality. In this study, we aimed to report the impact of PJI on long-term mortality and its associated risk factors.

Methods: Using data from the Australian Orthopaedic Association National Joint Replacement Registry (AOANJRR), we used Kaplan-Meier estimates of survivorship and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) based on Australian period life tables to describe mortality rates following revision for PJI, aseptic revisions (excluding those for fracture), and unrevised primary TKA.

Search for a Neutral Gauge Boson with Nonuniversal Fermion Couplings in Vector Boson Fusion Processes in Proton-Proton Collisions at sqrt[s]=13 TeV.

The first search for a heavy neutral spin-1 gauge boson (Z^{'}) with nonuniversal fermion couplings produced via vector boson fusion processes and decaying to tau leptons or W bosons is presented. The analysis is performed using LHC data at sqrt[s]=13  TeV, collected from 2016 to 2018 with the CMS experiment and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138  fb^{-1}. The data are consistent with the standard model predictions.

Management of Isolated Axillary Recurrence in Breast Cancer: Is There a Role for Targeted Axillary Dissection?

Background The most optimal surgical strategy for ipsilateral isolated axillary recurrence (AR) in breast cancer is unknown. Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) has historically been implemented; however, there may be an evolving role for targeted axillary dissection (TAD). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on patients with invasive breast cancer, followed by AR.
