This study describes the use of the bilobed myocutaneous (MC) flap for reconstruction of trunk defect. The authors employ this flap because it offers a greater flexibility in the use of available tissue than many other local conventional flaps, is easy to design, safe to elevate, and causes minimal donor-site morbidity. The bilobed MC flaps are based on their main muscular pedicle. The standard bilobed flaps are generally based on a random pattern blood supply, which were restricted to rigid length-to-width ratios to ensure viability. They are usually indicated in the repair of small defects of the nose, and scalp. When we want to apply to reconstruct on the larger trunk defect, especially for the potential to cause life-threatening complications, the bilobed M-C flap might be considered for reconstruction to decrease the potential risk of the complications.

Background: Four-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (4D-MRI) holds great promise for precise abdominal radiotherapy guidance. However, current 4D-MRI methods are limited by an inherent trade-off between spatial and temporal resolutions, resulting in compromised image quality characterized by low spatial resolution and significant motion artifacts, hindering clinical implementation. Despite recent advancements, existing methods inadequately exploit redundant frame information and struggle to restore structural details from highly undersampled acquisitions.

Objective Low-dose interior tomography integrates low-dose CT (LDCT) with region-of-interest (ROI) imaging which finds wide application in radiation dose reduction and high-resolution imaging. However, the combined effects of noise and data truncation pose great challenges for accurate tomographic reconstruction. This study aims to develop a novel reconstruction framework that achieves high-quality ROI reconstruction and efficient extension of recoverable region to provide innovative solutions to address coupled ill-posed problems.

ObjectivePeritoneal injury is a common complication during totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair, potentially affecting surgical outcomes and patient recovery. Identifying risk factors associated with peritoneal injury is crucial to improving surgical techniques and optimizing patient care.MethodsThis retrospective study analyzed data from 334 patients who underwent totally extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair between August 2019 and April 2024.

Objective: To determine if two-dimensional (2D) video-based angular measurements obtained during dynamic tasks predict secondary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in female athletes post-ACL reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Female athletes post-ACLR underwent 2D video assessment during six tasks (step down, drop jump, lateral shuffle, deceleration, triple hop and side-step-cut) before returning to sport. Reinjury status was determined via survey after returning to sport (N=345).

Introduction: Abdominal perineal resection (APR) is a surgical procedure for rectal cancer that frequently results in perineal wound surgical site infections (SSI), particularly in high-risk patients undergoing preoperative treatment. SSI after APR is associated with prolonged hospital stay, increased medical costs, and delayed initiation of adjuvant chemotherapy, potentially leading to poor prognosis. Although omentoplasty and myocutaneous flap reconstruction have been used to prevent SSI, they are not always feasible.
