Article Abstract
Objective: To summarize our 10-year experience with percutaneous fluoroscopically guided removal (PFGR) of metallic foreign body (MFB) in the soft tissue.
Methods: PFGR was performed in 65 patients for removing a total of 368 MFBs from the soft tissues. The MFBs ranged from 0.2 to 0.3 cm in length embedded in the soft tissue for 7 days to 8 years. For superficial MFBs, the MFBs were removed directly with curved forceps under real time fluoroscopy. For deep MFBs, trocar technique was applied using the instruments for percutaneous diskectomy, with the outer cannula inserted toward the foreign body under real-time fluoroscopy followed by MFB removal by grasping forceps.
Results: A total of 346 MFBs were successfully removed without any serious complications (success rate 94.0%), including 154 removed directly and 192 MFBs with trocal technique. The time of the procedures and radiation exposure for MFB removal was 30 s to 20 min and 1-6 min, respectively.
Conclusion: PGFR of MFBs in the soft tissue under fluoroscope is safe and effective. Direct removal using curved forceps is suitable for MFBs in superficial soft tissues, while trocal techniques needs to be utilized for deep MFBs.

The development of continuous-release devices or injectables for the long-term delivery of biologics is of great interest, especially monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that require frequent, high-dose injections. Preclinical testing of these technologies in murine models is necessary for clinical translation; however, xenogeneic responses to the mAb and foreign body responses to the implants or injectables can confound results. Immune system knockout (KO) models that affect immune cells are often used in these experiments, but the effects of KO models on mAb pharmacokinetics (PK) are not well characterized.

Achieving stable and continuous monitoring of signals of numerous single neurons in the brain faces the conflicting challenge of increasing the microelectrode count while minimizing cross-sectional shank dimensions to reduce tissue damage, foreign-body-reaction and maintain signal quality. Passive probes need to route each microelectrode individually to external electronics, thus increasing shank size and tissue-damage as the number of electrodes grows. Active complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) probes overcome the limitation in electrode count and density with on-probe frontend, addressing and multiplexing circuits, but current probes have relatively large shank widths of 70 - 100 μm.

This study presents a medico-legal case study of an infant who died as a result of intestinal volvulus, a rare but severe complication secondary to the ingestion of multiple magnets and button batteries. The mutual attraction of magnets through adjacent intestinal loops, compounded by the corrosive effects of button batteries, can precipitate rapid and irreversible damage to the gastrointestinal wall. A comprehensive review of the literature on documented pediatric cases involving the ingestion of magnets and button batteries was undertaken to compare the spectrum and frequency of complications.

Introduction And Importance: Foreign body ingestion is a significant clinical concern, particularly among elderly and psychiatric patients, often leading to complications such as intestinal obstruction. In this article, we present an intriguing case of dual intestinal and urinary obstruction caused by the ingestion of a dental bridge in a patient with Bricker urinary diversion. Through this rare case, we aim to explore the diagnostic and therapeutic challenges associated with such incidents, supported by a comprehensive review of the literature.

Background: The use of mass media is recommended to improve public awareness of first aid and enhance the motivation of laypeople to provide life-saving help. This study aimed to investigate practices of reporting incidents of foreign body airway obstruction (FBAO) in online news media, particularly in terms of whether and how information concerning first aid is presented.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study that analyzed the content of news articles published within a 2-year timeframe, which reported cases of fatal FBAO that happened in India and the United Kingdom (UK).
