Article Abstract
The goal of this study was to analyse perceptually and acoustically the voices of patients with Unilateral Vocal Fold Paralysis (UVFP) and compare them to the voices of normal subjects. These voices were analysed perceptually with the GRBAS scale and acoustically using the following parameters: mean fundamental frequency (F0), standard-deviation of F0, jitter (ppq5), shimmer (apq11), mean harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR), mean first (F1) and second (F2) formants frequency, and standard-deviation of F1 and F2 frequencies. Statistically significant differences were found in all of the perceptual parameters. Also the jitter, shimmer, HNR, standard-deviation of F0, and standard-deviation of the frequency of F2 were statistically different between groups, for both genders. In the male data differences were also found in F1 and F2 frequencies values and in the standard-deviation of the frequency of F1. This study allowed the documentation of the alterations resulting from UVFP and addressed the exploration of parameters with limited information for this pathology.

Purpose: To evaluate choroidal vasculature using a novel three-dimensional algorithm in fellow eyes of patients with unilateral chronic central serous chorioretinopathy (cCSC).
Methods: Patients with unilateral cCSC were retrospectively included. Automated choroidal segmentation was conducted using a deep-learning ResUNet model.

ObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of bilateral decompression combined with a unilateral transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion approach in centralizing a lordotic cage and preventing contralateral radiculopathy by ensuring equal foraminal elevation.MethodsThis is a retrospective cohort study based on clinical records and radiological data. Eighty-seven patients diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis at L3-S1 levels underwent bilateral decompression and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion between 2017 and 2022.

Purpose: The posterior tibial slope (PTS) plays a key role in knee biomechanics and may influence the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture as well as the outcomes of its reconstruction. We hypothesised that a steeper medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) would be associated with an increased risk of bilateral ACL reconstruction compared to unilateral reconstruction. This study aimed to test this hypothesis by comparing the MPTS between patients undergoing unilateral ACL reconstruction (uniACLR) and those requiring non-simultaneous bilateral ACL reconstruction (biACLR), using radiographic imaging.

We describe a case of unilateral sectoral pigmentation of the optic disc in a healthy 58‑year‑old female who presented with decreased vision and visual field defect in the involved eye since childhood. The patient was initially diagnosed with melanocytoma of the optic nerve given the suggestive clinical appearance. Thorough assessment with magnetic resonance imaging studies, laboratory work-ups and ophthalmic examination indicated that the pigmentation was linked to optic nerve hypoplasia.

Purpose: To compare analgesic outcomes between single- and multi-orifice epidural catheters at a 360-mL/h delivery rate during programmed intermittent epidural bolus.
Patients And Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blinded controlled trial, 102 healthy nulliparous parturients requesting labor analgesia at the Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital were enrolled from July to September 2023. Participants were given either single- or multi-orifice catheters for epidural analgesia (0.
