The purpose of this study is to describe a modified technique for a minimally invasive approach to in situ ulnar nerve decompression and to provide long-term follow-up. Thirty-one patients were included. DASH and MHQ scores were measured. Mean postoperative DASH score was 10. Eighty percent of patients achieved a postoperative DASH score under 10. Average postoperative MHQ scores were as follows: overall hand function 89, activities of daily living 93, work 92, pain 7, esthetics 95, and satisfaction 84. There were no postoperative neurological complications. No patient required open decompression or transposition. There were no wound complications. This technique addresses all points of possible compression, results in outcomes similar to those reported in the literature, and results in excellent cosmesis. It is a simple and safe technique that avoids the complexities of endoscopy and transposition and has proven to be successful.

Introduction: The effect of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) on adverse in-hospital outcomes after radical prostatectomy (RP) for nonmetastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is not well known.
Materials And Methods: Descriptive analyses, propensity score matching and multivariable logistic regression models were used within the National Inpatient Sample (2000-2019) RP patients, after stratification according to Crohn's disease (CD) vs. ulcerative colitis (UC) vs.

Purpose: This study presents the dose-based intra-preplan (DIP) method for intracavitary/interstitial brachytherapy (IC/ISBT) in cervical cancer, optimizing catheter configurations based on dose distribution. This study aimed to assess the DIP method's clinical feasibility and efficacy.
Methods And Materials: The DIP method incorporates the implant modeling function and the hybrid inverse planning optimization algorithm in Oncentra Brachy.

Objectives: To determine the incidence and subsequent complications of internal jugular vein (IJV) thrombosis after cannulation performed during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) to ensure adequate venous drainage during minimally invasive cardiac surgery.
Design: Single-center observational trial SETTINGS: Intensive care postoperative monitoring of cardiac surgery patients and diagnosis of IJV thrombi at a university tertiary hospital during the 13-month study period from December 1, 2022, to January 11, 2024.
Participants: 44 patients undergoing catheterization of the IJV for total CPB.

Background: During intense exercise, anaerobic metabolism predominantly produces energy in the body, resulting in lactic acid (LA) accumulation, which contributes to muscle fatigue and soreness and may also impair neurological and cardiovascular functions. In endurance sports, the lactate threshold (LT) is a key indicator of an athlete's capacity to clear and utilize LA, directly influencing athletic performance and endurance. Therefore, LA detection is crucial for assessing the physical condition of both athletes and the general population, as well as for optimizing training programs.

Background: Morbid obesity is a well-established risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Diastolic dysfunction, particularly in non-cardiac surgeries, has been associated with increased incidence of adverse cardiovascular events. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of diastolic dysfunction in morbidly obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery and to identify associated clinical risk factors using transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
