Article Abstract

Intramedullary (IM) nailing for humeral shaft fracture has provided excellent outcomes in terms of fracture biology and cosmetic appearance because of the relatively small incision involved. However, antegrade nailing causes issues such as iatrogenic rotator cuff injury. Retrograde nail fixation method could avoid cuff injury, but has shortcomings such as the need for the prone or lateral decubitus position during surgery. We report that the retrograde IM nail fixation technique performed in a supine position and some ancillary techniques for minimizing scars or complications can provide the advantages of both retrograde nailing and supine position during surgery.

Study Design: Clinical investigations.

Methods: A retrospective study of 82 eyes of 82 patients who underwent vitrectomy by a single surgeon between November 2021 and March 2023.

Forensic identification at fire scenes faces three core challenges: distinguishing cause of death (antemortem burning versus postmortem corpse burning), reconstructing criminal behavior (arson versus accident), and preserving evidence (thermal destruction versus artificial tampering). This case study systematically demonstrates the application value of burn trace characteristics in arson investigation through a typical intentional homicide and corpse burning case. Based on a three-dimensional analytical framework of human burn-behavioral characteristics, a systematic pathway incorporating reconstruction of arson/corpse burning processes and identification of body relocation behavior was established.

Purpose: Supine breast MRI has the potential to improve over standard prone breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in terms of efficiency and image quality, image alignment with diagnostic and treatment procedures, and overall accessibility. This study aims to characterize potential technical challenges of imaging in the supine position: (i)  field inhomogeneities, (ii)  variations, (iii) respiratory-induced breast motion, and (iv) supine breast geometry.

Methods: Ten healthy subjects were scanned at 3T in both prone and supine positions to quantify and compare (i) and (ii) between both positions, and to assess (iii) in the supine position.

Remote Photoplethysmography (rPPG) promises to turn digital cameras into medical devices with the measurement of heart rates, oxygen saturation and the diagnosis arrhythmias already demonstrated. The face-centric nature of current rPPG techniques limits open-datasets from including subjects with clinically-relevant cardiorespiratory conditions without sharing private medical information. The neck, with few identifiable characteristics, is well suited to overcoming this limitation, as it serves as a region of interest (ROI) for pulse detection during jugular venous examination, a common clinical technique.
