Article Abstract
Purpose: To compare the outcomes of three techniques for removing internal angular dermoid cysts: lid crease, sub-brow, and direct mini-incision.
Methods: In this single-center trial, 47 children with internal angular dermoids were enrolled and randomly assigned to one of three surgical groups: group A, sub-brow, group B, lid crease, and group C, direct mini-incision. Outcome measures were operative time, postoperative scar quality using Stony Brook Scar Evaluation Scale (SBSES), scar visibility, and family satisfaction.
Results: In each group, fifteen patients completed follow-up and were analysed. The operation time (median/IQR) in Group C was significantly shorter (10/5 min) compared with group A (25/10 min) and B (35/20 min) (p < 0.001). Group B had the least visible scar at all follow-up visits. Both group B and C showed superior scar quality using SBSES compared with group A at 6 months (p < 0.001). All families in group B (100%) found the scar excellent compared to 11 families in group C (40%) and 6 families in group A (73.3%). Persistent postoperative inflammation was noticed in two patients in group C. No cases of recurrence were recorded.
Conclusions: Both the lid crease and direct mini-incision approaches result in superior scar quality with minimum visibility compared with the sub-brow technique, however, the lid crease technique shows a prolonged operation time particularly for cysts outside the rim.

Customization of existing TPMS lattices to enhance biocompatibility and active cell proliferation area.

Triply periodic minimal surfaces have garnered significant interest in the field of biomaterial scaffolds due to their unique structural properties, including a high surface-to-volume (S/V) ratio, tunable permeability, and the potential for enhanced biocompatibility. Bone scaffolds necessitate specific features to effectively support tissue regeneration. This study examines the permeability and active cell proliferation area of advanced Triply Periodic Minimal Surface (TPMS) lattice structures, focusing on a novel lattice design.

The purpose of this study was to investigate if lumbopelvic-hip control was correlated with shoulder and elbow joint moments and drive leg ground reaction force (GRF) in high school baseball pitchers. The hypothesis was that poorer lumbopelvic-hip control would be correlated with higher joint moments and lower drive leg GRF.

Severe rigid scoliosis presents formidable surgical challenges, even for the most seasoned spine surgeons. Patients with idiopathic scoliosis frequently exhibit severe manifestations after years of progressive deformity, characterised by pronounced curves, significant rib humps, shoulder and trunk asymmetry, and cardiorespiratory complications associated with untreated scoliosis. In our practice, around one-third of patients with scoliosis present with advanced, severe, rigid scoliosis (>90° and 25 % correction on bending radiographs).

The effect of exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) on three-dimensional side cut biomechanics and task achievement were assessed in 16 team sport athletes (eight males and eight females) who completed 45° side cuts before and 48 h after multidirectional running. Angular displacement and joint moments of the hip and knee, and GRF impulse (IGRF) during five successful trials of a 45° side cut, were collected using a 3D motion capture system and force platform at both timepoints. At 48 h, participants had more knee internal rotation (p = 0.

With the continuous increase in mining activities, effective tailings management has become a critical concern in geotechnical and environmental engineering. This study systematically investigates the microstructural characteristics and 3D reconstruction behavior of copper tailings with different particle sizes using X-ray computed tomography (micro-CT), digital image processing, and 3D modeling techniques. Two particle size groups (fine: 0.
