Article Abstract

Background: Choosing the appropriate treatment approach for a multifocal comminuted open fracture of humerus with severe soft tissue defect is a challenging issue, which could be interesting for every orthopedic surgeon especially for those working in the trauma centers.

Case Presentation: This study described an innovative approach using titanium elastic nailing to treat a multifocal comminuted open fracture of humerus with severe soft tissue defect. In this study, we report a 40-year-old Persian female patient in whom the treatment achieved complete fracture union and skin graft healing by elastic medullary nailing, vacuum dressing, and skin grafting.

Conclusions: Elastic medullary nailing is a viable option for reconstruction of simultaneous comminuted fracture and soft tissue defect.

Purpose: The study aims to compare the treatment recommendations generated by four leading large language models (LLMs) with those from 21 sarcoma centers' multidisciplinary tumor boards (MTBs) of the sarcoma ring trial in managing complex soft tissue sarcoma (STS) cases.

Methods: We simulated STS-MTBs using four LLMs-Llama 3.2-vison: 90b, Claude 3.

Introduction: subtalar dislocations, typical of high-energy trauma, are classified as medial, lateral, anterior or posterior depending on the deviation of the foot in relation to the talus. Lateral dislocation accounts for 17% of the total and has a worse prognosis. Immediate reduction is required to reduce the risk of sequelae, the incidence of which is around 90%.

CAR-T cell therapy, as a representative technology in cancer immunotherapy, has demonstrated notable success in the treatment of hematologic malignancies; however, a significant proportion of patients fail to achieve sustained remission. Through the analysis of bone marrow sequencing data prior to CD19 CAR-T cell therapy, we identified cellular adhesion as a pivotal factor influencing clinical outcomes. We developed a model to predict B-ALL treatment efficacy based on the core genes associated with cellular adhesion, which was validated in our clinical cohort.

This review concentrates on the electroactive ceramic biointerfaces inspired by bone piezoelectricity for advanced ceramic biomaterials. Bone generates electrical potentials through the piezoelectric properties of collagen fibrils and apatite minerals under mechanical loading. These electrical signals influence osteoconductivity and regenerative capacity by osteogenic cells.
