Article Abstract
The use of the electrocardiogram (ECG) in critical care settings is a long-established cardiovascular monitoring tool. The effectiveness of the routine 12-lead ECG relies on accurate lead placement that is consistent and replicable. Improper lead placement may display erroneous ECG patterns and affect patient management decisions. In the setting of an acute injury, such as a torso burn to the ventral surface, accurate lead placement may be compromised or impossible. The regional burn center, which is part of our organization, sees approximately 500 patients per year. Of those patients, burns to the chest accounted for 21% of admissions during 2020 and 2021. This significant fraction of burn injury patients requires modification of our standard approach to provide an accurate ECG. Baseline ECGs are routinely acquired on the burn unit per protocol and for monitoring of patient response to numerous pharmaceutical therapies.

Camera-assisted and navigated single-position prone transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion: illustrative case.

Background: Single-position prone transpsoas lateral lumbar interbody fusion (PTP-LLIF) is an evolving minimally invasive surgery technique that merges the biomechanical and anatomical advantages of prone positioning with the LLIF approach. While PTP-LLIF enhances lumbar lordosis restoration and operative efficiency by eliminating patient repositioning, it presents unique ergonomic and visualization challenges for surgeons. This technical report describes a novel modification of the technique using the Teligen camera to improve intraoperative visualization and reduce surgeon fatigue.

Posterior lumbar screw fixation is the most common surgical method for lumbar disc herniation, but patients often face multiple complications postoperatively. The occurrence of screw track loosening can lead to fusion failure and even life-threatening screw track extrusion. However, there is currently a lack of animal models specifically targeting changes in the screw track following lumbar screw fixation.

Simultaneously enhancing the crop yield and reducing nitrous oxide (NO) emissions presents a critical challenge in sustainable agriculture. The application of nitrogen (N) fertilizer is a key strategy to enhance crop yield. However, conventional N application practices often lead to excessive soil N accumulation, insufficient crop N uptake and elevated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

Freezing of gait (FoG) is a disabling symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) characterized by involuntary cessation/reduction. While deep brain stimulation (DBS) targeting the subthalamic nucleus (STN) effectively treats common PD symptoms such as tremor, its impact on FoG is less clear. Rarely, STN-DBS itself can induce FoG.

Background: Pacemaker implantation has become a routine procedure in contemporary cardiology. Several possible complications during and after the procedure have been described, with this article focusing on the rare complication and the prevention of left-sided lead placement after arterial puncture.
Case Summary: A 90-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent transient ischaemic attacks following a dual-chamber pacemaker implantation six weeks earlier.
