Background: As a common postoperative neurological complication, postoperative delirium (POD) can lead to poor postoperative recovery in patients, prolonged hospitalization, and even increased mortality. However, POD's mechanism remains undefined and there are no reliable molecular markers of POD to date. The present work examined the associations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) sTREM2 with CSF POD biomarkers, and investigated whether the effects of CSF sTREM2 on POD were modulated by the core pathological indexes of POD (Aβ42, tau, and ptau).

Background: Limited treatment options exist for infrapopliteal disease in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), a condition associated with a high risk of limb loss. Interventional management of diseased infrapopliteal vessels with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is associated with high rates of restenosis and reintervention. In the LIFE-BTK trial, the drug-eluting resorbable scaffold (DRS) demonstrated superior 12-month efficacy compared with PTA in a selected CLTI population with predominantly noncomplex, mildly to moderately calcified lesions.

[Utility of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty in patients with an occupied femoral canal].

Introduction: the presence of implants that occupy the femoral canal is frequent in patients undergoing ipsilateral total knee replacement (TKR). The use of electronic alignment and robotic assistance make intramedullary alignment unnecessary and could be adequate in situations with an occupied femoral canal (OFC).

Material And Methods: we present a prospective cohort of 25 patients who underwent robotic alignment TKR and had prior ipsilateral surgery in the femur that resulted in occupied femoral canal.

Introduction: The management of bleeding and coagulation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has long been recognised as a significant challenge for orthopaedic surgeons. Despite the notable success of empirical anticoagulation in preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) following TKA, the increased risk of postoperative bleeding has also raised extensive concern. Ecchymosis, as one of the most common manifestations indicating postoperative bleeding, holds the potential to indicate the balance of bleeding and hypercoagulation.
