Article Abstract
Purpose: Achieving a secure anastomosis and complete hemostasis is essential for surgically treating type A acute aortic dissection (TAAAD). This study assessed the clinical feasibility of "tailored stand-up collar (TSC)" technique for constructing the distal stump.
Methods: We enrolled 68 patients who underwent ascending aortic repair for TAAAD. Patients were categorized according to the technique for distal stump construction: conventional (C) group using only a felt strip (32 cases); post-aortotomy (P) group, with a Hydrofit-felt strip attached after aortotomy (18 cases), and TSC group, where a Hydrofit-felt strip attached during cooling (18 cases). Pre-operative characteristics, procedural profiles, and post-operative outcomes were evaluated.
Results: The pre-operative characteristics were identical among the groups. The durations of cardiopulmonary bypass, hemostasis, and surgery were significantly shorter in the P and TSC groups. The duration of open distal in the TSC group (21 min) was significantly shorter than the other two groups. Post-operative additional procedures were not required for the TSC group and their post-operative hospital stay was significantly shorter (47.1% of patients were discharged within 2 weeks).
Conclusion: The TSC technique would be practical because of its high reproducibility in terms of ease of use, shorter anastomotic time, and secure hemostasis.

Introduction/aims: Therapeutic electrical stimulation (ES) of repaired nerves has been demonstrated to improve muscle function. Previous studies applied ES to the proximal transected nerve end (P-ES) with benefits to the neuronal cell body. We investigated whether a single ES dose applied to the distal end (D-ES) or distal and proximal ends (DP-ES) prior to nerve repair provides benefits to neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and muscle recovery.

Background: Management of the capsulotomy at termination of hip arthroscopic procedures in the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is debated. Clinical outcomes in favor of capsular closure were demonstrated in a retrospective study; nonetheless, this finding could not be confirmed in a recent randomized, controlled trial comparing capsular closure with unrepaired capsulotomy.
Purpose/hypothesis: This randomized, controlled multicenter trial aimed to evaluate the effect of capsular closure on subjective postoperative outcomes and revision rates in patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAIS.

Objective: To characterize multinational trends and patterns of opioid analgesic prescribing by sex and age.
Design, Setting, And Participants: We studied opioid analgesic prescribing from 2001 to 2019 with common protocol using population-based databases from eighteen countries and one special administrative region.
Main Outcome Measures: We measured opioid prescribing by geographical region, sex and age, estimating annual prevalent, incident, and nonincident opioid prescribing per 100 population with a 95% confidence interval (CI) and meta-analyzed the multinational and regional opioid prescribing with a random-effects model.

Background: This analysis was aimed to characterize cutaneous manifestations associated with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) and management of facial angiofibroma in the United States from a patient/caregiver perspective. Data was collected from an international survey of TSC Alliance conducted during May-June 2017 by distributing a link to patients/caregivers through various channels including social media.
Results: Of the 418 caregivers and 133 patients, 336 (80.

This study aimed to assess differences in fresh semen quality between mature and senile dogs, focusing on oxidative stress markers, including spermatozoa lipid peroxidation and enzymatic antioxidant activity. Furthermore, the ability of frozen-thawed spermatozoa from these age groups to bind to the zona pellucida was investigated. Forty clinically healthy dogs were categorized into two groups: mature (3 ± 0.
