Article Abstract
Purpose: Overactive bladder (OAB) is a prevalent condition that can have a significant impact on quality of life. Sacral neuromodulation (SNM) is proven as an effective treatment option for OAB patients. Rechargeable devices have gained popularity in recent years. However, there is a paucity of data investigating revision rates for rechargeable SNM devices and associated impacting factors.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study to investigate the revision rates of SNM devices in patients diagnosed with OAB. Patients who underwent implantation of rechargeable or non-rechargeable SNM devices at our institution between January 2019 and June 2023 were included. Revision events, reasons for revisions, and patient demographics were analyzed and compared between the device groups.
Results: The study included 246 patients. One hundred fifty received rechargeable SNM devices and 96 received non-rechargeable devices. Revision rates were significantly different between the two groups, with 34% of patients in the rechargeable device group requiring revisions compared to 13.5% in the non-rechargeable group (p < 0.001). The most common reasons for revision in the rechargeable group included difficulty charging (35.3%) and reduction of symptom improvement (23.5%). Having a rechargeable device resulted in a significantly higher probability of requiring a revision over time compared to non-rechargeable (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Our study demonstrated that patients who received rechargeable SNM devices were more likely to require revision. Factors such as device malfunction or difficulties connecting to the device may contribute to the higher revision rates. Further studies are needed to elucidate factors affecting revision rates in SNM devices.

A Retrospective Review of Craniosynostosis Reconstruction at a Community Children's Hospital Compared With Academic Centers.
J Craniofac Surg
September 2025
Department of Pediatric Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Children's Hospital Colorado.
Background: Craniosynostosis repair is traditionally performed at high-volume academic centers with multidisciplinary teams. Access barriers in rural or suburban regions raise the question of whether comparable outcomes can be achieved and if this surgery can be performed safely in community settings.
Objective: To evaluate the safety and perioperative outcomes of cranial vault reconstruction for craniosynostosis performed at a community-based children's hospital and compare these outcomes to those reported at academic institutions.
Race, Ethnicity, Insurance Payer, and Pediatric Cardiac Arrest Survival.

Division of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology and Critical Care, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Importance: Lower survival rates among Black adults relative to White adults after in-hospital cardiac arrest are well-described, but these findings have not been consistently replicated in pediatric studies.
Objective: To use a large, national, population-based inpatient database to evaluate the associations between in-hospital mortality in children receiving cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and patient race or ethnicity, patient insurance status, and the treating hospital's proportion of Black and publicly insured patients.
Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective population-based cohort study used the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database (1997-2019 triennial versions).
Comparison of antirotation proximal femoral nail and talon locking nail systems in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures: functional and cost-effectiveness outcomes.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Aybars Kıvrak Orthopedics Clinic, Adana, Turkey.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and cost-effectiveness of two widely used intramedullary fixation systems-the Proximal Femoral Nail Antirotation (PFNA) and the Proximal Femoral Nail with Talon Locking System (PFN-TLS)-in the treatment of intertrochanteric femur fractures (ITFF).
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on 118 patients aged 65-90 years who underwent surgical treatment for ITFF using either PFNA (n = 53) or PFN-TLS (n = 65). All patients were followed for a minimum of 24 months.
Drug-Eluting Resorbable Scaffold Versus Balloon Angioplasty for Below-the-Knee Peripheral Artery Disease: 2-Year Results From the LIFE-BTK Trial.

Division of Cardiology, Columbia University Irving Medical Center, New York, NY (S.A.P.).
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.
