Asymptomatic cable twisting in a patient with impending Twiddler syndrome detected during deep brain stimulation surgery for Parkinson's disease: A case report
CONCLUSION: Twiddler's syndrome is a rare complication of DBS. Subclinical risk of cable twisting jeopardizing Twiddler's syndrome is rarely detected without clinical indications of hardware failure. Neurosurgeons should be cognizant of and regularly monitor the implanted device in case serious complications occur.PMID:38628532 | PMC:PMC11021058 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_844_2023 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Acute cervical epidural abscess with concurrent calcium pyrophosphate deposition after cervical spinal surgery: A case report
CONCLUSION: An acute onset of SEA complicated with CPPD after cervical surgery has rarely been reported. The suppurative inflammation fostered by the crystal-induced inflammation may account for the acute symptomatology.PMID:38628534 | PMC:PMC11021091 | DOI:10.25259/SNI_740_2023 (Source: Hand Surgery)

The efficacy of minimally invasive coronary artery bypass grafting (mics cabg) for patients with coronary artery diseases and diabetes: a single center retrospective study
CONCLUSION: In patients with comorbid CAD and diabetes, MICS CABG and CCABG had comparable revascularization performances. Moreover, MICS CABG can effectively reduce, if not prevent, poor clinical outcomes/complications, including incision healing, sternal infection and prolonged length of stay in diabetes patients.PMID:38632609 | DOI:10.1186/s13019-024-02717-8 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Evaluation of the consistency of the MRI- based AI segmentation cartilage model using the natural tibial plateau cartilage
CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrated that our MRI-based AI cartilage model can reliably extract morphologic features such as cartilage shape and defect location of the tibial plateau cartilage. This approach could potentially benefit clinical practices such as diagnosing osteoarthritis. However, in terms of cartilage thickness and three-dimensional accuracy, MRI-based AI cartilage model underestimate the actual cartilage volume. The previous AI verification methods may not be completely accurate and should be verified with natural cartilage images. Combining multiple verification methods will improve the accuracy of the AI m...

Calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm: report of a case involving the temporomandibular joint region and review of the literature
Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol Oral Radiol. 2024 Jan 11:S2212-4403(24)00001-4. doi: 10.1016/j.oooo.2023.12.791. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe calcified chondroid mesenchymal neoplasm (CCMN) represents a recently recognized tumor type with only 50 well-documented cases in the English-language literature. Herein we report an additional case of CCMN presenting as a large mass in the temporomandibular joint region of a 41-year-old female. A review of previously reported cases and the current case of CCMN shows the following features: 1) average age 52 years (range 14-87 years) and an approximately even sex distribution; 2)...
