PURPOSE: Much of the current literature on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has assessed the impact of preoperative medical comorbidities on postoperative clinical outcomes. The literature concerning the impact of psychological disorders such as depression on TSA has increased in popularity in recent years, but there lacks a thorough review of the influence of depression on postoperative pain and functional outcomes. METHODS: We queried PubMed/MEDLINE and identified six clinical studies that evaluated the influence of a psychiatric diagnosis of depression on patient outcomes after TSA...

OBJECTIVES: Accurate laboratory diagnosis is essential for effective patient care, but the rejection of specimens within laboratories can have serious consequences. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted from September to November 2021 at the University of Gondar Comprehensive Specialized Hospital laboratory. Two years of laboratory data were collected from laboratory log books and analyzed to determine trends in specimen rejection rates and identify potential reasons for those rejections...

In December 1923, a twelve-day course took place at the University of Zaragoza, specifically at the Faculty of Medicine, given by Professor Róbert Bárány, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1914 for his discoveries on the vestibular apparatus.Professor Robert Bárány came to the faculty at the invitation of Professor Victor Fairén through the University Exchange programme. This course consisted of four lectures and twelve lessons a day in which he presented his knowledge of the physiopathology of the vestibule and cerebellum, as well as practical demonstrations of the physical examination of nystagmus and cerebellar pathology...

The falciform ligament is a double peritoneal fold that separates the left and right hepatic lobes anatomically. Fatty-falciform ligament appendage torsion (F-FLAT) is defined as torsion of the extraperitoneal fat within the falciform ligament causing fat infarction, which is an uncommon surgical presentation, scarcely documented within the current literature. The objective of presenting this case report and reviewing the literature on F-FLAT is to discuss the clinical presentation, possible associated factors and management strategies in regard to this rare pathology...

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma is an emerging technique that requires both mastery in minimally invasive liver resection and biliary reconstruction. Due to technical difficulties in biliovascular dissection, radical portal lymphadenectomy and the need for fine suturing during bilioenteric anastomosis, this type of resection is generally not performed laparoscopically, even at high-volume, liver-surgery centers.1-3 In modern literature, a detailed, operative description of robotic technique for this operation with outcome data is lacking...

Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology is a speciality department of dentistry which deals with identification of diseases affecting oral and maxillofacial regions and investigates the cause, processes and effect of these diseases. Books, internet, lectures have made great progress but there is still a gap between students' understanding and interest in the subject. The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyse the challenges faced by undergraduate students in understanding oral pathology theory & practical and modify the teaching process accordingly...

Background Appendicitis is one of the most common causes of acute abdominal pain and appendicectomy is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures. The proliferation of radiological imaging has reduced the number of patients who have a normal appendix removed, i.e., a negative appendicectomy. We aimed to assess the effect of preoperative imaging on the negative appendicectomy rate (NAR). Methodology All emergency appendicectomies performed at a district general hospital in the United Kingdom over two separate one-year periods were retrospectively analysed using emergency theatre log books...

Even today, more than 60 years after the discovery of Minamata disease, many controversies continue to arise from various viewpoints. Recently, Dr. Shigeru Takaoka has published a book entitled "Minamata Disease and the Responsibility of Medical authorities" as a summary of his and colleagues' previous works in which he presented their objections to past academic theories. We, who were also engaged in this research at Kumamoto University, would like to address some substantial viewpoints. Drs. Nishimura and Okamoto clarified why a series of cases that were clearly Minamata disease were found only in the Minamata plant from late 1950 to 1975, even though many acetaldehyde plants have been operating in Japan for many years...

INTRODUCTION: Primary extra-axial ependymomas, though rare, the majority of such lesions are identified as WHO grade III ependymomas. These ependymomas may mimick a meningioma on radiological investigations which can be confirmed by histopathology. RESEARCH QUESTION: We show in this case report a rare presentation of extra-axial supratentorial ependymoma with concomitant subdural hematoma mimicking a parasagittal meningioma.

BACKGROUND: Neuromotor rehabilitation and improvement of upper limb functions are necessary to improve the life quality of patients who have experienced injuries or have pathological outcomes. Modern approaches, such as robotic-assisted rehabilitation can help to improve rehabilitation processes and thus improve upper limb functions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of robots in upper limb disability improvement and rehabilitation. METHODS: This scoping review was conducted by search in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE (January 2012- February 2022)...

INTRODUCTION: While stillbirth rates have declined in many countries, these declines are less marked in the UK. Fetal growth restriction (FGR) affects about 3% to 7% of all pregnancies and is by far the single strongest risk factor for stillbirth. FGR implies a pathological restriction of the genetic growth potential and is not synonymous with small-for-gestational age (SGA). The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) defines SGA as an estimated fetal weight (EFW) or abdominal circumference (AC) less than the 10th centile...

REVIEW
Jerasit Surintrspanont, Ming Zhou
In 2022, after a six-year interval, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has published the 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Urinary and Male Genital Tumors, which provides a comprehensive update on tumor classification of the genitourinary system. This review article focuses on prostate carcinoma and underscores changes in the prostate chapter as well as those made across the entire series of the 5th edition of WHO Blue Books. Although no major alterations were made to this chapter, some of the most notable updates include restructure of contents and introduction of a new format; standardization of mitotic counts, genomic nomenclatures, and units of length; refined definition for the terms "variant", "subtype", and "histologic pattern"; reclassification of prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN)-like adenocarcinoma as a subtype of prostatic acinar adenocarcinoma; and recognition of treatment-related neuroendocrine prostatic carcinoma as a distinct tumor type...

α2 δ proteins serve as auxiliary subunits of voltage-gated calcium channels, which are essential components of excitable cells such as skeletal and heart muscles, nerve cells of the brain and the peripheral nervous system, as well as endocrine cells. Over the recent years, α2 δ proteins have been identified as critical regulators of synaptic functions, including the formation and differentiation of synapses. These functions require signalling mechanisms which are partly independent of calcium channels...
