Impact of Ceiling Suspended Shield Size on Primary Operator Radiation Dose During Coronary Angiography and Intervention

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
Reducing radiation exposure to staff performing coronary angiography and intervention is an occupational health and safety priority for hospitals. We demonstrate that a larger lead acrylic shield, with lead rubber pleats on the lower edge will reduce radiation exposure to the cardiologist performing the procedure by approximately 40%. We recommend that

"Two tribes": Handaxe shape variation shows distinct regional cultural groups in southeastern Britain between 424 000 and 374 000 BP

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines regional and chronological variations in Acheulean handaxe morphology during Marine Isotope Stage 11 (c. 425–365 ka BP) in Britain. Using a data set of 737 handaxes from 13 securely dated sites in East Anglia and the Thames Valley, we apply three‐dimensional geometric morphometric analysis to examine morphological ...

Personalized alignment in total knee arthroplasty reduces patellar tilt: A retrospective study

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Patellofemoral kinematics is crucial for patient satisfaction following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A postoperative patellar tilt greater than 5° has been associated with inferior clinical outcomes. While a femoral component external rotation beyond 3° is generally protective against patellar tilt, personalized alignment may not ...

The Balancing Act: Ergonomic Challenges for Pregnant Microvascular Surgeons in the Operating Room

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the intraoperative ergonomic challenges faced by pregnant microvascular surgeons by comparing detailed motion‐analysis data collected at 36–37 weeks' gestation with postpartum assessments. Findings show that pregnancy significantly increases time spent in unsafe postures (particularly involving the neck, elbows, and knees), while ...

How I Do It: A Stepwise Surgical Technique for Fisch Class B Glomus Tympanicum

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
We describe a stepwise retroauricular microsurgical workflow for bulky tympanic paragangliomas, combining circumferential canaloplasty with temporary removal and replacement of the tympanomeatal flap and malleus to optimize exposure and bleeding control.
