Beyond the Kidney and Lung: Cutaneous and Mucosal Clues to Human Hantavirus Disease
Rodent exposure and aerosolized excreta can lead to hantavirus infection with systemic endothelial injury and capillary leak, resulting in thrombocytopenia and syndromes such as HPS/HCPS and HFRS/NE. Early dermatologic and mucosal findings, including flushing, conjunctival injection, petechiae/purpura, and mucosal bleeding, may provide important clues ...

Body Mass Index Modifies the Effect of Hemovac Drainage on Blood Loss After Total Knee Arthroplasty
In tranexamic acid–treated primary total knee arthroplasty, estimated blood loss increased with rising BMI when no drain was used but remained stable across the BMI range with Hemovac drainage. These findings support a BMI‐based, selective use of drains rather than routine placement.

A comparative study of bicompartmental unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (bi‐UKA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with bicompartmental osteoarthritis. The image illustrates key anatomical differences in implant design, outlines the study population (bi‐UKA: n = 35, TKA: n = 45), and highlights functional evaluation metrics including the ...

Under a validated Doppler‐guided safety protocol (≤ 3 cm), acute shortening‐lengthening and bone transport show comparable safety and functional outcomes for infected tibial defects, but shortening‐lengthening significantly reduces wound healing time—a design‐inherent benefit without functional superiority. ABSTRACT Objective The management of infected
