Vacuolar H+ ‐ATPase in Diabetes, Hypertension, and Atherosclerosis
ABSTRACTVacuolar H+-ATPase (V-ATPase) is a multisubunit protein complex which, along with its accessory proteins, resides in almost every eukaryotic cell. It acts as a proton pump and as such is responsible for regulating pH in lysosomes, endosomes, and the extracellular space. Moreover, V-ATPase has been implicated in receptor-mediated signaling. Although numerous studies have explored the role of V-ATPase in cancer, osteoporosis, and neurodegenerative diseases, research on its involvement in vascular disease remains limited. Vascular diseases pose significant challenges to human health. This review aimed to shed light on...

Automatic Skeleton Segmentation in CT Images Based on U-Net
AbstractBone metastasis, emerging oncological therapies, and osteoporosis represent some of the distinct clinical contexts which can result in morphological alterations in bone structure. The visual assessment of these changes through anatomical images is considered suboptimal, emphasizing the importance of precise skeletal segmentation as a valuable aid for its evaluation. In the present study, a neural network model for automatic skeleton segmentation from bidimensional computerized tomography (CT) slices is proposed. A total of 77 CT images and their semimanual skeleton segmentation from two acquisition protocols (whole...

Patient-Reported Anxiety or Depression Increased the Risk of Dissatisfaction Despite Improvement in Pain or Function Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Swedish Register-Based Observational Study of 8,745 Patients
Remaining pain and functional limitations may cause dissatisfaction in patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Furthermore, anxiety and depression are associated with remaining postoperative symptoms and dissatisfaction. We investigated if patient-reported anxiety or depression increased the risk of dissatisfaction 1 year after TKA in patients who improved in pain or function. (Source: The Journal of Arthroplasty)

Complex elbow fracture-dislocations – what factors are associated with a poor post-operative outcome?
ConclusionIn most cases, good post-operative functional results can be achieved using standardized treatment protocols. However, complication and revision rates remain high. Patients older than 70 years of age or with a BMI over 35 kg/m2 are at risk for an inferior outcome and require close follow-up monitoring. (Source: European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery)

Baastrup ’s disease prevalence across various age groups and its association with degenerative changes: insights from STIR sequence in MRI
ConclusionBaastrup ’s disease is more commonly observed than being considered rare, displaying an incremental occurrence with increasing age in symptomatic individuals notably discernible on the STIR sequence. Using the STIR sequence seems to promote a consensus among radiologists, irrespective of their experience l evels. (Source: European Spine Journal)
