BACKGROUND Anatomic limb alignment often differs from mechanical limb alignment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We sought to assess the accuracy, specificity, and sensitivity for each of three commonly used ranges for anatomic limb alignment (3-9°, 5-10° and 2-10°) in predicting an acceptable range (neutral ± 3°) for mechanical limb alignment after TKA. We also assessed whether the accurac...

To evaluate the results of the two-stage anatomic correction of simple transposition of the great arteries the size, distensibility, and histologic characteristics of the anatomic pulmonary root, which arises from the anatomic left ventricle and which we termed the functional aortic root after anatomic correction, were determined in seven patients before and twice after anatomic correction (mea...

BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the impact of anatomic and non-anatomic liver resection on prognosis of patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using a meta-analysis. METHODOLOGY Literature on anatomic versus non-anatomic liver resection for the treatment of small HCC published in public was retrieved. RESULTS Four non-randomized controlled trials studies were included in this analys...

Ultra-weak photon emission of a living system has received scientific attention because of its potential for monitoring oxidative metabolism and oxidative damage to tissues. Heretofore, most studies have focused only on the emission from hands. The data regarding emission from other anatomic locations are limited. A previous multi-anatomic site recording of four subjects quantitatively demonstr...

Abstract Background Anatomic variation may increase the difficulty and risk of anatomic segmentectomy. The preoperative three-dimensional computed tomography bronchography angiography (3D-CTBA) can provide a detailed model segmental structure, contribute to precise safe Case presentation This is case anomalous bronchi pulmonary vessels in right upper posterior segment (RS 2 ). Under guidance 3D...
