The average age of the participants was 45.18 ± 8.86 years (ranging from 25 to 65 years). Three potential entry points for the anterior occipital condyle screw were identified. A simulated screw with a radius of 1.75 mm was created to replicate the screw trajectory and adjusted to establish the maximum and minimum cranial limits for each entry point. The feasibility of screw fixation was assessed, identifying the optimal entry point and analyzing relevant screw placement measurements.ResultsThe success rates for screw placement were 95.6%, 94.4%, and 88.1% for the middle, lateral, and medial entry points, respectively. The success rate for the medial entry point was notably lower than that for the middle and lateral points. No statistically significant differences were found in the measured parameters between the left and right sides. The medial entry point exhibited the highest abduction angulation (35.72° ± 2.01°) for screw placement, followed by the middle (25.96° ± 1.86°) and lateral (15.14° ± 1.82°) points. The middle and lateral entry points displayed a considerably wider safe range of cranial angulation and screw placement length than the medial entry point. All three entry points achieved success rates exceeding 90% when the cranial angulation ranged from 2° to 6°.ConclusionThe anterior occipital condyle screw presents a workable choice for anterior craniovertebral fixation. The middle entry point is identified as the optimal approach for placing 3.5-mm diameter screws.","PeriodicalId":16129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Medical Research","volume":"53 3","pages":"3000605251325677"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11905021/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143615581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Correlation between ultrasonography measurements and estimated glomerular filtration rate was performed. Differences in the mean estimated glomerular filtration rate were evaluated using one-way analysis of variance.ResultsThe mean (± SD) estimated glomerular filtration rate was 34.47 ± 15.81 mL/min/1.73 m2 (range: 9.6-45.9 mL/min/1.73 m2). The mean (± SD) average renal length was 8.97 ± 1.42 cm. The mean parenchymal and cortical thicknesses were 1.36 ± 0.45 and 0.85 ± 0.27 cm, respectively. There was a significant correlation between the estimated glomerular filtration rate and the average renal length, relative renal length, and parenchymal thickness (r = 0.26, p = 0.009; r = 0.25, p = 0.01; and r = 0.25, p = 0.01, respectively). A statistically significant negative correlation was observed between renal echogenicity and estimated glomerular filtration rate (p < 0.001).ConclusionA correlation was noted between the degree of renal function loss and sonographic findings. This indicates that ultrasound can be used in combination with other modalities for the diagnosis, assessment, and monitoring of chronic kidney disease.","PeriodicalId":16129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Medical Research","volume":"53 3","pages":"3000605251327484"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143719837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, many commercial immunoassays to assess B-type natriuretic peptide have been reported to undergo interference due to various factors. At present, the commonly used assays to assess B-type natriuretic peptide are enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and direct chemiluminescence, which are based on a \"sandwich structure\" formed by dual antibodies; both assays have been reported to undergo interference. We report the case of a patient whose B-type natriuretic peptide results, which were detected using a cyclic amplified fluorescence immunoassay, were false-positive. The patient had a low-risk pulmonary embolism without right heart failure; however, her B-type natriuretic peptide results were surprisingly high. Further study confirmed that the abnormal B-type natriuretic peptide result was caused by the interference of the human anti-mouse antibodies. Therefore, when encountering B-type natriuretic peptide results that are not consistent with the clinical situation, the possibility of interference in the assay should be considered.","PeriodicalId":16129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Medical Research","volume":"53 3","pages":"3000605251325942"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11938879/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143677020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analyses included chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression to evaluate associations between impaction characteristics and caries prevalence.ResultsOf the 1594 eligible OPGs, 37% exhibited MTM impactions. Among the 828 impacted MTMs identified, 19.56% were associated with carious lesions on the distal surface of adjacent MSMs. Statistical analysis revealed that mesioangular impactions significantly increased the likelihood of distal caries in MSMs. In contrast, Pell-Gregory Classes II-C and III-C were associated with reduced odds of caries. Age emerged as a strong predictor, whereas gender and other Winter's classification categories did not significantly influence caries occurrence.ConclusionImpacted MTMs are associated with an increased risk of caries on the distal surface of MSMs. Impaction patterns and patient age influenced the prevalence of caries. Prophylactic removal of impacted MTMs in high-risk cases may help reduce the risk of caries development in MSMs.","PeriodicalId":16129,"journal":{"name":"Journal of International Medical Research","volume":"53 3","pages":"3000605251324489"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11907514/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143624976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
