Combined Distal Femoral Osteotomy and Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction for Patellar Instability and Genu Valgus: A Case Report and Literature Review by Bin Zhao, Zijian Lian, Xuan Jiang, Songqing Ye, Haohao Bai, Wei Luo, Xinlong Ma

“…Considering the patient's relatively young age, a hip‐knee‐ankle angle (HKA) of 194°, a mechanical lateral distal femoral angle (mLDFA) of 77.5°, a shortened left lower limb of 7 mm, an increased femoral anteversion angle (FAA) of 37.4°, and a patellar instability, we performed MPFL reconstruction and CDFO treatment. In this procedure, computer‐aided design (CAD) combined 3D‐printed osteotomy guide‐assisted CDFO and MPFL reconstruction were performed. …”

METHOD OF IDENTIFICATION OF OBJECT STATES ACCORDING TO THE RESULTS OF FUZZY MEASUREMENTS OF CONTROLLED PARAMETERS by Лев Григорович Раскін, Лариса Вадимівна Сухомлин, Юрій Володимирович Іванчихін, Роман Олегович Корсун

“…The fundamental difference between the proposed logical output mechanism and the traditional one is the refusal to use the production rule base, which ensures the practical independence of the computational procedure from the dimension of the task. To solve the main problem of identifying states, a non-productive approach is proposed, the computational complexity of which practically does not depend on the dimension of the problem (the product of the number of possible states Results.per the number of controlled parameters). …”

Individualized positive end-expiratory pressure guided by driving pressure in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy: a prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial by Yanfang Luo, Siyu Qin, Mengxiao Liu, Qian Shen, Ran An, Yan Jiang

“…The groups showed no differences in ONSD, hemodynamics, and incidence of POD and PPCs (p > 0.05).ConclusionIn comparison with a fixed PEEP of 5 cmH2O, driving pressure-guided individualized PEEP improves intraoperative respiratory mechanics and oxygenation without causing deterioration in hemodynamics, further escalation in intracranial pressure, or an increase in the incidence of POD. Nevertheless, this procedure requires meticulous monitoring. Unfortunately, individualized PEEP did not result in a reduction in the incidence of PPCs in this study.Clinical Trial Registrationhttp://www.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2400081338.…”
