In order to remove a foreign body in the ventricle, such as a ventricular drainage catheter, craniotomy and corticotomy are required to access the ventricle. A case in which a catheter in the 4th ventricle was safely removed with a flexible neuroendoscope is reported.
A 47-year-old man underwent coil embolization and ventricular drainage for subarachnoid hemorrhage. 10 days after the operation, he tore off the ventricular drainage catheter and the catheter remained intracranially. The tip of the catheter was in the 4th ventricle and the operation to remove remaining catheter with a neuroendoscope was performed. Using a neuroendoscope, we could remove the catheter safely and did not detect the complications.
To date, there have been no reports of cases in which a drainage catheter in the ventricle was removed using a flexible endoscope. MHY1485 research buy This case suggests that a flexible endoscope is useful for removing a foreign body from the ventricle less invasively.

To explore the foundational knowledge and research hotspots of the wearable devices field, this study conducted a series of bibliometric analyses on the related literature, including papers' production trends in the field and the distribution of countries, a keyword co-occurrence analysis, theme evolution analysis and research hotspots and trends for the future. By conducting a literature content analysis and structure analysis, we found the following (a) The subject evolution path includes sensor research, sensitivity research and multi-functional device research. (b) Wearable device research focuses on information collection, sensor materials, manufacturing technology and application, artificial intelligence technology application, energy supply and medical applications. The future development trend will be further studied in combination with big data analysis, telemedicine and personalised precision medical application.Manual wheelchair users face a high prevalence of upper extremity pain and injuries associated with poor biomechanics and the relatively low mechanical efficiency of conventional push wheeling. Recently developed geared wheels, which permit the wheelchair user to propel forwards by pulling at the handrims using a 'rowing' motion, have been speculated to improve ergonomics and reduce operational energy costs. This study compared the gross mechanical efficiency (GME) and perceived exertion (RPE) of these geared wheels to standard wheelchair wheels after a motor skill-based training session was conducted to familiarise participants with using both wheels. Fourteen able-bodied males were enrolled in the study. A within-participants, repeated-measures design was used to assess oxygen uptake (VO2), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), energy expenditure (En) and RPE during 5-minute, steady-state wheeling trials. Total external power output (Pext) was obtained using a drag test protocol for comparison over En to determine GME ratio. Stroke frequency and movement pattern were assessed through video tracking and propulsion testing. Although geared wheels required fewer strokes, standard wheels resulted in significantly lower VO2, RPE and En (p ≤ 0.001). These findings suggest overall that standard wheels were more mechanically efficient, likely due to internal energy loss of the geared wheel system.Objective Parent-child role confusion has been shown to influence developmental outcomes for children whose parents have a history of depression; however, more research is needed to understand the pathways by which parental depression increases risk of role confusion. The current study aimed to extend previous literature by evaluating how different family processes (e.g., interparental conflict, guilt induction, family cohesion, and positive parenting practices) contribute to the development of emotional role confusion in families with a history of parental depression.Method The sample was comprised of 90 parent-child dyads (parent Mage = 42, 90% female, 83.3% White; child Mage = 11.51, 51.1% female, 75.6% White) participating in the control group of a randomized controlled trial. All parents had a history of depression. A longitudinal path analysis was conducted to evaluate prospective associations in the multiple mediator model.Results Findings from the current study suggest that parental depressive symptoms are not directly related to the development of parent-child emotional role confusion, but are instead indirectly related through increased interparental conflict observed by youth. Although not identified as significant mediators, guilt induction and positive parenting practices emerged as predictors of emotional role confusion. Lastly, family cohesion did not appear to influence the development of role confusion.Conclusion Findings suggest that parenting behaviors and coparenting relationship quality play important roles in the development of parent-child emotional role confusion, with interparental conflict emerging as the strongest predictor in families with a history of parental depression.
The objective of this study was to understand the relationship between some of the most common diseases that are known to contribute to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and traffic injury crashes. Specific focus was on the relationship between disease and crash type (single-vehicle or multiple-vehicle crash) and between disease and injury severity.
This registry-based study considered all passenger car drivers involved in a crash in Sweden between 2011 and 2016 who were 40 years or older at the time of the crash (
= 54,090). For each crash-involved driver, selected medical diagnoses registered from 1997 until the day before the crash were extracted from the National Patient Register. The drivers were assigned to 1 of 4 groups, depending on prior diseases sleep apnea (SA; group 1,
= 2,165), sleep disorders (group 2,
= 724), Parkinson's or epilepsy (group 3,
= 645) and a reference group (group 4,
= 50,556). Logistic regression analysis compared single-vehicle crashes with multiple-vehicle crashes and moderately/severely injured drivers with slightly/uninjured drivers.
