To assess the knowledge and confidence of junior doctors and non-specialists in examining and making a diagnosis of patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) diseases. ⋯ The GALS examination is a useful screening tool for junior doctors and non-specialists in a direct access setting to rule out musculoskeletal problems.

Aiming at the problem of low accuracy in extracting small blood vessels from existing retinal blood vessel images, a retinal blood vessel segmentation method based on a combination of a multi-scale linear detector and local and global enhancement is proposed. ⋯ The segmentation accuracy is high, and better blood vessel segmentation results can be obtained.

This study aims to analyze the effect of lyophilized recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide on the endothelial function of patients with acute myocardial infarction. ⋯ Lyophilized recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide can improve the FMD, increase the content of NO in the blood, and effectively reduce the level of endothelin-1, which is of great significance to improve the endothelial function of patients with acute myocardial infarction and is worth clinical application.

This article is based on deep learning algorithms and uses MRI to study the development of congenital heart septal defects in neonatal brain tissue. ⋯ Lateral ventricle D/D 'and C/C' is more sensitive indicator which can be evaluated with the difference between the volume of congenital heart septal defects in newborn normal neonatal brain; when the D/D 'value> 0.28, C/C' value> 0.12. For the diagnosis and evaluation of congenital heart septal defect neonatal brain volume abnormalities have a certain reference value.

In this study we aimed to investigate the long-term clinical and radiological results, revision rates and causes, and the rate of implant survival in total hip arthroplasty performed using CLS® expansion cup and Spotorno® cementless femoral stem. ⋯ In total hip arthroplasty using a cementless expansive acetabular cup, a 95.6% survival rate is achieved after an average of 14 years, whereas the rate decreases to 85% after 17 years. Even if the incidence of cup breakage is reduced with proper implantation, particle disease and periacetabular osteolysis remains a problem for the long-term survival.
