    Abstract 3D documentation in forensics and forensic medicine is being introduced more frequently in various institutes around the world. However, several institutes lack capacity in finances as well as staff to perform 3D documentations regularly. This technical paper aims to present a 3D documentation device that is low cost and easy to use and is a viable entry level solution for forensic medical departments. For this the small single-board computer Raspberry Pi 4 was used in conjunction with its high quality (HQ) camera module to create the 3DLamp - a flexible, low cost and easy to use documentation device. Besides a detailed description of the device this paper also presents four case examples where a 3D documentation was performed and analyses the acquired data and the created 3D models. It was found that the device returns feasible 3D models that appear usable for forensic 3D reconstructions.

    Abstract Purpose: Trapeziometacarpal joint (TMC) arthrodesis has a high rate of nonunion. This biomechanical analysis sought to determine the stiffness of 5 fixation methods in a TMC joint arthrodesis model.
    Methods: Five fixation constructs were tested in a validated porcine model: crossed 1.1-mm K-wires, crossed 1.6-mm K-wires, crossed headless compression screws (HCSs), compression plating (CP), and locked compression plating (LCP). The cantilever bending stiffness was measured in abduction, adduction, flexion, and extension. Samples were loaded to failure in extension, and the mode of failure was examined.
    Results: The crossed HCSs performed consistently well in all tests. Loading to failure resulted in screw pullout. In abduction and adduction, HCS and 1.6-mm K-wires were significantly stiffer than the other constructs. The mean load to failure in extension was similar in the HCS, CP, and LCP groups (304 N/mm, 311 N/mm, and 293 N/mm, respectively). There were no differences between CP and LCP in any biomechanical tests, and the mode of failure was through plate bending. The crossed 1.1-mm K-wires performed poorly in all tests.
    Conclusions: Crossed HCS displayed the greatest overall stability. Standard plating in compression mode and LCP had a similar biomechanical performance.
    Clinical relevance: The ideal construct stiffness required for the successful union after TMC joint arthrodesis is unknown, but HCS has the best overall biomechanical performance and, therefore, might be considered the best choice for this clinical setting.

    Abstract Age-related disorders of the musculoskeletal system including sarcopenia, osteoporosis and arthritis represent some of the most common chronic conditions worldwide, for which there remains a great clinical need to develop safer and more efficacious pharmacological treatments. Collectively, these conditions involve multiple tissues, including skeletal muscle, bone, articular cartilage and the synovium within the joint lining. In this review, we discuss the potential for oligonucleotide therapies to combat the unmet clinical need in musculoskeletal disorders by evaluating the successes of oligonucleotides to modify candidate pathological gene targets and cellular processes in relevant tissues and cells of the musculoskeletal system. Further, we discuss the challenges that remain for the clinical development of oligonucleotides therapies for musculoskeletal disorders and evaluate some of the current approaches to overcome these.

    Abstract Background: The anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) is a terminal motor branch of the median nerve innervating the following three muscles from proximal to distal: Flexor pollicis longus (FPL), the radial half of flexor digitorum profundus (FDP), and the pronator quadratus (PQ). The aim of this study was to define the course of the AIN within the PQ to aid surgeons performing distal radial procedures.
    Methods: Ten embalmed cadaveric forearms were dissected to identify the path of the AIN within PQ. An en-bloc excision of the PQ with its supplying AIN and vasculature was performed to identify a safe zone where PQ can be elevated without damaging AIN. A scoping literature search was performed to identify other studies reporting the path of AIN through PQ.
    Results: The mean distance from the radial border of the radius perpendicular to the point at which the AIN enters the PQ was 22.3 mm (range 21-24 mm). The mean distance from the distal wrist crease to the AIN entering PQ was 74.3 mm (range 59-84 mm). The mean number of nerve branches to PQ was 5.2 (range 3-8). In all specimens, the AIN was found to lie on the radial side of the anterior interosseous artery (AIA).
    Conclusions: The AIN courses on the deep surface of the PQ in a longitudinal proximal to distal direction. A 'safe zone' was identified within 20 mm of the radial border of the distal radius, which may be utilised by surgeons in a muscle-splitting approach to the distal radius.

    Abstract Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the pathophysiological implications of severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) by using tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) as a model of right ventricular (RV) volume overload relief.
    Methods and results: This prospective interventional single arm trial (NCT04782908) included patients with invasively diagnosed HFpEF. The following parameters were prospectively assessed before and after T-TEER: left ventricular (LV) diastolic properties by invasive pressure-volume loop recordings; biventricular time-volume curves and function as well as septal curvature by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging; strain analyses for timing of septal motion. Overall, 20 patients (median age 78, interquartile range [IQR] 72-83 years, 65% female) were included. T-TEER reduced TR by a median of 2 (of 5) grades (IQR 2-1). T-TEER increased LV stroke volume and LV end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) (p < 0.001), without increasing LV end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) (p = 0.094), consequently diastolic function improved with a reduction in LVEDP/LVEDV (p = 0.001) and a rightward shift of the end-diastolic pressure-volume relationship. The increase in LVEDV correlated with a decrease in RV end-diastolic volume (p < 0.001) and LV transmural pressure increased (p = 0.028). Secondary to a decrease in early RV filling, improvements in early LV filling were observed, correlating with an alleviation of leftwards bowing of the septum (p < 0.01, respectively).
    Conclusion: Diastolic LV properties in patients with HFpEF and severe TR are importantly determined by ventricular interaction in the setting of RV volume overload. T-TEER reduces RV volume overload and improves biventricular interaction and physiology.

    Abstract The kidney is commonly affected in patients with ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), causing end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in 20-40% of cases. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for eligible patients with ESRD due to AAV. This review provides a summary of patient and graft outcome after kidney transplantation in AAV patients, the risk of relapse and the optimal time of transplantation. We also address the rare event of de novo ANCA-associated vasculitis after kidney transplantation and the treatment options.

    Abstract Background: The underlying pathomechanisms in diabetic retinopathy (DR) remain incompletely understood. The aim of this study was to add to the current knowledge about the particular role of retinal Mller glial cells (RMG) in the initial processes of DR.
    Methods: Applying a quantitative proteomic workflow, we investigated changes of primary porcine RMG under short term high glucose treatment as well as glycolysis inhibition treatment.
    Results: We revealed significant changes in RMG proteome primarily in proteins building the extracellular matrix (ECM) indicating fundamental remodeling processes of ECM as novel rapid response to high glucose treatment. Among others, Osteopontin (SPP1) as well as its interacting integrins were significantly downregulated and organotypic retinal explant culture confirmed the selective loss of SPP1 in RMG upon treatment. Since SPP1 in the retina has been described neuroprotective for photoreceptors and functions against experimentally induced cell swelling, its rapid loss under diabetic conditions may point to a direct involvement of RMG to the early neurodegenerative processes driving DR.
