    Abstract Background: Posterior open-wedge osteotomy and glenoid reconstruction using a J-shaped iliac crest bone graft showed promising clinical results for the treatment of posterior instability with excessive glenoid retroversion and posteroinferior glenoid deficiency.
    Purpose: To evaluate the biomechanical performance of the posterior J-shaped graft to restore glenoid retroversion and posteroinferior deficiency in a cadaveric shoulder instability model.
    Study design: Controlled laboratory study.
    Methods: A posterior glenoid open-wedge osteotomy was performed in 6 fresh-frozen shoulders, allowing the glenoid retroversion to be set at 0°, 10°, and 20°. At each of these 3 preset angles of glenoid retroversion, the following conditions were simulated: (1) intact joint, (2) posterior Bankart lesion, (3) 20% posteroinferior glenoid deficiency, and (4) posterior J-shaped graft (at 0° of retroversion). With the humerus in the Jerk position (60° of glenohumeral anteflexion, 60° of internal rotation), stability was evaluated by measuring posterior humeral head (HH) translation (in mm) and peak translational force (in N) to translate the HH over 25% of the glenoid width. Glenohumeral contact patterns were measured using pressure-sensitive sensors. Fixation of the posterior J-graft was analyzed by recording graft micromovements during 3000 cycles of 5-mm anteroposterior HH translations.
    Results: Reconstructing the glenoid with a posterior J-graft to 0° of retroversion significantly increased stability compared with a posterior Bankart lesion and posteroinferior glenoid deficiency in all 3 preset degrees of retroversion (
    Conclusion: Biomechanical analysis of the posterior J-graft demonstrated reliable restoration of initial glenohumeral joint stability, normalization of contact patterns comparable with that of an intact shoulder joint with neutral retroversion, and secure initial graft fixation in the cadaveric model.
    Clinical relevance: This study confirms that the posterior J-graft can restore stability and glenohumeral loading conditions comparable with those of an intact shoulder.

    Abstract Originally described in 1953, today the so-called J-wave is the source of much controversy. As a marker of so-called "early repolarization", this variant has been regarded as a totally benign variant since the 1960's. However, since then a wealth of data have indicated that the J-wave may be a marker of a highly arrhythmogenic substrate with a resultant high risk of sudden cardiac death.In this case report a case of an accessory papillary muscle with a prominent J-wave is described. This may be the first of many possible cases where papillary muscle variants may be the cause of the J-wave.

    Abstract Introduction: The right atrium is the least well studied cardiac chamber. Even less is known about the right atrial appendage (RAA). Recently, the RAA has been shown to be the site of numerous and diverse pathological processes. Furthermore, the RAA can also be the site of origin of atrial fibrillation with obvious implications for ablation procedures. No standard method of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for imaging of the RAA can be found in current literature, despite numerous reports for transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).
    Purpose of this study: The purpose of this study was to determine if a reliable transthoracic window could be found for consistent and reliable imaging of the RAA.
    Method: 30 patients (15 men and 15 women) were included into this study. All patients were placed in the left lateral decubitus position and echocardiography was performed with a Vivid E9 ultrasound system (GE Healthcare). The RAA was visualized by tilting the probe infero-medially from the standard apical four chamber view.
    Results: The RAA was visualized in all 30 patients. The RAA followed a consistent upwards and leftwards path anterior to the aortic root.
    Conclusion: TTE is a valid method of imaging of the RAA.

    Abstract Deep venous thrombosis is a common clinical problem with significant morbidity and mortality. Since the iconic publication by Virchow in 1856, which placed all known causes of deep venous thrombosis into three groups, namely venous stasis, vascular injury and hypercoagulability, numerous causes have been added to each category. This case report highlights the importance of an anatomical imaging study of the pelvis in cases of recurring, proximal deep venous thrombosis of the lower limb.

    Abstract Atrial fibrillation is the most common pathologic supraventricular tachycardia. It has many causes, is an expensive disease, impairs quality of life and leads to an increased risk of death. Atrial dissociation is characterised by the presence of two independent sets of P-waves. This peculiar abnormality may give rise to the scenario where one atrium is in atrial fibrillation while the other is in sinus rhythm. This is the first published case of atrial dissociation where the phenomenon is demonstrated by transmitral and transtricuspid pulsed wave Doppler.

    Abstract Rainbow research tends to prioritise gender and sexuality experiences over the racialised experiences of Asian rainbow young people. Informed by an intersectional lens, we employed a hope-based ecological framework to examine how multiple overlapping axes of oppression (e.g. cisgenderism, heterosexism and racism) shape the aspirations of these youth. We drew on the voices of Asian participants from the 2021 Aotearoa New Zealand
