TL;DR: The diagnosis and treatment of posterior dislocation of the shoulder with an associated impression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head is described.
Abstract: ©2004 British Editorial Society of Bone and Joint Surgery doi:10.1302/0301-620X.86B3. 14985 $2.00 J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 2004;86-B:324-32. Posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a rare but clinically and radiologically well-defined entity. It accounts for less than 2% of all dislocations of the shoulder,1,2 but is of diagnostic and therapeutic interest because most are missed on the initial examination.3-6 In a series of 24 patients with posterior dislocation, 21 had not been recognised initially.7 There is confusion between posterior subluxation and dislocation. Posterior dislocation is an acute entity associated with trauma and with an impression defect of the humeral head. Its treatment is determined by the size of the defect and the duration of the dislocation. The term dislocation has been applied, but in fact this represents subluxation because some of the articular surface of the humeral head is in contact with the glenoid and some behind it. Recurrent posterior subluxation is a distinct and separate entity which is often not associated with trauma and requires completely different management such as non-operative treatment or posterior reconstruction of the shoulder.8 The patient complains of pain and instability with his arm in a provocative position usually including forward flexion, adduction and internal rotation.9 There is also confusion between posterior dislocation and fracture-dislocation. Posterior dislocation may be associated with fractures of the surgical neck of the humerus or fractures of the tuberosities. Fracture-dislocations have been classified by Neer10 as two-, threeor four-part posterior fracture-dislocations. They require a different approach and treatment such as osteosynthesis or shoulder arthroplasty. This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of posterior dislocation of the shoulder with an associated impression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head. Chronic posterior dislocation of the shoulder has often been referred to as being either ‘old’, ‘missed’, ‘locked’ or ‘fixed’. The terms ‘locked’ or ‘fixed’ have also been used to describe irreducible acute dislocations associated with an impression defect of the humeral head.11 Chronic posterior dislocation of the shoulder is a missed acute posterior dislocation which has been unrecognised for more than three weeks and characteristically there is an impression fracture of the articular surface of the humeral head.

TL;DR: E epidemiology, pathophysiology, natural history and latest developments in treatment of HF in patients with dilated (DCM), hypertrophic (HCM) and restrictive (RCM) cardiomyopathies are focused on.
Abstract: Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of heart muscle diseases and an important cause of heart failure (HF). Current knowledge on incidence, pathophysiology and natural history of HF in cardiomyopathies is limited, and distinct features of their therapeutic responses have not been systematically addressed. Therefore, this position paper focuses on epidemiology, pathophysiology, natural history and latest developments in treatment of HF in patients with dilated (DCM), hypertrophic (HCM) and restrictive (RCM) cardiomyopathies. In DCM, HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) has high incidence and prevalence and represents the most frequent cause of death, despite improvements in treatment. In addition, advanced HF in DCM is one of the leading indications for heart transplantation. In HCM, HF with preserved ejection (HFpEF) affects most patients with obstructive, and ∼10% of patients with non-obstructive HCM. A timely treatment is important, since development of advanced HF, although rare in HCM, portends a poor prognosis. In RCM, HFpEF is common, while HFrEF occurs later and more frequently in amyloidosis or iron overload/haemochromatosis. Irrespective of RCM aetiology, HF is a harbinger of a poor outcome. Recent advances in our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the development of HF in cardiomyopathies have significant implications for therapeutic decision-making. In addition, new aetiology-specific treatment options (e.g. enzyme replacement therapy, transthyretin stabilizers, immunoadsorption, immunotherapy, etc.) have shown a potential to improve outcomes. Still, causative therapies of many cardiomyopathies are lacking, highlighting the need for the development of effective strategies to prevent and treat HF in cardiomyopathies.

TL;DR: Observations from multiple Earth-based observatories of Haumea passing in front of a distant star (a multi-chord stellar occultation) report the presence of a ring with an opacity of 0.5, which constrains the three-dimensional orientation of Haumesa and its triaxial shape, which is inconsistent with a homogeneous body in hydrostatic equilibrium.

TL;DR: A survey of state-of-the-art research activities addressing the field of QoE management, focusing in particular on the domain of wireless networks and addressing three management aspects:QoE modeling, monitoring and measurement, and adaptation and optimization is given.
Abstract: With the move towards converged all-IP wireless network environments, managing end-user Quality of Experience (QoE) poses a challenging task, aimed at meeting high user expectations and requirements regarding reliable and cost-effective communication, access to any service, anytime and anywhere, and across multiple operator domains. In this paper, we give a survey of state-of-the-art research activities addressing the field of QoE management, focusing in particular on the domain of wireless networks and addressing three management aspects: QoE modeling, monitoring and measurement, and adaptation and optimization. Furthermore, we identify and discuss the key aspects and challenges that need to be considered when conducting research in this area.

TL;DR: Which issues are important to address when assessing cardiac function and how (regional) deformation and myocardial contractility are related are discussed and the observed deformation patterns are discussed.
Abstract: Recent developments in echocardiographic imaging technology and processing enabled the quantification of myocardial motion and deformation in a clinical setting. Echocardiographic strain (-rate) imaging provides a relatively easy way to study myocardial deformation. However, although (local) deformation is clearly linked to cardiac (dys-) function, it is important to understand how this information can be used in clinical practice and how specific deformation patterns should be interpreted. This review paper first discusses which issues are important to address when assessing cardiac function and how (regional) deformation and myocardial contractility are related. The use and interpretation of deformation profiles is further illustrated for some typical cardiac pathologies. The observed deformation patterns are discussed in light of the changes in regional contractility (ischemia), timing of contractile force development (LBBB and heart failure), pressure/volume overload, and assessing diastolic function.
