Article Synopsis
  • A scoping review highlights the lack of guidance for long-term follow-up after elbow arthroplasty, prompting a study on the effectiveness of regular surveillance for identifying failing implants.
  • The research analyzed data from 97 elbow arthroplasties performed between 2013 and 2022, revealing that most patients attended follow-up appointments, with special attention on revisions needed after one year.
  • Ultimately, the study established surveillance as valuable, successfully identifying all cases of failed implants that required revisions within the designated follow-up period.

Background: Metal oxide nanoparticle-reinforced polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) has been shown to improve mechanical properties, such as strength. Different types of metal oxide nanoparticles have been used previously, but the comparative effect on the strength of heat-cured denture base resins remains unclear.

Objective: This is a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis that will aim to pool evidence to compare and analyze the effects of the addition of different metal oxide nanoparticles, with varied sizes and concentrations, on the strength (flexural, impact, transverse, compressive tensile strength, and fracture toughness) of heat-cured PMMA.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to achieve consensus among senior orthopedic surgeons on managing type III acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocations using a Delphi survey conducted by the Shoulder, Elbow Society India (SESI).
  • Participation involved twenty selected surgeons who answered two rounds of surveys, with a consensus defined as 70% agreement on a 5-point scale.
  • The survey reached a consensus on seven key management topics, including imaging requirements, treatment options for stable versus unstable injuries, and the efficacy of conservative management techniques.

Introduction: Somatic hypermutation (SHM) of immunoglobulin variable (V) regions by activation induced deaminase (AID) is essential for robust, long-term humoral immunity against pathogen and vaccine antigens. AID mutates cytosines preferentially within WRCH motifs (where W=A or T, R=A or G and H=A, C or T). However, it has been consistently observed that the mutability of WRCH motifs varies substantially, with large variations in mutation frequency even between multiple occurrences of the same motif within a single V region.
